Part One

    Jack O'Neill was walking down the hall on the way to Samantha Carter's lab when someone called him.

    "Jack!  Wait up!"

    Jack recognized that voice.  It was the voice of a man that he despised more than the Goa'uld, the man who was the cause of Daniel having to
ascend.  That man was Jonas Quinn.

    "Shut up!  Don't ever call me 'Jack'!  You will address me as Colonel O'Neill!"

    Jack turned back around and started to walk away.  Jonas put his hand on Jack's shoulder.  In a flash Jack on Jonas like a fly on rye.  He grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and started punching him in the face.  He pushed Jonas down and sat on him and punched him.

    "You have your nerve!  How dare you hang around here!  Listen Jonas and listen good.  I don't like you!  I don't want you on my team! "

    Jack started kicking Jonas.  Jonas was screaming.  Jack grabbed a gun from a passing  SF.   He heard a noise behind him.  He turned and saw six SF's and General Hammond standing there.  Jack cocked the Glock and pointed it a Jonas' face.

    "Do you have any idea what it is like to be alone?  Do  you know what it is like to lose your lover because of some stupid, self-centered, egotistical fool?  You don't deserve to live!  Well now it's pay back time!  Now what are your last words?"

    "Please, Jack!"

    "I thought I told you not to call me Jack?"

     "Give me the gun, son."

    "No!  He has no idea what it is like to not have your soul mate to snuggle up to on a cold night!"

    "Jack, if you kill him, you'll be no better than he is.  Come on, give me the gun, son."

    Sobbing Jack handed over the gun.

    Jack sat in General Hammond's office.

    "Jack, what happened?"

    "Well, sir, I was on my way to Carter's lab when  Jonas called me.  He was being insubordinate.  I told him to address me as Colonel O'Neill and started to walk away.  Then, he touched me.  I lost it."

    "Okay this is what I'm gonna do.  I want you to take some time off.  Take a week or two off.  Okay?"

    "Okay."

    Before he left he wrote a note to Sam.

                 To All SGC Personnel-

                The General has given me two weeks off.  I am sorry.  I can't live without Daniel.  Please, do not blame yourselves for
this.  It is not your fault.  If anyone is to blame it is Jonas.  Thank you guys for being so supportive of Me and Danny's relationship.
Thank you for all your friendships.  I can't go on without Danny.  Jonas, I hope you know that you are responsible for the deaths of
two men.  Teal'c, take care of Carter.

                                                                                                                                                    Jack O'Neill

    He stuck the not under the door of Sam's lab.

Part Two

     Jack sat on the bed  with his 9 mm in his hand.  He missed Daniel.  Not only had Daniel been his lover, but he was also his best friend and his better half.  He had left a note:

       To All SGC Personnel-

    I am sorry to do this.  I can't live without Danny.  Without Daniel my life has no meaning.  I blame Jonas Quinn for this.
It is his fault.  I should put a bullet in his head, but I won't.  George, thanks for being there for me.  Sam, Teal'c, Janet, thanks
for being there for me.  Once again, I am sorry for doing this.

                                                                                                                                            -Jack O'Neill

   Meanwhile...

   "Oma, I have to go back.  I can't let Jack do this.  How do I get back?"

   "Daniel look deep inside and what you seek you will find."

Meanwhile at the SGC...

    Sam was on her way to get some lunch when she saw a piece of paper.  She picked it up and read it.  As she read it she became frantic.  She called the General's office and told him what she had found.

    "General, is Colonel O'Neill still in your office?"

    "No.  He left twenty minutes ago.  Why is there something wrong?"

    "Yes, he's gonna kill himself.  He left a note under my door."

    "You stop and get Teal'c and be heading over to his house.  I'll get Janet and we'll be right over."

    Sam grabbed her keys and cell phone and headed to get Teal'c.   They met her and Teal'c at Jack's house.
