The sun glinted off the metal orb sending fragments of light in all directions. The orb itself was suspended hundreds of feet above the countryside, drawing the attention of almost anyone. At the moment there was only one person. He gazed, with a mixture of emotions but mostly with an envious jealousy that he hadn't been the one to take the picture.
"What are you doing?" A feminine voice asked him sharply.
Fox Mulder looked up from the poster labeled 'BELIEVE' and into the stormy gray eyes of his partner Dana Scully. He gave her a half smile and looked back at the picture.
"Wondering where it went." He said softly, nodding to the picture.
Dana scowled at his back and sat in a chair in the corner of his office.
"I'm going away for a week." Mulder said suddenly, turning back to Scully. She regarded him with her cool gray eyes, judging his sincerity. "Will you come with me?"
Her eyebrows furred and she tilted her head, "Where are you going?"
"Michigan." He said with a growing smile.
"Why?" She asked slowly, knowing the answer already.
Mulder's eyes slid over to the answer, there were no messages. Beside it lay a single piece of paper with Mulder's scrawling writing. Scully stood up and retrieved the paper.
'Crystal Falls Michigan, sighting'
Dana sighed and let the paper go. "Mulder."
"I packed your bag already". He ventured. She glared at him. "I'll make it worth while, you'll see."

The light was fading and they'd found nothing. Nothing, except bugs and trees and general outdoor forest-y things. They'd been out in the wilderness for hours, following some sort of trail that turned into a sort- of-not-trail and now there was no trail.
"You know Mulder, it was probable just a hoax."
It was mid august and the heat was still blanketing the land. A bead of sweat ran down Scully's neck and she brushed it away with an impatient hand. Mulder just looked at her and shrugged.
"Do you even know where we are?"
Mulder shook his head and forged forwards into the underbrush. Scully shook her head in exasperation.
"Are you telling me we're lost?"
"I know where I'm going." Mulder stated authoritatively, "I just don't know where we are."
"Well you'd better-" Scully's words were cut off as stick slung across the path tripped her. She fell forwards and was caught rather roughly by Mulder. She lingered for a moment in his arms before standing up straight. Hot whips of ardor lashed her body as she pulled away. She's had such feelings before, but never so intense. Her breath shallowed and quickened as she tried to step away from him.
"Are you all right Scully?"
She was starting to get a hold of herself. Calming her nerves and hiding the slight shake in her legs.
"You look a little hot."
"You have no idea." She whispered under her breath. She tried to walk passed him but he caught her hand spinning her towards him.
"Really Dana, are you ok?"
Her eyes widened, he'd used her first name. He rarely did. The warmth rose inside her again and she yearned to reach up and kiss his welcoming lips. He was so close.
"Fox, I".
It was Mulder who closed the gap instead, tilting her head a little and drawing her lips to his. At first it was delicate, an exploration in unknown territory, then finding their niche, they unleashed their mutual passion.

Mulder's hands were tightly laced through Scully's hair and hers were up under the back of his shirt when a ray of light cut through the trees. Startled they drew reluctantly apart and looked around. An engine revving echoed throughout the forest followed by a squeal of tires.
With a glance at Scully, Mulder took of running through the trees. He arrived at a clearing as the eyes of two red headlights disappeared into the night. Looking around the clearing he picked out the tire tracks of a heavy automobile. It was strange though because the tracks were only leaving the clearing.
Scully stumbled into the clearing and looked around. "What was it?"
"I don't know" Mulder said as her walked slowly over the flattened grass. A circle of deep imprints lay where the truck tracks began. "I may have an idea".

Ok, now you have review. Is it interesting? Do you like it? What don't you like? Should I continue?
