Stargate SG-1 & Atlantis - Far Horizons (37 page)

“Getting me here to help you with the Chair since you are obviously not capable of doing it yourself,” Radek said. “Also I thought you were handling the jumper. What are you doing here?”

“You didn’t answer your radio and the Chair was still offline so I thought you were dead or something,” Rodney said. “It took you long enough to get here. Did you get lost?”

“I did not get lost,” Radek snapped. “I was pursued by the Wraith. Fortunately I ran into some Athosians who escorted me here. And where have you been?”

Rodney knelt down beside the naquadah generator. “I was in the rest room.”

“Well, that is obviously so important,” Radek retorted, doing his best to needle Rodney and thereby keep his attention. “While I was being pursued by Wraith, you have been loafing around.” He caught T.J.’s eye over Rodney’s head, a gesture he hoped conveyed everything he could not say in front of Rodney. “Thank you for the assistance. It is greatly appreciated.”

“Sure thing, doc,” Jinto said, edging Lt. Draper back into the hallway, since she was the one most likely to attract Rodney’s attention in her science jacket.

T.J. followed, meeting his eyes and nodding as formally as Teyla. Everything Radek wanted to ask him must remain unsaid, every question that begged for attention. He would never know — no, yes he would. It would take many years for all of his questions to be answered, but he knew now that they would be. He would survive this siege. And he would have decades to learn Atlantis’ secrets.

“I’ll see you around,” he said with a smile, and put his trust in the future.
