Casey and Sam were in the armory, suiting up to go after their husbands. The young blonde glanced over at her best friend. "Sam, I think there’s something you should know…something that happened on that planet."

Sam looked over at her, saw the look in her eyes. "I’m not going to like this, am I?"

She dropped down onto the bench. "Probably not. But is it rape if a guy gets a blowjob when he’s asleep?"

"If what?"

Casey explained what Daniel had told her, adding that due to the Fire, and lack thereof, Daniel was not able to find relief, and that Jack probably hadn’t either.

Sam’s eyes were full of anger. "When I see him-"

"Sam, Jack didn’t do this on purpose. He loves you, girlfriend. Don’t throw everything away on something that he had no control over," Casey said softly.

The colonel took a deep breath. "You’re right. I guess it’s just a shock to find out that he…screwed another woman."

"It’s not easy to deal with, I know. But when Daniel first called to me…he was in such pain over what happened," Casey said. "I was more hurt than angry…when he explained… Sam, I love him too much, need him too much to hold this against him. He said that he and Jack tried to get away from them. You know that they couldn’t stand by and let those women be beaten, and that’s what would have happened if they had refused them."

"I hate this. It will take time to get over it," Sam admitted.

"I know. Been there, done that, survived it," Casey said quietly.

"God, Case, how do you deal with it? With knowing that Daniel…that he-" she broke off at the pain that flashed in the younger woman’s eyes.

"I love him, Sam. I know that he loves me. I admit, this is going to make it hard to trust him, and that’s really not fair to him, he wasn’t aware of what he was doing. Neferteri was a job, like Ba’al. I have that sorted out in my head now. But this…this will be different to deal with. He was drugged, I just have to cling to that part. I can’t think about the part where he willingly went to bed with her," Casey said.

"Let’s go bring ‘em home," Sam said. "Then we can decide whether to shoot 'em or not."

"Good idea." Casey stood up, and was overwhelmed by emotions…and that nagging feeling in the back of her mind. "Oh, shit!" she breathed.

"Casey?" Sam grabbed her arm.

"We have to go, Sam…now!" Casey was already running to the ‘gate room. She slid to a halt beside the remaining members of SG-6, then turned and looked at Kyle. "Get us on the Phoenix now!

"Casey, they’re not within range yet. Best I can do is get you to KX7 933, and they can get you from there," Kyle replied patiently.

"Do it! Dial that damn ‘gate! Now!"

Duncan entered the room. "Casey? What’s going on?"

"If we don’t stop that ship they’re on, we might never find them! Slaves, Duncan! They’re taking them to a slave market!"

"Oh, hell!" Duncan hissed. He turned to Kyle. "Get the gate open, contact the Phoenix and let them know. Then get Thor on the line. He owes us big time, and we’re about to collect."

Sam was standing beside Casey now, both women wide-eyed with worry and fear. She was holding tightly to her P90. "Hang on, Jack, we’re coming," she whispered.

‘Daniel?’

‘Yeah, babe?’

‘Are you okay?’

‘So far.’

‘It’s going to get…bad…they’re going to sell you, Daniel. I don’t know where, or when…we’re heading to the Phoenix right now,’ she said, walking up the ramp and into the event horizon.

A  A  A  A  A  A

Daniel let his head drop forward onto his chest. "Shit," he murmured.

Jack and Tony, who were sitting beside him, looked over. "What?" Jack asked.

"Casey just got a feeling…we’re heading for a slave market."

Jack closed his eyes, then slowly reopened them. "Well isn’t that just peachy? Next time Casey has a bad feeling, we are not going!"

Daniel looked at the older man. "She knew we weren’t going to listen to her this time. For the first time ever. I think that’s what really had her so upset."

"Remind me again why we didn’t listen to her when we know damn well that she’s never been wrong?" Jack said.

"Because the mission seemed too simple to worry about," Daniel replied. "And because the adrenaline was flowing…we wanted to go, Jack, whether we wanted to admit it or not."

Jack sighed. "Yeah, I really did want to go. It’s been great on down time, being with Sam and the girls. But…" he shook his head.

"But, we’ve done this for so long it’s in our blood," Daniel finished. He leaned his head back against the wall. "Wonder what Emmie and Nicholas are doing right now," he said softly.

Jack looked at his watch. "Probably sleeping. It’s ten-thirty p.m. on Gamma right now."

Tony stretched his long legs. "Any ideas on where we’re going? Could they have started trading slaves again on Darteen?"

Daniel shrugged. "Anything is possible." He frowned. Something wasn’t making sense, didn’t quite fit. "If we’re headed to the slave market, why not take all of the men? Why just the three of us?"

"I don’t know," Jack said, sitting up. "But it’s a good question." He started looking around the room. "Okay, now I’ve never considered myself to be overly handsome, but take a look around and tell me what you see."

Tony and Daniel looked at each of the men. "They’re all fairly good looking, I guess," Tony replied. He grinned at Daniel. "Casey thinks you’re better than Adonis, so I guess that’s why they picked you," he teased.

Daniel smiled briefly. "I’ve heard some of the female SF’s talking about you…they think you’re hot," he teased back.

Tony grinned. "Which ones?"

"Becca, a couple of others."

The grin widened. "Becca, huh? Cool."

"Okay, so does this strike either of you as…odd?" Jack asked.

Daniel looked around again. "Yeah, it does."

"Maybe we’re gonna be gigolos," Tony laughed.

The other two men exchanged a look, and groaned. It was just a bad enough idea to be true. Another thought hit Daniel, one not so pleasant. "What if…this afternoon in the tent…what if it was…"

"A job interview," Jack finished, already thinking the same thing. He had tried so damned hard to climax, knew that the little blonde had orgasmed twice, but he was still left hard and wanting. "Daniel, did you…get off?"

Daniel shook his head. Remembered the auburn haired beauty who had moaned beneath him. He had felt her come several times, and she orgasmed at least once. "No matter what I tried, it just wasn’t…right. I finally…came…but it wasn’t much relief."

"Same for me," Jack said.

Tony was staring at his hands. "I haven’t…uh…been with a woman in awhile…she sucked me off, and then I sort of did all the things I’ve always wanted to do," he admitted, his cheeks red.

"Shit!" Jack exclaimed. "Better let Casey know, it might narrow the search."

Daniel nodded, and closed his eyes. ‘Angel?’

‘Daniel?’

‘Uh, babe, we might have an idea where we’re going. Sort of. Maybe.’

‘Great! Where?’

‘Wherever they sell men for…uh…women’s pleasure houses, or some such thing.’ He braced himself, waiting for her anger. Instead he heard her giggle. God, what a beautiful sound! Wait...giggling? ‘Casey?’

‘I’m sorry, Sweetheart. You’ll be the most popular man there…’ she couldn’t continue, because now she was laughing.

‘This isn’t funny. We think that what happened this afternoon had something to do with why we were picked.’

Again there was giggling. ‘Obviously you passed the test, my love.’

Now he was getting frustrated. This was serious, and she was laughing! ‘Casey Renee Jackson, this is not funny!’

‘You’re right. Duncan is talking to Thor right now. The Asgard seem to know what’s going on everywhere, so I’ll pass this…uh…information,’ more giggles, ‘on to him. We’ll find you my heart, I promise. Just keep your pants zipped. That big anaconda of yours belongs to me!’

Anaconda? He couldn’t help but grin. ‘Yeah, as long as I have a choice, babe.’

‘Okay, I’ll let you know what we find out. Love you, Daniel.’

‘I’ll be here. Love you, Angel.’

A  A  A  A  A  A

Casey was pacing the control room of the Phoenix. They really didn’t know where to go, they were going to start at PX9 869. Hopefully there would be some sort of a trail, every ship left ionized particles from the engines as it moved through space. If there were a concentrated enough trail, they could follow it.

Sam was pacing also. Her anger over what had happened had cooled. The more she thought about it, the more she agreed with Casey that Daniel and Jack had been…raped! Marines and SGI-3 were on their way to Dracia, to find Eltar Seleconne and find out who had kidnapped their men.

‘Angel?’

Casey stopped short. "Daniel?" Sam raced to her side.

‘Uh, babe, we might have an idea where we’re going. Sort of. Maybe.’

Why did he sound as if he wished he didn’t know where they were going? She took a deep breath, tried to calm the panic that was rising in her chest. "Great! Where?"

‘Wherever they sell men for…uh…women’s pleasure houses, or some such thing.’

She stood stunned for a moment. When the words impacted on her, she giggled. Thoughts of the torture they might be facing dropped away. Sam was frowning at her now. Casey held up her hand, signaling that she’d let her friend in on what was going on momentarily.

‘Casey?’

"I’m sorry, Sweetheart. You’ll be the most popular man there…" she lost the battle to remain calm, and began laughing. "They think it’s possible that they’re on the way to a pleasure house for women," she told Sam.

Sam looked at her for a second, blinked, then began laughing.

‘This isn’t funny. We think that what happened this afternoon had something to do with why we were picked.’

She giggled again. "Obviously you passed the test, my love."

‘Casey Renee Jackson, this is not funny!’

"You’re right. Duncan is talking to Thor right now. The Asgard seem to know what’s going on everywhere, so I’ll pass this…uh…information," she couldn’t stop giggling, "on to him. We’ll find you my heart, I promise. Just keep your pants zipped. That big anaconda of yours belongs to me!" The crewmembers on the bridge exchanged grins, several snickered.

‘Yeah, as long as I have a choice, babe.’

"Okay, I’ll let you know what we find out. Love you, Daniel."

‘I’ll be here. Love you, Angel.’

Casey turned to Sam. "It seems that the…party…that Seleconne threw this afternoon was a little test. Daniel, Jack and Tony…uh…passed." She leaned over the weapons console and laughed. "Oh, god, this is just too funny!"

Sam smiled. "Yeah, it’ll stop being funny if we can’t find them."

She looked up. Her eyes were haunted. "I know. But if I don’t laugh right now, I’m going to lose my mind to the fear that I’ll never see him again," she said softly. At this the crewmembers became silent. She walked to the communications console, and signaled Duncan. It took some convincing, but finally he agreed to pass on the message to Thor.

She stood looking out at the darkness of space. "Daniel?"

‘I’m here, babe.’

"I miss you."

‘I miss you, Case. I’m sorry I didn’t listen to you.’

"Me, too. Daniel, I’ll never stop looking for you. No matter how long it takes. I’ll find you, My Heart," she promised.
