I was now fully soaked from the rain, breathless and scared.
I had been working late in the office again, finishing off paperwork for AD Skinner when I got the call. The instant the officer of the local PD finished explaining the situation, I was out the door and running through Washington, D.C. to where the car accident was - my car was in the shop and I had taken a taxi to work this morning. It wasn't far from the FBI HQ, but then again, 'so near yet so far'.
The scene on the street of the accident stopped my heart cold. Police cars with flashing blue and red lights were everywhere. There were at least three ambulances, and two fire trucks, and yes, their lights were flashing also. Of course, there were spectators, enough of them that I had to push through the crowd to get to the scene. I was let in the moment I flashed my badge and told them my relationship with Scully. The sympathetic look the on-watch officer gave me made the lump in my throat grow bigger.
Panic face.
"I'm looking for Dana Scully!" I yelled, hoping somebody would direct me to her.
"Sir? Dana Scully… that's the injured female, right?"
I spun around at the sound of the EMT who answered me. "How bad is it? Where is she?"
The EMT looked down and led the way to my partner. My heart is threatening to jump out my throat now, and I was shaking, trembling. Was she injured that bad?
The medical team moved back and revealed my partner to me.
I could only drop to my knees next to her. A tear drop spilled from my blurred vision, kissing her on the cheek.
And then I screamed.
