In the morning, Daniel woke up by the smell of fresh coffee. He kissed me on the forehead once again and got off the bed slowly. He slowly tip-toed downstairs and peeked into the kitchen. AJ was making breakfast. Daniel cleared his throat and knocked on the doorframe he was standing under to get AJ's attention. AJ turned and said, "Good-Morning Daniel."

Daniel smiled. "Morning."

"Breakfast will be ready soon. Would you like some coffee?"

"Yes. Please." Daniel walked over to the table where AJ was pouring coffee into a mug. Daniel sat down. "Thank You."

"My pleasure." AJ smiled.

Daniel looked up at her. AJ chuckled. She then turned around and got a mug out of the cabinet. She filled it up with coffee and sat at the table across from Daniel. Daniel looked up at her over his mug. AJ was staring at him. Daniel put his mug down. "What? Do I have something on my face?"

"No. I can see a few reasons why Les likes you so much. You're cute, sexy, charming, smart, handsome, intelligent…"

Daniel drank from his mug to hide his blushing cheeks.

AJ got up and made her and Daniel a plate. She sat Daniel's plate in front of him.

Daniel said, "Thank You."

"It's my pleasure."

Daniel looked at her again.

AJ chuckled. "Sorry if I offend you in any way but I've gotta ask. Seeing how handsome you are, I know you've had girlfriends in the past."

"Well…I had a few."

"And?"

"And?"

"What happen to them?"

"Well…it's hard to say. Sarah and I were together for a short time. She left me because my research came between us and I forgot our anniversary since we've been together."

"Oh."

"Yeah. Sha're and I were married for a year."

"What happened?"

Daniel looked down at his plate and sighed. "She was shot and killed last year."

AJ gasped. "I'm sorry Daniel."

"After she died, I sent in my resignation papers in to the military to quit my job. I wanted to get away from everyone. I pushed them away. I didn't see or talk to anyone after the funeral. About 2 weeks after the funeral, Les came over and had a long talk with me. I didn't go back to work until the next month. Les changed my life around by being such a great friend. She's been there for me ever since. And I love her dearly for that."

AJ smiled. "Something like that happened to a friend of mine."

"Oh?" Daniel started eating from his plate.

"His name was Greg Force. He was a Major in the Military years ago. Major Gregory Force. Anyway…he disappeared months ago. No one has seen him since. His latest girlfriend, Lindsey Brown is still looking for him. She hasn't given up on him just yet."

"How?" Daniel then drank his coffee.

"We were double dating one night, Greg, Lindsey, Andrew and I. Greg was talking and a bluish-white light surrounded him."

Daniel chocked on his coffee.

"Daniel?"

Daniel coughed one more time. "Sorry. I'm fine. You were saying…"

"The next thing I know, the chair was empty. I helped search for him. The police assumed he was dead after 2 months so I gave up. Lindsey, however, continues her search for her lost love. There was another witness of another friend of ours disappearing like that. Her name was Beth Huddleston. She disappeared 3 years ago."

"How sad."

"Yeah."

"Um…do you mind if I take a plate up to Les? Gonna try to see if I can wake her up long enough to eat."

"Sure." AJ made the plate and sat it on a tray for Daniel.

Daniel took the plate upstairs on a tray to me. Daniel placed the tray on the side-table and turned on the lamp sitting on it. "Les? Come on. Wake up. It's time to eat."

I groaned and turned my back towards Daniel.

Daniel sat on the edge of the bed. "Les, do you remember a Beth Huddleston and a Greg Force?"

I mumbled, "Mm-hmm."

"I think they've been taken."

I mumbled, "That's nice."

"By the Asgard."

I turned back over and looked at Daniel. "What!"

"You have to eat first and then I'll tell you." Daniel placed the tray in front of me.

I pouted. I picked up the fork and dug in. I finished the whole plate within minutes. "Well?"

"Do you want more to eat?"

"Daniel…"

"AJ told me that a Beth Huddleston and a Greg Force disappeared. She explained that the light was a bluish-white."

"Uh oh. We've gotta tell the SGC."

"Yeah. How?"

"I don't know. I can't go back. I'll be locked up for sure and may get Courts Marshall."

"No. I doubt it. They'll probably blame Lantash for it." Daniel took my tray and sat it back on the side-table.

"Yeah, but most of it isn't Lantash. It's me. It's me wanting to keep Lantash. The SGC will have to accept that I don't wanna give up Lantash."

Daniel smiled.

I looked down at my hands.

"What's wrong?"

"In 12th grade, I told Beth that if I have any children, I wanted her to be the godparent. I guess I'll have to find someone else."

Daniel rubbed my arm. "Get dressed. We have to go find a motel."

"What time is it?"

"Well…it's after 12."

"In the afternoon?"

"Yeah."

"How long have I been sleep?"

"Um…since about 8 last night."

"16 HOURS?"

"Well…you hadn't slept for more than 30 minutes in two days.

"Thanks." I smiled

Daniel smiled. "Well…I'll let you get dressed. I'll be downstairs with AJ."

I looked at Daniel.

"Only to find out what else happened to Beth and Greg."

"Ok."

Daniel picked up the tray, kissed me and left. I got out of the bed, went to the bathroom and started the bath water. About an hour later, I emerged out of the tub. I dried off and got dressed. I walked over to the bed and laid down across it to look up at the ceiling. I started thinking about where Daniel can go to next, somewhere where the SGC won't find us. I closed my eyes and dozed off.
