"I hope you don't plan on them staying to long. I got a bad feeling from them," Jim said as he drove. Blair gave him an odd look, "is it a sense thing?" Jim shook his head and looked in the review mirror at the car following them. "I'm sure it'll be okay and I can get the scoop from Daniel." Blair slouched a little in the seat and stifled a yawn. Jim couldn't help smiling for a moment then he got serious. "First you rest, then we'll see, and be careful he doesn't get the scoop on us." Blair nodded and thought back to when Jim's secret had gotten out. He had nearly thrown away everything to hide it again. Then there was the trouble of going further and trying to erase everything that could be found, as if it didn't happen. They soon arrived at the loft and put an end to Blair's thoughts.
"Do you think it wise to stay with these people?" Teal'c asked once they got back into the car. "I don't know buddy, but we'll find out" Jack replied. "It'll be okay, I know Blair, everything will be fine," Daniel said from the back seat. They all turned to look at him. "What?" he asked. "Knowing you this could mean trouble," Sam said mockingly. Just then they pulled into another parking garage. "Looks like it's show time all," Jack announced and pulled into a visitor parking space.
Daniel's friend Blair was eager to help unpack while his partner Jim was a bit standoffish. Before they went inside the loft Jim laid down the usual ground rules. Once inside they all worked together to set up the sleeping places, then Jim started breakfast. Soon they were all eating a healthy portion of pancakes. "This is nice, thank you very much for letting us stay," Daniel said getting his second helping as was Blair. Jim just nodded and shifted his gaze back and forth between the two friends. "I'll see you latter, he got up and took his plate to the kitchen before going upstairs. Jack got up when Jim left "I'll be right back," as he took his cell phone and went into the hall to call Hammond. "I'll clean up," Sam offered and began collecting dishes. Teal'c helped her carry them to the kitchen. "Daniel and his friend are very much alike and so are Jack and the detective," Sam began filling the sink. Teal'c nodded "it would appear so. But there is more, the detective has been acting odd has he not?" Sam thought about this as Daniel and Blair brought in their dishes, then Blair was pulling Daniel away to have a private talk.
Jim heard Jack step out and dialed his hearing up to listen to his phone call. He knew Blair wouldn't like it, but he wanted to make sure everything was on the level. Meanwhile Jack leaned back on the door as Hammond picked up on the opposite end. "Did you find him?" the general asked first. "Yes sir, he was in isolation so I don't think they know anything. The antidote worked but he's still under investigation for the robbery at the university." There was a short pause as Hammond shuffled for paper. "Tell me what hotel you're staying at so I can send a lawyer." Jack knew this was the hard part of the conversation. "We're staying at the lead detective's house," he said quickly. "You're what?" Hammond yelled into the phone. "The guy's partner is an old friend of Daniels and invited us to stay. We are only here for awhile and we can at least get an idea of who were working with. Maybe get things done faster this way sir." Jack was thinking up excuses Sam would be proud of when Hammond interrupted. "Fine, but I don't like it, just do what you have to," then he hung up. Jack was relieved and went back inside to get some rest.
Blair's room was a mess, but it reminded Daniel of old times. "Sorry about the mess," Blair said while clearing a place for Daniel to sit. Looking around at the clutter of books, papers, and amazing artifacts Daniel spied the book he'd given Blair a long time ago. "You still have this thing?" Daniel picked it up and sitting in the cleared out spot faced the book toward him. "Yeah it was a major part of my life," Blair said as he sat next to Daniel. "Do you remember we would go on little quests searching for them all the time," Daniel waved his hand over the title reading Sentinels of Paraguay under his breath. "I searched until a few years ago," Blair said lost in thought before the funny look from Daniel made him realize what he'd said. "I gave up though, that long of searching I figured I'd never find anything. If I recall correctly we spent lots of time searching for your pyramid builders, are you still looking?" Daniel laughed, "yeah that was a great time, I stopped looking too, but I also still have the book you gave me." They sat in silence for a moment before Daniel yawned. "I'd better go so we can both rest for later on." Blair nodded and watched as Daniel went out to the others to sleep.
