"You know if you want her, there are other ways to get her attention" the Director hesitated and smiled at Byers
"Oh I don't want your assassin, it's you I want" Byers looked at the Director confused
"Me?"
"Yes, why do you think I tried to get your pretty girl captured? Because I knew you wouldn't be too far behind to rescue and with all the attention focused on her no one would care if you just disappeared" Byers was speechless
"This was all a set up, the plane, you put that witness on the plane just so it would draw us out into the open…"
"You're a smart boy, so tell me Mr Byers, where is the money?" The Director asked as he held a sharp thin piece of metal rod over a fire that he had lit in a large burning furnace
"Money? What money?!" Byers was breathing heavy at the sight of the glowing metal rod
"Don't play dumb with me boy, you're father did that once and it landed him ten feet under water"
"My father? What do you know of my father?"
"More than you realise, now I'll ask you again" the Director lifted the rod from the fire "Where is the money?" Byers looked at the rod
"I… I…" Suddenly the director grabbed Byers's hand that was tied to the arms of the chair and placed the hot rod in it. Byers let out an agonizing scream
"ARGH!! I'm going to kill you, you sorry son of a… ARGH!!"
"Tisk, tisk didn't your mother ever teach you not to swear?" The Director lifted the red rod off of Byers's hand, the skin was burnt badly
"Argh!" Byers' eyes started to water and he tried to catch his breath
"Now Mr Byers, your father owed me a lot of money and at the last minute he decided to pull out of a deal that was already finalised and left me less a few million dollars"
"I don't know anything about that…"
"No but I do…" the Director turned around quickly with the rod in his hand to see Scully walking slowly with two guns in her hands at her side
"Well, well it didn't take you long to find me, I must say you're good at what you do" Scully smiled as she drew closer
"You're wasting your time with him, he doesn't know about the money my father hid"
"You're father? But I thought he…"
"My father took him in after his parents were kill in a car crash" the Director looked at her for a moment, she raised one of her guns at him
"Now I don't think that is fair do you?" he motion to the rod in his hand
"Nothings fair when you have my partner" the Director thought for a moment
"So if he doesn't know where the money is then it looks like I won't be needing him after all" Suddenly the director spun around and stabbed Byers in the stomach, Byers let out a scream before the Director ran into the darkness of the hanging steel beams, Scully opened fire on him but missed as she ran for Byers
"You're going to be ok" She demanded through clenched teeth, Byers coughed come blood
"I…I…"
"Shh, don't speak… Agent Mulder get in here NOW!!" Scully started to untied Byers as Mulder came running over; she started pulling out the rod
"ARGH!!" Suddenly Byers blacked out
"What happ?!…" Mulder came up beside her
"He's been hurt call the brothers they need to get him to a hospital and fast!" Scully reefed off the ropes as Mulder spoke into the com
"We need you here now! Byers is down! Repeat Byers is down!"
"Rogare that be there in a jiffy" Scully could hear the hum of the helicopter starting to land, she turned to Mulder
"Go with them, you make sure he gets to a hospital"
"You need help" Their eyes met
"I don't need any help" Mulder could have argued but nodded instead
"Be careful" Scully half smiled then turned and ran the way the director went. She ran down the long room dodging beams and rods until she reached a door. She slowly edged through it into a dimly lit room filled with several walkways hanging over a large drop. She could hear the helicopter taking off and kept her gun steady as she stepped quietly to the edge of one walkway, keeping her stance strong she peered over the edge
'At least 15meters down' Scully thought as her eyes glanced around listening to the emptiness…
"You should have died when you had the chance" Scully spun around fast but was whacked in the side of the head with a heavy metal rod causing her to drop her guns off the side of the walkway
"Oof!" Scully slammed into the rail hard
"Not so good now without your guns are you?" Scully rolled out of the way as the Director swung the rod again hitting one of the cables holding the walkway up. Scully rolled then back flipped onto her feet as he came at her again but Scully was quicker and grabbed the rod and swung her leg around hitting him in the face knocking the rod from his hand
"Not so good now without your rod are you?" Scully swung her fist and got his face then her leg whacking his chest sending him to the ground. As he fell the director grabbed a loose chain that was hanging and swung around with his legs as Scully ran for him, knocking her legs out from under her. Scully fell to the ground as the Director brought the chain down around her neck tightly
"You always were a thorn in my side" Scully tried to elbow him but his weight of his knee in her back was to heavy for her to lit off the ground
"G…g…" Scully reached for the chain but the Director pulled tighter
"They all said you could never be caught" Scully was gagging, her face was starting to go blue "Too bad it had to end this way, you could have been useful" he pulled again making her head go back, he leant down and whispered in her ear
"Goodbye" Suddenly there was a loud bang. Everything happened so fast for Scully, one minute the chains around her neck were tight the next they suddenly released and the pressure from her back was gone. Scully gasped for air as she slowly regained feeling in her limps then suddenly someone grabbed her arm and helped her up, swinging around she came face to face with…
"And you said you didn't need any help" Scully caught her breath as she looked at the Directors body lying on the ground
"And tell me Fox Mulder why you didn't you go to the hospital like I asked?"
"Asked? It was more like a demand if I recall" Mulder reached out and lifted her hair and saw the extensive amount of bruising on her neck "Are you ok?" He asked concerned, he gently leaned in closer to take a look, Scully caught her breath
"I'll be better when we get out of here" she said stepping past him gently brushing his shoulder as she went. Mulder turned around and looked at her back as she walk "If you tell anyone I needed help watchout" Mulder laughed
'You are one amazing woman' he thought as he followed her into the darkness

New secret hideout
"Hey Byers nice to see you're out and about again, hows the stomach?" Langly said taking another gulp of water
"It's good to be back, a little sore but I think I'll live" he said sitting down next to Langly "So where is the boss?" Kyrcek pushed a bottle of beer to Langly
"She's out back on the beach with the new boy" Byers looked out the window at the sunset and the two figures walking side by side
--
"So Fox Mulder, do you always come over this confident when it comes to woman?" Mulder laughed
"Only when it's the ones I like and the ones that I know that like me back" Scully stopped and faced him
"So you think I like you?" Mulder smiled and looked in her eyes
"I don't know you tell me?" Scully thought for a moment and leaned in slightly
"I think…"
"Yes?…" Mulder's lips were only centimetres away from hers
"You have a lot to learn about me Fox Mulder" she gently blew in his face then pulled back and turned to walk for the house leaving Mulder standing there
"Is that all the thanks I get for saving you?!" he yelled after her
"I never asked you to save me!" she called back over her shoulder
"Why you ungrateful…" Mulder laughed as he ran up behind her. After a few minutes they were back at the hideout
"About time, we just got a new client and apparently he want to talk to the famous assassin face to face" Byers said typing slowly on the computer, Scully sat down and pushed a strand of hair back from her face, Mulder came up behind her
"Ok let's get this over with, open transmission" Byers pressed a button and opened the channel and waited until a little short round bald man with glasses came on the screen
"Hello?" Scully asked looking at the man; he smiled and winked at her
"Why hello pretty lady…"
