Part 10

On Zakmus.

Keller is still running with Major Main. She is out of breath. They arrive near the waterfall. She stumbles on a tree root, falls along with the Major and they roll on the floor to the water. She gets up, still out of breath, and helps the Major to get up but can't. She looks around and takes the P90 on the floor. She aims at where the wraiths are coming from.

--------------------------------------------------

In the cave where Shepp and his team are. They hear P90 and get up in a rush.

SALIMA: (To Palus) Palus, take Neyla and Joan with you. (He nods and leaves)
SHEPP: We're going too.
SALIMA: No, Colonel, you're staying here.
SHEPP: The hell I am! (He points at the outside, another sound of P90) This is the sound of a P90 gun, one of our weapons! This could be one of my men out there!
SALIMA: There could be wraiths too.
SHEPP: I'm taking my chances!
SALIMA: It could be a trap, Colonel.
SHEPP: Then give us back our guns! (She hesitates) I'm not asking Salima!!
Keller is still firing at the wraiths. One of them is down. She tries to fire again but the gun stops. She is out of ammunitions. She panics. She looks at the other 2 wraiths coming at her. She gets down to protect Major Main with her body and closes her eyes. She hears 9mm gunshots. She waits, still, eyes closed and hands tight on the Major.
SHEPP: (Comes to her) Jennifer! (He puts his hand on her shoulder, she is not moving) Jennifer, it's me, John!
KELLER: (Opens her eyes, crying. She looks at him, still in shock) Colonel Sheppard?
SHEPP: It's ok, you're safe now. (He looks at Main on the floor, unconscious) Is he...
KELLER: He's alive. But we lost Corporal Reeves. (Shepp stops to think, sad)
SHEPP: Come on, we need to go. (He signs at Kapp who comes with Palus to take Major Main. Shepp helps Keller to walk)
KELLER: Is Rodney with you?
SHEPP: No...

They arrive in the cave. She sees Radek, who comes to her.

ZELENKA: Jennifer! (He takes her in his arms)
KELLER: Radek, you're alive. (Dr Kim arrives) Doctor Kim.
KIM: Doctor Keller, I'm so glad to see you.
KELLER : (Looks behind her and sees Dr Saline) Is that an Eratus bug on Doctor Saline? (Dr Kim nods)
SHEPP: It came out of nowhere.
KELLER: How long has he been unconscious?
SHEPP: (Hesitates) 3 hours. (Keller sighs) We're losing him, aren't we?
KELLER: Can't they help him?
SHEPP: To be honest... I'm not sure they even want to.
KELLER: What do you mean?
KIM: They know more about Eratus than they're willing to share. They keep whispering about it.
KELLER: (Pauses) I'll see what I can do.
SHEPP: Thanks.
