Scully woke with a start, remembering what had happened yesterday and wishing it were a dream. She couldn't imagine the impact this would already have on Williams life, let alone if he was charged with murder.
Filled with anger, she hit her pillow, crying without even realising what she was doing. Frantically, she rang Doggett to ask about the questioning. As the phone rang, she wondered what to say. What was there to ask him? Sobbing now, she went to put the phone back on the hook.
"Hello? Hello?" She listened quietly, her hand hovering over the button to end the call.
"Scully, that you? Don't hang up on me"
"What is there to say? She snapped into the phone. Realising what she had done she whispered now, "they're accusing a kid of murder. They have no evidence. It's not fair"
"Life isn't fair Scully, but we will find evidence to prove them wrong"
"We've looked so hard"
"Maybe we're just looking in the wrong place."
"Where else is there to look?"
"What he actually had to do with the whole thing"
"Meet me at the FBI building in an hour, bring Mulder too"
Mulder strode through the halls, with Scully walking as fast as she could to keep up with him. Doggett met them halfway, turning and walking with them to the room where William was.
"Some sort of local PD have tried to take over. I ain't having none of it" Doggett muttered to them.
"Hey!" Mulder yelled through the glass, startling Scully and Doggett both.
"HEY!" He slammed open the door, grabbing the police officer who was roughly shoving William around and rammed him against the wall. The officer slid down the wall, knocked unconscious as Mulder was dragged off by security, arguing with them the whole way.

"I can't believe I had to bail you out" Scully looked almost amused.
"It's not the first time"
"No,definitely not" She smirked.
"What? I was standing up for my rights!"
"Which are...?" She gave him a glare, before continuing on. "William is fine, and the evidence to back him up is getting better"
"What evidence?"
"The fact that someone witnessed him out in his backyard the night of the murder"
"His backyard?"
"It just gets stranger. He has no recollection of being there"
Mulder was speechless. No recollection of being there? How? He wondered, realising although not everything was an x file, there was definitely something going on here. If they didn't figure it out soon, the consequences could cost them their son.
"Doggett and Reyes are at his house now, looking for anything that could explain this"
"Mulder?! How so you expect to do this? He's doesnt even know he's our son!"
"We can't stand by and watch! Do you want to see him taken? Taken away from you? Given the same news as you were given about me? The death sentence?"
"Maybe its not the police taking him that we need to worry about" came a familiar voice from behind them, startling the two from their useless argument. They both turned to see agent Reyes stood behind them.
"Theres something I need to show you"
