Recap: Mulder's trip to Atlantic City doesn't take him to the glittering casinos or luxury hotels. Instead, he plays a dangerous game of hunter-and-hunted with the man-eater that haunts the back alleys and woods surrounding the city. However, it's not long before even Scully, the eternal skeptic, is lured back by the mounting evidence Mulder manages to drag out of tourist-wary local law enforcement agencies. ()

"You should have seen her, Scully. She was beautiful."
I understood what he meant a non-human beautiful, an intriguing, other worldly beautiful, I got that, I understood that but I was still minutely hurt. Would he ever call me beautiful?
"Yeah?" I question out of breath, my tone almost icy, "She just about ripped your lungs out."

Scully helps me into the ambulance, her bangs are sort of sticking to her forehead. It takes me a few shock still minutes but I notice she does most…all of the attending herself. I am pleased. Her hands are soft and cold, I wonder about the latter, they feel good against my skin. Icy, like her tone had been, I wonder what I said or what happened to make her react to my comment the way she did. I look up in her eyes and see the worry turn to comfort, ease, but beneath it I see a bit of hurt. People are mindlessly yelling orders and I try to stay focused on her, as the other two medics flutter around uselessly.
"Scully," I draw her face towards mine with my words, "you're beautiful."
Her puzzled smiles is gorgeous.
A/N: Reviews are joy! What'd you think? Let me know.
