Welcome again to Love Kept Him Alive. Only three chapters to go and yet more complications to come. Because of the response to this, our first, story we will be uploading another when it is completed, we hope that if you enjoyed LKHA that you'll read our second. More violent themes in this one, but only slight ones. Remember Carlotta writes in italics and Rift writes in bold. Enjoy the story and please review.

Carlotta: Hey y'all! Thanks for the reviews. They have been great. Inspiring us to do more with our fanfics and praise for you ... our fans. Anyways, hopefully you will all like the end of Love Kept Him Alive because, alas, it is finishing soon. But do not fret, there is another fanfic on the was, one that Rift and I both like and think is better than this one. On the next chapter of Love Kept Him Alive...Daniel can't stand our uninvited visitor but also has a lovely warmth at his side. What will he do when someone wants something only he knows the answer for?
Steven: The last time I saw you, you were giving a lecture to an empty room.
Daniel: Well, it was full when I started...

Rift: Another chapter down and yet more complications are introduced.
T-Saint: How much did they pay you to spy on us?
Tank Girl:Two dollars and fifteen cents!

I jolted awake. Tears were running down my face. I ran out of Daniel's room, where I had been sleeping and to General Hammond's office.

"Sir I know where Daniel is." I said as I jotted down an address on a piece of paper. Hammond looked at me.

"How do you know this Amabel?" He asked softly.

"I dreamt about it. I saw Daniel being dragged into this house in my dream. He is hurt. He is being tortured."

Hammond instantly rang Jack. "O'Neill, tell everyone to go to this address."

"But sir how do you know?"

"Explanations later." He hung up.

Daniel had taken quite enough. He had nearly passed out on the last jolt. He looked up at the man.

"So Dr. Jackson ready to tell us everything you know about ascension." It wasn't a question it was a demand.

Daniel just smiled. He had seen Jack with his trusty sniper on the top level. The mans head blew off. Everyone dropped to the ground. Sam came up behind Daniel to untie him. Teal'c was covering her.

"Daniel you look awful."

"Thanks Sam."

"We will take you right to Amabel."

"Is she alright?"

"Yeah a little but shaken up but she was sleeping when we left. Warming your bed up for you." Daniel smiled at that nice thought.

Daniel was leaning on Teal'c heavily, the big Jaffa warrior practically carrying him through the halls, it hurt to move, to breathe, to think and he knew he lost consciousness at least once before they made it outside to the waiting ambulance. He was placed on the stretcher and Jack came over to see him.

"Hang in there buddy. We'll get you to the Doc soon." Daniel heard him say and nodded faintly to the grey haired Colonel and lay back on the stretcher.

The man who'd been in charge, the one who shot Daniel, who, unfortunately had not been in charge of his questioning so was still alive, pushed his way to the ambulance.

"This isn't over Dr. Jackson. I promise you that." He spat at the blue eyed archaeologist threateningly, Jack pushed the man away.

"Get him out of here." He told the corporal meant to be restraining him.

Daniel came to consciousness slowly, opening his eyes to the dim interior of the infirmary at the SGC. He felt a hand holding his; he looked down to see Amabel asleep leaning on his bed, her head cushioned in her arms. He smoothed her hair away from her face and smiled at her sleeping form, glad that she was safe and thinking again how lucky he was to love, and be loved by, someone like the beautiful red head watching over him while he slept.

I felt soft hands on my face. I opened my eyes and Daniel was looking at me. His blue eyes showing something special. I smiled at him.

"Hey Danny." I said as I got up and placed a soft kiss on his lips.

"Oh come on you are do better than that." He said with a laugh. I leaned down and gave him a bigger kiss.

"The more passionate ones are for when you come back home. I don't want to hurt you."

"Sweetie you won't hurt me. I love you."

Sam sat on Jack's desk.

"Jack this one really scared me."

"This one what?" Jack asked her.

"The kidnapping of Daniel. You saw what they did to him and Amabel. I now realise that life is too quick for these types of things."

"I couldn't have said it better myself." A voice said from the door.

Sam and Jack turned around and Dr. Fraiser was standing at the door.

"Come in Doc." Jack said.

The petite doctor came in, "Daniel is awake." She said.

Sam got up so quickly and almost ran down to the infirmary to check on the loveable archaeologist.

"Unauthorised off world activation." The announcement echoed through the halls.

"I'd better go and see what's going on." Sam said, squeezed his hand, smiled at Daniel and Amabel and left the infirmary.

She arrived in the dialling room just in time to see sg-10 walk through the event horizon but it was the person with them that held her attention. She turned to Jack and he grinned.

"Daniel is not going to like this."

Sam smiled as well.
