Warnings: implied Character Death, angst
Author's Notes: Jack/Daniel pairing if you squint, or just friendship. Really sorry for this one, guys. Blame the bunnies
Special thanks to my wonderful Beta, Neoinean, who made this story readable.
Jack sighed, and scratched his chin one more time. He would never get used to all this facial hair. He looked out the window again. The sun was setting. They would come for him soon.
Right?
Carter was the first one in. Her eyes round in shock, her mouth open, her gun raised. Jack flinched at the coldness in her eyes.
Teal'c was second. Jack couldn't figure out if he wanted to cry out of joy or anger when all he did was raise an eyebrow.
Daniel. Jack tried to call out, and started moving towards him. There was a loud sound near his ear, then blackness.
"Come on, Daniel. Let's go. We need to find the Colonel, remember?"
"Yeah, yeah. Coming, Sam."
Daniel poked the beast one more time with his sidearm, then turned around and walked out of the abandoned ruins of the castle.
Later, he would think about how familiar those brown eyes had been, but he shrugged it off. They had more important things to do.
Daniel sighed, rubbed his eyes, and focused once more on the pages before him.
Jack was missing in action, and nothing was more important than getting his best friend back.
