Day Three
3:00 AM
Fox Mulder's Apartment
At the loud knocking on his door Mulder shot up from his couch, instantly alert and wary. He picked up his gun and stealthily crept to his apartment door and looked through the peep hole. What he saw was no one. He carefully opened the door. He looked left, he looked right, then he looked down and saw a very thick manila envelope. He gently picked up the envelope and took it into his apartment closing the door silently.
Mulder turned on the lamp near his couch illuminating his coffee table and half tossed the envelope down onto it while making his way to the kitchen. He pulled a carton of juice from the refrigerator and walked back to his couch and sat down. He opened the envelope to find three thick files. The one on top belonged to him, the second was Krycek's, the third was...
His world was facing apocalypse. How long had They been a threat to her. Was she threatened by what Krycek called Phase Two.
The third file was that of Dana Scully.
He had thought to read his file first, after seeing who each file belonged to. Now his own file completely forgotten. His hands griped Scully's file as if the world continued or ceased to be based upon the file's contents.
Medical Facility Time Unknown
"Her participation in the hybrid section of the Project has caused no permanent damage. The implant prevented ovarian function as hoped." stated the doctor as if discussing the weather.
"Good Doctor, Proceed with Phase Two." said the gray haired man around his cigarette. With that the doctor left the room, leaving CSM with the unconscious red-haired woman.
CSM stepped close to the woman and reached his handout to stroke her hair. He stepped away and pulled over a chair and seated himself next to her to wait for her to regain consciousness.
As he waited his mind drifted back to the first time he had seen his only daughter as an adult. He had watched her challenge Blevins with words and seen Blevins meet more than his match. He had looked at her and remembered the six year old he had watched playing in a school yard. He had seen her fall off the Jungle Jim and instinctively moved closer to check on her stopping himself less than twenty feet away. She had stood winced slightly and looked around. Her blue eyes scanned the yard, then returned to rest on him. She quickly walked toward him stopping just out of arms reach.
"Sir, My name is Dana Katherine Scully. My parents are William and Margaret Scully, they can be reached at 555-7872." She had said as calmly as if telling him the sky was blue. "Could you please call them. Sir, I think I may have broken my arm." "Of course. I'll call your parents. At the hospital." He had answered while reaching down and picking her up. He carried her to his car and drove to the hospital. While a doctor examined Dana he called the phone number. The phone rang.
Once..
Twice...On the third ring the phone was answered.
"Scully residence." Intoned a female voice.
"Mrs. Scully?" He asked
"Yes, Who is this?"
"Mrs. Scully, My name is Charles Jones. I was walking by the school and your daughter Dana fell off the Jungle_jim and hurt her arm. She told me this number and asked me to call you. I've taken her to the hospital. One of the doctors is examining her now. How soon can you get here?"
"I'll be there in twenty minutes."
With that the phone disconnected. Twenty minutes later Maggie Scully rushed into the ER. He had stayed until she arrived watching over Dana. But as a nurse directed her to where Dana was he knew he should not be there when she started looking for him. He found out how much the bill was and paid it. Then left the hospital.
