Happy?!!!! 12:40 p.m. Beverly-Longwood High School After clearing it with Mr. Foley, the principal, Scully and Mulder made their way up to the second floor of the building. Amy, they were informed, usually spent her free time in one of the school's computer labs. Arriving at the classroom door, they saw that there were a lot of girls sitting at the terminals. The two agents recognized Amy immediately from the pictures of her they had seen at her house. Scully, in her usual role of "bad cop", called to the girl with a stern voice. "Amy, we need to speak with you about something." Amy, dressed in a brown and cream outfit that made the most of her heavyset figure, swung around from the printer to face Scully and Mulder. The two agents suddenly understood what Amy's grandfather meant when he talked about her looking right through a person. Though Amy's eyes were ordinary brown, they were piercing in their intensive gaze. The agents began to squirm under that forthright look. "Well, well, well. I've been expecting the two of you. But I'll play along. What is it you want to talk to me about?" "I think you already know." Mulder said. "Unfortunately, I do." The girl collected her things and walked out of the classroom. "Why don't we find some place where we can talk?" said Mulder. "There's no place like that around here, Agent Mulder," the girl replied. "How did you know my name?" "I just knew." She reminded him of the Eves in that moment and he exchanged a look with Scully. Amy, caught the train of their thoughts and was quick to reassure them. "I'm not a thing like them. They were psycho." The agents looked at her, astonished that she had read their thoughts so accurately. Amy smiled at them, amused by the myriad thoughts running through their heads. "I think you've come closest to the truth, Agent Scully." Scully looked at Amy strangely. "I am something like little Gibson Praise, but not really. Let's find a place to talk and I'll see if I can explain some of it." The three of them set off in search of a private place. Finding an empty classroom, they walked in and sat down. "Well, Amy, why don't you start with that remark about Gibson and we'll work from there." Scully said. "Well, as Agent Mulder knows, Gibson is one the first successful alien-human hybrids. His mental capabilities are far beyond human comprehension. The difference between Gibson and I is that I am not a hybridization. I'm pure human. The consortium knows nothing about me, and I'd like to keep it that way. If they were to find out, I'd be a dead man walking. Death is not on my agenda any time soon." The two agents were blown away by her statement. How could this seventeen year old girl know about Gibson and the hybridization and the Consortium? They sat there in stunned silence. Mulder recovered first. "Does that mean that you know the whole of the truth?" "What do you think, Agent Mulder?" "Will you tell me, please?" "I can't." "Why not?" "Because I'm marked for death by a psychopath who, unfortunately, shares most of my abilities. He knows the things I know, and he'll use that knowledge to become another Krycek, selling his secrets to the highest bidder. And I won't tell you because there is a time and a place for everything. You just can't go about shouting everything you know from the rooftops. Discretion is the better part of valor. You should know that by now, Agent Mulder." "What exactly do you mean by that?" "I mean that getting yourself killed is not going to be the best thing if that elusive thing known as the truth is going to get out. And dragging Agent Scully around and nearly getting her killed is definitely not the greatest thing either. Just be patient. All your hard work isn't for nought. Well, we have a psycho to catch." Amy perched on a desk and looked at them with an open expression. "Can you give us a desription of the man?" Scully asked the girl. "I can't." "Can't or won't?" "Can't. You see, I'm not looking at him, but rather, through him. You know, I see what he sees, like I'm looking out through his eyes." "Well, can you tell us where he's at now?" The girl concentrated for a bit and the she spoke. "It's dark. It looks like a basement of sorts. Um, he's doing something with his hands. He's turning a page, like a book page. Music is playing. It's a violin. He's playing a violin. There's light now. The whole place is flooded with light. And he's in the center of it. Alone. Just him and his violin." "Is he on a stage?" Scully asked. "It's still a little hazy. He's caught up in his playing. The musical strains are filling his head. It's Vivaldi. Wait. He's stopped playing. He's looking around for somebody. Oh, shit." "What is it? What's wrong?" Mulder inquired excitedly. "He's aware of me." "Get out of there, Amy." Mulder said. "I can't. He won't let me." Amy's brown eyes began filling with tears. She sat stock still and a horrrified expression of pain came over her face. Mulder went over to the girl and shook her out of his mental grasp. Her eyes focused on his. Amy jumped down from the desk and began to walk out of the room. "Where are you going?" Mulder asked. "Look, I can't help you anymore." "Why?" "If you'd seen and felt the things I just did, you wouldn't ask me that." "Don't you want him to face justice?" Scully asked. "What makes you think there's any such thing as justice?" Amy said tartly. The her tone and expression softened. "Look, I want justice as much as you do, but he threatened my family, my friends. And I won't risk them. It's all my fault that they're even in danger. I just won't put them in danger." She paused slightly. "I know what you're thinking and I am nothing like Agent Mulder. The things that are happening really are my fault. I just won't risk their lives when I don't have to." She paused again. "Don't you get it?!! I won't!" Soon the building began to shake and they heard a low rumble. The door of the classroom suddenly slammed shut. Desks began moving around of their own volition. The blinds on the windows shook and rattled. As they crashed to the floor, the windows shattered. The chalkboard fell to the floor and split in twain. Amy ran to the door, wrenched it open and ran down the hall. The noise and trembling subsided quickly. Mulder and Scully stood amidst the wreckage looking around. "Scully?" "Yes?" "Pinch me."
