Chapter 4

John, Teyla, Rodney and Ronon got to the control room.

"What happened?" Rodney asked.

"We don't know the energy in that door just spiked" Zelenka said pointing at the screen. John spoke into his com

"Major Lorne, assemble two teams and meet me in the control room ASAP." he said.

"Yes sir, may I ask what this is about?" Major Lorne replied.

"I'm not sure but I think we might have an intruder on our hands" he answered.

"Wait a minute, that can't be true there are no life signs." Colonel Carter said. Rodney snapped his fingers.

"Maybe their cloaked." he said.

" I want you to cut power to that section of the city." Sam added

"Already done" Zelenka replied.

"Well then, we better get a move on then." Ronon said. As soon as major Lorne's team arrived they split up.

"We're never going to get anywhere. It's taking too long." Rhade said looking around.

"The power is cut of; there's nothing I can do." she replied trying to open the door.

"Someone's coming" Rhade said pulling Ayana away.

"Wait, I need to get my stuff." she tried to protest but he pulled her along. Colonel Sheppard, Ronon and a few other officers entered.

"They've been here" Ronon said.

"How can you tell?" John whispered.

"Just can" he replied. Just then Ayana dropped the device she was holding and it fell to the ground becoming visible. Ronon turned around and shot around the area, stunning Ayana in the chest. Her cloak disappeared. 'Damn it' Rhade thought. If he tried to stop them he'd only end up getting caught.

Ronon approached the slumped figure.

"Look familiar?" he said looking ad Sheppard.

"Oh crap" was John's reaction. "Fine let's take her to a holding cell" he said.

"What if there's someone else?" Ronon asked.

"I don't think we'll get another lucky shot anytime soon, lets go." he said looking around.

Ayana woke up in a place that looked a lot like the holding cells on Madara. She had the biggest headache. She tried to open her eyes but the light 'oh for crying out loud' she thought.

"Well this is a pleasure." she heard a voice say. She turned round and saw Colonel Sheppard.

"For you maybe" she replied. John just smiled.

"It's not as fun when you're in the cell is it?" he said. She just smiled at him. She got up and walked up to the force field but didn't touch it.

"What do you think Colonel Sheppard?" she said.

"You remember my name, well I'm flattered." he replied. This time she gave him a huge smile; one that said, 'when I get out of here you are so going to regret this'.

"What do you want?" she asked

"I think you know" he said and after some silence he added "What are you doing here and how did you get here?"

"If I tell you will you let me go?" she asked.

"You know the answer to that question." John replied. He knew she wouldn't give in but he was just giving it a chance.

"Listen when you want to talk just call on the guard." he said an then left.

How could she have been so stupid allowing herself to get caught. She just hope Rhade had a plan to get her out.

After what seemed like ages Colonel Sheppard came back, but this time with a woman who had blonde hair. Ayana sat up.

"Hello" she said. Ayana just stated back.

"I'm Colonel Samantha Carter, leader of this base." she said.

"Oh so you're his boss?" she asked. Sam just smiled at her and said

"We are willing to make a bargain with you."

"See she knows ho to get information out someone!" Ayana said to John.

"If you talk to your people and convince them to form an alliance with us then we'll let you go." Sam said.

"That's it? All you want is an alliance?" Ayana said doubting she was telling the truth.

"This may surprise you but we face a very large threat.."

"The Wraith" Ayana finished.

"Not only the Wraith. Do you know what replicators are?" Sam asked.

"They were destroyed by the Alterans" Ayana replied.

"Not quite, it seems the ancients didn't to a thorough job." John added.

"And you think we can help." Ayana said.

"We saw your technology. We know you are advanced and hey you almost managed to break into the city undetected." John said.

"Why should I trust you?" she said.

"You don't have a reason to trust us but we're both taking a risk" Sam said. After a pause Sam said "We'll give you time to think."

Ayana thought about it. In fact she thought about it and thought about it again. She really didn't want to let an opportunity pass that could have been very important. Maybe she should start trusting people again. She'd stopped trusting everyone when her father died. She just couldn't handle it. He promised he would always be there but he wasn't. But this wasn't a personal issue. This was for her people. She was just about to call the guard, when Rhade came running in. He shot the control panel twice and opened the door.

"Let's go!" Rhade said grabbing her arm. They started running while being chased by Colonel Sheppard's team and other marines. They were now running and trying to avoid getting shot, which at the moment was working. They were now getting to the transporter where Vicki was passing by. Ayana grabbed Vicky by the arm and pulled knife out of her boot and put it to Vicki's throat. Everyone paused when they saw this.

"Get your men out of here or I'll kill her." Ayana said.

"It doesn't have to work like that." John tried to say to diffuse the situation. Ayana and Rhade were now backing to the transporter door with Vicki. Ayana was almost in the transporter when she felt a pain on her shoulder.

"Damn!" she said and threw Vicki out of the transporter and the door closed. John ran towards Vicki as soon as the doors closed.

"Are you okay?" John asked as he knelt near Vicki examining her neck.

"I'm fine!" she snapped, batting his hand away. John looked up shocked and found her glaring him.

"Major, get her to the infirmary" John said.

"I'm fine" she insisted.

"Major, get her to the infirmary." John said giving her an 'I'm you commanding officer look.'

They searched for Ayana and Rhade for hours but eventually they gave up.
