The Walls of Jericho - 24 (from part 1 here)
by Icarus


Sam shivered and rubbed her shoulders. She was grateful for the fire at least, but second watch was only marginally better than third. If the colonel drew fourth watch one more time she was going to suspect cheating.

With a sigh, she blew on her hands and reluctantly followed procedure and walked the perimeter of their campsite, the fire snapping behind her. She glanced back. It was too smoky, or at least it would be if there were any hostiles about. But they'd established there weren't. She was sure about that.

Well. Pretty sure. Theoretically it was sound.

As she approached Colonel O'Neill and Daniel's tent she heard a sharp yelp -- and froze. Daniel. She leaned towards the tent, but the sound didn't repeat.

"Daniel?" she whispered. "Are you okay?"

"Uh, yeah…" His voice sounded sleepy and somewhat strangled. "Um… just a - a rock."

Sam raised her eyebrows and tried not to laugh. "Okay," she managed. From the sound of Daniel's voice it was obvious what he was doing, though he'd better not wake up the colonel if he knew what was good for him. "Then I'll, ah, leave you alone."

She crept away, wiping her mouth as she smothered a giggle. If Daniel thought he was getting out of this without being teased tomorrow, oh he was sadly mistaken.




Yes. I know, too short. But I couldn't resist. More to come (cough) I promise.

Okay, this took a little longer than I planned, but here goes.

*g* I was going to wait to post this until after I had the rest of Jack/Daniel's night, but I got worried at a little buzz my laptop was making, so I posted everything I could, uploaded unfinished fic to my website because I don't know how bad the situation is.

This morning my computer cut out completely (I'm writing from the library). *shakes head* I've no idea how expensive this will be, but for now, I've no computer.

Awww, you're such a tease...

I was going to save it until after I wrote Jack/Daniel's night, but then a little noise my hard drive was making worried me. Now I'm glad I post this tidbit early -- my computer cut out this am.

Fuck.

I saw your post about it. Hope you can work it out and get your data back.
I know that problem myself, it's really annoying when that happens. But I still make insufficient backups. *writes reminder to do one again tomorrow*

Yeah, don't wake up the Colonel, Danny. *smirk*

You know she wouldn't be completely fooled. *g*

It may be longer than I planned for the next part: my computer just died this am. [This message brought to you live, from the library.]

Getting to the good stuff!!!

You made me giggle...I haven't giggled in a while - I needed that. I'll be waiting with baited breath until your computer is back up and running...pant, pant, pant...
