Chapter One: The Meeting
Detective Shanahan lay awake watching the thunder and rain out the window. He looked over at his girlfriend and hugged her close breathing in her smell in contentment. Pete remembered the night's activities and smiled like a chestier cat. While he was reminiscing his cell phone started ringing to his annoyance. He looked at the caller I.D. and saw the words 'PRIVATE', "Damn, not right now!" Pete muttered to himself looking out the window at the rain. The phone rang a 4th time and he answered "Snipers bar & Grill: If you run you only die tired!" The voice on the other end replied "Not if I walk"! Pete smiled with an evil grin knowing what was coming next. The voice on the other said "Meet at the broken tree near the run down bridge in the park, 0415hrs on the dot!" and hung up without further instructions.
Pete sighed as he looked from the Red head lying on his shoulder to the window hating to wake her from her peaceful slumber. "Hey babe, we have to get up" Pete said as he gently nudged her awake. The woman woke smiling up at him and kissed him fully on the lips. "Did the Running Man call?" she asked with a frown hearing the rain hitting the bedroom window. "Yes he did and I think he hates me" Pete said with a funny grin while sitting up to get out of bed. The red head followed suite letting Pete take in her figure as thunder lit up the room. "Why do you think he hates you baby" as she walked around the bed taking his hands in hers. Pete let her lead him to the shower as he explained his theory "I believe he thinks I'm overweight and in need of exercise so he makes me run" he said with a smirk. His girlfriend just laughed and said "If he only knew how much you EXERCISED we might be able to meet in better places" as they got lost in the moment.
Meanwhile not far away a non descriptive van Major Carter, Sergeant Sophia Rogers and Teal'c sat in the surveillance van watching the monitors. Major Carter in general was more focused on her commanding officer playing with a yellow yoyo that she gave him for his birthday a couple of years back. That was before they had a argument over the worthiness of Pete Shanahan causing tension in their relationship. Sam gently touched the screen where Jacks face was unconsciously. This action was not lost on Teal'c or Sergeant Rogers. They both nodded knowing that both Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter had feeling for each other. Sergeant Rogers spoke up first "Major, are you okay? You seem like you're at the Land of the Light". Startled Sam turns and looks at her companions with a worried face briefly then straightens up "I'm just feeling a little tired is all" she replied dryly.
Teal'c was about to offer his observation when he caught a hand signal on the monitor from Staff Sergeant Ronald "Lurch" Nantze. "Osiris has arrived" pointing at the screen showing Osiris host, Sara Gardner, standing over Daniel. Sam turned to her screen showing Jack getting his tranquilizer gun ready. Major Carter was reminded of Jacks ideal. It was simple and brilliant at the same time; weaponizes the "Night walker" serum! She smiled at that memory because at the time they were playing paint ball with SG-3 and kicking some Marine butt at the time. Major Carter and her surveillance team perked up and got ready. Sergeant Rogers contacted the perimeter teams while Teal'c let O'Neill know they were ready. Major Carter contacted the SGC informing the night base commander of their situation.

0400hrs: Pete and Jessie (think of Jessica Simpson with red hair and 5'2") arrived at their meeting point along Pikes Peak Gateway. The rain had stopped about 0330hrs just after they finished their shower. The pair exited Jessie's red convertible Mustang and went in separate directions. Pete ran along the deserted running path for about 10 minutes' until he stopped by a bridge and fallen tree in the stream. While he caught his breath he looked around to see if he was followed. He heard the approach of another runner waiting to see if it was the "Running Man". The runnier approached Pete in a black and grey outfit and stood about 6' tall with short black hair, he looked around 50 and very fit for his age. The Running Man stopped near Pete nodding his head to him. Pete nodded back setting a red flash drive on the railing. The Running Man set a green one on his side. The two runner's switched sides picking up the flash drives they each set down. Once that was done they nodded and went back in the directions they came from. Jessie had just finished putting a large black case in the trunk of her car when Pete came jogging up. "Our handler did the same as always. He just gave me a nod. No words or verbal instructions." as he leaned on the mustang to rest. "Well, it's a good thing you have the next four days off because we're going hunting again!" Jessie said with an evil smile. Pete stood up and took her in his arms and kissed her passionately then whispering in her ear "I love you and I can't say it enough." Jessie smiled and responded "Let's get back and see what were hunting then take another shower, were sweaty again." He smiled taking the keys from her. They both got in the car. The pair left in hurry slashing water on an unseen sleeping homeless man.
