Dusty Roads
Mulder was staring out the window thinking he might of seen something come across the road, when it fact it was just the sun blazing across the dusty, narrow road in Nevada after arriving back home from the Cape May Light house, and discovery of the space craft and entity that was found on board, and finally sent back home.
Scully elected to sit this one out with having been sent on a quick case to look for a lost mother name Andrea, she was supposed to been placed in an mental hospital. She was found on the side of the road several miles from the Sands casino in Rio Grande, Nevada mumbling to herself when the authorities had found her, dirty, and her clothes had been torn.
The doctors at the Nevada Mental State hospital have been unable to get through to the woman, even with the drugs that was being used on her in the first place.
When A.D. Skinner had received the report from the local regional office in Nevada, Skinner was asked to send an agent to investigate to what exactly happened to the young mother in her early thirties, with dark black hair, height 5 feet eight inches. And she wears a UFO tattoo on the bottom of her ankle, the most tender areas of the body.
Mulder was called into his office around noon time, when he was called down in the basement finishing up last minute paper work, while his wife Dana Scully would be in later, having to be working at the hospital with a new case for a young girl with the beginnings of throat cancer, and a good possible chance of going into remission with the new gene cell therapy that Doctor Dana Scully was able to developed through the hospital and other labs across the country.
She had advised Walter Skinner of this fact, she didn't know how long she would be working with this case, taking her time away from the X Files.
Scully was told by A.D. Skinner to don't worry about it, he would be able to ask other agents mostly Monica Reyes and John Doggett to help out on the case if possible.
And it's where she is at right now, while her husband Fox Mulder had caught a flight to Nevada to locate the woman that was found, he was able to catch the first flight out in the morning.
He had promised, he would be able to called her, when he has the free time. When he had landed with the change in time of the different zones, it would take him a few days to catch up on his biological clock for when it comes to sleeping and eating.

Later when Mulder arrived at the mental hospital.
Doctor Sandy Hanson reached her office over an hour early that morning. Concerned the phone call she had received from the F.B.I. agent Fox Mulder.
She was wondering why the F.B.I. was interested in the woman Andrea that was found on the side of the road.
Waiting until five minutes, she tired calling the number that was on her caller I.D., she was mildly surprised when the phone was answered before the second ring.
"Hello, Agent Mulder, can I help you?" She said on the phone.
"Yes, I'd like to speak with you about the woman Andrea that was brought to your hospital, this case was brought to the F.B.I. because of the strangeness sent down to the X Files department, I would very much like to speak with her, since I am in the area, when would be a good time to do so, Dr. Hanson, can you tell me over the phone what might of happened to ?" He smiled reminiscing.
"Okak then. From what I do know, she was blacked out all memories as to why or what had happened to her, I have a feeling she might of had an bad experience, I need to figure out what and when."
Mulder took a deep breath not really sure how to continued. "It's been a few days now since she was brought here, I was just checking to see how she was doing." She closed her eyes wondering if she sounded legitimate. "Agent Mulder please come here, I can let you talk with her regular nurse on the day shift and she can tell you more then I can at the moment."
"No, that's okak, don't bother her, I was just getting a quick update, I will be there shortly." Mulder replied before hanging up.
One thing for sure that Dr. Hanson did know for sure, her nurse has said she's been acting a lot more psychotic causing the floor doctor to prescribe stronger medication. She has been restrained in her bed most of the time.
Dr. Hanson found herself turning around to look outside, she sees a car pull up near her parking spot, she looked to see a man get out of the rented vehicle, thinking it might be Agent Mulder of the F.B.I..
It was agent Fox Mulder parking his vehicle next to Dr. Hanson parking space of the mental hospital. She had been mildly surprised to not have been turned away at the gate, but the guard acted like it was any other day, he was here and was greeted like a normal guest.
As for his patient. Her wrists and ankles were strapped tightly down, almost to the point of cutting off the circulation, although she was too drugged to noticed. This she knew, was due to what might of happened to her having been found on the side of the road.
Now the staff used a syringe to administer her medication to keep her docile.
She caught a moment to her right of her bed, from her barely facing eyes. Figuring to be a nurse, when in fact it was Dr. Hanson and Agent Fox Mulder.
"Agent Mulder?" The voice was soft with a guilty tone to it, Yet familiar.
With her babbling like a drunk, she turned it back to face her visitor. "You come." She said.
"You know me?" Mulder slowly nodded.
She flashed him a grin that only tore at his heart.
Mulder went to sit on the other side of the woman as with the doctor. "I am here to find out what happened to you." As Mulder kept his voice low looking over at the woman, while he followed her eyes dulled by the medication.
