Chapter Six - And Cannot Keep It

They close the squeaky motel door behind them, carrying the small cases they had packed. The sun was high and radiating an immense heat. Scully got in the driver's seat while Mulder put their belongings in the trunk. Scully had the ignition running waiting for him to get in the car. As soon as he was seated she zoomed off down the dusty track, leaving clouds of dust behind them. She had less than two hours to get to the airport and was wasting no time in doing so. Mulder was getting extremely restless; making nonsense small talk, dancing around the question her was dying to ask. Instead asking questions he had asked her countless times in the last nine years. He is extremely curious, by nature, and he is desperate to know what is in the largest of her bags, but she still wont reveal it to him - even if he resorts to asking stupid questions to irritate her into confessing! Finally, Mulder shuts up and they continue their journey in silence. They drive like this for what seemed to them as an eternity of quiet until they reach the car park outside the airport.

"Okay, Scully quit with the games and tell me where we're going."

Scully doesn't reply, just looks at his chiseled features and smirks at him. This is a secret she loves keeping from him, until they get to where she plans to take them. He shrugs his shoulders, trying to pretend he doesn't care anymore but Scully sees right through the facade, she can tell that her secretive behaviour is bugging him. 'Let him suffer' she thinks to herself, 'he's done it to me plenty of times.' She unfastens her seatbelt and steps out of the car to stand beside it until Mulder follows suit. Then she walks around to the trunk and takes their bags out and walks toward the airport entrance. Mulder walks alongside her, still wondering what she is hiding from him and hoping it is, for once, a good secret. By the look he sees in her eyes, it is but he cannot decipher what it could be and it bothers him to no end. She leaves him standing at the waiting area and waits at the checkin desk for their tickets to Scotland. She decides to finally put him out of his misery and at least tell him where they are going.

"Here, Mulder you can stop worrying now you know where we're headed."

She smiles at him, a sweet and innocent smile, knowing that he does not appreciate being kept in the dark and relishing in his anguish.

Their flight is finally called to board, after a long delay. They eventually are seatedon the plane and it begins it's depart. Mulder has to fulfil at least one curiosity even if he doesnt know what she has planned when they get there.

"So why are we going to Scotland?"

"To be more specific, its Glasgow. And one, their government is separate from the English one which has connections with The Syndicate so it will be more difficult for them to find us, if any of them do turn up alive. And two...well you just have to wait and see."

She laughs at him as he gives her his best puppy-dog-eyes look, but it doesn't work this time, she still keeps her secret safe.
