Once again: I don't own SG:A. I was completely surprised by the reviews I got in my email this morning! It made me giggle with happiness. Then blush because I giggled. Anyway, onward ho!

"So," Grodin started, sitting beside Sheppard in Carson's vacated office. "You remembered about Zelenka. That's good."

"How is that good? I just saw my friend die a painful death."

Grodin shook his head, "I told you, Colonel, he's not dead. He's just...waiting..."

"For what?" Sheppard asked exasperated. He groaned when Grodin shook his head. "Well, if you can't tell me that, what can you tell me?"

"You need to remember before Zelenka died. What happened?"

Sheppard thought hard, his face scrunching slightly with the effort. "We were preparing for the Genii."

"Why?" Grodin prompted.

"They sent us a message."

"Yes. What did it say?"

"That they were coming. For me."

"Mmhmm. Then what?"

"It was a few hours later when I was told to come to the infirmary. I thought it was weird that i was the only one called."

"And then what?"

Sheppard concentrated harder but then sighed, "I don't remember. It's just blank."

He could see the slight disappointment on Grodin's face, but the Englishman said nothing except, "You remember. Just try," and then he left Sheppard alone in the Scotsman's office.

"Nurse! I need a defibrillator!" he heard Beckett yell from the main part of the infirmary.

"Defibrillator?" a nurse asked in confusion.

"Yes! Hurry! He's going into cardiac arrest!"

"But...wait..."

He could hear the annoyance in Beckett's voice, "will ye jus' do asI say!"

Sheppard narrowed his eyes, "Wait a second. I remember that..."

"Will ye jus' do asI say?"

Sheppard arrived at Beckett's door only to find he didn't want to go in with him yelling like this.

"No!" Oh, Lord. Who would argue with Carson when he was like this? "Please, doctor, trust me. This will work."

Wait, he knew that voice. He opened the door silently.

"Radek, this is not a good idea. Do you know all that could go wrong?"

"Is nothing compared to what we would lose if they got the major."

"Colonel," he said automatically, drawing their attention to him.

"Sorry," Zelenka said softly.

Sheppard shrugged, "What's going on?"

Beckett turned angry again after having deflated when Sheppard walked in. "This daftie here has the brilliant idea of killin' himself to save ye!"

"Hey!" Zelenka said defensively, "I plan on killing him, too"

"What?" Sheppard asked in shock.

"Ooch, it's nae permanent but there's no telling wha' sorta damage this could do."

"You know," Sheppard smiled, "Your accent gets thicker when you're angry."

Beckett turned, slightly red, "Is this really the time? And yer nae worried, lad?"

Sheppard shrugged, "Well, I am slightly worried about the whole 'dying' thing. But you said it wasn't permanent."

"Oh, my kingdom for a man who doesn't do something like this on Atlantis."

"Kavanagh."

"I take it back. Alright, Zelenka. I'll do it. It'll hurt. I have no idea of the side effects. Have you spoken to Weir?"

"No! We can't! The Genii have been know to torture. We can't tell anybody. You will have to do this to someone else. During the attack. To make the Genii believe our story."
