Another long chapter. enjoyChapter 3
"My God, does he ever shut up?" One of the Genii guards screamed as Rodney continued to blab on about something.
"No, he does not." McKay answered.
"Well maybe if I go and have a little fun with Dr. Weir, over there, you'll shut up." The guard laughed and walked over to Elizabeth's slightly more conscious form but Kolya stepped in front of him.
"You know I would like Dr. McKay to shut up as much as the next man, but Dr. Weir is off limits until Sheppard gets here."
"John?" Elizabeth asked sleepily. "John!"
"It's alright Elizabeth, he'll be here soon enough." Kolya mocked as he twisted one of her curls in his finger. She tried to pull away but Kolya grabbed her chin to make her look at him. "I wouldn't make me angry, Dr. Weir. While I only want to cause Sheppard pain I'm not opposed to making it more painful for you."
"What do you want?" Weir asked, becoming progressively more lucid and hoping to understand the situation better.
"Revenge. He killed my men and made a fool of me."
That was enough for Rodney. "You childish, little pompish, snot-nosed…umph!" He was cut off as a guard rammed the butt of his gun into Rodney's stomach.
"So Liz, how do you feel about me?" Kolya brought his face close to her to ask the question and she could feel his warm breath on her face.
"Go to Hell." Elizabeth said and spat on him. Elizabeth let out a yelp as she smacked her.
"Now that's not very diplomatic of you Dr. Weir. I've always heard you were so personable but I also always guess that underneath there, there is a real women with so much rage…" He tasted every word he said relishing in the fact that he was making Dr. Elizabeth Weir's blood boil.
"So what should I do to truly torment you while I make Major Sheppard suffer?" As he said this he noticed her resolve completely change when he mentioned Sheppard. "Oh! What is that I see? Has the Atlantean leader fallen for her military commander?"
Elizabeth knew she couldn't keep the emotion from her face. She looked away and tried to calm herself. It's not like he cares for you in that way. Don't let Kolya torture you over something you only wished existed.
Elizabeth straightened up and looked him right in the eye with her best unbaised face. "I care no more for Major Sheppard than for anyone else on my expedition."
"Oh but Dr. Weir, we both know that's not true, whether he returns the affection or not." Kolya smiled. He paused, thinking. "I have a wonderful idea for the two of you."
Two guards untied Elizabeth and pulled her to her feet. They pushed her out of the room leaving Teyla, McKay, and Ford to wonder if they would ever see either John or Elizabeth again.
Major Sheppard crouched down behind a crate on M7S-295 staring at his life signs detector. While he knew full well that it was a trap, Kolya was far too smart to leave a gate address, John didn't care. He had to get his team back and more importantly he had to get Elizabeth back.
Sheppard tapped his radio and whispered. "I've got 10 life signs in a room located in the middle of the complex. Bates, Laylind, take up the rear and everyone keep your eyes open for anything fishy. Move out."
Sheppard, with his gun raised, quietly moved down the hallway. Why did I let Elizabeth come? And why did I walk away from her? If Kolya does anything to her I'll…I'll. Ok remember she's you're boss and that's why you should feel this way, John. Or at least that's the official reason you feel this way.
Sheppard stopped and signaled for his team to follow suit. There was movement in the room. Four people had left and were moving quickly down a hallway deeper into the complex. Once the four were far enough away, Sheppard motioned for his team to move forward. Silently they went through the maze of hallways until they were outside the room which now housed six life signs.
"Three people have not moved during are approach and they are sitting in the north corner of the room. Assume they are ours. Set to stun just in case. Let's go!"
Sheppard kicked down the door and quickly scanned the room. There were two guards standing around Teyla, Rodney, and Ford and one, which had spun around abruptly when Sheppard kicked open the door, was only five feet to Sheppard's left. Unfortunately that guard got off the first shot and hit Sheppard in his right arm just as John stunned him. One of the other guards got a shot off before he and the other guard were stunned.
"My God Sheppard, what took you…"
"Where's Elizabeth?" Sheppard questioned after he realized she wasn't in the room. Oh no, was she one of those four?
Teyla answered. "Major, she and Kolya left a minute ago but I suggest you wait because he hinted that he would set a trap for…"
"Laylind. Hayes. Come with me. Everyone else return to the gate." John commanded before sprinting out of the room, gun at the ready. He stared at his life signs detector for guidance as Laylind and Hayes sprinted after him.
The four life signs John saw leave the room earlier were now deeper in the complex. John ran at full speed, knowing he was making too much noise, but not caring. As they came closer he slowed. The four had stopped in the middle of an intersection of two hallways and Sheppard directed Laylind and Hayes to surround the four from the other hallway.
John slowly approached but ignored the voice in his head that was screaming that it was too easy. He didn't care he needed to get Elizabeth back.
In the blink of an eye the situation did a 'one-eighty'. Laylind and Hayes were down, presumably dead, and Sheppard was surround by at least 15 Genii soldiers. Sheppard lowered his weapon knowing it was futile to fight. One of the soldiers took away his tactical vest and any other weapons John had. His hazel eyes finally fell upon Elizabeth who stood beside Kolya with her mouth gagged. Kolya chuckled as he saw where Sheppard was looking and he stepped forward to get John's attention.
"Major Sheppard, I'm surprised at you. I would have expected much more. But I bet you're wondering why you didn't detect my men on your approach. Well, we have created new technology which allows us to select who is shown on your life signs detector." Kolya grinned evilly. "So Major Sheppard, why have you been so reckless to save Dr. Weir?"
Kolya asked roughly pulling Elizabeth up next to him. Elizabeth tried to reassure John she was aright but he wouldn't look at her. His eyes remained trained on Kolya. "Of course I understand the need to save one's leader but it almost seems unproductive to throw yourself into a situation you know nothing about. Maybe there's something more to this relationship that you would like to explain Sheppard. Better yet, explain it to her."
Kolya untied Elizabeth's gag and pushed her forward, throwing her off balance. John dropped his gun and, as it clattered loudly on the ground, he caught Elizabeth in his arms.
"I'm sorry Elizabeth." John whispered.
"No, John, don't…" Elizabeth said looking up into his eyes.
"No, John, don't," Kolya mocked, "don't blame yourself Sheppard. I mean she is very pretty."
Elizabeth could feel John holding back the urge to explode at Kolya as Kolya taunted him. She tried to calm him but she was not sure he could endure much more of this without a outburst.
"So what is it about her that makes her different Major? The way her hair curls, the way she walks, her smile, or is it the way that infamous tight red shirt fits around her…"
"Kolya, you son of a bitch!" John screamed breaking his grip on Elizabeth and making a beeline for Kolya, fists raised. Before he could reach Kolya he was hit hard in the shoulder with a gun.
"John!' Elizabeth shouted as he felt to the floor gripping his should but a pair of hands held her back from running to his side.
"Tut, tut, tut." Kolya clicked with his tongue. "Major Sheppard, I thought you were at least going to make this a little bit hard.
Sheppard slowly got up and looked Kolya in the eye. "What do you want?"
"I want you to suffer." Kolya spat.
"Fine but let Dr. Weir leave. You and I both know she has nothing to do with this.'
Kolya laughed. "Don't think you're getting off so easy. In the beginning I thought I would need you're whole team but anyone can see by your ridiculously foolish behavior today that you care for Lizzie a bit too much."
John's eyes filled with rage, try as he might to hide it. He'd failed because he had wanted so badly to succeed; to save her. Kolya flashed one last grin at John before brushing past him.
"Move out." Kolya yelled as he pulled Elizabeth up beside him while John walked behind, surrounded by guards.
Kolya pulled Elizabeth closer and whispered. "Thank you for making this much more fun Elizabeth."
