“so men just came and took Teyla?” Woolsey asked, leaning forward in his chair in the conference room at Stargate Command. “You know that her disappearance could compromise the location of Atlantis--”
“I don’t care about Atlantis,” John interrupted, his voice cold. “We need to find Teyla.”
Sensing Sheppard’s agitation, Woolsey calmed down. “All right, let’s go back with what we do know. You and Teyla were being followed by an unknown subject for at least two hours, right?”
“Yes, and we tried to get back to the car when she was taken by two different men.” John felt a wave of guilt pass over him. “The search for the SUV was a bust,” he said sullenly.
“Maybe not,” Rodney said, walking in the room with Ronon.
The two men turned to look at him.
“San Francisco has traffic cams set up throughout the city. We got access to the footage and I finally managed to find what we are looking for,” Rodney explained.
“Actually Zelenka--” Ronon started.
“It doesn’t matter who found it,” Rodney said, cutting him off. “There was an SUV picked up leaving Chinatown at about the time you said Teyla was taken. We tracked it to here.” He pointed at his tablet. “It’s down by the docks. We couldn’t track their specific location because the traffic cams don’t go that far.”
John stood up. “We need to get down there.”
Rodney exchanged a glance with Ronon. “There’s something you should know.”
“We know who took Teyla,” Ronon said.
John looked at Ronon. He couldn‘t wait to get his hands on who took Teyla. “Who?”
Rodney tapped his tablet a couple of times to get the grainy image from the traffic cam loaded and held it up for everyone in the room to see.
“Bates,” John muttered.
“I’m not sure why he would take her,” Rodney replied.
“Actually,” Woolsey said awkwardly, “I have an idea. About a month after Atlantis arrived on Earth, Mr. Bates has been AWOL. We believe he has been working with the Trust.”
