The strength to carry on

She didn't know what they were doing that night, other than walking up and down the street.  Her instinct told her they searched for something or someone, and Janie didn't want to think about the why or who.  Instead, she thought back to her friends and family.  Sam would probably like it if she got doggie treats, since he seemed to love Peavey.  She already had a stash of new things for Lynn, and a guitar for Julian.  But what would she get Phoenix?  Wankers were always the hardest to shop for.

A scream interrupted her thoughts, and Janie looked up to see a woman aiming a gun at a man.  Two of Ori's people.  They were figingt because of Janie, because she had been working so hard at turning them against each other.  The couple wasn't even one she'd been working on.  She thought they might make good agents at one point, because they were loyal and seemed to want to do the right thing.  They weren't on board with how Ori and Ella ran the compound.

Now, the woman was ready to shoot her lover, who apparently betrayed her with another woman and revealed to Ella that she was about to leave.

Janie watched as Ella hurried the couple away, and shuddered to think of what would happen to them.  It was her fault.  Janie wanted to go back home and stop tearing things apart for Ella.  She missed her family, and her work, and she wasn't even sure it was worth tearing apart anymore.

"Target located"  said one of the male Time Patrol.  "Janie looked up, and saw that they had a weapon aimed at another young man.  Without thinking, she pushed the patrolman aside, ruining his aim.

"Miss!  The target-"

"We didn't even give him a chance!  You were just going to kill him.  When did that rule change?"

"Ori changed that two years before she disappeared."

"Miss, it's too late to worry about the target's fate."

Janie turned, and then ran to the person on the ground.  Memories flooded her head and she found herself pressing on the bullet wound, on this young mans chest.  They couldn't keep doing this...  she had to stop them.  She had to help this young man first.

The rest happened in a blur.  The man somehow recovered, the man who shot him was now dead, and Janie was being carried back to the fortress.  Apparently someone else left, and the Target managed to escape.

They were down to 5 time patrol agents, and 7 other employees  Janie knew 3 time patrol and five employees were on their way out,  She was almost done.
