Disclaimer: I don't own Stargate Atlantis, if I did obviously John and Liz would be together.

Note: Thanks for the reviews, spoilers for 38 Minutes and Suspicion.

Ten minutes later John was sat in the pilots' seat of Jumper 1. John had found Ford coming out of Teyla's quarters, though he insists nothing was going on, and dragged him to the Jumper Bay. When Ford asked him, what the rush was John only smirked.

John cruised along the water keeping his altitude steady. Ford turned to him.

"I heard that you and Weir had a nasty fight."

John didn't respond

"What happened?"

John turned to him

"Nothing you need to worry yourself about."

"Is it because Liz isn't sleeping?"

John shot him a look

"Bates was talking about it; he doesn't know that I heard him"

John shook his head

"I'm gonna bust that son-of-a-bitch"

Ford nodded

"Sure you don't want to talk about it?"

John nodded

"I'm sure. Anyway I wanna know what's going on between you and Teyla, and don't leave out any details."

Ford smirked.

The two of them continued their conversation until they got to the mainland.

John and Ford exited the Jumper and picked up their remaining gear.

"Get everything Ford. P-90, 9mm and the Wraith Stunner."

"You're being extremely cautious Sir"

"Ford, you've shot the hell out of this thing twice and it's still walking around, I'm not taking any chances. Pick up the C-4 as well"

"Yes Sir"

John secured the Jumper and turned to Ford.

"Let's go find us a Werewolf."

Back on Atlantis St Bates and Stackhouse were taking Elizabeth and a few privileged members of the personal through the thief-catching plan.

"We are running seriously low on the amount of rations left. The thief as moved on to stealing the food we receive from our allies."

"Stackhouse, you told me you had a plan. What is it?"

"Well Ma'am, apart from the people in this room and Major Sheppard, nobody knows there is a problem and I think the thief may not have realised we know about the drop in the food supplies. So we trick the thief. All the food is locked up at night. The only people with access are you, Major Sheppard, St Bates and the catering staff. We lie in wait."

"How can we be sure that the thief will turn up?"

"We shut down the generator which controls that area. That will mean the thief doesn't need security clearance to get in, we lie in wait and catch him"

"What confuses me is how he's getting in anyway, that place is pretty secure at night"

"We're not sure Ma'am"

Elizabeth nodded

"St Stackhouse can you stay. The rest of you are dismissed"

The group filed out of the briefing room and St Bates looked suspiciously at Elizabeth and Stackhouse. When Elizabeth was sure they were gone, she shut the door and returned to the table.

"Any theories Sergeant?"

"It's him"

Elizabeth raised her eyebrow.

"You sure?"

"Almost certain Ma'am."

"What's the real plan then?"

Stackhouse smirked

"Already in process Ma'am"

Back on Mainland, John and Ford had been searching for the Werewolf for just over two hours and were still no-way close to find it. After about 30 minutes, the two had started talking about Elizabeth and Teyla.

"…I know her job is difficult and stressful but…she burning herself out. She promised me earlier that she'd get some sleep while I'm gone but I know she won't"

Ford looked sympathetically at John

"Ask Beckett to order her to sleep."

"I already have, asked him yesterday. When he talked to Liz, she nearly killed him. Beckett then tried to kill me. It was all a big mess yesterday."

"Sorry Sir. Sorry I missed the argument between Elizabeth and Beckett that would have been something."

John smirked

"I heard it was a very loud argument."

Ford was about to reply when John stopped him.

"Something up there"

He pointed his P-90 into the direction of a small stream, the smallest of six that ran through the explored part of the Mainland.

The two of them moved cautiously through the trees. The walked up to a small clearing when they saw it.

"That doesn't look like a Werewolf, Sir"

"It's one of them damn Wraith bugs."

John and Ford looked at a Wraith bug, similar to the one that attached itself to John only this bug except this one was three-times the size of that and looked slightly like the Wraith's which they were accustom too.

"Then were the hell is the Werewolf?"

John pointed his P-90 to something coming out of the clearing opposite them

"Right there"

John and Ford ducked behind some bushes and watched.

The Werewolf was slightly taller then John, or so they guessed. The fur was a light brown. It was not really a pleasant sight. It bared it's teeth, it's long sharp teeth which looked like they could tear through metal. John felt a small shiver down his back. He really didn't like dogs. Bad childhood experience in a park when a dog jumped onto him and he thought it was going to bite him. Still freaked him out.

"Sir, you okay?"

Ford whispered to him

"Don't really like dogs"

Ford nodded

"Well Sir, you're lucky it's a Werewolf."

Ford smirked

The two were about to move from their position when they saw something which shocked them. The Werewolf began to attack the Wraith Bug, and it looked like it was wining. John whispered to Ford

"If that Werewolf wasn't going to turn on us when it's finished killing the Wraith I'd think of asking it to join the team, it's got to be more effective then McKay."

Ford suppressed a laugh. Laughing would not be good.

They turned their attention back to the Wraith and the Werewolf. The Werewolf looked like it had finished when something incredible happened. The Werewolf turned into a man.

John turned to Ford.

"You saw that right?"

"Yes Sir."

In front of them was stood a man, brown sandy hair, brown eyes and he looked slightly confused. John battled his better judgment, left his hiding place, and approached the man. The man looked at John approached him.

"Hi."

The man looked scared and confused and said something in, what John assumed, was Ancient. Then the man turned back into a Werewolf before John even realised what was happening and lunged at him but was knocked back by a blast. He turned round and saw Ford holding the Wraith Stunner.

"Think we should get him back to Atlantis?"

"Yeah, sure Liz won't mind a Werewolf. We've brought back a Wraith before."

TBC…

I'm think next chapter will be the last. Not sure though. Hope I didn't bore you too much with this chapter.
