Transmission Part 7

by Trycee

Scully and Mulder hugged each other tightly. It had been years since they'd been apart. He kissed her and could feel her tremble. "Its alright, Scully. I'll be back I promise."

He waved to her as he, Skinner and Doggett got into Skinner's car. Monica stood next to her waving back. Scully turned to look up at Monica and without her saying anything Monica said, "I feel good about their trip, it'll be alright."

Mulder looked around at the adoption agency door. It was dark outside still but he managed to open the door, Doggett stood watch in the alley, waiting for them to enter. He could barely see their flashlights flickering around the office as he stood on the outside. Skinner walked over to the offices. "There's four to choose from..."

"Eeeny Meeny Minney Moe", Mulder said, walking into the office on his left. He picked open the file cabinet and started searching through the records...He got to the S's and couldn't find her name. He moved on to the next office. He searched through the files in this one and couldn't find her name. "Any luck Walter?"

"Found it, Mulder!"

Mulder rushed over to where Skinner was standing, a manila folder in front of him. "He was adopted by Mr. And Mrs. Van De Kamp. I've got the address!"

"Good! Lets go!", Mulder said, as Skinner wrote it down. He carefully placed the folder back and they snuck back out the back door.

"He got it," Mulder said as they approached Doggett.

"Let's get out of here. Sun's coming up!", Doggett said, opening the car door. They got back into the car and Mulder picked up the phone dialing Scully's number.

"Mulder!", she said anxiously. "Did you find it?"

"Yes, we're heading that way...it'll be a couple of days. Did you sleep at all Scully?"

"No," she sighed. "Monica's asleep in the guest bedroom. I've got to get ready to go to work soon."

"You sure? Why don't you take another day off."

"The kids need me, Mulder. And the parents expect me to be there to take care of their kids."

"Well Scully, call me later. I'll let you know when we get there."

"Be safe Mulder."

"I will. You do the same." he said, hanging up.

Monica followed Scully into her office. She pointed to her computer. "Enjoy!", she said, looking apologetically at her.

"Dana, I'll be fine. I can self entertain, " she laughed.

"Alright, " Scully smiled. "If you need anything, call me. I'll be down the hall somewhere...Oh and if any of the other doctors ask, you're an old friend of mine..."

Monica looked surprised. "I have my badge, I can just show them. Its not a problem."

"I'm not sure many of my colleagues know I'm former FBI."

"Do you mind if I smoke?'

"You still smoke?"

Monica pulled out a pack. "I still smoke...changed brands though. Morley doesn't sit well with me any more."

Scully nodded. "Well, gotta make rounds, " she said, waving back to Monica who looked uncomfortable sitting at her desk.

As Scully walked down the hall, a familiar feeling washed over her and she felt the back of her neck tingle again. Oh no!, she thought. She turned back around and went straight back into her office. Monica could see Scully's face was flushed.

"He's here isn't he?", Monica spoke, pulling out her gun. "Lets find out!"

Monica walked in front of Scully as they made their way down the hall passing a few frightened nuns. Scully could feel herself drawn to a dark hallway, she pulled out her gun she had hoisted in her back. "Down here..."

They stopped when the dark haired Super Soldier stepped out from a room. "Hearing things?", he said, looking at them both.

"What do you want?", Monica demanded.

"We want the boy! We want to find him!"

"We don't know where he is!", Scully shouted. "You can't find him!"

"We will...", the man spoke.

A security guard walked up behind them. "Hey, what's going on here?"

Monica flipped open her badge and flashed it at the guard. He backed up a little bit but continued to stand there. Scully turned to him. "Leave!"

The guard was surprised that she had a gun as well. Just then the Super Soldier pushed past them both, knocking the security guard to the ground. He turned back to them. "We will find him...we will kill him!"

Scully and Monica kept their guns pointed at him. He turned and walked off. They watched him go down the hallway. She flipped open her phone. "Mulder he was here."

"You okay Scully? Is Monica?" She could hear the nervousness in his voice.

"Fine...what about you?"

"Still on the road...we've got a long drive ahead of us. Scully, what did he say this time?"

"He asked if we were hearing things and he said that they will find him."

"This has to end Scully."

"Mulder...I don't think the voice is coming from William! I think Monica was right."

Mulder was silent. Doggett was driving but he was looking at Mulder through the rear-view mirror. "Then this was their plan all along..."

"I think so Mulder."

"I'll call you when we get there. Let me know if anything else happens."

"I will...and Mulder..."

"Yes?"

"I love you..."

"I love you too, " he said, hanging up.

Doggett looked back at him. "Everything alright?"

"We're being set up...this was their plan all along. The super soldier showed up at the hospital again but didn't touch them."

"Damn it!", Doggett said. "What do we do?"

Skinner sat next to Doggett in the passenger seat. "There's nothing we can do but still try to find him."
