Chapter Five

Visions ofFriends in Danger

"In a hurry to get home?" asks Jack knowingly as Daniel rushes through the shower after briefing and med checks.

"Yeah," Daniel nods. "Ali was off on another of her interrupt the night with whatever it is she does at night when she's not sleeping or with me. I have plans for tonight."

"That's good," Jack smiles. He was glad Daniel and Ali had found each other. Aliana had come into their lives soon after Daniel had come back to life. She had been working for the SGC since just after he had died, and was accounted to have a level head on her shoulders. She was actually one of the few civilians that went through the same orientation program that the military personnel went through. It had taken her very little time to become one of the best translators of the odder languages. Jack wasn't quite sure how the two had begun dating but it had started fairly quickly.

"See ya," Daniel waves as he zooms out of the locker room, bumping into Sam on the way out. He barely apologizes before he's on the elevator going to the parking lot.

"Why's he in such a rush?" Sam asks.

"He's anxious to see Ali," Jack replies. "Said she was gone on another of her night things when we left."

"Oh, shit," swears Sam. "This is not good."

"Major, what's not good?" Jack demands.

"Ali, she's not exactly on a night trip," Sam swears softly under breath.

"What do you mean?" Jack demands. "Explain yourself Major."

"Um, she's in a little more danger than she usually is," Sam says. "Her brother called her from wherever he lives, and asked her to come down and visit. She said it wouldn't be too dangerous but she left her will on Daniel's desk at his home."

"It's not too dangerous, but she's leaving her will out," Jack repeats. "Do you know what she's doing?"

"Not really, she wouldn't answer any of my questions," Sam replies. "I'm going to kill that girl."

"Why not?" asks Jack.

"She just replied classified," Sam shakes her head. "I'm going to get a hand device out and torture her with an inch of her life, and then stick her in a sarcophagus then…"

"I get the point Major," Jack breaks in. "Why is it classified?"

"Because she feels if she involves us, we'll get killed," Sam replies.

"Do you have a general idea of what she will be facing?" Jack asks.

"General yes," Sam nods. "Particulars, not really."

"Is she likely to die?" Jack asks.

"Yup," Sam shrugs.

"What's she fighting?" Jack asks.

"A war I'm not at liberty to discuss," Sam states. "Both from the military standpoint and in agreement of her opinions."

"She doesn't want us to know about her war?" Jack asks.

"Most the people who got involved in the war through the years have been killed," Sam states. "She likes us too much to involve us in it."

"That's a fact of life with us," Jack frowns.

"She doesn't have the time to train us on the only effective weapons that she uses. I've seen her fight, it's not pretty," Sam replies.

Daniel reaches home after checking with the gate to see if Aliana had come in to work that day. He is told she is on a personal leave of absence. He grabs the mail then walks into his study, planning to call her house. He drops the mail on his desk, and almost misses the note with his name written on it in Aliana's clear neat hand.

My dearest Daniel

I'm afraid that my past has caught up with me. I have to go out of town for a while. I love you so much. Don't ever doubt it. I had hoped never to do this, but my brother and Uncle are in need of my aid. I hope I return to you, but if I don't my Will is beneath this note. Sam knows what to do. I love you, Aliana Jennifer Jameson

Daniel shakily puts down the note and sinks into the chair. This wasn't like Ali. She had never left that kind of note before. And she definitely had never left her will. She sounded like she was pretty sure she would die. He wonders what she meant by a brother and uncle. She had never told him about any family, claiming to be an orphan. He pounds his fists into the desk angrily. Had she told him the truth about anything? Moreover, why did Sam know about things he didn't? She usually told him everything. He sighs as the pain in his hands brings him back to reality. It probably related to the night stuff she did occasionally. She had told him at the beginning of their relationship that she would occasionally disappear for a night or two. She usually came back with a satisfied expression and covered in blood. He knew because sometimes he was at her place, feeding her fish. They had boned over fish. Both had large saltwater tanks. Once every six months she'd disappear for an entire weekend, though usually she came back cheerful, rather than satisfied from those excursions. Sighing, he dials Sam's number.

"Daniel?" Sam asks. "I can't tell you where Aliana is you know."

"Why not?" demands Daniel.

"I don't know, she didn't tell me," Sam replies. "Don't worry though. She's tough. She's rather difficult to kill."

"So there is a chance that she'll die?" Daniel asks. "How will we know if she dies?"

"She said her uncle or brother would tell us," Sam replies. "She's survived a lot. No reason to think she'd die at this. Why don't you come over for dinner? She made me promise to keep you healthy."

"Why'd she have to leave and not tell me?" Daniel sighs sadly. Sam's heart goes out to him. He'd been through so much with his various loves. She had hoped it would stay at the level of minor vampire killings and Aliana could stay with Daniel. She knew it was probably ripping Ali apart not being able to tell Daniel what she is. Daniel would be proud of her.

"She loves you," Sam says softly. "She loves you so much that she doesn't want you to die. Come to dinner with me."

"Fine," Daniel sighs. "See you in a half hour?"

"That's fine," Sam replies. "I'll see you then."
