"I can't try that now Mulder I'm sitting in my office but maybe later."
"Is anyone in your office?"
She glanced around. "No, just me."
"Then try to communicate with him..."
She sat there a moment until Mulder spoke, "Scully...you have to believe. Its a matter of faith."
"Okay," she answered. "What do I do?"
Mulder rose from his chair and walked over to a few books he had in the general area of a bookcase, somewhere... He thumbed through them until he rested on one about telepathy. "Hmm..."
"Mulder! I'm waiting..."
He nodded as he held the phone to his ear. "Try thinking about him and saying his name and see what happens, Scully."
She licked her ruby red lips and leaned back into her chair. Concentrate...Hernandez, broken leg...Concentrate! She thought about his round beautiful face and blue eyes the last time she saw her son, she pushed down her emotions automatically. "William", she nearly whispered...
"You okay, Scully?"
She was silent a moment. "Yes, I'm fine..."
Mulder flipped open the book. "Keep trying."
She did it again..."William!"
"MOM!" the voice replied.
"OMG, Mulder he answered me back!"
"You sure?", Mulder said, his legs stiffened.
"Positive."
"William!", she said again getting louder.
"HELP ME!"
Her desk phone rang startling her. "Hold on, Mulder, " she said, switching phones. "Dr. Scully? Yes? Alright...give me a second."
She hung up and switched back to her cell phone. "Mulder, I've got to go..."
"Alright, " he said, tossing the book to his desk, knocking a few papers off. "You know where I'll be..."
"Love you..."
"Love you too," he said, grabbing a scrap of paper ready to take notes from the book.
She hung up and walked back down to the nurses station. She was met by Nurse Edwards. "Dr. Scully, sorry to disturb you..."
"Its fine. " Scully answered, her bright smile shining as a few kids passed her by. "Whats the problem?"
Scully turned her head suddenly, she could feel a prick in the back of her neck right where the implant in her neck lay. Nurse Edwards continued speaking but Scully was tuned into the hallway. A an extremely tall man stood there staring at her. She walked off from Nurse Edwards and strolled right up to the man. "Can I help you?"
The man smiled but something wasn't right about him, Scully could feel it. "My son...he's sick," the man said, pointing to a door that was closed. Scully pushed it open and saw that the bed was empty, she turned but the man grabbed her by the neck, forcing her up against the wall. "Where is he?"
The dark haired man was 6'4 and held her against the wall as if she were a child herself, she struggled against him but was no match. He let go of her neck for her to breath but continued to hold her against the wall.
"Where is he! Where is he!"
"Who?", she coughed, gripping her neck.
"Your son!"
Scully's eyes widen. "OMG...you're a...you're a "
"Tell me were he is..."
"I don't know where he is!", she said still gagging. "He's gone..."
"We're gonna find him," he said, grabbing her up against the wall and lifting her up until they were face to face. "We've been watching you...we've been watching Mulder. Sooner or later, we're gonna find your son and we're gonna kill him!"
"Why! WHY do you want my son?"
He dropped her onto the ground and the back of her head hit the wall with a thud. "You know why Dana Scully. You know he's the one."
She was cornered. "He's dead!"
The man smiled down at her. "We know thats not true. We know he's alive. We will find him."
"He's human now, he's of no use to you!"
"We know thats not true too, " he said, standing at the doorway. "When we find him, we're gonna kill him."
He straightened up his suit and tie and walked out into the hall disappearing. She sat there a moment and then managed to get up. She straightened up her clothes, obviously no one knows whats wrong with me...She stepped cautiously out into the hallway, no one including Nurse Edwards was there. She pulled out her phone. "Mulder...they know..."
