Chapter 6: Leaving Texas

Mulder and I sat in the airport, now warm and dry. I was still a bit shaken from the previous night's activities, but I felt better. My finger was fixed, I had stitches in my right leg, and band-aids covered some small cuts over my face, but other than that I was okay. "I'm sorry you didn't get to see more of Texas, Mulder," I murmured.

"Nah. It's okay, Scully. I'm sorry I didn't arrest Kerns. You were right," Mulder uttered.

I yawned, "It's gonna be a long flight home."

"Ye," Mulder replied, "But I can't wait to get there."

"Mmm," I mumbled and put my head on his shoulder, and he put his arm over me. I didn't know why Kerns had tried to kill me, and I didn't know what had happened to Carrie, but I did know that I was happy to be leaving Texas.
