Why This Must Be Read:
A great story of team and friendship focusing on Jack and Daniel. After Jack finds Daniel's car on the side of the road in a snow storm, Jack becomes protective and wants to help his team mate through a tough time.
The fact that it may not have been an accident, only adds to Jack's worries.
Just a great story!
Jack crept along the snow blown road. Visibility was down to about six inches past the end of the Avalanche and it didn’t seem like the road had been plowed for a while. He was struck by the thought that he probably should have stayed at the mountain instead of risking the treacherous roads but he wanted to sleep in his own bed tonight. He was among the last non-essential worker to leave the mountain.
As he felt the rear of the Avalanche slip in the snow, he started wishing that he’d not only stayed put but that he’d made Daniel as well instead of chasing him home a couple of hours ago. It wasn’t that he doubted his friend’s driving ability. It was just that he didn’t think Daniel had much experience driving in snow like this – especially after spending the last year in the desert on Abydos. At least Carter had had the good sense to leave before the roads started to get too bad.
His headlights picked out a partially snow-covered lump on the side of the road and he slowed down even further to see what it was. When he got alongside it, he could barely make out through the darkness that it was a snow-covered vehicle cherry red in color and, from the general shape, looked to be a Jeep. He cursed softly under his breath. There was only one person he knew who’d be heading in this direction from the mountain who drove a red Jeep – Daniel. He had a bad feeling his worry was about to come to fruition.
He came to a complete stop, flipping on his hazard lights although he was sure there wouldn’t be many…or any…cars on the road. He pulled his woolen hat down almost to his eyes, flipped up the hood of his coat, and pulled his gloves on as he exited the vehicle. He jogged as best as he could through the blowing and drifting snow to the Jeep.
He scraped snow off the driver’s side window and peered in. When he saw the driver, he didn’t even bother with a curse and started pulling on the door instead. Thankfully, Daniel hadn’t locked it and it hadn’t frozen shut so he was able to get it open easily.
Once the door was open, the dome light in the Jeep came on and he was able to get a better look inside. Daniel was slumped over the steering wheel, a trickle of blood coming from his forehead.
