Daniel's Stargate
by Teddy & Peja


Part 5
by Teddy

"Airman, why is this boy up at this hour of the night? Where is Dr
Langford?" Jack asked.

"Dr Langford has gone home for the night, Sir. Civilians are not allowed to
stay overnight without special permission," the Airman told him.

"And why didn't she take the boy?"

"Because he isn't allowed off the base, Sir."

"Who is minding him?"

"I don't know, Sir," the Airman replied.

Jack crouched down to Daniel's level. "Time for you to be in bed. Do you
understand?"

Daniel just kept rocking and humming. Suddenly Jack realised he knew the
tune. It was something the children sang in parts of the near east. He'd
heard it often when he was stationed at different bases. He began singing it
quietly in English. Daniel responded but not in English. "Well, now. You are
full of surprises."

Daniel reached out and touched the patch on Jack's uniform. As he continued
singing Jack stood up and held out his hand for Daniel's who stood up as
well but didn't take his hand. He followed Jack back to the room he'd been
assigned. His bed was roughly made with a stuffed toy in the place where
Daniel should have been. Jack pulled back the cover. Daniel hopped in
without a fuss. "Lights out," Daniel said, without looking at Jack. He
rolled away from him and closed his eyes.

"That's right, lights out," Jack responded.


Part 6
by PEJA

Jack closed the boy's file and leaned back from his desk, pinching the
bridge of his nose against the ache that had lodge firmly behind his eyes.
The boy...Daniel..had gotten a rotten start. No doubt about it. Seeing his
parents killed in a freak accident, crushed by a huge tablet.

Then sent to one home after another until he finally landed in the
institution that specialized in bad care for the disabled. He'd been
cataloged as nonredeemable. Collateral damage, to be housed until he was
eighteen then dropped through the cracks. One more of the lost souls
wandering the planet with no one and nothing.

Being brought here by Langford, while a possible step up, wasn't much
better. The boy was government property. No rights. A piece of meat, a
thinking machine in a flesh form. Useful only as long as he had the answers
the government wanted.

How much of what was happening to him did young Daniel actually comprehend,
Jack wondered, shuddering. Small wonder the boy was withdrawn.
