Sorry I haven't updated for a very long time, was away, then busy, then procrastinating. Will update again soon.

Scully awoke to sunlight and the sound of sobbing. Her eyes flew open immediately, she lay in the boot of the car, and her hands had been bound, but were now cut free.

She carefully looked out of the boot. She was in the middle of nowhere. She looked around for the source of the crying and saw Dr Hanover, standing over the edge of a cliff. His phone lay smashed to pieces half way between them.

Scully slowly swung her legs out the car, and got out the boot, her body cracking in objection.

"Hello Dana," he sniffed

Scully froze. Her eyes fixed on him, he turned to look at her, smiling at her fear.

"Don't worry, your free to go."

"Where!? We are in the middle of nowhere." Scully shouted marching over to him, her brief fear of him, had disappeared, and she knew he couldn't hurt her.

"I know, but I just want to make sure you know you're free to leave whenever, that I'm not holding you against your will." Hanover smiled, turning to look at her.

Scully stared at him in disbelief. He had to be kidding. Suddenly a feeling of nausea and dizziness struck her, her hand instinctively went to her head, as she teetered on her heels.

He was at her supporting in a second, looking at her face, for any signs of pain. He liked the feeling of his arm around her waist.

"Let me go." She said, as the dizziness settled, pulling away from him. She rested against the car door, breathing deeply.

Hanover came over to her, passing her a bottle of water.

"Is it drugged?" she said venomously

"No!" he said dismayed, "I would never hurt you. You have to believe that Dana."

"You abducted me!" Scully shouted back, sick of him trying to make himself appear innocent.

"To protect you, you have to understand."

"What about the others? Mulder? Holly? Reyes? Do their lives not matter?"

Hanover broke eye contact with her, and placed the water on the floor by her, walking away.

"One day you'll understand." He whispered

"No! Tell me they are alright!" Scully ran after him, turning him to face her. "Why were you crying? Tell me!"

"They are all dead, except Mulder." Hanover said coldly, he had shed his tears for his fallen comrades, and had to move on now. Keep fighting, keep running. "They will use Mulder to try and get to you."

Scully gasped, it was all too much to take in. Tears sprung to her eyes.

"You did this," her voice cracked as she spoke, he reached to put an arm around her and she pushed him away. "Don't touch me."

"Please don't be like that, I had to, before Holly betrayed all of us. If I hadn't we wouldn't have been apply to infect the supply." Hanover said, continuing to get closer to Scully.

Scully looked at him pure hatred in her eyes. Hanover reached into his pocket and handed Scully her phone. She looked at the screen, and her brow knitted, 4 missed calls from Mulder.

"He wouldn't want you to go back, he'd want you to live, keep the vaccine alive." Hanover said getting closer to Scully. "Go ahead call back. Then you'll see I'm right."

Hanover walked away and went to sit in the car. Scully stood alone, thinking, she knew Hanover was right, she stared at her phone. She knew there was no way she could save him.

Scully took a swig of the water, cooling her parched throat, she wondered where Hanover had taken her, it didn't really matter, she supposed, it would a small place, where he could hide, and live the rest of his live. There was no way though Scully was joining him.

Taking a deep breath for strength, Scully rang Mulder's phone.

"It's me." She said strongly as she heard the click of it being answered.

"Good to hear from you Dr, how are you?" Strughold's taunting voice replied

"Cut the crap. How are Mulder and the others? What do you want from me?"

"Mulder is fine, for now. And you know what I want." Strughold paused to smoke "I want you, here. I don't care if Hanover join you or not. You have 24 hours before I kill Mulder. I hope to see you."

Strughold hung up, leaving Scully dazed, nothing he said had surprised her, and it was what she had been expecting. However actually hearing his words, his ultimatum, left her cold.

Scully steadied herself, she had to maintain the appearance she was in control, and she couldn't crumple. She walked over to the car, and sat in the passenger seat. Hanover hid his smile.

"Are you sure the virus has been infected? That they haven't made more." Scully said quietly

"Yes, they have shipped out already." Hanover nodded "but, they will make more, try to infect those who haven't become immune. That's why you need to stay alive."

"Please, Hanover, take me to Mulder." Scully begged

"I can't, I'm sorry. If you want to go to him, you can get out of the car now."
