Jack?... Jack!...? Daniel Jackson yelled along the halls of the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. He had gotten a call from Dr. Janet Frasier telling him that Sam had coded and that Jack had lost what little sense he had remaining as he witnessed Sam slipping away. She was able to get Sam stabilized for the moment, but Jack had run off, so at the moment she was concerned about Colonel O'Neill's state of mind. She wanted Daniel to look for Jack and bring him back to the infirmary as soon as possible. She had decided it was best for everyone involved if Daniel searched for Jack on his own. His emotional state required a friend not a couple of armed air men.

...Piece of shit!...What the hell? Daniel sprinted in the general direction that the profanity was coming from.

It was coming from the gate room.

...Stupid...stupid...hunk of junk!... exploring for the good of mankind my ass!...crap!...Oh my God, Jack.'

screamed Daniel, seeing the sight before him as he walked into the gate room. Jack, stop! Poor Daniel's request fell upon deaf ears. Jack continued to scream and physically hurt himself on the gate. Daniel ran up the ramp and tried to pull Jack back. Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, come on, stop!Get away from me! Jack said, while pushing Daniel away. Daniel stumbled backwards and noticed that Jack was bleeding from his arms and even his head, but it was the tears streaming down his face that caught Daniel's attention.

Jack, no, come on. Get away from the Stargate! Stop! ...Stop hurting your self! Daniel said as he tried to grab Jack by the waist again to pull him away. Only Jack was to strong for Daniel to manage on his own. Jack put all his weight on Daniel purposely causing Daniel to fall backwards on the ramp.

No, you don't get it, do you? I don't care... You don't understand, this piece of shit killed her... he punched the gate for emphasis, ...I killed her!...I-I...I Killed her, Danny... Jack sobbed at Daniel.

Jack, Sam's not dead, you didn't kill her! No one- nothing did. Just stop hurting yourself, please, Jack, it won't help.You're lying! Jack spat at Daniel

No, im not. Why would I do that? She's not dead, Jack.

Suddenly Jack fell to his knees, crying. It hurts, Jack whispered. Daniel slowly crawled towards Jack, his face was now in his hands. He was shaking violently. Daniel was no medic, but he knew enough to to know that Jack had gone into shock. Daniel stretched out a hand and gently touched Jack's shoulder and was surprised that Jack did not pull away.

I know it hurts, I do, Jack, Daniel whispered. Slowly he began to hold a devastated Jack in his arms and he could no longer hold back his own tears towards his friend. Daniel could remember a time when the tables were turned and he was the one in Jack's arms crying uncontrollably, but that was a completely different scenario. Although the friendship that they both demonstrated to each other was one in the same.

Oh God, Daniel.It's all right.I... I-I don't want to lose her...I--... Jack's words were barely coherent though his sobs, but Daniel understood what his friend was feeling. They all cared deeply for Sam, but Jack, well his feelings were stronger, and Daniel had a strong gut feeling it went above and beyond the lines of friendship.

I know, Jack. Trust me, I know.I don't want her to die because of me.It's not your fault, she's not going to die. Sam's strong, Jack. She'll pull through, we just have to be strong as well, we have to be here for her. Daniel knew that Jack had not heard a single word that had come out of his mouth, and he didn't care. At the moment all Jack needed was comfort; a friend. And if that was what he needed to get him through all this, then damn it, Daniel was more than happy to give it to him. I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting, but I can cry with you and help you through this. Daniel hugged Jack and rocked him back and forth, the infirmary could wait for now. They both need this, so they just sat there under the stargate, and cried.
