Chapter Four: Summer Walks
It was a perfect summer night, warm with a cooling breeze blowing about. Mulder walked through the sleepy town, deep in thought. He understood why his mother hadn't told him that William Mulder was not his biological father. How was he going to get more information? Did the Cigarette Smoking Man know something about why Samantha was taken? Mulder briefly thought back to his senior year of high school. The CSM had been there, as Creaux, a teacher. Why was he there? What was he up to now? And, where the hell had those alien abduction files gone?
Renee Knight prowled around in the night, thinking many of the same thoughts as Mulder. She eventually found herself in the park and sat on a swing. She knew it was no coincidence that Spender, Mulder and herself were all wanted for the FBI Academy. 'Something is going on and damn it, I'm going to find out what!' She thought as she angrily pumped her legs, making the swing go high. As she fell back, she felt herself collide with something solid and then get pulled off the swing into the sand.
"Oomph!"
"Ow!"
"What are you doing?"
"What am I doing? What are you doing?" her 'attacker' said. The man pushed Renee off and then rolled on top of her. "I've been trying to track you down for hours and when I finally do, you fall on me!" he exclaimed brushing his long hair out of his blue eyes.
"Oh, you're talking to me now?" Renee snapped at Langly. Why did he have to make everything so hard? "And you pulled me. I didn't fall."
"Liar," replied Langly smiling. He saw Renee open her mouth to argue, but cut her off, knowing what she was going to say. "Just because we broke up doesn't mean I don't still lo - care about you. I miss you."
Renee sighed and looked away. "I miss you too, Richard, but you're the one that broke it off with me. Where it goes form here is your choice." Langly gazed down at her. He cupped her chin gently in his hand, turning her face toward him. He kissed her then and was surprised when she kissed him back. Minutes later, they were both laughing thinking about how stupid it was, laying in the sand under a swing set.
Mulder, arriving in the park, shook his head and ran over to his friends. "This is more like it! Took you long enough!" Later, the three sat in a tunnel talking. Mulder laughed, "This reminds me of the time we all ran away from home."
"Yeah, all we need now is Frohike in a Superman cape and Byers lecturing us," grinned Langly.
"We were so stupid," Renee said, shaking her head.
"Yeah, but it sure was simple then," replied Mulder, leaning back against the tunnel. He and Renee glanced at Langly and then filled him in.
I know, short. It's a linking chapter :)
Review please. :)
