John frowned as he looked around, his hands resting on his P-90. He remembered that Kade had mentioned at the picnic that there was a rogue Sangui clan, but he hadn't gone into detail. Why had they gone rogue? And what would attacking the Lykaios get them? Were they trying to start a war with the Sangui? With the galaxy?
Reaching over when Evan started to get agitated, he rested his hand on his shoulder. "It'll be all right. We'll go--."
Before he could finish, they all heard the gunfire and ran out of the hut. When they found Latro but not Kyri, John could see that that Evan was fighting hard to stay calm. Especially when he found the body of the Genii.
"Wait. The Genii? What the hell is going on?" John asked. "What do you mean they've done this before?"
Latro sighed and raked his hand through his hair. "When Kyri and Kaevan were children, the Genii came to our world with the express purpose of kidnapping Lykaio to brainwash and train as hunting pets," he told them. "They thought that us being normally human would give an advantage in intelligence. Kyri saw her parents - my brother and his wife - captured. We ran them off with the help of some Sangui, but those who had been taken were presumed dead when the Genii blew up their cage vehicle to keep us from getting to it before they disappeared through the Gate."
John blew air out through his teeth and looked over at Evan. "So they're back again, but Sangui are helping them this time."
"We have to find Kyri," Latro said, swallowing hard. "If they break her..."
"They went this way," Ronon said, pointing into the woods with his gun.
Sure enough, there were some broken branches. However, Ronon stopped about a hundred yards later and looked around.
