Seven Days of Hell –Chapter Four-
Jack lay on his stiff army bed, arms folded behind his head. His clock read 3:17AM, but Jack was wide awake for the third night in a row. He almost feared to sleep, afraid that the nightmares would return, along with his guilt.
He couldn't save her. He was stuck in this damn mountain base while Sam was either dead or close to it millions of light years away. And he was sitting here on his ass while she was cold, hurt. . .dead. . .
Jack couldn't do it. He couldn't admit to himself that she might be dead. She was always there, always lively and cheerful. She was his light, his reason for staying at the base when he should have retired long ago. She couldn't be dead.
Jack stood suddenly, wincing as his bones ached and the blood rushed to his head. He would save her; he would get his light back.
Leaning against the door, Jack listened for his guard's voices. Swiftly, he opened the door and stepped outside, one of his guards standing and moving to follow him.
"Easy son. Just taking a tinkle."
The guard raised an eyebrow and moved to follow him into the bathroom.
"Uh no. . .Don't even think it." Jack said, sliding into the bathroom and locking the door behind him.
Quickly, Jack glanced around the empty bathroom, looking for a weapon of some kind and found it in Daniel, who stepped out of the fifth stall, pistol in hand.
"Is Teal'c in place?"
"Yep. He's got the Gate activated."
"Well, let's move."
With that, Jack and Daniel came barreling through the bathroom doors, smacking their guards unconcious and, after relieving their weapons, dashing for the Gateroom.
"Daniel. . . "
"What?"
"You have. . . toilet paper on your shoe."
There was an awkward silence. Daniel removed the paper.
Later, Jack and Daniel entered the Gateroom, guns drawn as the Gate activated. Jack winceda bit whenhe saw the unconcious guards sprawled on the floor. Jack waved up at Teal'c, and with Daniel's cover, Jack ran through the Gate to rescue Sam.
