DOPPELGANGER
Chapter 10
In the briefing room, Doctor Weir, Sheppard, his team, and Alex, are all sitting around the table, discussing how to go about capturing Kai.
Alex stared at the two scanners, that she'd handed over, earlier. Both of them were sending out blips, indicating where Kai was. Which seemed to be, just on the outer edges of the unexplored part of Atlantis.
"So if we keep our people restricted to these area's, that'll be one less problem to worry about. And with only my team running around, there'll be less people for Kai to change in to." Sheppard said, he looked at Alex, "Do you have any other suggestions." He asked.
"Not that I can think of."she said, her mind was on other things, specifically on what capturing Kai, would actually mean. Once he was captured, she'd have to go back to Earth.
"Alex, did you hear that?" Sheppard asked, frowning at her, she seemed to be distracted, he thought.
"What?" she said, pulling herself out of her thoughts.
"Teyla and Ronon, will try to get Kai, to head towards us." He told her, she still didn't know what he was talking about, she'd hardly heard a word anyone had said.
"Sure." she answered. Apparently they'd finished, and she still didn't have a clue what was going on.
Ronon and Teyla took one of the scanners, and Shepard took the other one. Then they set out to find Kai.
>>>>>ooooo>>>>>
Alex and Sheppard walked along the corridors, heading towards Kai. Alex had to keep looking behind to see Sheppard, he seemed to be lagging behind all the time. "Are you sure you should be doing this, with your ribs being so sore." she asked, wondering if this was the reason he was lagging behind.
"Beckett gave me a shot, to take the edge off the pain." He told her, his eyes still glued to her wiggling butt.
"Ronon, how far are you from Kai?" He asked over the radio.
"Not far, we should see him soon." Ronon answered.
"Don't forget we want him alive." Sheppard added.
It was about ten minutes later when they heard Ronon and Teyla over the radio, talking about, Kai.
"Ronon! What's going on?" Sheppard asked over the radio.
"Kai, saw us, he headed in to one of the transporters."
"We have all the transporters covered. So the only one he can safely exit from, is this one, here." He said, looking at the transporter up ahead. He and Alex hid and waited for Kai to exit from the transporter.
The transporter doors opened and Kai, cautiously looked out, seeing that no one was around he exited, then walked down the corridor towards them. Something must have alerted him, because he suddenly slowed down, then he hesitated. Sheppard, realising that Kai, knew they were there, came from behind the wall pointing a stunner at Kai.
Kai didn't wait around he took off, down the corridor away from Sheppard, who fired the stunner at him but missed. Alex took off after Kai, she was faster than Sheppard, so she reached Kai first. Kai dragged her behind a wall and changed his image in to Alex, so that Sheppard couldn't see.
When Sheppard came up to them, he closed his eyes and cursed, then he looked between them, he tried to think of a question that only Alex would know.
"Where, were you three hours ago." he asked.
"In the shower." 1st Alex said.
Sheppard pointed his gun at 2nd Alex.
"Don't you think he'd know that. Having written on me, he's assuming I'd have a shower to remove the pen." 2nd Alex, warned.
1st Alex turned and grabbed 2nd Alex "Shut up Kai." she said.
They had hold of each other, and they started tussling. Neither of them were taking any notice to Sheppard. He stood there, wondering if he should just shoot the both of them, but he dismissed the idea as soon as he thought of it. He noticed that one Alex attacked, while the other one blocked. He wondered it the blocking one was Kai. Sheppard had a sudden idea, pointing the stun gun at the both of them, he told them, he'd had enough, he was taking the two of them in. He then told them to start walking, or he'd shoot the both of them, and sort it out later, as to who the real Alex was. He watched as they walked ahead of him. He noticed immediately, what he was looking for, he pointed the stun gun and fired.
Alex turned to look at Sheppard. "How did you know that was Kai." she asked, him.
"I'm very observant." He told her, and watched her trying to fathom out how he had known the difference.
"Ronon let security know they can stand down, we've got him." Sheppard said in to his radio.
"Everything alright." Ronon asked.
"Yeah, everything is fine."
Bending down Sheppard strapped Kai's hands, together.
>>>>>ooooo>>>>>
In the interrogation room, Kai, sat in the chair, his legs stretched out, and he was leaning back, in the chair, as if he didn't have a care in the world. And for once, he actually looked like his normal self. He had an arrogant look on his face, Alex knew it was just for show. She could see him watching beneath hooded eyes, taking in everything around him. Since they had brought him in to the room, he had continually baited, Sheppard.
"You shouldn't be touching another man's property." Kai said, looking at Sheppard.
Sheppard, finally snapped, with this vague reference, to the writing on Alex. He grabbed Kai by the shoulders, yanked him out of the chair, and pushed him up against the wall. "How would you like me to carve my initials in to your hide." He said quietly, but menacingly, at Kai.
Kai didn't say anything, he just smirked. Sheppard threw him back down in to the chair.
After half an hour, Kai started to complain that he needed medical attention. Finally, Sheppard called Beckett, to come and take a look at him.
"What's the problem then." Beckett asked, looking at Kai.
"I think I may have busted a rib or two." He told Beckett, looking accusingly, at Alex.
Alex lowered her eyes.
"Lets have a look shall we." Beckett said, raising Kai's shirt up, he saw some discolouration on his skin. Beckett, looked over at Sheppard.
"Well don't look at me, I didn't touch him." Sheppard said.
"How did this happen son." Beckett, asked Kai. Alex looked at him to see what he'd say.
Kai didn't say anything, but his eyes never strayed from Alex, who blushed slightly, and turned away. When she lifted her head up she saw Sheppard watching her.
"He'll need an x-ray to see if he's broken any ribs."
"Fine, but the straps stay on." Sheppard said, sending a security detail along with Beckett and Kai to the infirmary.
"Alex..." Sheppard asked, when everyone had left.
"Yes, alright, I busted his ribs." she admitted, before he asked.
"I'm not complaining, he deserved it, after what he did."
"Then what where you were going to say?"
"I don't think you should be in the same room as Kai. He seems agitated, maybe you should wait outside." he told her.
Alex laughed, he had that the wrong way around, it was Sheppard, Kai was agitated with, but he had a point, maybe she should use some of the authority she had.
>>>>>ooooo>>>>>
When Kai came back, with no broken ribs, just bruising, he still, continued to bait Sheppard. And he changed his image several times, alternating from Alex, to Sheppard.
Sheppard started to feel uncomfortable, at the veiled innuendoes, Kai kept throwing out. Innuendoes that only, Kai, and Alex, understood. Thinking about it, Sheppard realised that he was jealous, and that made him even more uncomfortable. How could he be jealous, he'd only known Alex for a few days. Admittedly they'd become intimate very quickly, but he blamed that on the erotic dream he'd had, the images had still been fresh in his mind, when she'd turned up at his door. And when she'd touched him, he'd found himself wanting more.
"Kai!" Alex shouted, bringing Sheppard to his senses.
He looked up and saw the image Kai had changed in to, Alex, naked. Sheppard moved towards Kai, reached his hand out to grab the device, which he couldn't see, but knew it was situated on his chest.
"Don't!" Alex shouted, but it was too late.
Sheppard received an electrical jolt from the device, which threw him back, knocking him off his feet. Alex quickly ran over to check he was alright.
"Don't you think I'd have done that already, if it had been that easy." she said, quietly, while making sure that he wasn't hurt. She heard him groan, "Are you hurt?"
"No more than usual." he replied, moving to stand up.
Ronon had his blaster out, pointing it at Kai.
Alex decided she'd had enough.
"Everyone out of the room!" She shouted, noticing that Sheppard, and Ronon, totally ignored her.
"That's an order!" She said, looking at the both of them.
Sheppard looked at her "You're ordering me out?" he asked with disbelief. "I'm head of security, you can't order me out." He told her, angrily.
"I can get security to throw you out, if you want me to." she threatened.
He scowled at her, turned on his heel, and left.
Behind her, Kai, sniggered, "Alone at last." He said.
Alex, whirled around to face him, the look she gave him, made him shut up instantly.
She looked at the naked image of herself that Kai was portraying "You really are very childish, do you know that Kai." she said, watching as he reddened slightly. He pressed his bound hands to his chest, and changed back in to his own image.
"Take the device off." she told him, watched as he seemed to think about it. "If you take it off I'll bring the box in here, so you can check it out."
"You take it off." he told her.
She stood up, and moved over to him. Kai raised his arms up so that she could grab his t-shirt, she lifted it up, and put her hand against his chest. She felt the device and gripped it, then she pulled it free. But Kai dropped his arms down, trapping her hand against his chest.
"Mm, that feels good." he groaned, as she tried to get her hand free. She spotted him looking at the camera, that was attached to the wall, and she knew he was doing it to get at Sheppard.
In the observation room, Sheppard was watching, and listening, to everything. He didn't like it when Alex lifted the guy's t-shirt up, hated it when he saw her hands on Kai's chest, and felt like murdering someone when he saw Kai, lower his hands, trapping Alex's hand against his chest.
"Do you want to see what's in the box?" Alex said to Kai, who immediately lifted his arms up, to allow her to remove the device, and her hand, from his chest.
She told one of the security guys to get Sheppard. When he opened the door, a few moments later, she moved outside.
"Tell McKay to bring the box down here." She told him, he still looked angry.
"You really think you should do that." He asked, not liking the idea.
"Yes." She said, and didn't say anything else.
"I'll get one of the security guys to bring the box in."
"No, I want McKay." She told him.
"Why do you want McKay to bring it in." He asked, irrationally, wondering why she didn't want him to do it.
"Because if Kai activates anything, the only one who'd be able to stop it, would be McKay."
Sheppard, reluctantly agreed with her.
>>>>>ooooo>>>>>
McKay entered the room, looking a little nervous, holding a box in his hands.
Alex took the box from him and placed it on the table in front of Kai.
"I need my hands free." He said.
Alex smiled, "Not a chance."
Kai looked in to the box, he immediately saw what he was looking for. He picked up the small, flat, oblong, metal artefact. Alex saw the four finger indents on one side, and when Kai turned it over, she saw the other single finger indent, on the other side.
Kai put his fingers in to the four indents and his thumb in to the single indent on the other side, and pressed his fingers and thumb against the artefact. Then he placed it on the table, and waited. A few seconds later the artefact, opened like a book.
McKay was watching, with fascination, his eyes opened wider when the device suddenly came to life. A 3D holographic image appeared from the device, a bit like the one they had seen when they first arrived on Atlantis. The image depicted a solar system, then a planet, then a location on that planet.
"McKay, you know what it is?" Alex asked him.
"It's a map, showing the location of something." He said, his eyes glued to the device and the images it was portraying. "But what it's showing I have no idea."
"Kai?" Alex asked, wondering if he knew, and would he tell if he did.
"I don't know." he answered, Alex couldn't judge whether he was telling her the truth, or not.
Alex suddenly felt at a loss, there was nothing else to do. She had Kai, she had the device he'd been looking for, now the only thing left to do, was contact Earth and give a report, and wait to see what they said.
Alex took the device off Kai, and headed out the door. Telling security that they could lock Kai up for now.
Sheppard came out of the observation room, intending on following Alex, but one of his security guys collared him, and he found himself having to deal with several problems.
>>>>>ooooo>>>>>
Alex, left Doctor Weir's office, having just given her a report to send back to Earth. She wondered how long it would be, before they contacted her, told her what she had to do next. For the next few hours Alex avoided Sheppard, why she avoided him she didn't know. Eventually, she went to her quarters, where she undressed, showered, and fell asleep.
Sheppard, stood outside Alex's quarters, and hesitated over whether to use his access override, code. It was late evening, and he wanted to see her, needed to see her. He knew there was no way he would be able to leave, without seeing her, so he used the override code. The doors slid open, and he saw her, asleep in bed, he entered her room and the doors closed behind him. He moved beside the bed, and looked down at her, she was lying on her side with the sheep pulled up over her breasts. moving to the other side of the bed, he laid down beside her, spooning his body behind hers.
He could get used to this, he thought, leaning over and kissing her bare shoulder, and stroking his hand across her skin. He rested his arm across her waist, pulled her back to fit more snugly against him, he felt her nudging her buttocks back, nestling them against his groin. He bit his lip, to stop the groan that was rising in his throat. After a few moments she stilled, which allowed him to calm his errant body down. He held her, while his thoughts wandered.
He really could get used to being with Alex, on a permanent basis, he thought. In fact, if he was truthful, he didn't think he'd be able to do without her. His eyes flew open as soon as he thought it, it made him nervous to think about it. Could he let someone have that much control over him, over his feeling. He looked at Alex, lying beside him, and realised that he could, with Alex, allow her that much control over him, and that he actually wanted it, he just hoped that she felt the same way.
He pulled her even closer against his body, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
