Summary: Jack writes his own letter, Daniel is not happy to receive it
Dear Daniel
You mother fucking coward, did you really think you could just say something like that and walk away? Well guess what bookboy? Think again, cause no way in hell I am letting you get away with it.
I am waiting at the stargate for you and you better get your ass here and fast cause if you aren't here with in an hour I am gonna come after you, so hard and so fast, a tornado would seem slow.
And I wouldn't try to hide Daniel because there's no where left here that I won't find you, and you can't get through the gate either so don't even think about it.
Colonel Jonathan Charles O'Neill

The cold sharp words struck Daniel to the core, Jack was here and he was angry as hell from the sounds of things, Daniel shuddered. "Skarra, please go and tell Jack to leave, I don't want to see him, I can't." Daniel asked his young friend, his brother for all intents and purposes.
"No Dan-yel, I will not, you will go and speak to him yourself." Skarra said. Daniel shook his head, "You don't understand Skarra I can't please just do as I ask." Daniel pleaded with the brown eyed Abydonian man.
Skarra shook his head, "No Daniel, you can not hide from him, to do so dishonours not only yourself. but your family, do not force me to tell my father you have dishonoured us and Shau're." he said cornering Daniel.
Skarra may not understand all that had passed, but he understood the love between these two men and that, he would not allow to be thrown away, his sister would have wanted Daniel to be happy, and he would be, if only he would find the courage to see the one he loved.
Daniel pulled his robes tighter around him trying to hold out the chill that found its place in his bones. Jack was right there was no place here to hide, even in his most hidden places Skarra would find him, and he had no doubt Skarra would help Jack look.
"Skarra you can't understand, please." he begged again but he knew it was useless, he had to face Jack. Until now Daniel had at least been able to fool himself into believing Jack didn't hate him, that at least they were friends still, but now not even that small luxury would be afforded him to warm the lonely nights.
"Tell your father I will most likely be home by sun down, but not to worry if I am not, don't look for me either." Daniel said. Skarra nodded "Go Dan-yel, and may the luck of the gods be with you." he said as he watched Daniel head out onto the desert plains of his world.
At the Stargate
Jack was pacing. /Where the hell is he? He had better come cause if not this is gonna be way more difficult that it is already gonna be./
"Jack." the voice was low, and strained but Jack would know it anywhere, so he turned quick on his feet, his features carefully schooled, "Lose the audience Daniel." he said voice as emotionless as he could make it.
Daniel shuddered, "They have to stay here, the gate..." he said motioning to the object in question. "There's a chamber down there we can go into." he said pointing down a corridor to the left. Jack nodded and followed Daniel, not speaking, this was going to be hard on both of them but it had to be this way, it had to happen like this or not at all, and Jack wasn't prepared to accept not at all.
