Dana changed back into her street clothes. She'd spent the afternoon trying
on shoes and jewelry to go with her dress. No more decisions had been made
about anything else.
She stepped out the door.
"Wait Dr Scully!" You forgot your stethoscope!" an attendant called after her.

Fox walked down the sidewalk with Samantha. As they crossed the street on front of the bridal shop, he saw the woman stepping out. An attendant stopped her and handed her a stethoscope.
"So she's a doctor.." He thought.
"Fox! Watch it!"
But then, the Cadillac slammed into him.

Dana heard the woman scream and looked up just in time to see a man get hit by a Cadillac.
"Oh my God!" she exclaimed, rushing into the street. All traffic had stopped.
It had been a long time since Dana had been scared. Even when she was in the middle of surgery and something was going wrong, she wasn't frightened in the least. But now, she was terrified. Why? She couldn't exactly say but there was something about that man.
The man was sprawled across the road in front of the car. His eyes were closed but his chest moved up and down steadily.
She knelt beside him, automatically taking his pulse and respiration rate.
A woman rushed up behind her. "Oh my god! Fox!"
"M'am, do you know this man?" Dana questioned.
"Yes! He's my brother, Fox!" she replied, frantic with distress. "Are you a doctor?"
"I'm not only a doctor, I'm a neurosurgeon," she answered. "What is your name?"
"Samantha," she answered. "Samantha Mulder."
"Well Samantha, if you'll look in my purse, you'll find my cell phone. I want you to dial 911. Can you do that for me?"
Samantha nodded and Dana turned back to the man. There was a hard, swollen lump on the back f his head. Blood dribbled from his lip, eyebrow, and hair. She began dabbing his wounds with her handkerchief.
He moaned and his eyes fluttered open.
"Fox? Fox Mulder?" Dana said. "I'm Dr. Dana Scully. You were hit by a car. Don't try to get up. We're waiting for the ambulance."
He mumbles something incoherently. The only word she could decipher was "angel."
She touched his forehead. Something like an electric shock rocked through her body. What was this strange new feeling?
Meanwhile, as Dana was sorting out the feeling she was experiencing in the depths of her heart and soul, the paramedics arrived.
"Don't worry M'am, we've-Dr. Scully?" one of them said. "What are you doing here?"
"I was just at my final fitting. Just as I was coming out, he was hit," she explained.
The paramedic nodded. "What can you tell me?"
"He doesn't appear to be extremely hurt. Broken ribs, probably internal bleeding, and an obviously broken arm. It's been a while since I've had to deal with stuff other than brains."
The paramedic, Tom, nodded as he lifted the stretcher with Fox on it. "I kind of understand. You've been in neurosurgery for, what? Six years now?"
Dana smiled nervously. "do you mind if I ride with you?" she asked. "My car is still at the hospital and I'm too lazy to walk."
