The Rescue
The ASAC leant next to the door and counted the police to enter. "5, 4," he said, before mouthing, "3, 2, 1." As soon as he counted one, the police barged the door down with their door breaker. Then they let the FBI agents through before the rest of the police team burst in after them. It was dark in the abandoned warehouse, so Mulder and Skinner had to turn on their torches.
"Scully," Mulder said worriedly. He looked around, not knowing whether or not to shout her name incase he put her in more danger. "Scully?" he asked. Skinner and the police spread out and searched the bottom floor of the warehouse, but couldn't see anyone.
After searching the first floor, Skinner pointed his torch to the elevators that rested in the middle of the warehouse. As he made his way towards the elevator, with Mulder in tow, he pointed the torch at the floor, and it wasn't long before he could make out a trail of blood leading towards the elevators. "Mulder," Skinner said softly, gesturing towards the blood. Mulder saw the sight and the two looked at each other. "I'll go upstairs," Mulder said straight away. Skinner then gestured to some of the police. "These guys will go with you. I'll keep searching around here with the rest of the police," he told him.
Mulder nodded and made his way to the stairs with four police officers by his side. They didn't take the elevator as they weren't sure the elevators were working properly. So they took the stairs. Then Mulder saw the trail of blood again and showed it to the police officers. The trail led up the stairs. With Mulder leading them, the police made their way up stairs.
"Scully," Mulder called softly. He followed the trail. It was just going to turn a corner when something leapt out and struck Mulder on the head with a heavy blow. There was an inhuman screech as Mulder collapsed, and a figure knocked the gun out of Mulder's hands, before pushing the police officers down and managed to escape the bullets that the rest of the police fired. Mulder groaned as he lay on the floor, and the figure turned back into the darkness.
"Agent Mulder!" the ASAC cried as he knelt down next to him. "How badly are you hurt?" he asked worriedly. Mulder moaned. "My head," he said. Then he opened his eyes. "Get the rest of the team," he managed to say slowly as he rolled onto his back. "Go after Scully," he said. "All right, then we're getting you to a hospital," the ASAC said. He then gestured for the rest of the officers to carry on searching, before getting on his radio and radioing Skinner about the situation. "OK," Skinner replied when he was told what had happened.
"Get Mulder to a hospital. I'll take it from here," he said. "Remember, the figure appeared to be masculine, and very strong. My officers that the figure pushed over are just getting up from the floor now," the ASAC said. "OK, copy that," Skinner said, before finishing the call.
