Author's Note:
Creepy is as Creepy does
John Shepard walked slowly down the hallway. He hated days like this. Some strange bird had come through the gate with SGA-3 and escaped the control room. Now he was searching for it in a creepy tunnel in the bowels of the city without Ford for backup. The young Marine was still missing since he had escaped after his encounter with the Wraith Enzyme.
Somewhere down the hall there was a strange noise that echoed again and again in the empty corridor. Adjusting his grip on his weapon he moved forward. There was a plinking noise as water dripped from the ceiling.
"John, where are you?" Elizabeth's voice came over the radio.
"Almost there. Has it moved at all yet?" John asked moving slowly forward. The flashlight on his P90 gave him only a few feet of visibility.
"No, it's still there. It seems to be just sitting there. It's just a few feet ahead of you to the left." Elizabeth's voice sounded much clearer that it should but John was more concerned about finding the stupid bird.
Nodding to no one but himself he slipped into the room through the open door. The lights came on and John jumped.
"Surprise!" The whole Atlantis expedition yelled as they left their hiding places singing 'For He's a Jolly Good Fellow.'
John stood there shocked until Elizabeth came forward. "We just wanted to celebrate your promotion. Congratulations Lieutenant Colonel!"
Well maybe today wasn't such a bad day, John felt himself smiling and decided to join the party.
