Saturday-Mid-Day

"I can't believe we didn't think of this before." Janet said as she and Daniel searched Sam's house.

"Well considering the fact that we've been here..." Daniel looked at his watch. "...for half an hour and found absolutely nothing I'd say we shouldn't kick ourselves too hard."

"Have you checked the answering machine?" Janet asked. They'd started in the kitchen, gone over the house lightly, circled back, and were currently going over it a second time more thoroughly.

"I thought you did it?" Daniel sifted through Sam's mail.

Janet pressed the 'Play All' button.

'Hi Sam it's Daniel, I don't know if you've left for work yet...um...well...you probably have... knowing my luck... but I was just think...'

Janet smiled at looked at Daniel who seemed to be trying very hard not to look embarassed. It wasn't working.

'Hi Sam, me again." Daniel talked much faster this time.'I think you're machine cut me off. What I was saying was that I need those papers I gave you okay? Thanks.'

'Sam it's Pete. Just calling to remind you to be home tonight. We really need to have that talk okay? Love you.'

Daniel and Janet exchanged looks.

'Mr.Shanahan, pick up the phone please. Ineed to speak to you about Major Car...'

The message ended abruptly.

Janet looked at Daniel. "Somebody called Pete here...what?" She asked, seeing the look on Daniel's face.

"That was Agent Barrett's voice." Daniel said perplexed.

Janet's eyes widened. "As in Sam's NID informant Agent Barrett?"

"We have to talk to Pete." Daniel said.

"I'm ready" Janet volunteered.

Daniel's cell rang. "Hello"

"Daniel Jackson"

"Teal'c"

"They have not used thier credit cards"

Daniel started to speak but Teal'c continued.

"However we have located Colonel O'Neill's truck."

Daniel caught Janet's eye and she stood silently, hoping for some hint as to what was happening.

"Where?" Daniel asked looking at Janet.

"It was discovered outside a grocery store. I believe it was most likely abandoned sometime last night. I intend to keep looking."

"Good." Daniel said. "Janet and I are going to look into something we found."

"Have you discovered something?" Teal'c asked.

"Yeah, apparently Agent Barrett called Sam's house last night."

"If Agent Barrett has not contacted the SGC it may be unwise to seek him out. He may be under surveilence."

"That's a good point Teal'c, I hadn't thought of that. But we're actually going to find Pete. Sam wasn't home last night and we think he picked up the phone."

"But what would Agent Barrett tell Pete Shanahan?" Teal'c asked. "It is unlikely he would reveal anything to someone who is not SGC."

"I know." Daniel agreed. "But he told him something."

"Then I will permit you to return to your search."

"Okay. Thanks for letting me know." Daniel hung up and finally answered Janet's questioning stare. "They found Jack's truck."

"Where?"

"'Grocery store parking lot. Teal'c's following it up." Daniel pocketed his cell phone and fished out his car keys. "He thinks they left it last night."

"Daniel?" Janet looked troubled.

"What?"

"Are you sure we're doing the right thing? If they don't want to be found..."

"Janet, they dissapeared in the middle of the night with no warning. We can't just trust thier judgement and hope their okay. We have to find out what happened."

Janet nodded. "You're right."

Daniel gestured toward the door. "After you."
