Dark Future
It's saturday. 5 AM. Mulder is sleeping soundly on his couch. Outside the sun is rising. Suddenly the phone rings. Mulder lets out a groan and reaches for the phone.
"Mulder." He says, sleepily.
"Agent Mulder, It's Skinner. Listen...Agent Scully is in the hospital," He tells her, Mulder now wide awake. "I can't tell you what happened 'cause I don't know for sure. I-I think-"
"I'll be right there." Mulder says and hang up the phone. He quickly grabs a pair of jeans and a sweater and disappears in the bathroom. Three minutes later he comes out, fully clothed. He grabs his cellphone and car keys and rushes out of his apartment.
"I'm coming, Scully." He whispers as he drives into the parking lot. He takes out his cellphone and diales Skinner's number.
"Skinner."
"It's Mulder. I'm at the hospital."
"We're on the third floor." Mulder hangs up the phone and runs into the hospital. He is standing in front of the elevator but it just doesn't show up. "Damn it." He mutters. He shakes his head and runs into the hallway. He quickly climbs the stairs. Finally he's on the third floor. Skinner is talking to a doctor, Mulder rushes to them.
"Agent Mulder. This is doctor Harrison." Mulder nods.
"How is she?" Mulder asks the doctor.
"There's nothing wrong with her physically but-"
"Oh god...what happend?" Mulder asks, worried.
"We don't know for sure. A neighbour found her in front of her apartment. She was crying and her hands were pressed against her ears all the time. The neigbour, Mr. Simmons, didn't know what to do so he called an ambulance." Skinner tells him.
"I want to see her and talk to her." Mulder says.
„I'm sorry Agent Mulder but we had to sedate her, she's can go see her in about 5 hours." The doctor tells Mulder, whose eyes went wide.
"5 hours? I can't wait 5 hours. I want to- I need to see her now, doctor." Doctor Harrison sighs.
"Doctor Harrison," Skinner begins. "could you please let Agent Mulder see her now?"
"You've got five minutes, Agent Mulder." The doctor finally says, hesitantly.
"Thank you ,doctor." Mulder says, softly. Doctor Harrison nods and walks away.
"Thank you, sir." Mulder says to Skinner and lays a hand on his shoulder. Skinner nods.
"Go to her. You've got five minutes." He just says. Mulder enters the room and his heart sinks at the sight of Scully lying helpless in the hospital bed. He sits down on a chair beside the bed. For a few seconds he just looks at her pale face then he takes hold of her hand and squeezes it. Tears well up in his eyes. He quickly wipes them away before they fall. He shakes his head. He knows, he has to stay strong for her. He has to give her all the strenght that she might need. There's a knock on the door and Skinner enters the room. Mulder doesn't turn to look at him, he continues to stare at Scully's face.
"Agent Mulder." Skinner says, softly.
"She's so helpless...she hates it to be helpless."
"I know...Agent Mulder-"
"I'm coming. Just give me a minute." Skinner nods and leaves the room, closing the door behind him.
Mulder leans forward and kisses her forehead. After that he lets his forehead rest against hers for a moment. "It's going to be okay, Scully." He whispers. He rises and walks towards the door. He turns around to look at her once again, before he leaves the room.
