Scully lies on her side, on a metal operating table, her hands are tied behind her back. Her eyes flicker as a large light turns on above.
Two men and a women enter, their faces hidden by surgical masks, the woman pushes a tray of surgical instruments. They gather round. The door is heard opening.
"Sorry you can't smoke in here." One man turns, the others continue with their preparation.
Coughing is heard, then the sound of the door opening and closing again.
"Right let's get started"
Mulder and Holly sit in a café; there is an untouched coffee and piece of pie in front of him. She sits drinking diet coke.
"You said I was wrong how can you be sure?"
"Your case was heavily pregnant women turning up in hospitals, and there was no ID and no record of them. Am I right?"
"Yes."
"It was no conspiracy; they were prostitutes from foreign countries. They were not abductees."
Mulder pulls his coffee close, remaining silent staring into the black liquid.
"It's cold, would you like another?"
"No, I want to know where Scully is."
"I don't know"
Mulder stands up.
"Then what is the point of me even talking to you, I could be finding her."
He starts to leave, throwing some change onto the table; she quickly follows, nervously glancing at the other customers, as they stare.
Holly catches up with him on the street.
"I don't know where she is, but I think I know who has her, and I think I can help you find her."
Mulder stops.
"We need to go somewhere safe, there I'll tell you everything I know"
Holly motions to Mulder's car, unlocking it they climb in.
"Where to?"
"Just drive."
The car pulls away, a man in a suit on the pavement, touches his ear.
"They are leaving, please advise if I should pursue or not."
The man nods, and then walks away down the street.
Mulder and Holly sit silently in the car.
"Are you going to tell me?"
Holly sighs and looks out the window.
"I don't want you to crash the car in anger."
She smiles.
"Emily wasn't the only one born; there were 12 of us…"
"Twelve! You mean there are ten more of you?"
"No, it's just me now. The other died some like Emily, others killed."
Holly wipes a tear away.
"I'm sorry."
"It's ok, I never knew them. You never realised this but they always make multiple children, with different mutations, but they kill them off before they reach double digits."
"How come you survived?"
"I was saved by my dad, after you found Emily, they panicked, terminate the project early."
Mulder pulls in at a gas station, and climbs out.
Holly gets out, and heads to the bathroom. Mulder waits until the door closes then pulls out his mobile.
"Hey Skinner."
"Where are you?"
"Just on a little road trip with Holly."
"All the blood in the apartment was Scully's there is no DNA evidence from her abductors. You know where she is?"
"No, I'm starting to think this might be a wild goose trip."
"I'll do everything I can, but be careful. Mulder I mean it."
"Of course skinman, I'll keep you updated."
Mulder hangs up, and fills the car. Holly comes out the bathroom and goes straight into the shop. Mulder sits in the car; she comes out carrying two bottles of water and a packet of M&Ms.
"Ready?"
"Yeh, just a quick question, where you get all this money?"
"I stole it from dad before I left. Off we go."
Holly smiles at the dumbstruck Mulder.
