Author's Summary:
John went A.W.O.L. after a mission in Afghanistan. A few years later, a chance meeting with a certain Dr. Rodney McKay leads to nothing but trouble. And possibly redemption.
Why This Must Be Read:
I love when O'Neill collects Sentinels, including John. In the process of saving Rodney from a Trust kidnapping, John becomes involved in SGC and unintentionally leads a hidden System Lord to the Mountain. But Jack's there to help save the day!
"Well, Major Sheppard," General O'Neill said over the tinny speakers, his voice wry, "I have to say you're looking pretty spry for a dead man."
Rodney watched the major's eyebrows twitch but otherwise, he didn't react. Rodney found it hard to tell from where he was sitting in the observation booth, but it appeared as if Sheppard were staring directly at the scuffed table top.
The general opened a folder. "Got nothing to say? About your completely contradictory alive state?"
"Just that you're wrong about that." Sheppard said, nodding at the folder, "I really am a dead man if that's what I think it is."
"Oh, really?" O'Neill leaned back. "Why's that, I wonder."
"Because you did a query on me, and I know I've been flagged to high heaven by that son of a bitch. He's already got someone on their way to finish me." Sheppard didn't sound particularly concerned about his pronouncement, just tired.
"I'm guessing you're talking about," O'Neill consulted the sheet in front of him, "Brigadier General Gustafson, retired. Your old C.O."
"You say 'retired' like that makes a goddamned bit of difference." The disheveled man raised his head finally from his examination of the table and met O'Neill's eyes directly. "But he'll kill everyone on this base to get to me, General. Starting with you if necessary.
"Like I said: no need to update my file. I'm already dead."
