“You said they were friendly!” John yelled at Rodney in between bursts of gunfire as they fell in behind a fallen tree, where Ronon and Keller had taken cover just a few yards from the gate.
“I really don’t think that now is the appropriate time for this discussion.” Rodney had managed to get himself tucked completely behind a tree, to the point that he was now all but lying on his gun. “Do you?”
Ignoring Rodney’s last remark John scanned the stand of trees near the gate and guessed it would only be a matter of minutes before the small group of armed men surrounded them and cut off their access to the gate. It was at that moment that he looked over at Ronon and noticed that he’d torn off the sleeve of his shirt and was wrapping it around the lower half of Keller’s leg. “What happened?”
“She got hit,” was Ronon’s short reply.
John guessed that Keller was in too much pain to answer, despite the fact that she was doing her best not to show it. “Rodney, dial the gate.”
“Why me?”
“Fine, Ronon can dial the gate. We’ll cover him and you can carry Keller through.” John stopped talking long enough to spray the thick covering of trees with bullets in hope of holding off their attackers long enough for them to make it home.
“I’ll get the gate.”
“You do that.” John said as he watched Rodney make a break for the gate before turning his attention back to the approaching villagers. “As soon as Rodney gets the gate open take Keller and I’ll cover you.”

GateRoom, Atlantis - Tuesday 14:06
“We need a medical team.” Colonel Carter called as she started down the stairs toward Ronon and Jennifer. “I thought you said it was just a leg wound?”
“It is,” Jen drew in a deep breath, up until now she had been to scared to look at her own leg, too far away from help if it was worse than she thought. Now she was back on Atlantis and it was finally safe for her to look down. It took a few moments for her eyes to register what she was seeing, the growing pool of blood at her feet and only seconds later she felt Ronon’s hand release her waist just before he hit the floor. “Its not my blood.” Jen said her voice almost a whisper. “Its not my blood.”
