General Landry had been debriefed by Area 51. He had been informed that Dr. Jackson had confiscated a Hat'ak, several amounts of Naquadah and had zatted several personnel. Landry was livid and concerned at the same time.

"HE DID WHAT?"

General Landry had assembled SG1, less Vala and Daniel into the conference room. Jack was the most vocal.

"You heard me Jack. Our good Dr. Jackson is in serious trouble by the IOA and Woosley smells blood in the water. After what he did her at SGC and stealing a ship and confiscated Naquadah, he is now on the IOA wanted list and they shoot and ask questions later. I had to convince the President that he's been under a lot of stress and allow us to retrieve him ourselves."

Jack was still stunned at Daniel's actions.

"HE DID WHAT?"

"Jack, will you stop it. There's a good chance that Dr. Jackson would be arrested and sentenced to life, and Vala Mol Doran and their daughter could be detained to Area 51 under constant IOA probing." General Landry was fast getting his point across to SG1.

"Sir, I know that Daniel is just frustrated that his daughter and wife have been kidnapped by Ba'al. And I can't say I can blame him. But this is not all Daniel's fault. Ba'al infiltrated SGC on his own and took one of our own, which includes Eshera."

"Go on Col Carter." Stated Landry, as the rest of her team waited to hear her out.

"What worries me is that Ba'al now has Vala and Eshera and obviously has some plan to use them both. Daniel wanted to spare us from being involved at whatever he's planning and I'm worried from them all. I believe if he doesn't get back Vala or his daughter alive, there's no way he's coming back."

Jack, Mitchell and Teal'c as well as Landry was stunned at Sam's revelation. They didn't want to believe Daniel just went rogue to rescue his family, but the threat was real.

"I believe Col Carter to be correct General Landry. If I was in the same position, there would be no galaxy large enough to hunt Ba'al down and destroy him." Teal'c was being blunt and was behind his friends actions.

"So what do we do Hank? Sit around and wait for Woosley to make a move or we try and find Daniel and his family? Asked Jack frustrated.

"You have a go Jack to do everything possible to find Dr. Jackson and his family. But I warn you, the President has also given Woosley whatever means possible to bring Dr. Jackson back, with or without his family. The fact that we had Ba'al and lost him didn't sit well with the President. So you better get results and find him Jack; fast. SG1 dismissed."

Grabbing their gear Jack had already guessed at where he might go. The Prometheus would pick them all up off world. "Space Monkey is no fool. He's going to need help and the Naquadah I bet is bait and an incentive."

"You mean the Lucian Alliance O'Neill."

"Yeah Teal'c. It's the most illogical, logical way to go after Ba'al."

Mitchell interjected. "You mean my enemy of my enemy is my friend sort of thing?"

"Exactly." Smiled Jack. "And if I know Danny boy, he's going to make it very interesting and get himself into trouble."

"Sir, our Intel tells us where the last location of the Alliance may be. But finding Daniel with them is………..is just crazy Sir." Said Sam.

"Look around Sam. Look what Daniel has already done to us and now going after Ba'al with a stolen ship and an ungodly amount of Naquadah. I say crazy, is his nickname right now."

"It does not matter O'Neill. Daniel Jackson and his family are my family. I will do everything in my power to help him find my adopted sister and their daughter. If they are harmed in any way, then Ba'al and those who side with him will deal with me." They had seen Teal'c in revenge mode before, but this was different for them. They all agreed to get back Daniel and his family or not come back at all.

As General Landry watched SG1 go thru the Stargate. He couldn't help wonder if he would ever see them all again. Something foreboding was in the air. He couldn't put his finger on it, and Woosley didn't seem to be much of a threat. He had handled him before and the President at least gave SG1 time to redeem themselves after saving the earth so many times. But he couldn't help feel that the chain of actions that have already happened were preceding another disaster.
