Chapter 7

Later that evening

I sat with my mother in the kitchen drinking tea. I had a weird sensation come over me. I was thrilled that my brother and I had come to a resolution, but something was still bothering me. Something was out of place. Obviously my mother could tell.

" Dana, what's the matter?"

" I don't know. Everything seems fine, but...I don't know. Something just doesn't feel right."

" You worry too much. "

"I wouldn't know how to act if I didn't worry about something." My mom started to laugh at me.

"You're hopeless," She said laughing. I laughed with her, but I exclaimed that it wasn't funny.

Ring!

My mother picked up the phone. If only I paid attention to that feeling. I might have known that the phone call would drastically change my life.

" Dana, Mr. Skinner on the phone. He wants to talk to you. I think it's important," My mother said in a worried voice. I pick up the phone and just listened. My mother watched me in anticipation. She grabbed my hand as tears began to fall from my face. I hung up the phone.

"Dana, what's wrong?" she asked.

" It's...its Mulder... Mom I need to go to the hospital... He's there, he's alive."
