8After Sacrifices:

C1 'Daniel's Disappearance'

A/N: This fiction takes place after the eighth show in season 8 called Sacrifices. As we all know in Sacrifices, they left off with Teal'c's son getting married, and Teal'c saying goodbye to his friend as she left through the gate. You will remember that Sam and Daniel were very chummy.

SGC

Daniel had just driven into the opening to the SGC as he noticed that Sam had pulled up behind him.

Daniel got out of his vehicle and went to Sam. "The whole way here I kept looking around like I was back in one of those training things you guys made me do years ago. I have no idea why, but I feel like something is going to happen to me. There was one car that I kept watching, and I thought it was following me. Then I pulled over, and it kept going…Strange."

Sam determined she would not try to worry Daniel, but tell Jack about it so they could keep an eye on him incase the 'Trust' was after him. "Maybe you should stay on base for a couple of days just in case. I'll have the guys look over surveillance and see if there is anything suspicious." They walked into the SGC talking about the latest in their lives and the subject turned to Jack.

"So, Sam, have you heard anything lately on Jack's young clone?" Daniel saw Sam had an unusual look on her face. "You know the one that had been put in his place so they could study Jack?" Daniel fixed his glasses as they entered the second elevator.

"Yes, I got an email from him saying he got all A's this semester. Oh, and he said to tell Jack that he watched the latest Star Trek movie Nemesis and thought of him." Sam started laughing remembering that in the movie the nemesis of Jean Luc Picard was his clone that was a lot younger than him.

Daniel remembered the email Sam sent to him about the movie and got the joke. "Does Jack and Jack junior his personal 'mini me' that was made by Thor's 'little problem' ever talk to each other?"

"No, they both told me that it would be too weird to talk to themselves. Oh, Jack junior did end the email, "Bye baby pie" I wonder what that's about?" Sam straightened her smile as Jack greeted them at the door of the elevator as they stepped off.

"Hey, I have something for you guys to check out." Jack squinted. "What's going on?"

Sam smiled again, "Your nemesis says hi. Oh, sorry I mean little Jack. He said he watched Star Trek Nemesis and thought of you." Sam waited for Daniel to leave the room before she told Jack about Daniel's strange feelings.

The Gate Room

Three hours later, Sam was walking up the ramp following Teal'c and Daniel into the horizon of the wormhole the Stargate creates. She paused and looked back at the General standing by the doors. Sam thought about how she wished he could go with them. The anxious look on his face told her that he wished he could go too. She waved to him remembering the night they spend together and stepped through the blue watery liquid.

Jack signed a few forms then turned to leave. To his shock, the gate started to be activated again.

"Incoming wormhole, it's ummm SG1." The control room worker said.

Jack looked up at the woman in the control room, "Well, open the iris and let them back in!"

To Jack's dismay, only Teal'c and Sam appeared on the ramp. They were not conscious, but it had looked as if they fell out of the gate. Both of them rolled slightly and stopped. Jack ran to them and tried to wake Teal'c then Sam.

Teal'c and Sam opened their eyes as Jack yelled, "Get the doc! Teal'c, Sam where is Daniel?"

Sam gazed around in a fog, "The light took him, some bright light. Then Teal'c and I fell asleep almost instantly. How long have we been gone?"

Jack helped her stand, "Only five minutes. Are you hurt?"

They shook their heads no.

"Can you remember anything else?"

Teal'c and Sam answered as one, "No."

Jack ran to the control room. Recently, feelings of being accountable for every detail had been flooding Jack as he adjusted to being the Stargate General. He was afraid that Daniel would be lost if he did not get to him soon. They had lost or misplaced him and others so many times that he was starting to feel that they had lost him for good as this planet they checked out was in an area they had not explored before. "Dial the gate. Send a probe through."

Sam and Teal'c entered the control room as the doctor and nurses were checking to see if they were ok. Jack got annoyed in is worry, "Both of you go to the infirmary, I'll let you know what I find. He better not be ascending again."

Sam nodded her head then paused at the door, "The light was just as bright as the sun. I remember Daniel being lifted off his feet, but I don't think he was ascending again. It didn't look like it to me though there was bright light."

Jack lingered staring into her eyes, "Let's hope not, I don't want to loose him again, but what else could have happened? Wait. You said he was feeling strange like he was being stalked. Damn it! I should never have let him go."

A/N: What else could have happened, indeed? Teal'c would have said that.

Who took Daniel? Was he being followed to start with? Maybe I took him, lol, or was it you?
