Elizabeth moved to were Stackhouse was sat.
"He's on the move Ma'am"
Elizabeth nodded
"How do you get this tracking device on him?"
"Trick of the trade Ma'am"
The two continued to watch the laptop their were positioned at. The dot on this screen that indicated their target was stopping again, Stackhouse picked up his radio
"Security team stop. He's stopped outside a door 15 feet in front of you. Hold your position until I tell you otherwise"
The team watched as their target entered the room
"He's entered the room Sir."
Stackhouse turned to Elizabeth and pointed to the screen
"I tailed him yesterday and he stopped at door. If it's him, that's were he's storing the food."
Elizabeth nodded, and Stackhouse turned to her
"Problems with the Major Ma'am?"
Elizabeth looked at him
"Get on with your work"
There was really no force behind her words
"Can't blame me for trying Ma'am"
Elizabeth smiled. She knew Stackhouse didn't actually have a thing for her, not anymore at least, but he was also a good friend and she valued his friendship.
"He's on the move again"
Stackhouse picked up his radio
"He's moving again, maintain your distance."
Elizabeth turned to Stackhouse
"Your move Stackhouse"
Stackhouse stood up and handed her the spare radio and pocketed one for himself.
"Yes Ma'am"
Elizabeth watched as Stackhouse made his way to his target, when he reached his target Elizabeth listened on the radio
"St Stackhouse"
The target greeted
"St Bates"
Elizabeth sat back; she was going to enjoy this.
"I was wondering why the power hasn't been cut to section 5 yet"
Stackhouse decided to play it dumb
"It hasn't?"
Stackhouse turned on his radio.
"Stackhouse to Weir"
"Yes St."
"The power hasn't been cut to section 5 yet, I'm with St Bates and we're wondering why"
"I'll get Peter to check on it."
"Yes Ma'am"
While Stackhouse was keeping Bates busy, the security team were busy breaking in to the room Bates had just come from and Elizabeth was making her way down to the corridor. She stopped a few feet behind Bates waiting for confirmation from the security team. When she received confirmation, she nodded to Stackhouse.
"There is one more thing Sir."
"And that is?"
Elizabeth came up behind Bates
"An answer"
He spun round, saw Elizabeth and then saw the security team exiting the room he'd just left
Bates sighed and Elizabeth turned to the security team
"Get him out of my sight."
As the security team were taking Bates away, she turned to Stackhouse.
"Good job, take the rest of the week off."
"Ma'am, it's Sunday"
"So it is"
She smirked at him one last time before turning and walking back to the control room.
Stackhouse muttered to himself…
"That woman will be the death of me"
…and made his way to his quarters.
John settled the Jumper down and called Elizabeth and a security team into the Jumper Bay. Elizabeth entered first and was greeted by John and Ford who both had big smirks on their faces. Elizabeth stood and crossed her arms across chest.
"What have you two done now?"
John stepped forward and kissed her
"You love me right?"
He was waiting for it and yes, there it was 'the eyebrow.'
"Depends on what you've done"
John turned to Ford
"Ford?"
Ford nodded and went to the back of Jumper and brought out the Werewolf.
Elizabeth's eyes widened.
"What the hell is that?"
John turned to her
"It's a Werewolf, my darling"
"Don't you 'my darling' me"
John walked over to Ford and the Werewolf.
"It turned into a man"
"What?"
"It turned into man; I think it was an Ancient"
Elizabeth thought for a moment
"Let's get him into lock-up then get Beckett to take a look at him"
Ford nodded
"Yes Ma'am"
The security team entered and helped Ford take the Werewolf to lock-up while John followed Elizabeth through the corridors of Atlantis up to her office.
She sat down at her desk and John followed and sat in the chair opposite.
"What else did you find out there?"
"Get this, one of those damn Wraith bugs."
Elizabeth sat up slightly on hearing that.
"The Wraith are on the planet?"
"We only saw one; before we could do anything about it our resident Werewolf killed it. It then turned into a man said something in Ancient and then turned back"
"Do you remember what he said?"
John shook his head
"Said it too fast"
Elizabeth nodded and thought for a moment
"Oh, anyway. We caught the thief"
John's eyes widened
"Who was it?"
Elizabeth smirked
"My head of security."
"Bates? That son-of-a-bitch"
"I've got a security team questioning him. If we ever establish a wormhole to Earth we've decided to send him through"
"Why was he doing it?"
Elizabeth shook her head.
"Something about, 'he was saving himself because Dr Weir will kill everyone because she'll keep looking after the Athosian's and not her own people.' I stopped listening after that"
John sighed
"I vote we feed him to a Wraith"
Elizabeth smirked
"Tempting"
She stood up, moved round to John, and sat in his lap. Not caring that the whole control room could see what they were doing. She lowered her mouth to his ear and whispered
"Anyway, about that reward…"
John smirked, then…
"…Dr Weir and Major Sheppard to the infirmary please"
Elizabeth groaned and reluctantly stood up, pulling John up with her.
Elizabeth and John entered the infirmary about 5 minutes later.
"What's the problem Carson?"
"Your Werewolf has turned back into a person and he's talking"
Beckett pointed to were the Werewolf man was.
"Can you understand me?"
The man said something to her in Ancient
"What did he say?"
"My Ancient isn't that good but from what I can understand he said that he's an experiment gone wrong. That the Ancients were trying to development something that could kill a Wraith that was on the Mainland. There was a complication and he became unable to follow commands while in his wolf state so they left him on the mainland for their own protection."
"That sounds harsh"
Elizabeth nodded
"He did kill the top scientist."
"Oh"
"I'm guessing the Wraith you saw him kill was the one he was made too destroy."
John nodded
"I'll get Rodney to check old Ancient texts and notes. They may be a way to reverse what was done to him"
Elizabeth nodded
"Until then, I think we should keep him locked up. For his safety as well as our own"
She stood up and left the infirmary taking John and Ford with her.
"Take security teams two and three and head back to the mainland; I want assurance that there are no more Wraiths'"
John stared at her
"The Mainland is the size of North America."
Elizabeth smirked
"Then you've got a lot of work to do. Listen secure the camp and the immediate area around it then until the rest of the Mainland is secure we'll put security personal to stay with the Athosian's"
John and Ford nodded
Two days later John walked into Elizabeth's office. It had been a long day on the Mainland and he just wanted to see her.
"The preliminary search of the Mainland has been done. No Wraith. Also Rodney has found some text referring to the Werewolf, he said it may take a while but he's hopeful he can reverse the process."
John looked at Elizabeth and realised she was only half listening to him
"What's wrong with you?"
Elizabeth looked up and smiled
"Would you be mad if I said I was tired?"
John smiled, walked round to her and pulled her out of the chair.
"No. First I'd ask if you've slept at all while I was on the Mainland then I would send you to bed."
Elizabeth smiled
"Care to join me…" He moved up to his ear, "…I haven't rewarded you yet."
John smirked
"Tempting, but the biggest reward for me is knowing that you're resting and relaxed"
Elizabeth smiled and lost herself in his eyes
"Will you stay with me?"
John kissed her forehead
"Yep."
Elizabeth moved up to his mouth and kissed him. Somehow he had a feeling that they may not be a lot of resting going on, but they'd be a lot of relaxing.
Fin…
A crap ending I know. I hope it all made sense. I'm really more proud of the fact I actually finished it. Please review.
