Why This Must Be Read: In this classic fic, events turn sharply AU after Absolute Power as Daniel suddenly goes on the run. By the time Hammond tracks him down in Cascade, it's not just the NID that are after him, but some Lovecraftian creatures with an agenda of their own. Add a crossover with Sentinel, strong characterization, and a gripping storyline, and you'll find yourself reading this at a breathless gulp, desperate to know what happens next!
"Permission to fly up there and drag his butt the hell back home, general?"
"You know it's not quite that easy."
Well, yeah, maybe Jack did know that, but right now he didn't want to hear it. "With all due respect --"
"Do you really want to see him in Leavenworth, Jack?"
"He's a civilian. He has every right to quit anytime he --"
"He's also one hell of a security risk. It'd be a short trip from Leavenworth to Area 51. Shorter than the one back to SGC."
Jack flattened his hand over the copy of the library card application. It was blurry from being faxed, xeroxed, god knows what. He thought about people looking for Daniel, people who had the resources to find evidence like this. "Then what do you want me to do, sir? Just leave him to the wolves?"
Hammond didn't reproach him. If anything, his expression grew more gentle. "Get to him first. Find out what he's doing and why he left."
"We already know why he left. Shif --" he broke off. Anyone surveilling them already knew exactly what they were talking about, but there was no point in handing them everything on a platter. "That kid did something to him. Filled his head with all sorts of crazy guilt and god knows what, and then the Light scrambled his brains until he didn't know which end was up."
"I'm not saying you're wrong. But find him. Talk to him. If he wants to come home, then I'll move heaven and earth to make it happen, but if he really wants to turn his back on the whole program -- well, he's going to need help to do that, too. He can't hide himself forever."
"You'd do that for Daniel. Help him -- hide."
"Help him resign safely, ensure that he won't have to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder, yes."
