Scully's Apartment

3rd July 11:21 am

You used to captivate me

by your resonating light

but now I'm bound by the life you left behind

Dana Scully had spent most of the morning trying to find her brothers, trying to get them a message about their Mother. Apparently both brothers were at sea and they had no way of getting hold of them at the present time, things hadn't been going well for the both of them. Both Charles and Bill were going through divorces, they had both found out that their children were not theirs and now their Mom was in hospital. Dana hadn't spoken to Bill for nearly a year and hadn't seen Charles for more than 7 years, they were close as kids Bill used to take her shooting with him and when Charles was bigger he too came along; that's all over now Bill hated Mulder which had made the rift between them even worse, it wasn't even Mulder's fault!

Her thought change to her partner and best friend, well at least he used to be those things. She sat down and replayed what he had said to her "You have been holding me back for years, you make your little reports and that all you are to me now a spy for the men that killed your Sister and gave you Cancer. I was stupid enough to trust you with everything that's important to me! You make me sick trying to blame me. You work for them and you are part of their agenda!"

Dana Scully sat in the freezing room, her Mom had shown no sign of improvement and the doctors were talking about taking her off the breathing unit. Tears began fill her eyes "Oh Mom, what has happened? Why has everything happened at once?" She put her head down on the bed, "Dana? Is that you?" Maggie stroked her hair "Mom? You're awake?" Dana's head rose and she was able to see Maggie sitting up "Oh Mom" she cried as she hugged her. The door creaked and Walter Skinner entered "Mrs. Scully how are you feeling?" He asked "I'm fine although I don't remember much apart from Fox trying to call Dana and then having to call an ambulance instead. He looked very scared, poor Fox" Skinner nodded "Yes, it's a good job really. If he had of waited for Dana then you might not be here now!" Maggie looked at Dana "Where is Fox?" Dana shrugged "I haven't seen him since I came the night they brought you in" Skinner looked at Maggie "He has been working on a case for the past couple of days, I'm gonna have to give him some holiday tomorrow. I think he is still in the office now. Gonna work himself into an early grave!" Maggie nodded "He has been to see me everyday. I heard him" Dana felt like this was all directed at her, it wasn't going to change anything she told herself "He came to see me about Dana's transfer request form" Dana started getting angry "Look all of this has nothing to do with anyone other than Mulder and Myself so stop just stop talking about it!" with that Dana got up kissed her Mother. "I'm going home, Skinner I want my request put forward!" Skinner held up his hand "Mulder still has the paper" she sighed.
