Daniel was sitting with Nick waiting for Teal'c who had gone on a food run smuggling in non hospital food, Daniel was hoping his glare would see of any nosy nurses or doctors, it worked and soon they were tucking into 5 big Macs Teal'c eating 3 to sustain his massive appetite.
"The doc said I can go back to the home tomorrow" Nick said conversationally
"That's good" Daniel replied pleased the attempt on his life hadn't caused more harm
"So you can leave now" he ordered, Daniel looked to Teal'c
"Actually Nick I have another idea, how would you feel about moving to Colorado Springs" Daniel suggested after briefly discussing it with Hammond
"Why?" Nick asked
"We have a idea, you can work with me and help translate things, I mean you know what 25 languages" Daniel joked but Nick looked hurt
"27 actually" he corrected, Daniel rolled his eyes,
"Well?"
"Why do you want a crazy old man?" Nick asked suspiciously
"Its classified material, who would believe you plus you were actually a good archaeologist until Belize" Daniel told him,
"Like you were until Egypt" Nick shot back at Daniel
"Touché" Daniel said with a smile, Nick looked thoughtful
"What does this job involve?" Nick asked
"Well translating things, maybe a little talking the language, maybe even travelling" Daniel said as descriptive yet cryptically as he could.
"Ok then, it can't be worse than that home" Nick decided with a head nod, Daniel grinned
"Great I will make some calls" Daniel went to the phone calling base he found both Hammond and Janet unavailable but Hammond had left standing orders to have Nicolas Ballard transferred if that is what Daniel decided giving Reynolds the go ahead Daniel was surprised at how fast it happened within 30 minutes they were in a jeep taking them to the airport.
WOW, thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter, I was amazed by the comments, and found them really useful.
