Truths and Decisions 1/6
by Yvonne Schwarz
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Scully left the room. She had never felt so lonely. Lonely and guilty. She told
the people in the meeting that Mulder's work had been for nothing. She didn't
know why she told that to all those people, the same ones Mulder once thought
were involved in a conspiracy. Scully couldn't believe all this. She trusted
Mulder more than anyone else. And now he's gone, dead by his own hand, killed
himself with his own gun. Scully walked towards the elevators, she wanted to go
in "their" office.
She had to continue his work. She owed him this.
"Agent Scully!" Skinner saw her going to the elevators and walked quickly to
her.
"Agent Scully. How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine, Sir"
"Scully, I'm very sorry about what happenend. You should take some days off."
"No, Sir. I have to work."
"Why are you doing this?"
"Sir, I don' t understand."
"God, Scully, why do you want to work?"
"I---I owe him this," she almost cried..
"You owe him nothing Scully. He killed himself with his own gun. You don't have
to blame yourself. It is absolutely not your fault."
Scully winced as if he hurt her. And then she felt the blood flowing down from
her nose to her lip. She searched for a tissue, but found none.
<Shit, why are they never there, when I really need them?>
Skinner fished through his pockets and came up with a tissue, handing it
to her.
"Here, take this."
"Thanks." She put the tissue under the nose and wipping away the blood. Luckily
the bleeding stopped sooner than usual. She looked embarrassingly on the floor.
"I'm fine, Sir, really."
"Stop babbling Scully. I order you to take rest. Now!"
She nooded, she was too tired to argument with him. The cancer was growing and
she felt much worser than three weeks ago.
Skinner laid one hand on her shoulder and said:
"I am sorry Agent Scully, that you have to go through this."
Then he walked away. Scully walked to her car. She didn't know where to drive.
Nothing made a sense. Nothing. Her best friend killed himself and she was dying
too. It just didn't make any sense. She started to drive.

S.C. Blevins was the last one to leave the room. Everything worked perfectly. It
was only a matter of time until The X-Files would be closed. Blevins walked to
his office. He recognized the man sitting in the chair behind his desk.
"How did it go?" asked the man.
"Everything is okay now. She believed everything. She told us everything." He
said proudly.
"Well, that's good."
The man made a cigarette on.
"What about her cancer?" Blevins asked.
"Uh-Agent Scully will die. And no one will ever believe that it is our fault."
The man with the cigarette answered with a smile.
"Okay. What do we do next?" Blevins asked again.
"You have to close The X-Files as soon as possible."
"Hm, that's a problem. We had to let her work, that she believed the lie."
"No problem. Agent Scully won't be able to continue long. The cancer is growing,
almost in her bloodstream."
"What about Mulder?"
"Agent Mulder is in a hidden place. Don't worry about him. Mulder is my
subject."
The man cut him angrily off and walked out.

Mulder couldn't remember how he came to be inside the empty chamber. The only
thing he could remeber was as he had been sitting on his sofa: crying. Crying
for himseld, his foolish quest, for Sam and mostly for Scully.
Scully, he remembered as she told him that `they ` gave her the cancer to make
him believe. Everything was his fault. She didn't say it. But he saw it in her
eyes, the way she looked at him.
He remembered sittinmg there, crying and there had been a knock on the door.
Scully, he had thought first. But he couldn't remember who had been at the
door.
It was gone.
Gone and now he was sitting in a chamber in the darkness. Alone.
Something was wrong, he knew that. He guessed that someone kidnapped him. But
who? And what about Scully? Was she OK?
Suddenly he heard footsteps. And the door opened. A man came in.
"I see you are awake Agent Mulder." He said.
"Guess so. But what the hell am I doing here?"
"Think about it Mr. Mulder. You're an clever man. And believe me, you have time
to think, a lot of time to think."
"What do you mean, a lot of time? If you kidnapped me, my partner will search
forme." He smiled wryly. His partner.
"Believe me, your pretty partner won't search for you. She and everyone else
thinks you are dead."
"Dead?"
"Yeah, you killed yourself with a bullet to your head. Spooky Mulder killed
himself last night. It's sooo sad, isn't it?" He laughed.
"Noooo!!!!!" Mulder lost control and attacked the big man in front of
him. But he had no chance. The man took him on his shoulder and threw him easily
against the wall.
"Don't try that again, Mulder. Or your death will become a reality."
Then Mulder lost conscienceness.
The man walked out of the chamber where Mulder was held and into a room next to
iz. He faced four other men in the room.
"Gentlemen, he reacted as expected."
"Good." Said a man with a cigarette.
"What do you plan next Director Skinner?" asked another man.
"Next, we have to make sure that Agent Scully won't do anything."
"I talked to her doctor on the phone, he said there is no chance that she'll
survive now." said the Smoking man.
"Sirs, my sister is with my mother at the moment. My mother told me that she is
very sick, she won't do anything."
"Ok, Mr. Scully, Gentlemen. We'll begin to drug Mulder tomorrow until he can't
remember his own name." Said Blevins, who had been quiet until now.
"Anyone of us had to stay here and keep an eye on him."
"I'll do it." Said Skinner.
"You are sure?"
"Of course"

Truths and Decisions 2/6

Disclaimer and this stuff see part 1

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Scully was in her room at her mother's house. She came to her mother, crying and
now 3 hours later, the tears stopped. Her mother took her in her arms as she
arrived, she knew of the death of Mulder from Skinner who had called her
because he worried about Scully. Now Scully was alone. She had had 3 or 4
nosebleedings, her pillow nearly red. She had cried out her pain, her guilty,
everything. Dana. You're still alive, maybe not for long, but you're alive, use
your life. But how, without a man beside me with spooky theories?
She smiled wryly. She laid there a few minutes, trying not to think about him.
It didn't work.
All you need is a shower and you'll feel like newborn.
Good idea!
She walked to the bathroom. A look in the mirror reflected her dirty face.
Swollen, puffy eyes and her red nose. You look like hell Dana.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When Skinner was sure that he was alone, he entered the chamber that held Mulder
captive. As he opened the door, he saw that Mulder was still unconscious.
Skinner went to him and began to wake him up.
"Mulder, Agent Mulder wake up, immediately."
"What, Skinner? You? Oh my God, O dreamed I got kidnapped in
a.................Jesus, it wasn't a dream."
"Mulder I have to tell you something. Just be quiet and listen very carefully."
"Hm, I----OK."
"Mulder, you have been kidnapped by a conspiracy which I am in too. Don't speak
now, let me explain first. We....these men are trying to hide information from
the world population. And you are one of their biggest enemies because you are
trying to bring out the truth. Now you've found out the secret, that what
Kritschgau told you were lies. Well, some of it was true, but most parts were
lies. I can't tell you the truth because they'll kill both of us then. But I
have to tell you that your sister is alive. She remembers you, but she thinks
you are dead. She is here in D.C.. After they took her, they performed some
tests with her she became useless and they brought her to live with another
family in L.A. She heard from a men that you were here in DC, so she came to
find you. She's been searching for you as long as you've been searching for her,
Mulder. Mulder, they'll drug you tomorrow so heavily that you won't remember her
or anyone else. I have to get you out of here immediately."
Mulder's mouth had fallen open, as he heard what Skinner just told. A Thousand
thoughts went through his head. His sister was alive, he could see her. But then
he thought suddenly about another person, a person he needed to be able to go
through this.
"Where is Scully?"
Skinner looked to the floor.
"Mulder, I am sorry, but Scully's cancer is growing faster than anyone
expected."
"What? Don't tell me that she is dying."
"Sorry, but she is."
"No, this must be a dream. Let me wake up!!" He screamed.
"Come on Mulder. We have to go, we'll go to your sister." Skinner tried to
change to subject.
"Where is Sam?"
"She is in a motel. She's expecting you."
"You said you'd get me out of here. Why?"
Skinner swallowed hard.
"Because I can't live with that lie. I had to tell you the truth. And I know how
much you cares for Scully and for Samantha."
"Should I thank you? You've lied me for so long. I've always trusted you and you
lied to me. But you're giving me Samatha. Thank you. But I want Scully with me
when I see Samantha."
"Don't you understand Mulder? They're watching Scully at every move she makes.
You can't go to her. You have to leave with Samantha. Take her out of the
country. You'll have new names. Fox Mulder is dead." Skinner shouted at him
angrily.
"But...."
"No buts. If you don't do this, you're going to die right here in this chamber."
"Ok, I `ll do it. But you have to do something for me. You have to tell Scully
the truth. Please."
"Ok, I'll tell her, Mulder. You have to go alone. If they find an empty
chamber, they'll know that I told you and we are all dead. Hit me and leave me
here and it'll look like you escaped."
"I have to go alone?"
"Yeah, come on. Here is the address of Sam's motel. We have to hurry."
"Thanks again."
"Good luck Mulder."
Mulder placed one hand on Skinner's shoulder and drew back the other in a fist.
He swung with all his might, hitting the mark, Skinner's jawline. Skinner
dropped like a sack of potatoes. Somewhere, deep inside, maybe because of the
lies, Mulder enjoyed doing that.
Leaving Skinner unconscious, he found his way out and located Skinner's car. He
pulled out, heading for the address that would probably change his life.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After the shower Scully went downstairs to her mother. Mrs. Scully was in the
livingroom, reading a book.
"Honey, come to me."
Scully went to her mother and Mrs. Scully hugged her tightly. Scully started to
cry again.
"Shsh," said Maggie Scully gently, " you are going tobe fine."
"No, Mum." Scully cried, "I'll never be fine again. Mum, he killed himself, he
left me alone. And I-I am dying too."
More tears were coming. Maggie tried to calm her daughter. She knew how much
Dana had cared for him. She knew that it was very hard for her daughter.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

3 miles ahead of the motel.
Mulder stopped the car. Everything was happening too fast. A little more than 3
days ago, he had Scully and an almost normal life. Now, he'll be seeing his
sister in just a few minutes an losing his best friend.
Mulder needed to tell her how he felt. Scully had always been there for
him. Always. And this is how he's to thank her? By leaving her die alone, in her
last weeks. Mulder turned the car. He had to see Scully, he didn't care if
anyone saw him. He didn't care if they would kill him. The only thing
he cared about was seeing Scully.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Bill Scully didn't trust Skinner. And he was pretty sure that Skinner had
something in mind. So he had installed a bug in Mulder's chamber and had heard
everything.
Now, here he was, sitting in his car, following Mulder. He'd heard the
conversation between Mulder and Skinner. Damn bastard. I will kill you
Skinner, he thought angrily. He had watched Mulder leave the building. He had
call Belvins, he has to knaw that Skinner btryed them. He dialed the number of
Blevins.
"Hello."
"Blevins, this is Bill."
"Bill, what's wrong?"
"Listen I am following Mulder."
"What?"
"Let me finish. I had a feeling that Skinner planned something and I was
right."
"What did he?"
"He told Mulder about our plan. He helped him to escape."
"Oh my God."
"You have to go and take of Skinner."
"Ok, I am on my way."
"I'll follow Mulder and informe the others."
"Ok."
He hung up. Mulder was a car ahead of him. Suddenly, he pulled off the road to
a parking lot and sat there. Ten minutes later Mulder headed out again, this
time in the direction of Baltimore.
He is going to my sister. Shit, I can't kill him infront of my own mother and
sister. Can I?
Yeah, maybe I can. I'll tell Dana and mum that this is a clone, sent to kill
them. Yeah, it might just work.
Dana would belive it and Mom doesn't know better.
I can do this.
With a devilish smile, he followed Mulder's car.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

End of part 2.

Disclaimer and this stuff in part 1

Mulder was almost there. He was too anxious to see Scully again though he was
afraid.
Afraid that she wouldn't believe that it is really him. He parked the car in
front of Mrs. Scully's house . He was too nervous to notice the car that pulled
up a moment later and parked a few meters behind his. He went to the door and
rang the bell..

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mrs. Scully's eyes widened as she saw him in front of her. Mulder! He had a
bruise over his nose and one of his eyes was swollen, but he seemed to be
healthy and of course he was alive.
"Fox!!" she cried out and fell in his arms.
"Mrs. Scully." He murmured as he hugged her tightly. She pulled away.
"What happened Fox? They told me you were dead ."
"I am alive. What they told you was a lie."
"Oh my God. You surely want to see Dana."
"Yes. Is she Okay?"
"Well, she will be when she sees you. But please come inside, she is in
the living room."
"Thanks." He went in the house as Mrs. Scully closed the door. She paused as ahe
watched him head slowly for the livingroom, then she decided to go upstairs to
her bedroom. She knew that their needed time in private.

Mulder knocked on the door and went in. Scully was sitting on the sofa. At first
Mulder
was shocked as he saw her. Her eyes were red and puffy, under her nose was
encrusted blood. Her face was pale.
"Scully." He said.
"Mulder---Mulder?" she stood up and went to him.
"Mulder, is that really you?" her voice was only whisper.
"Yeah, no clone, no alien. Just the Spooky Mulder. Hey Scully should we pick out
china patterns or what?" he smiled.
She managed an "Oh God." And then nothing and no one could order her to stop.
She fell in his arms. Mulder wrapped his arms around her, burrying his face in
her hair.
"Scully, I missed you so much."
"Mulder , what happened? I thought that was you in your apartment." she said,
still in his arms.
"A long story. I was kidnapped. Skinner is somehow involved. Along with several
men . I don't know who it was in my apartment. Scully, Skinner gave me
the adress of Samantha. She is here in D.C.!
"What? Mulder, are you sure?"
"I'm pretty damn sure."
Scully just stared at him. Samantha is here in D.C. and he is not with his
sister? He came to her first?
"Why didn't you go to her first?"
"I-I wanted to see you. Skinner told me that your cancer is growing. Why didn't
you tell me?"
"I---I....."
"Stop Dana. He is not who you think he is. Get away from him."
Bill Scully burst in the room with a gun in his hands. Scully was confused.
She was still in Mulder's arms.
"Bill, what the hell is going on here?" she asked, distracted.
"Move away from him!" Bill shouted.
Mulder recognized the man from the chamber immediately. He couldn't believe he
was Scully's brother. This was a big problem.
Scully moved a couple of steps away from Mulder. Mrs. Scully upon hearing her
son's angry voice, entered the room.
"What's going on? Bill, what are you doing?"
"Mum, please, this isn't Mulder. It's a clone. I have to kill this person."
"No, where do you know this isn't Mulder?" asked Scully, scared.
"Sorry, but it's really me." said Mulder to his defense, " I know you know
that. You're here to kill me because it's a part of your plan."
"Mulder, what the hell are you saying?" asked Scully again.
"Sis, please, further away so I can kill this liar. Mum, Dana, don't
believe him."
"Bill, it is Mulder, I am sure." Scully said.
"It's a clone. I have to shoot him."
"You put the bug in the chamber, that's the only reason why you know where I'll
go. Did you kill my sister yet?" Mulder said in a angry voice.
"God, you are a really good story-teller Spooky."
"Really, where is Skinner?"
"Skinner? Never heard of him."
"CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN ME WHAT` S GOING ON HERE?" Scully interrupted their
conversation.
"Scully. I'm sorry, but your brother is involved in this conspiracy."
"Mulder, do have a fever?"
"Yeah, he has. You are right Dana, he..."
Suddenly two men burst into the room, brandishing weapons. Maggie ran to
Dana and took her hand.
"Bill, what the hell is going now?" Maggie asked, scared.
"Mum, there are my friends. We'll take the fake Mulder." Bill explained.
"No, this is the true Mulder I know it. I am sure he is." Screamed Scully.
"Yeah Bill, you won't make your sister worry, will you?" said Mulder to Bill and
to Scully
"Scully, it's really me. Trust me Scully. You can ask me anything I'll know it,
because I am the true Mulder."
"Don't believe him." Shouted Bill and towards his friends "Take him!"
Mulder knew that the only chance got out was to escaped. He began to run,
knocking Bill off his feet who'd been too surprised to react. The other men
began to shoot,
but he was out of the house quickly. When he reached the car, he realized
Scully
had followed him.
"Scully, what.............Get in the car."
They had no time for long discussions.
Mulder started the car and drove off. He saw the three men coming out of the
house, followed by Bill. He seemed to be very angry and shouted at the men. Then
he
drove around a curve and were out of sight.
Mulder sighed, he was glad he and Scully were out of the house.
"Mulder." Whispered Scully. Mulder looked at her, she looked paler.
<She is in shock.> he thought.
"Scully, I know exactly what you are thinking. Please believe me, it's me. Trust
me please." he begged.
She held his gaze and then she said:
"Okay, I believe you and I do trust you. You know I always have."
"I know Scully and I am gradeful for that."
He took her hand and squeezed gently.
"Oh God, Mulder, my mum is with these men." She cried.
"They won't do her anything to her. She knows nothing. They won't hurt her.
Don't
worry."
He squeezed her hand tighter, wishing he could hold her.
"Are you sure?" she looked with tearful eyes to him.
"Yeah. Remember Scully, he is your brother, he won't hurt his own mother."
"Now, tell me the story, I want to know what my brother has to do with
this."
"I'll tell you all I know." And he told her the story, Skinner had relayed to
him. He finished
with:
And I think your brother is one of these men. I'm sorry Scully. But that's what
Skinner had told me and I believe him."
Scully's eyes widened as she listened. She couldn't believe
it, her brother, a part of this conspiracy? Kidnapping Mulder? Hidding the truth
from Mulder was one thing but hidding it from her? His own sister? Bill had
wanted her to believe that
Mulder's dead. She began to sob. She laid her head on Mulder's shoulder as he
slipped one arm around her. She closed her eyes, still sobbing.
"Shshsh" soothed Mulder gently." I know exactly what you are going through."
She began to calm with Mulder's soothing words and fell asleep with her head
on his shoulder.
Mulder soothed his partner and drove with one hand. Luckily, the rushhour was
over in DC and there was only the `usual' traffic there. He could tell by her
even breathing that Scully had fallen asleep. It was hard a hard thing to
deal with the fact that a close member of the family was involved in such
things. His own father was in this conspiracy too.
Sam's location was nearing. Just another fifteen minutes. Mulder felt his
stomach churning with anxiety. This time he could go to her. But they would all
nedd a safe place to go and he knew who to ask for this place.
He took his hand from Scully's shoulder.
"Hm, another minute, Mom." She murmed sleepy.
"It's Ok, Dana, sleep." He smiled.
At least, until know, she has no nightmares, he
thought. He took his cell phone and dialed a number.
"Hello?"
"Langley? It's me!"
"Oh, the spooky Mulder. What's up?"
"Langley, I need your help. Can the others hear me?"
"One moment, Mulder. Yeah, they can hear you now."
"Ok, look guys. Do any of you know a safe house where no one can find me,
Scully and my sister?"
"Your sister? Mulder you have Samantha?"
"Not yet, but I think I will in a couple of minutes."
"You'll tell us the story, won't you?"
Of course I will. But do you have a place?"
"Yes, Froihke has an address for you. Listen. 1703 Blousstreet in Bayard. Do
you have it?"
"Yeah, thanks."
"Anytime, Mulder."
Mulder hung the phone up just as he pulled in front of the motel. He took a deep
breath.
"Scully, Scully. Wake up." He laid one hand on her cheek.
"Scully! Dana! Wake up!"
And Scully opened her eyes slowly.
"Mulder?"
"Are you all right?"
"I'm fine Mulder. Are we there? Is this were you sister is?"
"Yes." She looked at him and she saw the fear in his eyes.
"Come on Mulder, I'm here. I come with you. Mulder it's the only chance you
have to find her. I'm pretty sure that they're following us. We've to hurry.
I'll be with you."
"Yeah, you're right."
They stepped out of the car and looked for the room number, Skinner
had given Mulder. Before he knocked, Scully took Mulder's hand. He glanced down
at her, seeing the `I am there'look.
He knocked.

Bill went back in the house. He was angry, Mulder had knocked him down.
<This son of a bitch is clever, he manipulated my sis and my mum>
Maggie Scully was still in the livingroom. She was in shock, everything was
happening fast. She didn't know what was going on here, but she trusted her
daughter and her son.
"Bill, please tell me, why did Dana leave with Fox?" She begged.
"Mum, everything is going to be fine, believe me. Go in your bedroom, I'll give
you something that you can sleep. You are in a shock." He said gently.
"No, Bill. I....!
"Mum, will you go upstairs in your bed? Okay!" He yelled.
"But Bill......."
"Mum, go."
"Ok, ok." She winced, she was tired, but she wanted to know. She needed some
rest.

The other men stepped in as Mrs. Scully went upstairs.
"Mr. Scully, what will we do now?" One man asked.
"Do you have the drug that we were going to use on Mulder?"
"Of course, if you mean the drug that takes wawy the memory."
"Yeah, go and get it. I need it for my mother. Only a small dosage, that she
won't remember this."
"Ok."
One minute later.
Bill had the injection. He went to his mother.
"Mum, you'll sleep after I gave you this. OK?"
"Yes. Thanks Bill. But please find Dana and Fox."
"Yeah, I promise I'll find them." He said with a devil smile, "and now sleep."
He gave her the injection and closed ther door after he went out. Downstairs
were the men.
"OK, guys. Luckily I put a bug on his car. We'll find and kill him."
"Fine, let's go."
And the three men went out of the house, heading for Bill's car.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The door opened quickly. Mulder's eyes widened as he saw Samanatha. He was damn
sure that it was her. She had brown long hair. Green eyes like himself. She was
a bit taller than Mulder.
<That's her.> Scully thought. She didn't know why she was so sure, she could
feel it somehow.
She looked at Mulder and saw him starring at Samantha. She knew that he felt the
same.
But he couldn't speak and Samantha was starrind at him also. Now it was Scully's
turn to speak.
"Hi, I am Dana Scully, this is Fox Mulder." < Oh God, how stupid.> She thought.
"Hi, my name is Samantha Harrisson." She said still starring at Mulder. And now
Mulder reacted. He took Sam's hand. They were lookung in each other eyes and
then they both began to cry and fell in each other arms.
Scully could feel tears running down from her eyes too. <Oh God, he found her,
his search is over. He can live happy now.>
After afew minutes, Sam and Mulder pulled away. Sam spoke first.
"Jesus, I found you. You are my big brother, I can feel it. You are Fox." They
were still crying.
"I found you, my search, my quest , everything is finished."
"I have so much to tell you." She said.
" Me too, but we have to go to a safe house. Get your things please. We have to
hurry."
"Why?"
"I'll explain you in the car."
"Okay."
Sam rushed back into the room.
"Scully."
"Mulder." They spoke both at the same time. Scully smiled. Mulder saw that she
had cried too. He opened his arms and Scully hugged him tightly.
"I am glad that you found her, Mulder."
"I know Scully, I'm happy too. I can't tell you how long I've waited for that
moment. I'm glad you are staying with me."
"I'll be there every time, you know."
"Yeah, I could never have made it without you. Thanks."
"Nothing to thank, Mulder."
Then they pulled away and looked in each other's eyes.
"Hey, am I interrupting soemthing?"
Mulder heard Sam's voice.
"No." They both said.
Sam laughed.
"I have my things, I am ready."
"Good, we'll go to a safe house and then we can talk." Mulder replied as they
headed for the car.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The three men rode in silence with Bill at the wheel. He checked the monitor and
saw that Mulder's car was at the hotel.
< He is with his sister. We can catch both at the same time. Good>

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Where are we going?" asked Sam.
"Friends of mine have a house in Maryland, we can stay there till we find a
solution for this."
"Why do you have to hide us?"
"That's a long story. I'll tell you later."
"Hm."

Scully listened to Sam and Mulder's conversation. She was really happy that
shewas there to see them together.
But she grew tired. <Oh, Dana, your cancer is growing fast. You just can't stay
awake for so long.> She closed her eyes, ready to sleep. But she heard Mulder's
scared voice.
"Scully, Scully....."
"Hm, I'm fine Mulder, I'm only tired."
"Scully your nose is bleeding."
"Oh-----"
"Her is a tissue." .
Scully was feeling sick. That are five nose bleeds today, Dana, she thought to
herself.
Mulder felt that she was afraid. He took the tissue with one hand and started
wipping the blood away, while driving with the other.
Samantha sat in the car and said nothing, she was clever enough not to ask any
questions, not now.
Mulder was afraid, really afraid. He felt that he would lose Scully if he
doesn't do anything.
"Mulder, it's OK. I am going to be fine." She said with a shaken voice.
"Sh, Scully. I know." He said gently. The bleeding stopped and Mulder put the
tissue away. He touched her cheek and stroked it soothingly
Scully closed her eyes again and fell asleep soon.
Mulder took his hand away, when Scully slipped into sleep. He sighed.
"Fox?" Sam spoke quietly.
"Hm."
"What's wrong with her?" She asked quietly.
"She has cancer, it's a tumor in her brain. And now it's moving to her
bloodstream and when it's there she will die soon. The doc said last week that
she has only 3 or 4 weeks to live." He explained and he couldn't hide the tears.
"Sam. I'll lose her and there's almost nothing I can do about it." Now he was
crying. Sam laid a hand on his shoulder.
"It's Ok." She soothed him. "She means a lot to you. She is your partner, isn't
she?"
"Yes she is my partner. The only one I trust. Without her I wouldn't have found
you. She was the only one who completely believed in my search for you. She is
always there for me. She's my strength. I need her."
"You love her?"
"Yeah, I guess I love her, she's more than a partner and a good friend. She is
my best friend, no matter what I owe her so much."
"Fox, I am sorry about this. Really sorry."
"Thanks. I have a chance to get the cure for her."
"How?"
"Sam, I have to tell you something. It's a long story. Listen. Scully ans I have
worked on the X-Files. Well first I worked alone and they sent me Scullly to
find a way to close The X-Files. But Scully and I became a team. While we were
working on the paranormal cases, we found out that there is a conspiracy of men.
The men are keeping information or truths from the population. One of the men is
a man who always smokes. Sam, Our father had been in this conspiracy too."
"What?"
"Yeah, it is probably his fault that they took you."
"Oh God."
"Sam, do you remember anything on this tests?"
"Hm, I don't know. I remember a light and several men, but that's all. Why do
you want to know?"
"Because if we could prove that the Cigarette-Smoking-Man was involved in this,
he'll give us the cure for Scully and we have to promise him that you won't tell
the truth."
"No, I can't remember exactly. I'm sorry."
"It's ok. We'll find another way to get the cure for Scully. She won't die." He
said with force. And then he added
"Well, we are almost there, only a few minutes."

Bill saw on the monitor that Mulder's car was heading away from the motel.
<Shit!> he thought. He noticed that it was headed toward Maryland and Bill was
15 minutes behind him. <I'll get you, if it's the last thing I do.>

"We're here." Mulder said happily.
"Nice house." Samantha was impressed. The house was small and it was in a small
forest. Lonely. No one would notice them. Mulder stepped out of the car and said
told Sam to look under the door mat to find the key.
"I'll take Scully." He added.
"Ok!"
Sam found the key and unlocked the door, stepping in. <Nice.>
Mulder came in with a sleeping Scully in his arms.
"Did you find a bedroom?" He asked.
"No." She opened the door next to a bathroom and found a bedroom with a double
bed.
"Fox, here!" she said, not too loud.
Mulder walked in the bedroom and laid Scully carefully on the bed, covering
her with a sheet. Scully didn't awake. Mulder kissed her on her forehead. He let
the door ajar and went to the kitchen where Sam was making coffee.
"Is she still asleep?"
"Yeah."
"How you are you doing?"
"Me?" He smiled.
"Why are you smiling?"
"Uh-because you are like Scully."
"Me?"
"Yeah, she always asks me if I am Okay?" He smiled wryly.
"Oh, I didn't know." Sam said and the she added, "if you want to talk about----"
"No," he interrupted her,"I don't want to talk about Scully's cancer or about
this stuff. You have to know that I can't talk to anyone about my feelings.
Scully wanted to talk sometimes too, but I can't."
"Fox, you have to talk. I don't know how close you two are. But I am your sister
and I can feel that there is a strong bond between you two. She is dying Fox.
You have to tell her what you are feeling."
Mulder winced. <She is dying.>
"I know I should. When she is awake, OK?"
"Yeah and now we have to talk." She squeezed his hand.
"Good idea."
They began talking about their lifes, Mulder told her about the conspiracy,
his life, their parents.
Suddenly they heard a scream. Mulder's blood froze, it was Scully who screamed.
He sprang up and ran to the bedroom. Scully was sitting upright. She was
shaking, her hair was disheveled. Tears running down on her cheek, blood coming
from her nose. But the worst of all was her scream.
"HELP MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
Mulder flew to her and took her in his arms. She clung to him on his lap
and he rocked her like a child. Sam left the room, she wanted to let them their
privacy.
Scully's head was on his shoulder and he soothed her with calming words and
stroked her cheek till the tears stopped.
"Sh Scully, I'm here." He said gently. Her breath became normal again, but she
didn't want to pull away from his safety embrace.
"Mulder, I'm sorry."
"There is nothing you need to be sorry for. Nothing is your fault, Scully. You
know I'm always there for you."
"But you've your sister now."
"Yeah, I have her, but I need you as much as I needed you before. I don't want
to lose you."
"I promise I won't give up, but at the moment everything is too much. I haven't
had the time to think about everything."
"Scully, it's ok, we all need some rest. Come, I'll let you sleep."
"No," she said, "I can't sleep. I'm fine Mulder. I need a shower and then I'll
be fine again."
"Scully---"
"No, please Mulder, believe me I can't sleep."
"Okay, what ever you want. Go and take a shower. I'm in the living room."
He went to the kitchen, Scully sat on the bed for another moment and walked then
to the bathroom. She knew she had to rest, she was tired, but at the moment she
knew that the last thing she wanted to have was one of the nightmares.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Bill was almost there. It costed him so long to drive to Bayard because in
D.C. they had been involved in a traffic jam. It was almost 10 p.m. He ordered
his chief, the Smoking man, to come to the house two hours ago. He wanted him to
see Mulder and Sam dying. The cancer was killing his sister, so he hadn't to do
this.
Almost there.
Bill's phone rang, he reached for it.
"Hello."
"Bill it's me. Blevins."
"Hi."
"Listen, John Loenguard just called me to tell you that he can't come to you
till tomorrow."
"Blevins-"
"No, he will meet you tomorrw morning at 9 a.m."
"Where?"
"In Elemenstreet 1303."
"Ok, but why can't the smoking bastard come?"
"He didn't tell me."
"Typical. What about Skinner?"
"A.D. Skinner won't be a problem to us any longer."
"Good." Bill smiled.
"Bill, I ordered you three hotel rooms in the `Living-longer-Motel'! You can
sleep there. The adress is 4142 Smothyingstreet.
Do you have it?"
"Yeah, thanks."
He hang up. He turned to the men in the passenger.
"We have to wait till tomorrow. Our boss can't come earlier. We'll sleep in
a motel, okay?"
"Yeah!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Scully felt better after the shower. As she dried her hair, she took a look in
the
mirror. She looked terrible and felt the same.
She was tired again, but she was afraid to sleep. Afraid of the nightmares.
She flipped of the light in the bathroom and went in search for the livingroom.
Mulder and Sam were talking as she came in.
"Hi!"
"Hello, Scully. Are you feeling all right?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, I am fine." She answered, sitting on one of the chairs. Mulder looked at
her. She couldn't hold his gaze.
"It's 12 a.m., we should sleep a little I think. There is a single bed in one
room and a double in the other. Sam, you and Scully take the double and I'll
take the single......"
"No," Sam interrupted him, "no, you and Scully take the double. You have a lot
to talk about."
"No, Sam. It's Okay. I can sleep..."
"Shut up, Fox. I'll take the single."
"OK, ok." He said loudly and more quiet "Women."
That brought him a `death-look' from Sam.
Scully said nothing, she was still half asleep and could barely remember her own
name. <It's getting worse, Dana, you've been awake one hour.>
"Scully." Mulder touched her softly on her shoulder. "Come up Scully. You can
sleep in the bed. OK?"
"Hmmm."
Mulder put one arm around her shoulder and they walked to the bedroom.
Scully sat on the bed and laid down. She felt that Mulder put a sheet on her. He
laid down on the other side.
"Scully, can I ask you something?"
"Hm, of course."
"Do you think it's really her?" He asked. And she heard in the tone of his
voice, the fear. She turned to him and took his hand and squeezing it.
"Yes Mulder, I don't know why, but I'm sure she is."
"Thanks Scully."
"Anytime."
Mulder held her hand tighter.
"Good Night, Scully. Sleep well."
"You too."
Scully fell asleep soon.
Mulder couldn't sleep like usually. He thought about how he could find a cure
for his Scully.
And then, suddenly he had the solution.
Scully, who still held his hand, began to mumble something. He feared another
nightmare and stroke her cheek, whispering gentle words in her ear. She calmed
down again and Mulder kissed her forehead lightly.
<Scully, I promise I'll get the cure for you. You will live.> With that thought
he fell asleep too.

Mulder awoke early, somewhere around 8 that morning. He glanced at the still
sleeping Scully as he stood up and went to the bathroom. He felt much
better and was ready for the day ahead. He was making the coffe when Sam came in
the kitchen.
"Morning little Sis." Mulder smiled.
"Morning too, big brother." She smiled back, "did you sleep well?"
"Yeah, thanks and you?"
"Better than ever. Is Scully allright?"
"Yes. She slept without waking up. She needs rest, I let her sleep." Mulder
sighed.
"Of course."
They sat at the table, drinking coffee.
"Sam?"
"--Hm."
"Sam, I have a plan how we all can get out of this."
"Really, Tell me!"
"Listen. Cigarette-Smoking-Man will find us, no matter how. We can tell him that
you remember everthing about the tests."
"But---"
"We'll use what we know. We have to tell him that you remember him how he tested
you."
"Why are you so sure that he was there?"
"I know it."
"Okay, and then?"
"Then we'll tell him that we'll tell the population the truth if he won't give
us the cure."
"Are you sure that it'll work?"
"Yes." He said with force.
"I trust you, Fox, you are my brother. I am sure that you're right."
"Thanks for your trust. I'll need it."
The rest of the breakfast they didn't speak about the plan. At 9 o'clock Scully
joined them. Mulder thought that she still looked terrible and that she was in
pain. But he knew Scully, she was too stuborrn to say it.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Bill and the two men were waiting in Elmenstreet 1031 at 9 o'clock. <Soon,
Mulder is a dead man!>
He saw John Loenguard park behind him and two minutes later John openend the
door next to Bill and got in.
"Morning."
"Morning Mr. Loenguard." The three men greeted him.
"You know where they are."
"Yes, I do."
"Okay, then let's drive." He smiled and lid a cirgarette on.
Ten minutes later, they parked their car 200 meters away from the house where
Mulder, Sam and Scully stayed.
"Have you all your guns?"
"Of course."
They walked to the house. They didn't knock, they simply burst in the door.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mulder heard the door burst and sprang up.
"What's going on?" Sam asked scared.
<Shit, they are here sooner than I expected them.> Mulder thought.
He could only look at Scully, seeing the fear in her eyes and then the kitchen
door opened and four men stepped in, guns in their hands.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Bill looked at the three persons at the table. His sister was the only one who
still sitting. Both Mulder and Sam stood immediately.
"I'm sorry that we are interrupting this lovely breakfast," Bill said
sacrasticly, "but we promise, Mulder, we'll make it quick."
"Oh, hi, Bill. I missed you." Mulder countered back.
"That's nice. Oh, and I see you found your sister and my sister is here too. Hi
Dana." He said with a smile.

Dana said nothing. She couldn't believe what was happening here. Was her
brother really capable of killing Mulder and Sam? Was he here to kill her as
well? It was a shock for her. She felt
the blood seep from her nose, but she didn't care.

Mulder glanced at Scully to see her reaction. And he saw that she was in shock,
blood came from her nose and trickled down to her lips and she didn't try to wip
it
away. He wanted to take her in his arms and was moving to go to her, when
the sound of a cocking gun stopped him.
"Don't try it Mulder." Bill said.
"I have to help her."
"YOU have to die."
"She is your sister for Gods sake! Let her go!"
"Oh, I won't kill her, the cancer will do that."
"You have the cure!"
"John has the cure, you're right, but he won't give it to her."
"You'll let your sister die?"
"I don't care about her. She killed my Missy."
"No, that was him." Mulder looked at the quiet Cigarette-Smoking-Man.
"I remember him." Sam said suddenly.
"What?" Bill and John Loenguard asked both.
"You were one of the men who tested me. You took me." Sam shouted.
"Liar." Said the Cigarette-Smoking-Man, but not with force.
"No, you are one of the men."
"See, Smoking-Man, now we have a trade. She won't tell anyone the truth and you
give us the cure." Mulder smiled, it worked..
"No."
"Okay, then she'll call the New York Times today."
"No , I'll kill you all and no one will care about the truth."
Cigarette-Smoking-Man shouted.
"No chance. I've told two people, if we die of unnormal causes, they'll
go straight to the press."
The Smoking Man swallowed hard. <They've more than I've would thought. The girl
does really rememeber the damn test. Shit. They told me, she wouldn't remember
after the drug.>
"Okay, I'll make the trade. I see I don't have a choice. The cure for Sam and
the truth."
"No way, Sam will stay with me."
"Okay, no Sam no, cure."
"Why do you want Sam."
"Because I will be sure that she won't tell anyone. But I promise I won't kill
her. I made that promise to your father and I'll make it to you."
"No..."
"I go with you." Sam said suddenly.
She knew that Fox would find her again. Fox needed Dana more than needed her.
"Sam..." Mulder shouted.
"No. Don't speak. I've made a decision, Fox. Believe me, I know what I'm doing."
She interrupted him.
"No, I don't want to lose you."
"I know, but you need Dana and she needs you now more than I do." Sam felt the
tears. Mulder was crying too.
Suddenly Scully began to speak, very quiet.
"No, don't go, Sam. Let me die, Mulder. You have your sister, she means you a
lot to you. I'm dying, she's alive and healthy. Stay with her." She said so
quiet, so calm. She looked as if she might expire at any moment. Her nose was
red with blood, her eyes were
half closen, her cheeks were red with the fever and she was only half cosciuns.
She didn't seem to understand everything what was happening around her.
"Scully, I won't let you die." Mulder turned to Samantha with tears falling down
his face. It's taken him his whole life to find his sister and now, he was
losing her again. And there was nothing he could do to stop it. "Sam, I'm sorry.
I have to have the cure, she needs it."
"I know." Sam whispered.
"How the hell do I know that your treatment will work?" Mulder demanded.
Smoking Man took a slow deliberate moment to light on another cigarette. Making
everyone wait, he took a drag and released the smoke in a long sighing breath.
"You'll have to believe me. It will help." Then he turned to Sam. "Sam, come to
me."
Cigarette-Smoking-Man smiled as Sam went to stand next to him.
"Where will I get the treatment for her?" Mulder asked again.
"Today in the D.C. Medical Centre. See a Dr. Waters, she knows everything then.
In two days the cancer will be cured. Good bye Agent Mulder. I am sure we'll
meet again." He explained.
" Bye Mulder. I am sorry that I couldn't kill you." Said Bill.
"Hey! Wait! Can I have a moment with my sister one last time?"
"Well, okay." Said Cigarette-Smoking-Man.
Mulder went to his sister and hugged her. He whispered.
"I'll find you again, I promise."
"Yeah, I know. Bye, big brother. Take care off her."
"I will. Bye little sister."
They were both crying again as Bill, Cigarette-Smoking-Man and the two men took
Samantha outside.

Mulder turned to Scully. She sat there, the bleeding finally stopped, she looked
like the hell and she was half unconscious. Her eyes were closed.
"Scully?"
No reaction.
Mulder went to her, took her in his arms and rocked her.
"I'm here, Scully. We'll go now to DC now, you'll be okay again."
Scully opened her eyes. She didn't seem to know where she was or what just
really happenend.
"Mulder? I wanna sleep, will you let me?" She only asked and closed her eyes.
"I will. You can sleep now on our drive. Everything will be allright again."
He carried her to the car.
And they drove to Washington D.C. to get the cure for Scully.
