Chapter 15

It didn't take long for John to explain everything he knew to Elizabeth which wasn't a whole lot more that she already knew. She was impressed by how well he had managed to live since he had gone on the run. So far he hadn't asked anyone for help and had remained completely undetected even when he was following her.

They had quickly gone down to the nearest store, John wearing his glasses and baseball cap to hide his face. He had kept his head down whilst Elizabeth had bought them both some food and they had made their way back to the warehouse where they had spent the last few hours talking.

"Oh my God, what time is it?" Elizabeth asked and John glanced at his watch whilst finishing his burger.

"12.30," he told her.

"I have to call my partner," she stated and John looked at her warily. "Ronon will know I'm missing by now, I need to tell him I'm fine. I won't say where we are," she explained and John handed her a cell phone that had some small advice attached to it.

"Less than ten minutes," he informed her and she looked at the phone.

"So that's why I could never trace your calls."

"Yep, took me half a day to get hold of."

Elizabeth nodded her head as she dialled Ronon's number and listened to the ringing tone for several moments before he picked up.

"Dex."

"Ronon, it's me," Elizabeth stated.

"Thank God. Where the hell are you?" he asked and she could here the relief in his voice. "I thought Kolya had gone after you or something."

"He did," Elizabeth informed him. "I got into a fight with him, he knocked me out and threw me in the river," she summarised and there was a pause on the other end of the line.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Detective Sheppard saved me…I'm with him now."

"He's there?" Ronon asked sounding worried.

"Relax Ronon, he saved my life remember."

"Yeah, well… thank him for me."

"Ronon says thank you," Elizabeth told John who looked at her with a hint of amusement as she went back to her conversation with Ronon. "Anyway, I'm going to stay here with Sheppard for now and see what I can do from here. Is detective Emmagan with you?"

"No, she's in her office going through some reports for the kidnapping case she and Sheppard were working on."

"Well find her and don't let her out of your sight, Kolya told me he's not finished with her yet. Work on this with her and see what you can find out on your end."

"Will do, be careful."

"You too, I'll call you when I can," Elizabeth told him before she hung up and handed the phone back to John.

Ronon slumped down in the chair opposite Teyla, the one that actually belonged to John but was recently occupied only by Ronon. He looked tired but clearly less worried than he had been since they had arrived that morning to discover his partner missing.

"Elizabeth is fine," he stated.

"How do you know that?" she asked curiously.

"She called me; apparently Kolya did in fact attack her, knocked her out and threw her in the river."

"Oh my God, is she okay?"

Ronon smiled for the first time that day. "She's fine, Sheppard saved her."

Now it was Teyla's turn to smile. "They're both okay?"

"Yeah, Elizabeth's going to work with him to try and find Kolya whilst we continue to work from here," Ronon told her and her smile widened as she leant back in her chair. It felt as though a huge amount of the weight she had been carrying on her shoulders over the past week had been lifted. She knew for sure that John was alive and well and still the same old John if he was rescuing people. Not only that but they now had both the FBI Agents on their side. She was no longer completely alone in this.

Kolya watched the man enter his garage and start to work on his motorcycle. He was a bald, middle-aged man and perfect for what Kolya had planned. With Agent Weir out of the way he could ensure the investigation got back on track. He also had to get rid of Detective Emmagan but he would deal with her soon enough. Right now he had other things to take care of.

It was time to send Sheppard a message, to set the final parts of his plan in motion that would complete his revenge.
