On his way home, Alex Krycek pondered the future. His emotional walls had been torn down one week before by the only woman who truly did not care about his past. For a week now, he and Bria had grown closer. They spent as much time together as possible. However, Alex was growing board, not of their relationship, but of his everyday life. He had no job, now that his work for the Syndicate was over, and his life had suddenly become exceedingly dull.

Now a block from home, he smiled. Bria was having a dinner party tonight and Krycek was about to face one of his greatest fears... death.

The dinner was for Special Agent Fox Mulder and Alex knew that the man would stop at nothing to kill him. Bria however, had assessed this information and decided that their hatred of one another needed to come to an end.

With a sigh, Alex attempted to release some of his tension. In thirty minutes Mulder would arrive, and all hell would break lose.
