Scully stood over the dead body of Fox Mulder. Blood was dripping from her hands and she closed her eyes. Everything was spinning, her whole world was upside down, and nothing seemed real. Drops of cold harsh rain fell on to her cheeks as she tried to calm her breath. Her hands were shaking and eventually she dropped the knife. A small sound popped on to the air when the bloody knife hit the ground. Scully couldn't believe it had happened. She couldn't believe it had come to this. Guess Mulder finally got his truth.

Two weeks earlier...

"Mulder you gotta be kidding me right, you can't be serious?"

"Scully listen to me, my sources are reliable, I swear!"

"You're crazy Mulder. You don't even realize how easily people can take advantage of your beliefs. The FBI could put you in the middle of the desert and tell you that the truth is out there and you would ask for a shovel." Scully's nose wrinkled and she looked annoyed. She couldn't understand how easily Mulder believed everything he was told. How couldn't he see that this whole idea was crazy, that it was completely improbable?

"Scully you gotta trust me on this. I'm sure, actually I've never been so sure of anything in my entire life, if we follow this lead we can find Samantha. Please Scully, do this for me." Mulder begged his friend to trust him. He was sure that this time he would get the proof and find his sister. He needed to find Samantha. After all these years of work and grief it couldn't be all for nothing. He needed to find the truth.

Scully closed her eyes and took three slow breaths before answering.

"I can't believe I'm going to say this but... Sure, lets go alien hunting."

"Come on, wake up Scully I can't stay up all by myself. I didn't bring you here to sleep" Mulder gently pushed Scully's shoulder and gave her a smile.

"Uhh... Mulder can't we just go back to the motel already? It's three am and nothing has happened all night. We can come here back tomorrow and keep looking when there's more light, it's pitch black and we can't even see anything." The red head complained. She rubbed her eyes and shifted her position. Scully couldn't believe she had actually agreed to come out here with Mulder. She rationalized the decision by assuring herself that she only did this for him. He was her friend, best friend actually and if it was important for him that she was there with him, of course she'd be there.

"Just few more minutes okay? Then we can go back and get some sleep."

Few minutes, or better yet half an hour had passed and the two agents were already starting to leave when they encountered a bright light.

"They're here Scully!" Mulder exclaimed and got out of the car already running towards the light. His feets got stuck to branches and plants, but it didn't matter he ran as fast as he could. This is it, Mulder thought, this time I'll get them.

Before Scully could even realize what was going on Mulder was already gone.

"Mulder! Mulder wait!" She begun to run after him but he was already out of her sight. The woods were dark and without a flashlight it was impossible to see anything. The bright light had only lasted for three seconds and then it was gone. Now it was almost impossible to determine from which direction it had come.

Scully kept yelling Mulder's name but never got an answer. The woods were completely silent. Besides her own fastened breath Scully couldn't hear a thing.
