Scully was really tired. Another wild ghost chase, another crazy theory and more bruises on her body.
- My life is pathetic- she decided.
This was going on for almost five years and each new case ended the same: one big NOTHING. Sometimes she just wanted to scream at Mulder or punch him really hard to make him notice her, not Scully but Dana.
Yeah right, such miracle is not going to happened ever- it was one of few things she was positive, but still it didn't help with her frustration.
Then she heard it. A strange sound, similar to wounded animal cry but most definetly it came from human just outside her window. Cursing her
own bad luck she went outside to check it.At first she saw nothing but then another whimper helped her traced a person lying near the building wall.
It was a man, dressed in black and as far as she could said definetly in bad shape. Scully couldn't tell because of pitch black what was wrong but she recognised the smel of blood so without thinking she decided to take him home.
-Relax, I'm a doc, let me help you- she tried to calm him
He didn't acknowlege her presence but let her lift him and leaning heavilly against her body they slowly make their way to apartment.
Scully didn't rise her head until they were inside simply because he was bigger then she and it took a lot of strange to support him. When the door closed behind them she finally did it and almost had a heart attack.
- It's he, a murder, a traitor, a rat- those thoughst were rushing inside of her brain as she stared at the wounded Alex Krycek face.
He looked awful. Pale face with cuts brusises and all right side of his abdomen was covered with blood. When he heard her gasp Krycek opened his eyes and looked at her, when their gaze met she jump back wonderig were the hell was her gun. But Krycek didn't make any attempted to attack, insted he simply sat at the floor without sound, head rest on door.
Scully picked up her S&W and aimed it at him
- What are you want?- she asked, her finger on trigger
He didn't anserwed just swept his eyes at her taking her whole body and then with some kind of satisfaction written on his face close his eyes once more.
- Anserw me god damm it!- this time it was more like scream
But still no reaction.
Then it hit her, he was unconcious.
She knew she should call Mulder and propably whole SWAT team but something stoped her. He really looked bad, and despite her better jugment she was woried about him.
With one quick move Scully took her gun beside her waistband and went for first aid kit.
- I'll call for back up later- she told herself while she was taking care of long and deep knife made wound on Krycek right side.Finishing it she took blanket from couch and cover him with it. She knew that he didn't have any weapon but still she handcuff him and then sat on the couch with the gun and her cell.
- Well, it's time to make some calls- she started to press the buttons but stopped remembering how the last Krycek inerogation looked like when Mulder was involed, and there was now way in hell that Krycek would survive the same treating in his shape.
- I'd call him tomorow- with that she prepared herself for being on guard all night.
--------
She didn't know what had wake her up, but as soon as she opened her eyes she knew. Krycek was gone.
- Shit! - she cursed noticing the blanket lieing next to door with her cuffs on top.
- Great Scully, just great- she was checking her apartment looking for any "suprieses" from her guest but there was none.
- Now what? Go tell Mulder and Skinner what exactly? I had him in my home whole night but I didn't call for you guys because I felt sorry for him?! - she laughted imagining look on her parnter face.
- Well I can always pretend that it was a very bad dream- she made her minde picking up desertet blanket.
-------
The whole day was really stresfull. Mulder and his theory were more annoying then usual and Scully actualy started to think of every possible way to make him shut up but lucky to her Skinner secretary saved them both.
- Agent Scully director Skinner want's to see you
- I'm on my way- she almost run to the door silently blessing dear bald man all the way to his office.
-You want to see me sir- she asked coming to his office
- Yes agent please come in.
Scully entered and saw another person sitting on the chair. It was an older black man, wearing some kind of grey-brown suit who stood up seeing her.
- Agent Scully this is Detective Gibson from Washington PD- Skinner introduced her to a stranger.
- Nice to meet you detective- they exchange handshake.
- Please sit down- director gesture her another chair while detective sat down
Scully started to wondering what this about and praying that it wasn't about Krycek, cos she still couldn't it all figure out.
Gibson looked at her and started in low tone:
- Today morning a body was found near your apartament...
Scully rose her eyebrow questionagly at him and he hand her a photo
- Do you recognise him?
She took it half sure that she would seen Krycek death face on and it sadden her. But much to her suprise it wasn't him.
- I'm sorry but don't.May I asked why are you here detective?
Skinner smiled at that while Gibson anserwed calmly
-Well aparently agent that man knew you.- at Scully's blank stare detective gave an explenetion- He had some of your photos, your adress and key to your bulding doors not to mention a weapon without serial number.
Scully started to be seriously alarmed at that. She knew how dangerous world could be. She took another look at picture, the man was white with brown hair, and smal lips, a anonymous and possibly dangerous stranger.
- Are you ok?- Skinner asked
- Yes sir- she reassured him quickly and asked detective:
- Do you know who he was?
- Not yet, he didn't have an ID and we still checking his prints.
- Shit.Shit.Shit.Not again- Scully mentaly cursed- Not another fucking mystery.
- And how did he died if I may asked- she wanted any kind of information at the moment.
Gibson looked at her seriously before anserwing:
- Aparently there was a figh, he died from knife wound, but manage to hurt his killer, we found a lot of blood witch didn't belong to our victim
- Steady Scully steady- he told herself keeping her eyes down on the photo while her mind was racing- knife wound blood killer, no fucking way in hell that could be coincidence.
- Agent Scully?
- I'm sorry but I can't help you detective.
- Well that's ok, that was a long shot anyway- detective stood up and shake both her and Skinner hands, then nodd to Skinner- I'll keep you inform.
- Thank you detective- director anserwed
Before Gibson left he addresed Scully:
- I guess your guardian angel was at job last night agent- he smiled before closing door behind him.
- Scully I want you to be extra carefull before it all clean up- Skinner made sure that it didn't sound as plea
- Understood sir- Scully anserwed in soldier's style
Skinner smile at that, somehow she always manege to make him smile.
- Well I must say he was right about the whole angel thing- director headed to his chair witch was a sight that she can go
- Yeah- Scully said and escaped from the office
On the way to the basement she had to smirk at that thought
- Alex Krycek as someone's guardian angel?! No way!- but still she found it hard to belive in all that had happened during last 24 hours.
- What a day!
