βακÏίδα (Maenad)
There was no question of Daniel taking a watch, obviously. Tealâc stayed vigilant at the door, facing out. Carter slept the sleep of the wickedly stoned, over in the corner, and so far as Jack could tell Iphigenia and her brother followed suit after about an hour or so.
And Jack was getting tired. Heâd been running on the ragged edge before the dust-up; the fading adrenaline was taking the rest of his energy with it. Sleeping wasnât an option. After a silent debate, he checked the medical kit for stimulants, palmed a couple and downed them with instant coffee.
âSure you want to do that?â Daniel asked quietly. He wasnât sleeping, either. And, from what Jack could tell, wasnât likely to.
âNo offense, Daniel, but I donât think either of us wants you awake with access to a sidearm, and by the way â â Jack held out his hand and snapped his fingers. Daniel sighed and pulled his weapon, offered it butt first. âThanks.â
Daniel silently followed with the k-bar knife as well. No reluctance. The momentary burst of violence Jack had seen outside in the moonlight seemed to be totally gone.
âThanks,â he said after a few moments, very quietly. âI donât know â I donât think I can fight this thing.â
âYes you can.â
âJackâ¦â
âYes you can, Daniel. I know you.â
âNo, you donât. You used to know me, a couple of days worth, about a year ago. But you donât know me now.â
âBullshit. Youâre the most stubborn man I ever met, including me.â
âNo.â Daniel banged his head against the wall behind him, eyes closed again. âLook, I admit, I donât know Sam very well, but I know that if character meant anything, well, she wouldnât be drugged and cuffed in the corner.â
âI didnât say you had character. I said you were stubborn.â
âAh.â Daniel raised one finger. âPoint taken.â
âJust rest, okay?â
âNo.â
âDaniel â â
âI donât want to dream.â
No arguing with that. Jack settled back against the wall, faced the exit, watching the silent moonlit night. People were probably dying out there, somewhere in the ruins. Hunters hunting, victims running.
Hunters like Daniel. Hunters like Carter.
Victims like him. Tealâc. The kids in the corner.
Jack waited for the stimulants to kick in, staring out at the unchanging scenery, and heard the light, fast rhythm of Danielâs breathing start to slow. Should have given him some drugs, too. Except there werenât all that many, and Jack knew he might need them later, if things got worse.
âOâNeill,â said Tealâc softly from across the room. âI will keep watch. You should rest.â
âCanât watch two doors at once,â Jack pointed out. âIâm good. Better living through chemistry.â
âI did not enjoy harming Captain Carter.â
âGood. But if it makes you feel any better, Danielâs the one who clocked her.â
âClockedâ¦?â
âKnocked her out, Tealâc.â
âDaniel Jackson is a formidable warrior,â Tealâc conceded. âI did not know he had such strength and speed.â
âHe usually doesnât,â Jack said. âJust part of the fun on Adventure Planet.â He leaned at a better angle against the wall, the better to prop his head up and give his neck muscles a much-needed rest.
