A/N: Thank you to all of my dedicated readers. You guys are awesome! After I finish each chapter, another idea pops into my head. So, the story is actually turning out completely different than I expected, but good different. Enjoy!
The next day
Mulder proudly pulled up to the big blue house in his rental car, as he noticed Scully open the door and smile. And before he could even get out of the car, Scully was already standing next to the car.
Mulder rolled down his window, smiling. "Hey you."
Scully leaned in to the opening of the window. "Hey."
"Jeez Dana, you in a rush?" Mulder teased.
"Scully." Dana corrected him, smirking.
Mulder chuckled. "Scully." He eyed her up and down. That made him very happy. "Well, get in then."
Scully wasted no time walking to the other side of the car like a sixteen-year-old girl in love for the first time. Getting in, she sighed contently and looked over at Mulder.
"Are you sure you're ready for this?" Mulder asked, softly.
"Yes." Dana smiled.
Mulder gazed at Scully for a moment, before reversing out of the driveway, and driving off down the road. *Just like old times* Mulder thought to himself.

A few hours later
Dana stood there with her arms crossed, intensely observing Mulder, as he asked one of the abductee victims questions. Mulder briefly eyed Dana a few times, amused with how much more interested Scully was in that moment than she ever had been before.
"And there are some things that I can't remember. As if parts of my memory were erased. And when I came to, I had these marks on me." The blonde woman explained, lifting her hair up off her neck to show Mulder.
Mulder observed the three deep pink puncture marks, which looked like a triangle if he were to connect the dots.
"Alright. Thank you for your time Mrs. Jameson." Mulder politely shook the woman's hand, motioning for Dana to follow him back to the car.
But when Mulder noticed the ghostly complexion of Dana's face, as she stood there in a daze, he pulled her aside, lightly touching her arm. "Scully, what's the matter?"
Dana looked up at Mulder, with a panicked look on her face. "Mulder-I have those same exact marks on my neck."
Mulder crinkled his forehead in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Dana turned around and lifted the hair off the back of her neck, instantly stopping Mulder in his tracks, as he looked at the same exact marks. "Oh my god." Mulder replied, lightly touching the marks.
After a moment, Dana turned around to face Mulder, as her breathing quickened. "When I had that accident and found out I had amnesia, I was told that the mystery marks were from my accident." She explained nervously.
Mulder ran a shaky hand through his hair. "Why didn't you tell me this before?"
Dana shook her head. "I was told that it wasn't a cause for concern." She explained.
Mulder eyed Dana nervously. "I need to call Skinner. Scully, the accident may not have been an accident."
Dana swallowed hard. "What do you mean? I don't understand."
Mulder opened the car door for Dana, motioning for her to get inside. And once they were both in the car, Mulder turned towards Dana. "Scully, what if your memory was erased on purpose?"
Dana stared at Mulder as if he was missing his head. "Mulder-why the hell would someone do that to me?" She asked, a bit skeptical.
"Scully, you were abducted once before. And something doesn't feel right about all of this now." Mulder shook his head, starting the car.
Dana tried to hide the panic on her face. "I need to at least tell Jake, first. He's going to be worried about me."
Mulder sighed with frustration. "Scully, right now, you can't even trust Jake."
Dana shook her head, trying to process everything. "No. Jake is a good guy. He helped me. He saved my life. I at least owe him an explanation-and the truth."
Mulder looked away, pulling the car out on the open road. "Alright, alright. But I'm not leaving your side."
Dana nodded.

Dana watched Mulder pace the hotel room, as he talked to Skinner on the phone.
"Agent Mulder, do you have any solid proof to back up these claims?" Skinner asked firmly.
Mulder sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Not yet, sir."
"Well, then I can't help you until you do."
"But sir— "
"I want you back in Washington DC in 48 hours. With or without Dana."
Mulder hung up the phone, throwing it on the bed. "Dammit!"
Dana eyed Mulder with concern. "So, he's not going to do anything about it?" She asked.
Mulder shook his head, running a hand over the side of his face. "Listen Scully, I can't protect you if you stay here much longer." He explained.
Dana nodded in agreement, which took Mulder by surprise. "I trust you."

An hour later
Mulder and Dana got out of car and headed up to the big blue house.
"Alright, you get your things packed." Mulder quickly followed Dana into the house.
Dana nodded and headed towards her bedroom. How was she going to explain everything to Jake? She suddenly felt extremely light headed, as her head began to throb.
Mulder patiently waited in the living room for several minutes, as he paced the floor. But after ten minutes of silence, he decided to check on Scully.
"Scully?" Mulder knocked softly on the bedroom door. Silence.
Slowly opening the door, Mulder's stomach tightened, as he spotted Scully on the floor, grabbing her head.
"Scully! What happened?" Mulder quickly ran over to Scully, helping her stand up.
"Mulder-"Dana winced. "I think I just had another memory."
"What was it?" Mulder asked, holding Dana up.
Dana leaned into Mulder, trying to steady herself. "It's Jake."
Mulder eyed Dana, confused.
"Jake did this to me."
XxX
Jake sat in a dark room, listening intently to Mulder and Scully's conversation through headphones. Sighing, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"We have a problem."
"What is it?" Came the Cigarette Smoking Man's voice from the other end.
"She's starting to remember."
Cancer man sighed, taking a puff from his cigarette. "Alright. You know what to do."
To be continued…
A/N: I will explain Scully's memory in the next chapter, which will be posted later tonight, don't worry!
