Chapter Sixteen

Mulder and Scully were enjoying a shower together when they heard the knock on the door.

"I don't remember calling room service, do you?"

"No, I'll go see who it is."

He stepped out of the bathroom and wrapped the fluffy towel around his waist. He opened the door cautiously but it was only one of the porter's with an envelope in his hand. He examined the envelope - the postmark is dated over a week ago.

"Scully, you've got mail!"

"Who's it from?"

"I dunno."

She reluctantly got out of the shower and wrapped herself in another of the hotel's white towels and walked into the bedroom to sit beside Mulder. She took the envelope from him and examined the envelope, trying to figure out whom it was from. She finally opened it:

Dear Dana (and Fox),

I am writing to tell you of recent events. I've had some weird dreams lately; I'm surrounded by endless white light and people are rushing around me while tests are being performed. I discovered that I also have an electronic chip in my neck and thanks to John reading your files, I will not remove it. I know, Dana, that these visions are similar to those you experienced in the time you were taken by Cancer Man's associates and I began to fear the worst. I mean, what if my baby is like William? What if I have to go through what you did and have to give him or her up? Sorry, if I have upset you, I don't mean to...

These 'memories' prompted John and I to conduct an investigation into what is left of the Shadow Syndicate and we came up with some very shocking discoveries. I myself was not taken for the same purpose as you. I was on the road at the time, had decided to take a year out before I went to college so no one was aware of my disappearance as I was not in contact with my parents nor with my friends. It was a time for me to be completely alone. As I say, I was not taken for the same purpose you were Dana. I was taken as part of a survey, the Aliens were apparently trying to help us humans by solving the problem of cancer and by reading your case files, they seem to have succeeded if they managed to cure the cancer you were diagnosed with. Your own abduction was arranged by 'C.G.B' Spender, as you already know, because he didn't want you and Fox to get any closer to the truth and he knew that without you, Fox would lose his will to fight for the truth he needed. C.G.B Spender made special arrangements for the production of your ova to be stopped so that you and Fox would not have a child to continue with your search for the Truth when the time came that you no longer existed.

However, I am told that C.G.B took a liking to you and could not bring himself to have you killed. And his plan didn't work, your return seemed to have left both of you more determined to fight, and you got closer to the Truth than C.G.B ever expected you to. He thought - or maybe hoped everything that had happened (your abduction, the cancer) would put you off your search. It obviously didn't, so he then arranged Fox's abduction. As before, to be able to hold his alliance with the Aliens, he had to give up something else, this time he chose to give up the control he had over your fertility. It was returned, unknown to you, at some point in 1999 but C.G.B did not go ahead with the plans of Fox's abduction until a good while later when he was informed of your pregnancy. He felt that he had to rid himself of Fox because he didn't want Fox to pass on his knowledge. He didn't seem to think that you would pass the knowledge you and Fox share onto your child. How he got this information is still unknown to us. He was not aware that the Aliens had manipulated one of your ova in order to create the first 'organic' Super Soldier but Fox is the biological father of your little boy.

The other Super Soldiers have heard of our involvement in Fox's escape from the military prison and are on the rampage. Somehow. They do not know that Skinner was involved but they have already gotten to Kersh - he was killed only a few days ago. They will be searching for us to no end which is why you will not hear from us in the near future, we must go into hiding. If all goes well, we should be able to join you and Fox. Our cell phones have been disconnected in case of any electronic tracking devices so do not try to contact us in that way. We will contact you when it is required. I must go now; it is time for John and I to leave. With any luck, we will be reunited with you again soon.
