It was times like these – being chased by Jaffa – that Daniel wished he hadn’t signed up at Stargate Command. He had been in same life or death situations like this already and every time it happened, his opinion was the same. It sucked. It sucked big time. He could feel the blood rushing through his veins making his head pound with the pressure as he ran from today’s Jaffa.

The tree branches that sprung at his face clawed at him like hungry animals. The ever so subtle sound of crashing footsteps were nothing but distant blurs. They were all he could hear.

Yup. It was times like these that made life at the SGC really suck.

On the other hand, they did make things extremely interesting, he mused, which balanced things out somewhat. And more importantly, what they, SG-1, were doing was helping the people of Earth and the Galaxy.

Forcing himself onward, Daniel caught sight of Sam as she dove through the blue ripples of the Stargate, barely missed by a staff weapon blast from a pursuing Jaffa. He allowed himself a small sigh of relief – if one can call it a ‘sigh’ while running like hell at the same time.

Jack and Teal’c had surely made it through ahead of her, which left only him. He kept running.

Stop! A sharp turn to the right. A turn back again. Three strikes from a Jaffa and three dodges from him. He finished it with a few bullets from his P-90.

He didn’t see the Jaffa approaching him from the other direction.

An unforgiving staff weapon blast hit him dead on and he crumpled to the ground. His world turned black.
