A/N: Again, a short chapter, but I needed to post something so..Here it is! I know it's not exactly the greatest, but what can I say? Writer's block does not look kindly upon me. Anywho, thanks for reviewing..Keep 'em coming!
"They won't be comming back here, Scully...." Mulder said that night at dinner.
"What should we do? We don't have Mr. X anymore...."
"....I know."
They were silent for sometime.
"If you ask me, Mulder..We should be taking advantage of the train yards. Collect some info, maybe--"
Scully stopped fiddling with her salmon and looked up.
"--What were the circumstances revolving around Kyle's disappearance, Mulder?"
Mulder looked up, a little surprised.
"Well, it, uh....It remains unsolved.....I can have Skinner fax over the report if you'd like...."
"Yeah. That'd be great."
Mulder watched as Scully went back to her salmon.
"Why, uh, why do you ask?"
"Hmm? Oh, well...I dunno....Just a hunch....I mean, I know you said these two cases seem unrelated....Mulder..? Margaret's sister, Jennifer....She went missing two weeks ago, didn't she?"
"Yep." Mulder sounded uninterested. But Scully's wheels were turning.
"That's when I went missing.." Scully mused aloud, not caring whether Mulder heard or not. "And..when I went..." She shook her head, not sure of herself anymore.
She looked across the table and found Mulder watching her.
"Go on."
She smiled and shook her head again. "Go on what?"
"Go on. I think you're on to something."
"No, I, uh....I can't think of anything more."
"Jenifer O'Sheal went missing when you did....to the day, in fact. Her brother was Mr. Military..none of the family knew what he did really....You both went missing....come to think of it....the way you both went missing-- on the job, I mean....well....You have to admit it's strange, and...."
Mulder seemed to be discussing the possibilities more to himself than with anyone else. He seemed thoughtful, and reflective, and Scully wasn't sure if she should wake him up from this daze. Finally, mustering up the courage, and taking in what he had been rambling about, she opened her mouth and spoke.
"Mulder, what are you getting at? Shadow government conspiracy?"
"Maybe.." Mulder droned thoughtfully. "..I don't know just yet....But I think you're right. It may be worth it to take a look at Kyle's case...."
Mulder took out money, placed it on the table to pay the bill, and then he jumped up and left the building. Scully could only watch him leave, now in a daze herself. She hoped she hadn't misled him, or implanted a false hope of figuring out what had happened to her. She doubted Kyle had anything to do with this. Not the way Mulder was talking about. After all, he'd gone missing two years ago..He couldn't have any involvement....
But then...how had she recognized him?
A/n: I know this is a short chapter. (Shorter than the last? I'm not sure.) But I figured I should get something up here, and here it is. I tried, what can I say? Please review! I'd appreciate it. Let me know if you hate it, if it's half-way decent, or if it's O.K. Thanks!
