The Warehouse
The car is stopped in front of the destination, a large, long abandon warehouse. Looking quite ominous as the sunsets.
"Lets see if the tax payers bought us some good gear" Mulder stated as he reaches behind his ear and pushed slightly. Scully did likewise.
"Byers, do you read me?" Mulder looked around as he stepped out of the car.
"Loud and clear, Scully are you receiving"
"Any sign of him?" Scully asked, not liking the feel of this situation at all.
"No, but he could already be here. Everyone in position?"
"All right. All systems are go" Byers faced Langly and continued with "Code Blue."
"Mulder", Scully grabbed his hand, " Let's get this bastard."
"My thoughts exactly..."
The gravel crunching as they approached the ramp to the warehouse seemed to be the only sound to be heard as day slipped into night. The incline ended with two battered and worn doors. As they go up, one door was partly push in, with a slight groan, as Mulder pushed, it gave way.
Entering, the dim light filtered from above scattered fixtures, a few still faintly glowing.
"Must be a small backup generator, enough for " Mulder gestured upward "this."
"You getting this Byers" Scully strained for a response " Byers? "
Nothing. Faint static garbled noises.
"Byers no good. Repeat can't hear you." Scully shot Mulder a look.
"I don't have anything either" Mulder tapped at his ear, "but there seems to be more light coming from over there."
Scully looked and could see more luminance past several abandon creates and support pillars.
Heading in the direction he indicated she shrugged " Beats standing here in the dark."
"Like months to a flame" Mulder answered.
"Damn" Byers spit through clenched teeth. " Frohike tell me you've got visual."
"Affirmative. They are moving further in, north-by-north west. No sign of our boy yet."
"Langly you got a blue print for this place?"
With a nod he pulled papers from a satchel lying near by. "Here"
"I'm going to move my position. Frohike you give me exact locations on them and tell me when he shows up."
"Where are you going?" Frohike was adjusting a pan on the camera following the agents.
"Closer, inside if I have to."
"Are you nuts!" Langly reached to grab Byers shoulder.
"They're counting on me." Byers took Langly's hand and pulled his grip from him. " You know I won't break a promise."
