A/N: Welcome to chapter two of 'Fatherly Problems', I hope you have enjoyed the first chapter, and will continue to enjoy those to come. Did you catch my Gilligan reference in Chapter One? HINT: It was in the Author's Note…;)
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell had left the base as soon as he could to get to his new assignment. This was something that he had absolutely no interest in…babysitting some teenagers that belonged to original members of SG-1. However, perhaps it was a chance to get onto their good side.
Not like he wasn't already on their good side after leading a fleet of X-302s in protection over Antarctica when Anubis's fleet attacked. But now he just felt young and inexperienced around everyone at Stargate Command.
Soon, he arrived at the high school in question and approached the principal to tell her who he was. Once the whole 'my reason for being here is highly classified' thing was over, she probably thought that someone related to the president was there or something.
Approaching the class where the two of them where at the moment, Chemistry Lab, he peered inside discreetly. Then he took up position in a chair outside the door to listen to the rest of class and watch from the outside.
Once the class was over with, the kids went back to their homerooms. Thankfully for Cameron, they were in the same class so it wasn't really hard to watch both Alex and Junior at the same time.
The difficulty, instead, came later. After school, the two teens left together in Junior's car that he received from the government. If he was anything like the original Jack O'Neill, then Cameron would have a hard time tailing him.
Once they started going down the road, it wasn't too bad. Mitchell remained about two cars back and remained unnoticed.
At the movie, the two teens sat in the middle of the theater, next to each other. Cameron sat a few rows above them to get a good view; not of the movie, but Junior and Alex.
About halfway through the movie, Alex got up and walked out, after seeming to tell Junior she'd be right back. Jack Jr. seemed please with himself as he sat back in his seat and continued to watch the movie.
Half an hour later, Jack arose and left the room, with Cameron close on his tail. Both of them were worried about Alex, who hadn't arrived back to her seat.
Darn it, I've lost one! Mitchell thought frantically, trying to remain calm on the outside.
He walked up to Jack, "Excuse me, is somethin' wrong?"
"My girlfriend sure is taking a long time in the bathroom", Jack sighed, knowing that he wouldn't be allowed in there himself.
After talking with Jack for a moment, Cameron walked over towards the snack counter and asked if the woman working there could go check in the bathroom. Afraid he'd have to show some sort of ID, he was relieved when the woman finally agreed.
Coming out of the bathroom soon after, the woman shook her head, indicating that there was no one in there. Cameron felt like breaking his cover, and talking to Jack Jr. in private, but soon the teen had walked off with his cell. The Lt. Colonel did the same, calling the base.
"This is Lt. Colonel Mitchell, I need to speak with Major General O'Neill", Cameron said softly into the phone.
Once the older Jack picked up, Cameron sighed, "Sir, we have a problem."
"You're on speaker with Daniel and I, go ahead, Mitchell", Jack ordered, making Cameron cringe almost that he was called by his first name like the general's long time friend.
"Well, sirs," Cameron paused briefly, trying to put it to words, "it does seem that I have lost one of people."
"You're right, that is a problem…", Jack began, only to get off by Daniel.
Daniel sounded angry and worried at the same time, "WHO?"
"Sirs, it seems Alex was abducted."
