Disclaimer: Wishing I owned Stargate, unfortunately that wish won't come true.
He had seen it in her eyes. He only hoped that when she did come, she would be prepared. Kolya wasn't going to go easy on her just because she was a woman. In fact, since she was woman, especially a woman by the name of Elizabeth Weir, he was probably going to go even harder on her.
John could only hope that Elizabeth knew what she was doing.
At least Kolya didn't know what she was capable of doing.
She was pacing in her room. With only thirty minutes left before Kolya expected her, she had to make a decision. Knowing full well that either way John would be angry, she had to try. And the latter choice sounded far more appealing than the first.
She was going to do it.
Rodney was about to knock on Elizabeth's door when she came bursting out of her room, bumping into him on her way out.
"Where are you going? Elizabeth!"
"I don't have time to talk Rodney; I have something I need to take care of." She couldn't believe she was actually going to do this. But she owed her. It was time Elizabeth called in that favor.
He didn't know what hurt more his head or his side. Ignoring his better judgment he had to let her know it was a trap. He was right to think that he shouldn't say anything because a few seconds later one of Kolya's men (he called himself Strapp) came up and kicked him in the ribs.
At least he was able to tell her to ignore Kolya. Now if only he could ignore his mind splitting headache.
"Sir, maybe she isn't going to come."
"Give her time. It is only half past. And trust me when I say she'll come. Sheppard's life depends on it and she knows that. If she doesn't come his death will be on her conscious."
"But sir, you said ..."
"I know what I said. Fortunately for us, she doesn't.
"I know you can hear me. It's an emergency."
It was hopeless. They had no reason to answer. She wasn't even sure she trusted them.
"Do you honestly think I would be calling you if it wasn't? I need your help."
Why don't they answer? If this didn't work, she didn't know what she was going to do.
"You said you would show me if anything ever happened. Well it's happened. Kolya's back. He ... I don't know what to do. And John ..."
"Hello Elizabeth."
Sorry for cutting it so short. I just thought that would be a good cliff hanger. Leaving you all at the edge of your seat. Does anyone think they know who Elizabeth's calling? I do. If you're the first to guess right, I'll include your name in the story line somewhere. Should I give you a hint? No. You can handle it. Review!
