Chapter 16 – More Trouble

Teyla ran down the corridor watching the faces of everyone what ran pass her. People were scared! Teyla could hear the screams and cries of the Atlantis people and she was still some distance from the explosion.

"Quickly we need to get him to infirmary before the lad bleeds to death." Teyla hear the unmistakable sound of Carson's voice as he barked orders towards his medical staff. They were running towards her a young scientist on the stretcher a trail of blood running alone the corridor behind them.

"Carson" she shouted as the doctor drew closer.

"Teyla thank god I need your help!" Teyla ran alone side him so Carson didn't have to slow his pace.

"What can I do" she asked looking down at the poor man in desperate need of the doctor help. He's face was deathly white most likely from the lost of blood. Cason held a bundle of fabric what looked like his jacket to the scientist chest in an attempt to stop the bleeding, but it was of no use the blood still flowed free.

Within minutes they entered the infirmary Carson ordering the nurses to get the man straight into surgery.

She looked around at the scene which was before her. Every bed was full with people hurt from the blast, people who she knew and cared about.

The whole medical staff was working, rushing this way and that, trying to stop people from bleeding, stitching their wounds; it looked like a battle scene.

Looking over towards the glass window which lead to the operating theatres Teyla could see that every doctor was busy working a different patient many working on their own as nurses couldn't be spared. Some of the more serious cases had soldiers lending a handed, holding IV bag or passing equipment. Teyla did think she had ever seen as much blood as she could see now.

Further into the infirmary Teyla could see the unmistakable out line of body bags, so many had already lost there lives.

"Teyla." Carson called pulling Teyla from her thoughts. "I need you to take this." He handed her bag, Teyla looked at him unsure of what he meant for her to do.

"Carson?"

"It's full of medical supplies! There was too many injured Elizabeth is direction the minor injures to the mess hall I need you to get this to my nurses down there.

"Of course." she nodded leaving the infirmary quickly making her way towards the mess hall.

"I'll kill the bastard" John growled as he rounded the corner heading towards Kolya quarters, Ronan was close behind him.

"Not if I beat you too it."

The radios were back on line thanks to Rodney, but the power in most sections was still down. Rodney had managed to secure power in the gate room and infirmary but everywhere else was proving a little difficult.

Teyla had just radioed informing them that Elizabeth was sending minor injuries to the mess hall which was where she was headed now.

John wished he could just rewind time so he was back in bed with Teyla, instead of running down a corridor looking for a murdering psychopath.

"Sheppard" John was pulled from his thoughts as he turned to see what Ronan had seen. Lying on the floor was the security guard which had been posted outside the Genii's quarters.

"Is he ..." John didn't to ask the question but he needed to know. Watching as Ronan bent down placing his fingers to the officer's neck a feeling of dread flooded John's body.

"He's dead."

Teyla ran along the corridor, with power down in most of the city she was forced to take the long way missing out the transports and using the stairs.

"Elizabeth ..." Teyla breathed hard into her radio as she descended another set of stairs.

"Yes Teyla."

"I should be with you in about 3 minutes."

"Brilliant Teyla ... please hurry."

Teyla heard the plea in the doctor's voice summoning all the strength she had to quicken her pace.

Teyla saw the doors at the end of the corridor just through them down another set of stair and she would be at the mess hall. Coming to stop she palmed the door signal waiting for it to open; it didn't. They tried again but only received the same response.

"Rodney." Teyla spoke into her ear piece

"A little busy at the moment."

"I need to get supplies to the mess hall but the door is not opening, the only other way will take to long."

"Ok ok give me a minute ... "Teyla waited she could hear Rodney mumbling to himself on the other end of the line. "There's power in your section Teyla the door should be working."

Teyla tried the door again but still it did not open.

"Nothing Rodney!" she spoke a little frustrated

"Let me try from this end." another few moments of silence "Teyla it's jammed, looked towards the side of the door, the control panel there should be three crystals. If you move ..."

"There are only 2" Teyla spoke as she looked in the direction Rodney had told her.

"What!"

"There are two crystals Rodney."

"Well that can't be right ... someone must have moved the third crystal."

"Why would someone do that" Teyla asked the scientist but the line went dead before she could hear his answer.

"Rodney ..." no answer "John, Ronan ..." Still only silence "Elizabeth ... can anyone hear me?"

"I'm afraid that will be of no use my dear." The voice came from behind her Teyla knowing instantly who it belong to. "Now if you'd just come with us no one needs to get hurt."

Teyla turned slowly; Kolya and 3 of his men stood in front of her their weapons held pointing in her direction.

"People already have been hurt Kolya ... many have been killed because of you." she spat angrily. "Was this your plan all along?"

"No ..." Kolya answer calmly his voice giving away no emotion, his smug smile firmly plastered across his face. "I planned to take control of Atlantis but your suspicions have left me no choice."

"So what ... you try to destroy us." Kolya only laughed

"My dear, I never planned on destroying this city."

"A diversion! You set an explosion so no one would stop you from escaping; you killed many innocence people just to save yourself." Teyla couldn't believe how low this man could sink, he truly was evil. "So why are you still here, surly you've had enough time to escape"

"There is one more thing that must be done before we can leave." Teyla watched Kolya's face a feeling of dread feeling her body.

"You're after John ... your going to try and kill him." Teyla could feel a sickening feeling rise in her throat; she needed to warn John but how?

The radios were down and the door was locked. Assessing her situation she looked for a way out.

The door was locked, it was obvious that Kolya had moved the crystal preventing her escape that way, but she should be able to get passed the Genii leader and his men.

"Close my dear very close ... but you see I've found a better way to make the Colonel suffer."

"And what might that me." Teyla growled

"You!"

"He's gone ... that son of a bitch!!" John shouted "He set the explosion as a damn diversion. He's probably heading for the Stargate this instant."

Both he and Ronan had entered Kolya's quarters only to find them empty.

"Sheppard ..." Rodney voice sounded over the radio

"What is it McKay, we're got a bit of problem here."

"Well your about to have another one."

"Rodney."

"It's Teyla." John felt his heart dropped at the Athosian's name. Rodney must have it wrong she was in the mess hall helping with the injured. "Her radio's been cut, I can't reach her."

"You said powers crazy everywhere Rodney that doesn't mean she's in trouble."

"John" Rodney shouted down the line making John wince at the pain which shot through his ear. "Listen to me will you. She told me the door was stuck, but one of the crystals was removed. The detector shows 5 people in her immediate area ..."

John listened to Rodney but was unable to make anything out through his ranting.

"McKay slow down!"

"Just trust me John, she in trouble."

"Sheppard" Ronan spoke from his side "What if Kolya's gone for Teyla?"

"Why what would ..." John stopped mid sentence. Surly he wouldn't … not even Kolya could sink that low. "You said you saw his men spying on me after the briefing yesterday?"

"Yeah."

"And out side my room this morning."

"I bet his been watching you since he came through the gate, this was all just some plan to get back at you."

"No ... he wasn't watching me, he was watching Teyla." So many emotions were running through his body John was finding it hard to stay in control. Kolya had discovered the one thing which John wanted to keep from him; his feelings for Teyla. "He's going to use her to get to me."
