The Next Morning.
Scully woke up in her hotel room to the sound of an alarm going off, 6:30 just like she had set it. Today was going to be busy. They had to get their belongings out of the house, check on Maddie and get to the crime scene by 9:00. She sighed 'This is going to be rough' She was dreading finding all those children. She shook off her doubts and got ready.
Mulder walked down the hall to Scully's door. A sudden rush of discomfort ran over his body, he shook his head briskly unsure of what he was feeling. 'We make a good team' ran through his head over and over again. He swallowed hard to ward the awkward feeling away. He knocked on the door and Scully opened.
"Ready to go?"
"Yeah." She bit her lip and shrugged.
"Something wrong?"
"No, I'm fine" She walked towards the front desk Mulder sighed and followed.
They reached Buena Tierra about 10 minutes later. Mulder and Scully packed quickly. Scully went to the car to load her luggage into the trunk. A familiar woman approached her. Sandra Foreman.
"Hi Sandra. How are you?" She smiled nervously.
"Hey Carmen, I'm good. I heard about what happened. So you all are FBI agents?"
She paused for a second not sure of what to say "Yes. Actually my name is Dana Scully. my partner Agent Mulder and I came here to investigate why children have been going missing. The girl Madison, is a 16 year old child prodigy. she was perfect for the part and I guess it worked."
"Wow. Yeah, we've known about that monster for a long time. We never knew who it was though. Whoever they were got my son, Tyler five years ago. We never knew who it was. That's why the community is so cautious about individuals. we know what's going to happen." She looked at the ground and sighed. "So how badly was Madison hurt?"
"She was very lucky. the bullet got lodged in her collarbone so no other damage was done."
"That's good. Well I must be going now, thank-you so much for coming here to help us. I'll be able to rest easier. My daughter can buy the spiked bracelets she wanted so badly."
"Not a problem. It's my job." She smiled and walked inside. Mulder was nowhere to be found. She checked the rooms in the house at last finding him in Maddie's room. He was reading a little composition notebook labeled "Maddie is English for Blatantly Offensive!" Scully shook her head 'Maddie humor' she thought.
"Mulder! Don't go through her stuff!"
He looked up a little surprised "well I wasn't sure what to do with her stuff. Luckily she didn't unpack many things, except her CD player and this notebook that was lying open on the floor.. She wrote about us."
"Well, still its not right. what did she say?"
"Here's where I left off 'Today was uneventful to say the most. I went out to the mall for a little while with Cami. It was nice to see her, but that's not what I'm caring about at the moment. This probably sounds so juvenile from me but what can I say? I'm finding this cute. kind of. Mulder and Scully are two of the nicest people I have ever encountered. They have some issues though'" Mulder gave an offended look and then continued "'They're both very experienced and some damn good agents. They're idiots though. they're completely in-' Oh" Mulder looked at the journal in surprise.
"Oh what?" Scully raised her eyebrows.
"Nothing.Nothing at all, your right we shouldn't be reading this." He felt nervous. Scully's reaction to Maddie's written word wouldn't be good.
"Well you got to see it so I should too" She hastily grabbed the notebook out of his hand and continued to read it to herself.
'They're idiots though. they're completely in love. She kissed him the other night and then ran out saying she couldn't handle a relationship. she so could. From what I've seen they've practically had one since they started working together. I'm going to leave this out in the open somewhere. so if either Mulder or Scully is reading this I'm saying "get on with it!" wow I sound retarded. I'm going to bed'
Scully turned red. "Um. wow"
"Yeah. I guess, she sees a lot."
"Maybe more then we see"
"I think she might be right" He smiled "Well on my side at least"
Her eyes widened "Mulder."
"Scully, wait. I can't deny this anymore. I want to be with you, I don't care what the Bureau thinks. hell they think we're together anyway. I'll do anything for you. You've meant the world to me for years now. You're always the first thing on my mind. I love you. and you should know that"
Scully's eyes began to water she wasn't sure how to react. 'He loves me. He loves me? This isn't completely rational but I just cant hold it back any longer'
"Mulder. I'm not sure why I'm afraid to say this but I love you too"
Mulder stood up and walked over to her. He stared into her ice blue eyes, which locked with his. He leant in and gave her a gentle kiss. She responded with a much deeper one. What was only a few moments seemed like an eternity. She broke the kiss and looked up at him and smiled.
"You're not going to walk out in an angry rush again are you?" He smiled
She smiled brightly back, something he didn't see very often. "Not angry and not alone. but we do need to get to the hospital and the crime scene" She held his hand "Ready?"
"Definitely"
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
They reached the hospital and went to Maddie's room. Scully gave her a bag of extra clothes.
"You packed my stuff?" Maddie asked
"Yeah all of it" Mulder smiled
"Oh, I get it. The notebook." She shifted her eyes down. "Did you read it" She chuckled nervously.
"Yes. You're quite the opinionated writer. I enjoy your opinions though" Scully smiled as Maddie caught on immediately.
She squealed like any girl her age would "You guys made up! I'm so happy for you! Congratulations I knew you would." She smiled brightly.
Mulder had a slight smile, he noticed she had no IV's hooked up. "Thanks Mad, when are you being released?"
"My doctor said I could leave today I just can't do any heavy lifting. he said I could still go investigate with Scully and you. I really don't want to miss anymore of this case."
"Alright. well I think there is a suit in this bag. We have to be there at 9:00 so go get ready, we'll go get you checked out" They walked out of the room leaving a thrilled Maddie to get dressed.
Maddie met them at the desk dressed in a dark brown skirt and jacket suit. A far stretch from the outfits she had worn over the course of the week. A doctor came over to talk to Mulder and Scully.
"Madison is very lucky, her collarbone will completely recover, she might be in a little pain from where we removed the bullet so I gave her a prescription of Tylenol with Codeine. Just make sure she doesn't do much heavy lifting or driving. I'm not sure if she listened to me, she's very ambitious"
"You have to be in this line of work," Mulder said with a nod.
The doctor handed Maddie some papers to bring home and they left the hospital. They arrived at the accident scene a little before 9:00. Scully walked towards a police officer and flashed her badge. The officer seemed very relieved to see her.
"Agents. We're so glad you came"
"Did you recover the bodies?" Mulder questioned.
"I guess you could say that. I'd like you to take a look at this" He lead the agents to the backyard. They reached an area that looked like it could have only come out of a horror movie.
Maddie stood in shock "That could've been me"
"Oh my god" Scully looked up at Mulder whose face was a mix of horror and rage.
He said in a low voice "That sick bastard"

Alright, I know that Chapter has little to do with the case. but I've gotten so many requests to resolve the Mulder and Scully problems. Honestly I had no clue how to. Hopefully this chapter was somewhat enjoyable. Before I let you go I received a request to write what songs my chapter titles came from. If you didn't know, all my chapters are from songs. so before I get sued here they are.
Chapter one Déjà vu is from "Déjà vu" by Ann-Drogeny (woohoo! My friends band)
Chapter two Don't be fooled is from "Jenny from the Block" by J.Lo
Chapter three Sour Girl is "Sour Girl" by Stone Temple Pilots
Chapter four Get it together and chapter five See what's happening are from "Get it Together" by the Beastie Boys
All right that was pointless but there you go. Anyone who can name the song from the chapter title in upcoming chapters gets a gold star!
Thanks for reading! Reviews are greatly appreciated!
