Season 5 Episode 2:
(As Apophis visits his son on Earth, an NID assassin kills him. Conrad mourns the loss of his only living biological parent. And seeks revenge.).
Conrad was sitting on a park bench, the wind was lightly a breeze. He sat there and listened to the birds. Then a man sat next to him. Apophis. "Hey son, how you been?" he asked. Conrad looked at his dad. "Doing good dad. When was the last time you were on Earth?" he asked. Apophis snickered. "Few years." He said. Conrad remembers that story.
They both got up and walked. Apophis disguised himself to make him look older sense he looks like he is in his late thirties. Now his disguise makes him look like he was sixty. As they were walking, they were talking. "So, how's the girlfriend?" asked Apophis. Conrad shrugs. "Good.". Apophis chuckles. "You did it yet?" he asked. Conrad looks at his old man. "Like, got laid with her? No, not until I put a ring on it." He said. Apophis chuckles. "I want grandkids by then." He teases. Conrad laughs. "No promises.".
But then a shot goes off. Apophis looks at his torso, blood, a lot of it. He goes down and Conrad grabs him. He was about to heal him when Apophis touches his wrist. "No, don't, she is waiting for me, I can hear her." He says. Conrad had tears in his eyes. "Say hi to mom for me." He asks. Apophis nods. "I will." He shuts his eyes and joins the afterlife.
Conrad pulls his phone out and called the pentagon. He had a contact there. He then looked at a roof. His eyes were pure rage. "I'll find you! And I will hunt you down!" he shouts.
At the funeral a week later, the Syndicate were having a traditional Jaffa ceremony. Apophis was covered in cloth, he was placed in a coffin and placed on a raft, sailing down a river. A headstone was placed up with his personal belongings.
After the funeral, Conrad was standing there in a suit. He placed something on the headstone, it was a bracelet, the very one he wanted to give for his father after the war. Teel'c approached from behind. "There was a time I saw Apophis as an enemy, a plague, he then become one of Earth's greatest allies. I will stand by your side Captain Baird, I will assist you on your quest for revenge." He assured. Conrad turned to Teel'c. "He was my only biological family. SG-1 is also my family. This man targeted him, meaning he wants to hurt me, I shall find him, and kill him.".
Teel'c spoke calmly. "How may I assist?". Conrad smiled.
The president was in the Oval Office. But then a flash of light appeared and Conrad was in front of him. President Hayes smiled. "Captain, what brings you here?" Conrad dropped a paper. "My alibi. I am going rogue, I think the man responsible for my father's death is on Earth. I am going after him.". President Hayes crossed his arms. "What do you need?" he asked. Conrad started. "To catch this bastard, I need you to place me on dangerous, capture on sight, I am luring him out. Place an APB on me. Make it convincing.". President Hayes nodded. "Let's do it, the Syndicate is our greatest ally, we can't loose them.".
Back at the SGC, Hammond was on the phone with his grandchildren. But he got disturbed when a man in a suit came in his office. "General Hammond, Agent Lynch CIA, I have bad news, your nephew is on our watch list.". Hammond hung up. "What for?" he asked. Agent Lynch continued. "Dangerous, arrest on sight.".
Hammond was forced to give the bad news. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I have some bad news, Captain Conrad Baird has been compromised, dangerous, arrest on sight. Until this situation is under hold, all gate travel will be on stand by, SG-1 will be send to the pentagon to assist on the search, orders from the president. Thank you.".
Hammond then picked up the red phone and pressed two. "Was that convincing enough?" he said with a smile. Conrad spoke over the phone. "Works for me.".
SG-1 was now at the pentagon and to their surprise, Former Senator Kinsey was there, he smiled evilly at SG-1. "Well, well, well, isn't this a surprise, your precious captain gone rogue and you have to find him, I might no longer be a politician but I still have some rights to be here." He bumped into Jack on purpose. Sam scoffed. "I hate that guy.". Jack nodded. Teel'c just smirked for himself, obviously Conrad planned this out.
The huge screens showed cameras everywhere. Then they got a hit. "Colonel O'Neill sir, we got a hit, white male late twenties to possibly early thirties, blonde, black jacket.".
It was Conrad alright. Jack sighed. "That's him, keep an eye on him, don't move unless necessary.". Sam sat down and Daniel placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's gonna be ok." He said. Sam shook her head. "No it's not, I lost him again.". Daniel sighs. "Well, to be honest I am surprised he didn't crack earlier, after the shit he saw.".
Conrad was walking down the street, he knew the CIA was watching him, he counted on it. His first hunch was that Kinsey was involved. He was taking him down. But while he was walking, he noticed a van following. So to make himself appear more ruthless, he pulled out a submachine gun and shot at the van wheels. The van stopped and crashed on the side walk. He then approached it and opened the door. Shoving a note into the console and walked off.
SG-1 was watching, they couldn't believe it. Teel'c was also shocked. Kinsey snickered. "Order all teams to kill on sight." He said. Sam then turned to the man. "No you can't!" she said. Kinsey looked at her. "I can, and I did.". He walked off.
Conrad was at a park bench, he had a hat hiding his face he swapped clothes as well. President Hayes then sat from behind. "You were right, Kinsey was behind it. But the assassin, is NID.". Conrad looked at the picture. "Shanahan? This can't be, I killed him." He said. President Hayes shook his head. "You got him in the ear, he was in a coma, woke up a few weeks ago.". Conrad sighed. "I am not the target, Sam is.". President Hayes sighed. "You sure? I can order the CIA to stand down, tell them the story." He offered. Conrad handed the file. "No, we keep it up. Teel'c knows, I told him, he will keep me updated.". Hayes nodded. "If you need anything, here's a safe house address.". Conrad took the paper and placed it in his pocket. "Thanks. This will surely give you my vote." He said. Hayes chuckles. "I will take it as a compliment.".
Hayes got up and got in his limo. Conrad got up and walked to the bus, he had a fake ID for encase of these situations. An hour later he was at the address. Opening the door he found a couch, TV, it was a small house. He opened the fridge and found enough food for two days. 10 000 dollars in cash. He even found a huge safe in the bedroom. He unlocked it and found guns. Smiling he shut it. "You are going down Shanahan.". A car stopped at the door. Getting up he made a run for a 9mil. He went down to the door. He peaked through the peak hole and saw Sam. "Sam? What the?" he whispered. He slowly opened the door while holding the weapon ready. He then flung the door open and pointed the gun forward.
Sam jumped. "Conrad you scared me." She slapped the gun out of his hand and hugs him. "What the hell is going on?" she asked. Conrad sighs. "Pete's after you.". Sam then lifts and eyebrow. "He's dead." She said. Conrad then showed the picture. Sam looked at it and felt a chill down her spine. "How?" she asked. Conrad grunts. "I missed.".
Sam then crossed her arms. "You did this because he is after me?" she asked. Conrad shook his head. "No, I am doing this because he killed my dad, I only found out today it's Pete and you are the target.". Sam then huffed. "And all this? You could've come to me for help." She said. Conrad helped her out. "I have help from the president. He owed me a favour, so I called it in.". Sam sighs. "It was your idea to put you on a blacklist?" She asked. Conrad nodded. "Kinsey is involved.".
Sam huffs. "I can't believe this!". Conrad then snaps. "You want to fight!? I did this because I didn't want you involved! If you want to leave me for this fine! My father is dead! I am on the hunt, SO STAY OUT OF IT!" he ordered. Sam was shocked. They had fights before but not like this. Sam started crying. "I can't loose you again." She said. Conrad winces. "That is what this is about?" he asked. "I am not an idiot, I was trained for this, I was looking for belonging my entire life, I found it, but… … … I can't loose it. My perfect girlfriend, my amazing job, friends, this is my life, I will sure as hell lay my life down for it." He spoke with pride.
Sam smiled. "I am perfect?" she asked. Conrad smiles. "100%" he assured. Sam then kissed him. Conrad then latched his arms on to her. He wasn't letting go. "Damn what did I do to deserve you?" he asked. Sam smiled naughtily. "Well, I was kind of attracted to your figure." She teased. Conrad snickers. "No that, is a lie, but a good one." He teases back. Just as things were gonna go nuts, Conrad's burner phone rang. "What do you got Teel'c?". Teel'c voice came over the phone. "Major Carter is on her way." He said. Conrad smiled. "She's here, she knows. Thanks buddy.". He hung up and placed it in a box with a signal jammer. "Hell, I got some good friends.". Sam then latched her arms around his torso. "Conrad, will you ever break any of your beliefs?" she asked.
Conrad thought for a second. "Depends on which one." He said. Sam then gnawed on his shirt. "Would you do it with me?" she asked. Conrad then hesitates with his answer. "What if you get pregnant?" he asked. Sam looks at him. "If you're the father, then I will risk it.". Conrad thought for a second. "It is one of my most strict beliefs. But, I will make this one exception.".
Later that night Sam was asleep in the bed. But Conrad wasn't. He did it, he had sex before he was engaged! He kind of felt bad about it. But he had other problems. Getting up he walked to the door of the room, sitting on the stairs he pulled out his burner phone. "Mr. President, we have to wrap this up. Can you get the secret service run a search on Pete Shanahan?" he asked. President Hayes answered. "Sure can.". Conrad answered too. "Great thanks.".
As he got up, Sam was looking at him. "Who was it? The president?" she asked. Conrad nodded. He sat on the edge of the bed. "You liked it?" he asked. Sam smiles. "Best I had in years. You know how to please a woman." She said. Conrad smiles and whispers in her ear. "I had practice.". Sam snickers and pulls him in.
Pete was in a van listening. But all his scanners picked up were moans. He shut his sensors off and groans. "Sam, you whore." He insults.
The next morning Sam woke up seeing Conrad was gone, but there was a note. Saying: Down stairs. Meet me.
Sam got dressed and saw Conrad making eggs and bacon. Sam smelled it and she was hungry. She then grabbed his rear. Conrad chuckles. "Hey I got to sit on that." He teases. Sam doesn't let go. "Oh really, after what you did last night to me? You won't be sitting for a while.". Conrad lifts a brow. "Well, maybe after I put a ring on it, I will be all yours." He promised. Sam was taken back. "Are you?" she asked. Conrad nodded. "I have been saving this.". He reached behind her ear and then some how held a diamond ring. "Do I have to ask?" he asked. Sam nods. "I want you here you say it.". She asked. Conrad nods. Going on a knee, he holds the ring up. "Will you grant me the honours of becoming my wife?" he asked. Sam nods. "Thought you never ask.".
Conrad gets up and slipped the ring on. Sam then remembered something. "You never asked my dad for his blessing." She said. Conrad nods. "I did. I even recorded it.". He played the tape.
"Uhm, Jacob, you know how much your daughter means to me. So, I am here to ask for your blessing, I wish for your daughter to be my wife.". A light grunt on the tape sounded like Jacob. "Okay, first off, what took you so long, and second of all, I give you my blessing.".
The tape ended. Sam smiles. "You know, Pete never asked for his blessing." she said. Conrad smirks. "He has no balls." He said. Sam wrapped her arms around his neck. "He barely held that long, and wanted all the power." She said. Conrad lifts a brow. "Is four hours long enough?" he asked. Sam's eyes stretched. "World champion to me." She said.
Conrad nods. "Nice.".
But then the door was kicked out and Pete came storming in. "Give me my wife!" he demanded. Conrad stood in front of Sam. He grabbed a shotgun and aimed. "Back off!". Pete shoots Conrad in the shoulder. Conrad still holds his ground. But before Pete could shoot, a bullet goes through his head. When he fell, Jack stood there with a P90. "You kids okay?" he asked. Conrad heals his shoulder. Teel'c and Daniel came in then as well.
Daniel saw the place and smirks. "Wow, President Hayes really knows his safe houses.". Conrad sighs. "Hayes told you didn't he?" he asked. Jack nods. "Right after Kinsey got arrested for consulting to murder.".
Sam helped Conrad up and Jack saw the ring. "About time you two!" he cheered. Daniel and Teel'c saw it and started clapping. "Alright!" said Daniel. Teel'c smiled. "Congratulations.".
The award ceremony was held at the Whitehouse. President Hayes smiled. "Ladies and gentlemen, this team, has been our protectors and saviours for a long time. Therefor, I President of the United States, award you all with this award." He placed a golden medal on all SG-1 members.". President Hayes then continued. "And, to our hero, Captain Baird, I award you this silver cross.". Conrad saluted. President Hayes then spoke quietly. "I plan on promoting you after this war.". Conrad nods. "Understood.".
