Chapter Seventeen: Missing Again

Daniel was franticly pacing his bedroom, desperate to know what the hell was going on and how someone could have taken Jack without the queen knowing about it. There was nothing that woman missed which meant to Daniel that she knew and had allowed it but won't tell Daniel about whatever is going on or Jack ran off with Damnation.

He couldn't believe that he'd let his jealousy leak out and hurt Jack, he knew there was no way Damnation and Jack would be together but it was there screaming in the back of Daniel's mind.

"Daniel, Jack is going to be fine. Zarkina is on it!" Sam said as she leaned against the doorframe of Daniel's bedroom.

"It's either him being kidnapped or me being stepped on by a large creature made by mad scientists. We have children on the way and I have no idea how we are going to have any semblance of a normal life and not end up leaving those children alone."

Sam walked over to Daniel, stopped him with a gentle hand and pulled him into a hug. Then another person darkened the door way and Daniel looked up to find Damnation standing there.

"What are you doing here? I was sure you had taken my husband away from me!" Daniel was sorry about the words the second they were out of his mouth. This wasn't Damnation's fault; otherwise the man wouldn't be here to reassure Daniel. He was just letting his jealousy eat away at him even as his fear choked him. He tightened his arms around Sam's comforting form. She rubbed his back gently

"Daniel, I could never take Jack away from you. He loves you, I am just letting you know, I am taking the search to the mainland. Nadio, a representative from the mainland wanted one of your team to pretend to be a Zarcorp prisoner for some time and I would guess that is what happened to Jack. I will bring him home to you Daniel, in one piece."

Daniel nodded, fear choking him once more as the younger man walked away from Daniel and Sam. He stayed tucked against Sam's shoulder, shuddering in fear. If the man wanted a fake prisoner, why not tell anyone about it? Daniel could guess that Zarkina refused the man's request and took Jack anyway, this time against his will.

He just hoped the fake kidnapping turned real wouldn't lead to the 'fake prisoner' turn into real torture and no return. Daniel pulled away from Sam, "I need to go speak to Desire and Lust, let them know what's going on."

"They probably already know Daniel, it's the gossip right now," Sam responded even as she released Daniel.

"I can't just sit in our bedroom, worrying about him. I'll go mad if I do that and we can't afford two of us being gone. He needs me to be strong for those girls and for when he gets home."

Sam nodded and Daniel slipped out of his room and the apartment, walking down the hall to where the twins were rooming at the moment because they were pregnant with Jack and Daniel's children.

He knocked and slipped in to find them sitting on a small couch together. Daniel could already see a small swelling on their stomachs. Daniel leaned down to kiss each of them gently, "You've heard about Jack I assume?"

"Yes of course," Desire responded, "I have been using the connection between our child and Jack to make sure he is alive. So far Jack is annoyed at being away from you Daniel, he worries for you so I am guessing that he's just fine."

Daniel breathed a sigh of relief, the air whooshing out of his lungs quickly. Jack was unharmed for now. They had a way to keep in contact with him, even on such a simple level. He felt the unbearable urge to cry thinking about Jack worrying about Daniel instead of himself.

"Thank you Desire," Daniel said as he sat down next to them. He had a little time before his next class and he felt this was where he should be, with his family. He settled against the cushions and prayed for Jack's safe and speedy return.

Jack leaned against the wall behind his simple cot, missing the large bed Daniel and he shared at home. There was nothing for him to do besides think of his beautiful husband and hope that he was okay, he hoped that Desire and Lust were okay despite this newest development. They would have a genetic claim on the children and if anything happened to Jack they would be forced to take the child that they never wanted for themselves. He didn't want Daniel to be burdened with two children alone and Jack tried to push the thoughts out of his head since he was still supposed to be a 'fake' prisoner.

"Now Outsider, you are going to tell us where you came from so we can report back to our boss," someone was speaking as he walked into the outer cell. Jack looked up to find Nadio the man who took him.

"Why would I give you anything, you stupid son of a bitch? You had your chance to get our help and you screwed yourself! So enjoy it."

Nadio smiled, "As you were taken from the island, they are going to be here soon. Akina isn't going to let me get away with this. I need you to give me something to give to Zarranth otherwise my cover is going to be blown."

Jack stood up and walked towards the bars, "You want some information?"

Nadio nodded.

"Go screw yourself! Because of you, my husband thinks I was cheating and maybe he thinks I ran away with someone else!"

"You are married to a man?" Nadio asked with a shudder.

"You got a problem with that?" Jack demanded.

Nadio stared Jack down, but the Colonel had been staring down military Generals for a good portion of his career, this little twit didn't scare him in the slightest. He wasn't embarrassed by the love of his life, he was proud to call Daniel his and this man wasn't going accomplish anything by trying.

"I asked you a question?" Jack demanded.

Nadio shrugged, "I asked you a question too."

"At the moment, you need to give me a reason to speak. I have a very sore jaw and I am away from the man I love because of you."

Nadio sighed in annoyance and slumped back against the wall, far enough that Jack wouldn't be able to touch him. Jack shrugged, sad he wasn't going to get a chance to beat the crap out of the guy.

"You are a warrior from your time, yes?" Nadio asked.

Jack nodded.

"Doesn't it go against your nature as a warrior to be with a man?"

"It did but I realized soon that he was more important than believe I was a straight man. I am lucky to love such a person as Daniel Jackson and I am doubly blessed that he loves me back. If you have a problem with my life then that's too bad for you. Who do you have waiting at home for you?"

Nadio shrugged, "I used to have someone but I lost her."

"Well I have been given a chance to love the person that I care more about, I hope someday you can find the same but until then don't you dare think you know anything about me or my husband!"

Nadio held his hands up in surrender, "You're right. Now please lets make this worth it please?"

Jack sighed, "What do you want to know? We didn't come here on purpose, we were kidnapped and hurt by Zarcorp's people so we feel safer with Zarkina and the Vannas."

"Where did you come from?"

"Here, earth from the year 2001."

Nadio continued to watch him, "How?"

"Yup, we were transported accidently through time by a device we called the Stargate. We are stuck here and there is nothing we can give this Zarranth. You keeping me here will not change that."

There was a knock on the door and another man walked into the room. Nadio immediately stood at attention and Jack was sure all of a sudden that he was getting his first glimpse of the man that made Zarkina's people so scared to live freely.

"Nadio, you are being referred back to the city, I will be taking the interrogation from here."

"Yes sir," Nadio said and left without a backwards glance. Jack hoped that when Zarkina found that little douche bag she punched him multiple times. He focused on the man in front of him, seeing the evil glee in his brown eyes and the inherent violence in him. Jack wondered how many of this man's interrogations ended in the prisoner dying.

"Now, I am pleased to finally have a chance to get some answers from you. The witch queen has done a lot to keep you out of my hands, so you must be important somehow."

Jack shrugged and settled back onto his cot again, he had no reason to make this easy for the enemy. Jack just hoped he would have a chance to tell Daniel one more time that he loved him so much he could barely stand it most days.
