Previously on Missing...

Jack pulled into the first mini-mart he saw. He walked in and grabbed a six packof beer then went to pay for it. He was walking out when he saw someone. "It's him!" was his first startled thought...


At the Carter's house

"Where's Jack?" Jacob asked surprised.

Daniel shrugged "he went to get a drink"

Jacob nodded and turned his attention back to Tommy who was telling him all about his last baseball game.

Daniel small talked with Carol for a half hour before going to call Jack.


ring...

Jack reached over and picked up his cell phone not taking his eyes off the road

"O'Neill" he snapped.

"Jack? Is everything alright?" a voice asked hesitantly

"No Daniel, everything is NOT alright"

There was a pause "Jack, whats going on?" he demanded.

"Well, I'm trailing Carters kidnapper, you?"

"Oh I was talking with- you're WHAT?"

Jack groaned "I am trailing Sam's kidnapper" he said putting emphasis on each word.

There was another pause "Jack are you CRAZY?"he shouted.

"fer cryin' out loud Daniel!" Jack said annoyed "you nearly blew out my eardrum!"

"Sorry, where are you? T- err Murray and I will-"

"no idea, not getting you involved, yet, I'll call the cops when I find out where she is, bye"

Daniel stared at the phone "He hung up" he informed the empty kitchen


Jack threw the phone on the seat and groaned "Daniellllll" he muttered.

The car in front of him suddenly turned right. Jack continued on for a few seconds then slowly turned around and followed the car again.


"Do you know Aunt Sam's daddy?" Tommy asked Daniel suddenly.

Daniel nodded "yeah I know him pretty well"

Tommy nodded "he's her REAL daddy" he whispered.

Daniel looked puzzled "what do you mean, REAL daddy?"

Tommy gave him a little smile "I don't have a real Daddy" he explained

Matt walked over and plopped next toDaniel "hey Tommy? Mom needs you"

Tommy nodded and left. Matt turned toDaniel "He's adopted" he said casually

"oh"

Matt nodded "Mom's sister died 2 years ago. His dad went nuts and commited suicide"

Daniel looked startled "ohI didn't kno-"

"Daniel Jackson" Teal'c called

Daniel stood up quickly "talk to you later Matt"

Matt nodded "bye" he called after Daniel's retreating back

"Teal'c?"

"O'Neill wishes to speak to you" he said calmly handing him the phone.

Daniel grabbed it "Jack?"

"Daniel, do me a favor"

"What?"

"Find out who lives at 1322 Walnut"

"Jack what's going on?" Daniel demanded

"I found out where he lives"

"What? How?"

Jack gave a humorless chuckle "I just did, ok? Have Mark help you. He's a cop. 1322 Walnut" and with that he hung up.

Daniel sighed "Hey Mark? Jack has a lead!"


"Alex Nicodel" Mark announced triumphly

Jacob stared at the screen "That can't be right"

"Why?" Daniel asked confused.

Jacob rubbed his forehead "because Alex Nicodel is dead".

"Maybe someone lives there now" someone suggested.

Jacob shook his head "It was partially burnt down 10 years ago or so"

"How do you know that Dad?" Mark asked.

"I knew him briefly, He stayed with me for a couple of days after the fire"

"A relative perhaps?" Teal'c suggested.

Jacob shook his head "no family"

Mark shook his head "well I'm going to go check it out"

"Jack didn't want-" Daniel began when Mark turned and gave him a whithering glance.

Daniel wisely shut up.

"umm Murray, you and Daniel come with me. Dad, can you-"

"I'm coming son" Jacob said standing up.

Mark looked at him for a second then nodded


Carter groaned. She had a killer headache and she was thirsty and to add to that her lip was bleeding.

John walked in "you little witch" he said softly

She looked at him "what?"

"You lied. How clever darlin', I really believed you"

She rolled her eyes "well, that shows how gullible the human race is"

His eyes narrowed "I'd tred carefully if I was you"

"whatchayou gonna do? shoot me?"

He shrugged "I could turn Teal'c over to Baal"

She shrugged.


Jack crept closer quietly. Voices were coming from what seemed to be the basement. He crept closer
"It's all arranged m'dear" John said suddenly.

"What is?"she asked suspiciously.

He smiled "why your release, of course"

She stared at him "you're going to let me go?"she asked incredously.

He shook his head "no"


Jack opened the trap door he had found and decended into the unknown.
She stared at him "They are not going to give you SEVEN million dollars and let you walk off with me"

"I'm sure loverboy will talk them into it" he said with a sneer.

She started "Jack? he's alive?"

He clenched his fists "No"

"You just said-"

"I lied"

Sam looked at him carefully "I don't believe you"

He gave a sarcastic smile "you dream, you dream"

She opened her mouth when the floor above John gave way...
