Rating: PG
Author: seramercury
Characters: John, Carson
John made his way through the darkness, pausing at the noise behind him. Looking around, he took cover behind the tall tree next to him. Peering around one side, he was surprised when he was yanked from the other.
Nice job, John, he thought to himself. Knowing Ronon would have picked on him endlessly for letting someone getting the drop on him.
John's arm was pulled behind him hard. "Just a friend of Jervis."
Before John could even say a word, he was flying through the air and into the river with a splash. The water was freezing and tasted like dead fish. Luckily he was able to surface fairly quickly.
John coughed as he swam to shore and pulling himself out. His friend seemed to have disappeared. Glancing at his watch, John realized he had to get back to the others quickly.
"Damn JervASS!" he muttered, running back to the cave.

Carson was passing one of the corridors near his quarters when he heard some heavy duty coughing. He headed in that direction to find John holding his chest and practically coughing up a lung.
"Colonel!" he said, rushing to his friend's side.
After a few minutes, John's coughing eased and he stood up. Carson could see that his eyes were bright with fever and his skin was clammy. "Would you believe me if I told you I was heading to the infirmary?" John asked.
"Not in the slightest, Colonel," Carson replied, taking John by the arm. "How long have you been feeling like this?"
"Since last night," John admitted.
"This happened off world, didn't it? Teyla said you seemed to be soaking wet when you returned to the cave."
John nodded knowing it'd be wouldn't do him any good to lie about it. "One of Jervis' friends tossed me into the river. It was freezing. I'm half surprised no one said I smelled like fish."
"Colonel," Carson said with a sigh as the entered the infirmary. "When you're tossed into an alien river, could you please let someone know? One can only imagine what's been festering in there."
Instead of replying, John began coughing again. It took him a good five minutes before he was finished. "Damn," he groaned, clutching his ribs again.
"Lets get you settled, Colonel. You'll feel better once you're in bed and the nurses are taking care of you."
Carson chuckled at John's grin. "Yes, nurses. Bring 'em on, Doc!"
