Part 3

WIlliam was starring at his mom, seeing her for the first time in all these years, and the memories flooded back to him. He felt his legs get weak and he was out like a light.

John seen how pale William got and caught him before he hit the ground. He was just as shocked to see MULDER and Scully standing in front of him and now. He held William close and looked over at MULDER. "She ok?" He asked, concern filled his voice.

MULDER pushed Scullys hair back out of her face as he held her. "Yeah, I think, she's been dizzy lately and now shocked." He looked at Scully then looked over at John. "Is he ok?" He asked, very worried about his son too.

"Yeah, but, when he comes to, and you ask him...he'll say he's just fine." Smirks, knows MULDER will get it.

"Oh...another one of those...great." He smiled and looked down. "Scully...Dana come on, you have to get up now." He watched her closely.

She stired some but didn't wake.

He picked her up and carried her out of the way of the group that had gathered around them. "It's ok, nothing to see here." He said to them. He got to a booth and sat her down. "Dana...honey wake up please, your scaring me."

John followed suit and carried William over to the same booth. "Hey bud, you have to wake up, there is someone that wants to see you." He said and smiled.

Mulder looked over at John. "Let's take them back to one of our rooms and one of us can grab some food to bring back."

John nodded real quick. Will stirred slightly and mumbled a bit as John grabbed back onto him. "Can you stand, Bud?" He nodded slightly as John lifted him out of the booth and held onto him as they went to the elevator.

Mulder carried Scully in his arms. When had she gotten this light? Her weight was nothing these days. Mulder decided to follow John to his room.

John fished his key card out of his pocket with his free hand and opened the door. John nodded towards the bed closer to the door. "Go ahead and set her there," he said as he went and helped William onto the other bed.

Mulder set Scully down on the bed and adjusted the pillow under her head. He tucked her hair back out of her face.

William sat back up slightly next to John watching Mulder tend to Scully. This must be his dad. He quickly saw that he resembled him more. He also didn't realize how small his mother was until now. He could only tell that her hair was longer, lighter and her face was thinner with a few more fine lines of aging. Still just as beautiful. "I'm sorry," he said. "I'm not trying to hurt her...I can't control what's happening."

Mulder glanced over at him. "So, she was right, these.. Spells.. Visions are from you."

William looked at his father. "I'm sorry, I'm not meaning to. I'd never hurt her."

John was shocked. "What kind of spells are you talking about Mulder?" he asked.

"She'd start feeling dizzy then fall to the ground holding her head and moaning in pain, she'd tell me after words she'd had seen what was going to happen, she heard voices and saw people... Why?" Mulder wanted to the end of this.

John looked at William for a moment. "That's what has been happening to William. " He informed him.

William watched his father, he could tell he was very worried about his mom, and wasn't sure about him, he already has his father hating him. "I'm... I'm sorry." he whispered and stood up and walked out of the room.

John looked at him. "William, come back." he stood.

Mulder watched and was torn. "Can I ask, what brings you here to this location Doggett?"

John replied. "It's where Skinner sent us to."

"So, this was his doing.. Why?" Mulder was now confused.

"Probably figured it'd be best here and not back at home because you were bring watched." John's said.

Just then Scully woke up. Scully sat up and looked around. "Where am I?" She asked, confused.

Mulder moved closer to her, about to say something and she turned to see John. It took her a moment to process what happened and she looked around. "Where is he?" she asked knowing they knew full well what she meant.

John and Mulder looked to one another, quickly trying to figure out how to explain.

Something was telling her she had to leave the room and she jumped up and ran out the door. She looked around the hallway and followed what she couldn't describe as mother's intuition or a feeling she couldn't explain. She walked towards the stairs and sure enough found a young man sitting on the top of the stairs. She had a feeling he knew she was there, but he didn't turn to face her. Truth be told, she was anxious too and she had to summon up courage to say the next few words she was about to say. "William," she was fighting back tears at this point.

William knew his mother was walking up to him. He didn't have to see her. When she spoke, he slid over so she could have a seat.

Scully saw this and stepped forward and sat down. She looked at him in awe. Before she could say anything more William spoke. "I'm sorry... I don't mean to hurt you... Things just come to me. I guess.. We are close like that if youre seeing what I'm seeing."

She was shocked. "No need to be sorry... Its me that should be sorry." she wiped her tears away. "I'm sorry... I was onlying trying to protect you." she whispered.

William finally looked at her. "I'm not mad at you for what you had to do. I knew what had happened." he was looking her in the eyes.

She smiled at him. "Wow.. You have your father's eyes." she sighed. "Can I ask you something?"

William nodded at her. "Yeah.. Anything."

"Did you have a good childhood... And most importantly.. Why are you with John Doggett?" she asked, it was nagging at her.

He nodded. "It was pretty good. My adopted parents treated me wonderfully... Something happen when I was about 7 and they both died.. I then went to live with Uncle John once Uncle Walter found out what had happened." he filled her in.

This made her sad. "I'd have taken you back in a heart beat... There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you.. And try to picture what you look like." she so wanted to hug him but restrained herself right now.

Mulder looked at John. "We should go get them. No telling what will happen."

Will knew his mom wanted to hug him, but was holding back because she was afraid. He was a little bit too. Truth be told, he was overwhelmed by all of her thoughts at that given moment. He reached over and put his arm around her shoulders.

She was crying again and it made him uncomfortable. He wasn't sure how to make her feel better. Scully was overwhelmed with the idea that this whole time William was closer than ever to them, but out of her reach. She made Skinner and Monica promise to never give her any information on his whereabouts, but someone clearly found him and killed his adoptive parents. She felt so relieved Will was reaching out to her and she reached over and hugged him back.

Doggett and Mulder left the room and went to find William and Scully. They stopped when they found them together, holding onto each other...completely unaware of them.

Mulder looked helplessly at John. "We should give them some time...let's go grab something to eat and bring it back."

Doggett nodded. "Yeah, we should give them some space, it's okay, he's a good kid."

Before Mulder could respond, Scully's cell phone he was holding started vibrating and he looked at the caller ID to see it was from Skinner. Mulder glanced at John. "It's Skinner.. I need to get this." he said answering it and stepping back as to not bother Scully and William. "Hello sir." he said.

Arlene was still panicky. "Mulder? I thought I called Agent Scully..? Anyways.. Something has happened."

Mulder was shocked. "Arlene take a breath... Ok... Now, explain.. What happened?" he glanced at John again, knowing he can hear his side.

"Men came in to my office, held a gun at me... Then Walter came out, shoots were fired... Now he's gone. They weren't caught on camera, no one was around... Only thing they found are bullets. I'm a suspect because I was the only one they can account for because I'm on the log up front." Arlene was talking fast.

"We'll be back as soon as we can, make sure you get somewhere safe." It took John a few minutes before he figured it out. "Skinner sent you here?" Mulder hung up the phone and looked over at John, finally figuring it out. "Yeah-you've been in contact with him too?" That was when Mulder realized there was no case. Skinner had sent them all there on purpose knowing they would run into one another. Someone probably figured it out and attacked him in order to get the information. "Shit, we need to go, now."

Mulder turned to Scully and William. "I hate to break this up.. But we need to go now!"

Scully could hear panic in his voice. "Mulder... Whats wrong?" she asked.

"Skinner is missing, someone took him." MULDER said. "Arlene just called, she needs help."

William looked at John. "Uncle Walter?"

John nodded. "Let's go get our things."

Scully was torn. She wanted to talk to William more, but something happened to Skinner and as much as they didn't fully trust him at the moment, they had to find him. As they both stood up, it was only then she fully realized how much taller he was, he looked so much like Mulder.

John looked at the three of them. "I'm assuming your return flight hasn't been booked yet?"

Mulder shook his head. "No, I don't think so...just our flight here."

John nodded. "Good, it's best they don't...come with us, they can't track you that way. It might take a little longer, but we should stick together right now. They'll be looking for us too...hell, they probably may have figured out where we are right now."

Mulder looked from Scully and William, back to John. "You didn't give them the make of your vehicle at check-in, did you?"

John shook his head. "No, I didn't."

Mulder nodded. "Good, we'll use your car to get out of here."

Scully looked at Mulder she didn't want to leave William already. "Let's just grab our stuff.. Skinner set this up for us to met its a freak case Scully. But Skinners missing and no telling what's going down now, but you and Will can talk in the car." he held out his hand to her.

Each of them went back to their motel rooms and grabbed their things before heading back down to check out. William took that moment to clear his thoughts by loading up some breakfast onto a couple of plates before meeting them outside. A chill rand down his spine. They needed to leave, now. Before John went to get into the driver's side of the car, William stopped him. "They're coming, Uncle John...we need to get out of here and find another car." He set the food on top of the car and opened the door to the back seat, allowing Mulder to ride shotgun. Scully sat next to him on the other side and he handed her a plate of food. She smiled at the gesture. "We gotta go now, guys. They're coming and they will be checking the cameras." His head started to throb.

Scully rubbed her head. She knew what that meant. "John.. Do you know how to hot wire a car?" She asked.

He smirked. "Can I hot wire... Gone in 60 seconds Jake." he smirked.

William shook his head. His uncle was a dork but he loved him. "Drive a few miles and pull in, we need a car quickly uncle John.." He was glancing behind them.

Arlene kept getting questioned about what happened. She told them the same thing each time, never changing it. She was getting frustrated. After they left she went into skinners office to see if there was something that may help find him or what this is all about.

The men pulled up to the ware house and putting Skinner on a stretcher, pushed him inside and into a room. "You idiot... Whys he shot?" he asked.

Skinner was in pain and was trying to move but it was no good.

The other man looked over. "He got in my way... It happened." he replied. They got him to a room and he walked over and got the needle out he had ready. "Your gonna go to sleep for awhile. Let's fix you up."

Skinner's eyes went wide. "No... I'm fine." he said trying to stand up.

"Sir.. Lay down." he said and pushed the needle into his arm. It didn't take long before Skinner was out cold. "Let's hook him up quickly." he begun putting electrodes on his head and chest, an IV in his arm. He then went to fixing him up and taking care of that bullet.

After finding a suitable car, John got to work as they unloaded their belongings into the next car. Scully's head hurt and Will felt bad since he knew he was he reason. He was projecting his feelings onto her and he wasn't sure how to stop it. "Where are we going from here?" John asked.

Mulder looked over as he helped Scully. "Head back to DC, there we should be ok but we have to find Skinner."

Scully sat in the back with William. "Don't worry about me.. I'm fine." she smirked.

As they started driving and got going, Mulder phone started going crazy. Mulder looked down at his phone wondering what's going on. It's then he sees Skinner. "Mulder... Mulder... Am... Am I dead?" his eyes went wide and turns and looks at Scully. It was just like what happened with Langly.
