Notes: See part one
Rodney had completed his scans of the room and was just about to leave when he decided to make one last pass of the room
There had to be something in here that the Ancients were so determined to protect. Never mind the fact that they still hadn't figured out how the Winchesters arrived.
Rodney placed his laptop down on the floor and made a slow circle of the room. They had reset the lights in the hall but the room was still dark enough that it required a flashlight.
Rodney moved along the walls, examining section by section. As he moved by the far corner Rodney's flashlight beam bounced across a familiar tile. Cautiously Rodney used the handle of his flashlight and pushed the tile. As the tile began to descend into the wall Rodney quickly backpedaled not wanting to be caught up in any more Ancient security devices.
So engrossed in what was happening before him McKay barely heard his radio crackle to life.
"Sheppard to McKay."
The tile stopped moving and the wall slid back revealing a small room.
"Sheppard to McKay."
Rodney ignored John's call as he aimed his flashlight into the room. What he saw, amazed him.
"Sheppard to Mckay, you alive down there?"
"Yeah, and you need to get down here ASAP."Rodney replied as he took a tentative step into the room. "I found how Vision Boy and his brother got here."
In the infirmary John glanced over at Ronon who nodded.
"Go, I'll keep an eye on them."
"Thanks."Sheppard replied as he left and picked up his own radio. "Sheppard to Weir. I'm headed down to check on McKay he says he's found something interesting. Ronon's watching our guests."
"Acknowledged.'Elizabeth said. "Keep me posted."
"Will do."
Sam's breath hitched in his throat as he pulled the chair closer to Dean's bed.
"Dean, I'm sorry."Sam began as he struggled to keep the tears at bay. "If I had thought for a second that taking us to Maine and inadvertedly here would've put you in jeopardy I never would've done it.
I just don't understand……if you're right and the demons reneged because we came to Atlantis why isn't the other part of the deal happening? Why am I still alive? Did they change the deal? Or did you make another one?"
Sam looked at his brother's pale face and felt the tears begin to flow. "Damn it, Dean. I need you to fight them. I need you to stay with me long enough for me to figure a way out of this. I can't believe it's going to end this way…..after everything. I refuse to believe it. So that's why I need you to fight so I can find a way…..there has to be a way….I won't lose you…..not now…..it's too soon……too soon."
