You're tearing us
Chapter 2- Missing
John stumbled through the gate with the team. The gate shut down and John looked back to do a visual roll call.
'Ok. Teyla, check. Ronon, Check. Rodney…Rodney?...shit.' John thought to himself as he looked up at Chuck, who was at the gate controls like always.
"We need to go back! Dial it back up!" John called to Chuck who looked back at sam who was standing next to him.
"debrief now colonel." Was all sam said as she walked to the briefing room.
In the briefing room-
John was the first one in, followed by teyla and then Ronon. He sat down for a moment before getting up and pacing.
Sam walked in and his pacing stopped as he took a breath and sat down.
"Ok, What happened and where is Mckay?" Sam asked as she looked to each of them.
"We went to the planet for a simple recon. The people there were peaceful. That was until Mckay wandered into a temple and saw the truth." John started as the events of the night came back to him.
Flash back-
John was talking with the leader of the people when Rodney rushed over to him.
"Colonel we need to get out of here." He whispered lightly to john as he glanced behind him.
"Why?" John asked Rodney as teyla started talking to the leader.
"They are Wraith worshipers!" Rodney whispered back to him, his wide blue eyes more then ready to leave.
"bring proof. These people want to trade us a ZPM for only a sack of food. I'm not letting this pass by." John said as he turned away from Rodney. Rodney looked down and walked away from the team.
End Flash back
"Maybe none of this would have happened if I just believed him. I had to be the ass and tell him to get proof. The ZPM was only a fake…but I didn't know that then…" John said as he looked down at the table.
"There's one thing I don't understand. How did the shoot out start? or, In better words, what went wrong?" Sam asked as John looked back up.
"He went into the temple again to get pictures, but…they knew he'd be back. They set up a trap. It grabbed his leg and yanked him up, completely tearing open his leg. The scream brought all of us to the temple and then Ronon shot the first shot after we got Rodney down." John said as more memories of the events flashed before him.
Flash back-
Ronon cut the rope that held Rodney up and caught him before he hit the ground.
"What the hell is this?!" John asked enraged as he walked towards the leader.
"He was trying to get into the temple. My people must have seen him go in the first time and set traps incase he returned." The leader said simply as John turned from him and got a good look in the temple. Rodney was right, they were wraith worshipers.
Ronon must have seen it too because in that moment he took out his gun and shot the leader dead.
End of flashback
"After that we ran into a dug out area, it was sort of like a trench. John was firing at the enemies as I was trying to help Dr. Mckay." Teyla said, breaking john out of the memories.
"How bad was his leg injury?" sam asked as teyla looked down.
"His leg got caught in a full leg trap that ripped the skin on his leg up. He needed stitches." Teyla said as she winced lightly at the image, "it was very painful by the looks of it." She finished as she looked back up.
"Ok, so we have a MIA on our hands. I want you all to get some rest before we start coming up with a possible search and rescue plan." Sam said as she stood.
"We can't just leave him there! They will kill him or worse…send him to the wraith! I say we go and get him now!" John shouted as he clenched his fists.
"We don't even have a plan set. I' m sorry Colonel but it's going to have to wait." Sam said as she left.
John stormed out with a grunt and went to his balcony to collect his thoughts.
