Now
Doctor Jennifer Keller screamed. A long drawn out scream filled with pain. A scream she could not prevent, even though she knew that she had just signed her own death warrant. Her captors had explained quite clearly the penalty for making a sound while being lashed.
The scream was viewed very differently by 3 distinct groups of people. Her captors laughed and cheered and the children, clustered around her in the compound, cried. But for the group of men and women hiding at the edge of the forest, the scream was a signal to take action.
As Jennifer gratefully sank towards unconsciousness, the same thoughts kept swirling around in her brain. Would Col. Sheppard and his team find her before it was too late? Had the injured Marines been rescued? Why did she always expect the 'easy' missions to actually be easy? And most importantly, at least to her at that precise moment, Why the hell couldn't she have told Ronon how she felt about him while she'd still had the chance?
