"I am way past careful! Now you know what the deal is, and it's a damn good one, so take it or leave it!" Elizabeth exclaimed.

Pernum glared at her once more before leaving her alone with the guard. They stared at one another for a few minutes and finally he moved closer to Elizabeth. She could smell alcohol on the man’s breath as he leered at her.

“Excuse me,” she said, hoping she didn’t sound too nervous. Since his only response was brushing his hands across her chest, she kicked him in the groin. The man grunted, but didn’t fall over.

He grabbed a handful of her hair, kissing her roughly on the lips. Elizabeth squirmed under his grasp. “I like a woman with spirit!” he said with a laugh.

Elizabeth pushed down her fear and shoved the man on to the floor. Just as he was about to get up and lunge at her, the door opened and Pernum entered. “What is going on here?” he asked, glaring at the guard. “Bryce?”

Since the man didn’t reply, Pernum looked over at Elizabeth. She was breathing heavily and her face was ashen. “He attacked me,” she replied.

“Leave Bryce. I will deal with you later.” The man did so and Pernum eyed her in concern. “Are you all right?” he asked.

It was a little odd to see concern on the man’s face, but just nodded in response. “Have you made your decision?”

“Straight to the point, I can do that. Yes, we’ve agreed to your terms, Dr. Weir. We expect a full report if you survive the attack.”

Elizabeth nodded. “Of course.”

************

Elizabeth was lost in thought as she headed down to the infirmary to check on the injured members of her expedition team. She kept thinking about her encounter with the Genii guard Bryce. The look in his eyes, his lips pressing down on hers, his hands all over…

“Let go of me!” she cried when arms grabbed her. She heard an ‘oof’ and blinked, realizing she was safe within the walls of Atlantis.

“Damn, what was that for?”

Elizabeth blushed, kneeling next to her second in command. “John, are you all right?”

“I’ve been better,” he replied. Although she could tell his voice had raised an octave. “The question is, are you all right?”

She helped him to his feet, trying to figure out a way out of this. Somehow she didn’t think there was anything she could say to convince him otherwise. “Well, I…”

“Yeah?”

“I was just thinking back to my trip to the Genii homeworld.”

John grinned. “I guess I could see why you would want to kick them where it hurts the most.” He looked over at Elizabeth to see her spacing out again. “Hey,” he said. “Elizabeth?”

She blinked. “John?”

“What’s wrong?”

Suddenly Elizabeth felt extremely vulnerable and she just wanted to run to her quarters. She felt like such an idiot for feeling like that. “John, I…”

“Something happened when you where over there. Tell me.”

“No, it’s not a big deal. I’m fine,” she replied, resuming her walk. This time she decided against the infirmary and was heading for her quarters.

John followed her, trying to figure out what went wrong. “Elizabeth, you’re not fine. You freaked out when I ran into you and you keep spacing out. If you don’t talk to me about it, then I’ll take you to see Carson.”

“Well isn’t this the pot calling the kettle black.”

“Ha ha,” John replied, crossing his arms. “Are you going to answer me or make fun of me?”

Elizabeth shrugged. “The latter sounds more fun.”

“Elizabeth.”

“Fine,” she said with a sigh. “One of the guards attacked me. He tried to force himself on me.”

John was stunned to say the least. “Bastard,” he muttered. “But you’re fine. He didn’t…”

“No. Pernum came back in time.”

“You should at least get checked out by Carson."

"No, John, really I'm fine. I'm just a little jumpy."

He nodded. "Maybe you should talk to Heightmeyer."

"Maybe I will."

"Are you sure you'll..."

Elizabeth smiled as she interrupted him. "Trust me. I'll be fine. If I have any more problems I will talk with Dr. Heightmeyer. Right now I'm going to my quarters to get some sleep."

Before he could reply, she had slipped into her quarters.
