Chapter Four - The Man Of Mystery
"What do you mean he doesn't exist? I saw him myself wrapping himself around Scully like he was a piece of saran wrap."
"Calm down Mulder or people will think you're jealous of this guy"
Mulder stopped his pacing and plunked himself down on a chair. "Well, maybe I am - just a little. Although I have no idea why, none of Scully's other boyfriends bothered me this much."
"Maybe this time you are worried about loosing her."
"Perhaps, but what I am feeling is not important. We need to find out who the guy is. Scully was acting weird and I want to make sure nothing is wrong."
Frohike turned back to the computer and switched over to another screen. "Perhaps we can find something on him going through the government files'
A few keystrokes later and Alex Krycek's picture popped onto the screen.
"Hey Mulder, check this out"
Mulder patted Frohike on the back in thanks "Where did you find him."
"An old CIA file - looks like he used to work for them a few years back. Perhaps that is why we can't find anything on him now. They helped him disappear."
"Or made him"
"What did he do when he was there?"
Frohike poked through the screens and sighed "Not much info here. From what I can tell he worked on some sort of intelligence mission. Traveled all around the world working on something for the government."
"Where?"
Frohike showed the page that displayed where Krycek had been stationed to Mulder who read it quickly. His frowned grew as he read on.
"Do you realize what all these places have in common?"
"No"
"Most of them are UFO hot spots. Think that has anything to do with his sudden interest in Scully?"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ FBI Headquarters Monday morning
Scully appeared to be back to normal when she arrived back at the office on Monday morning. Even so, Mulder knew better than to ask her how she felt.
She would tell him when she was ready. Hopefully that would be sooner instead of later.
Mulder had just started to go over the file he had started about the information the Lone Gunmen had come upon. He was showing Scully the pictures that had been taken when he heard footsteps coming down the hall.
Seeing it was Krycek opening the door, he casually put the photos into their file and stuck it in his drawer.
"Good morning" Krycek said as he entered the room carrying two coffees and a small paper bag.
"Morning" Mulder and Scully said at the same time.
Krycek found it funny that they didn't seem to notice but said nothing. "I felt a bit bad Agent Mulder about stealing your date away from you the other night so I brought coffee as a peace offering."
"Just plain Mulder is fine" Mulder said rising to take the coffee from Krycek and shaking his hand. "This wasn't necessary but definitely appreciated on a Monday morning, right Scully?"
Scully nodded but said nothing as Krycek bent over and kissed her on the cheek. It seemed to Mulder that she almost winced in pain when Krycek lightly touched her arm.
Almost immediately after the kiss, Scully seemed to change. Most people would not have noticed but Mulder did. She seemed to loose focus of everything else and only had eyes for Krycek.
"Maybe she does love him" Mulder thought to himself.
"I was wondering if I could borrow Dana for a little while Mulder. I have to go out of town tonight and I wanted to make sure I said goodbye to Dana properly." "Sure, you two take a walk or something. Nothing here that can't wait awhile."
Mulder noticed that Scully simply rose at Krycek's request and followed him from the room. She was acting strange that was for sure but why, was the question.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Krycek had spotted a supply room on his way to their office and quickly pulled Scully into it. He had her skirt up around her waist and was within her within seconds. He kept his mouth on hers to stifle her moans of passion which came quickly.
"Dana, I want you to listen to me now."
Scully just looked at him with dazed eyes. "I am in love with you and you are in love with me. So in love that you would do anything to preserve our relationship. Understand?"
Scully nodded.
"Tell me"
"Alex, I love you so much. I only want to be with you. I only want to make you happy. Let me show you."
Even Krycek was impressed with the way Scully was able to arouse him again so quickly with her mouth. She finished him off and smiled up at him seeking his approval.
"I need to go now Scully. You think I will be out of town tonight but you will leave your door open anyway. Understand?"
"Yes Alex."
"Oh and Dana, if anyone asks you how you are feeing, tell them you are fine. Do not let them examine you. They will hurt you if they do."
"Yes Alex"
"Goodbye Dana."
"Goodbye Alex"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Mulder considered himself a pretty tolerant man. He knew that this guy Krycek and Scully seemed to have feelings for each and he truly understood their need to say goodbye to each other properly, but it was over an hour since they had left the office. His patience was running thin.
After a few more minutes, he had enough and decided to look for them. He immediately spotted the open door to the supply room and poked his head inside. He was surprised to see Scully slouched down in the corner.
She was fast asleep.
"Scully, Scully wake up." Mulder shook her lightly at first and a bit stronger when the lighter shakes didn't seem to work.
He tapped her face lightly and was surprised when she grabbed his hand and pulled his face towards hers trapping his lips in a kiss. This was not a sleepy kiss but a passionate one that promised much more to come.
Mulder felt himself respond and quickly broke the kiss. Although he had fully enjoyed it, he knew that something was definitely wrong. The whole situation stunk to high heaven.
Mulder finally was able to get Scully to wake up. After questioning her for awhile, he realized that she seemed to remember very little about what had transpired in the last hour or so. She was shocked to find herself in the supply room.
"Mulder, what was I doing in the supply room?" Scully asked as she sipped the coffee Mulder had reheated for her.
"Judging by your appearance, I would say that you were giving Alex a proper send off."
"You mean" Scully couldn't finish the thought. She was turning beet red at the mere thought of it.
"Yes, I think you and Alex were doing the tango of love in there."
Scully's eyes widen in fear "And I don't remember it? How could that be?"
"I don't know Scully, I just don't know. But maybe we should get you checked out, just in case."
"No Mulder, I'm fine. Just a little tired."
Mulder knew it would be useless to argue with her, but did take her home himself. Once there he made her a cup of tea before joining her on the couch.
She surprised him by snuggling up next to him like a small child seeking protection. "What is it Scully?"
"I don't know Mulder. I really don't know. When I am with you I always feel safe and loved and even though I don't like to admit it, protected. With Alex it is different. I can't explain my feelings - part of me realizes I don't even know the man but another part of me is telling me that I am in love with him. Which part do I listen to?"
Mulder pulled her close and gave her a kiss on top of her head. He had to agree with her that her sitting with him like this just felt right. But he had also seen what Alex seemed do to her by just being in the same room with her.
"I wish I could answer that for you Scully, but you are the only one who can."
They stayed like that for a long time until Mulder knew he had to return to work. "Get some sleep Scully and tomorrow we can start working on those satellite photos. With a bit of luck, we can get enough background work done so we can head to Idaho sometime next week."
Mulder tucked Scully into bed and bent down to kiss her forehead goodbye trying very hard not to think about the things Krycek and Scully had done in this very bed. He thought that perhaps he would call Amanda up when he returned from work to see if she was free that night. Perhaps a little time with her would make him feel better. He locked the door when he left.
Shortly afterwards Scully rose from her bed and walked to the door and unlocked it. She returned to bed to sleep already forgetting what she had done.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Scully's apartment 1am
He came into the apartment as quiet as a mouse. He approached Scully's bed and heard her stir. He paused a second getting the microscopic needle ready. Tonight he would only give her the smallest of doses. Just enough to open her mind to suggestions for about an hour or so.
Krycek smiled as he gently stuck her with the needle. He was feeling a bit horny tonight and Scully had proven to be an excellent lover. He still could not believe that Mulder had yet to take advantage of the opportunity that was literally standing right under his nose.
Krycek stripped out of his clothes and spread Scully's legs. She liked all the attention he gave her but seemed to truly enjoy when he slowly licked her and bit her until she begged him to finish her off. He thought it would be the appropriate way to wake her. It would be her reward for carrying out his dirty work for him.
Scully rolled her head back and forth not wanting the dream to end. She was dreaming of Mulder and he was doing wonderful things to her body. He was teasing her and nibbling at her until she wanted to weep.
"Oh Mulder, please, please"
Krycek stopped his activities and smiled to himself. Apparently he had interrupted a dream about Mulder. He decided to make the dream a more interesting one and began using his fingers as well.
Scully began to chant Mulder's name over and over again until she finally crested and then she was silent. Krycek gave her a moment to recover and then entered her bringing her to yet another peak.
She called out Mulder's name once again.
Instead of being angry Krycek actually sympathized with her. "Dana, he is wonderful, isn't he? Someday we will have him together, you and I."
Scully only nodded.
"Dana, do you remember how much I love you and how much you love me. There is nothing but honesty between us."
"I know Alex, I love you."
"Good. Now Dana, you know you can always trust me but there is someone who you shouldn't trust. Mulder"
Scully shook her head. "I can trust Mulder"
"Dana, how often has he put himself ahead of you? How do you know that his truth is the real truth? There are other truths out there. Ones that won't hurt you."
"Mulder would never hurt me"
"Mulder cannot be trusted Dana. Do you understand me?"
Scully still shook her head. Krycek glanced at the clock and knew that the medication would be wearing off soon. He would have to continue this another time.
"Dana, tomorrow night I want you to leave the door open again. And tonight lock it after I leave."
"Yes Alex"
"Oh, I almost forgot. Dana, what did you and Mulder talk about today?"
"I told him that I might be in love with you."
"And him, did he tell you anything?"
"He wanted to talk about some satellite pictures he had. Wants to go to Idaho next week."
"You have done well, Dana"
Krycek took her once more before quickly dressing and leaving the apartment. Scully left her bed awhile later and walked over to the door and locked it. She was going to go back to bed but was too tired to go that far, so she lay down on the couch and fell asleep.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Krycek was on his cell phone within a minute of returning to his car.
"He has seen the pictures and he seems to be falling for the bait"
"Excellent, and her?"
"She is resisting the suggestions I am giving her about Mulder. I think I will have to visit her a few more times."
"Is that safe? No one has received more than a few doses of that medication. How can we be sure it will not have any long term affects on her?"
"We can't be sure. All we can do is hope that she can stay together until they get to Idaho. After that, we will no longer be needing Agent Scully's services."
"Do you really think this will bring around the end of Agent Mulder?"
"Her turning on him will lead to either his death or his total breakdown. Of that, I am sure."

End of chapter four. Comments anyone?
