Summery: An old enemy from Scullys past is back to haunt her

Or is it just her mind playing tricks on her

Reviews: please tell me what you think

"Scully I need you to do an autopsy"

"Mulder what time is it?" Scully asked half asleep

"3Am, I need you to…"

"3am!" Beep Beep Beep

The phone rang again

"Scully I…"

"Mulder I'm going to hang up on you now"

"Scully listen…" Beep Beep Beep

'Well if she wants to play it like that' Mulder thought as he pressed redial, she picked up the phone and sighed

"You're not going to let this one go are you Mulder" She said defeated

"Nope, meet me at headquarters in half an hour" he hung up, Scully sighed 'If he's not dead when I get there' She thought as she climbed out of bed, 'he soon will be'

--------------------------------------

If anyone knew Dana Scully, they knew she wasn't a morning person

"Alright Mulder" She fumed as she stormed through the door

"Get on that bed, cause your going to be dead" she pointed to the bed in front of her as she snapped on her latex gloves

"Ha Ha Scully very funny, did you know…" Mulder started as he came round the back of the table.

"I'm not in the mood Mulder, where's the body?"

"It's not just 'the body', Scully,' it's 'THE body'"

Scully rolled her eyes "Mulder" She sighed

"Alright, its over here" Mulder gestured excitingly as he made his way, over to the far right of the room

'Only Mulder could get excited over a dead body' Scully thought as she followed him. The body was covered with a fine sheet

"You're going to love this" Mulder raised his eyebrows at Scully as he unceremoniously reefed the sheet off the body

Scully's eyes went wide "Mulder…" she couldn't find the words

"Yeah I know"

------------------------------------

"Where did they find him?" Scully couldn't take her eyes off the body

"They found him hanging in a tree on a farm 3 day ago, he just flew in" Mulder was grinning ear to ear, for this wasn't any dead body this body was literally mutilated, his eyes were carved from their sockets, his mouth was sown together, he had deep gauges in crisscross patterns plastered across his torso, a thin rod had been bored through his elbows pinning his arms to his side, the only normal thing about this body was the fact that he was wearing a old fashioned wedding ring, Scully bent over and touched the ring

"He must have done something pretty bad" Mulder said

"I'll say!" Scully was mesmerised in all her time working in the FBI she had never seen anything like this

"Did they catch the guy?"

"Nope, that's why they sent it to us" Mulder started to walk round the table "let me know what you come up with"

"Wait a minute where are you going?"

"I had to meet with someone 20 minutes ago"

"At this hour?"

"He just flew in from England 2 hrs ago and wants to waste no time, catch you later"

"But…?" it was too late Mulder was out the door, she turned back to the body "well I guess its just you and me" she said as she wheel it to the next room

-------------------------------

Scully walked over to the Utensils draws, she opened the top one to find nothing there

"Damn it!, why can't they put things back where there supposed to" frustrated she headed for the storage cabinet down the hall, a few minutes later she returned with a hand full of instruments, she started to set them up on the wheelbased table, when a scalpel slipped from her hand and dropped to the floor

'Calm down Scully, things can't possibly get any worst' she thought as she bent down to pick up the scalpel glancing at the body behind her, suddenly a feeling of something not right washed over her, but she shrugged it off or tried to as she turned back to finish setting up the utensils, she was nearly done when suddenly that song went thru her head, hammering at her scull with every word

'What you need is a lover

Someone to take over

Oh girl

Don't look any further'

"Donnie" she gasped

She spun round to find a hand at her throat

"You're the one that got away"
