The tears ran unchecked down Mulders face and he nodded his head
vigorously, "Yeah Scully! Yeah it's me. You know me. You remember! God,
Scully where were you? What happened?"
Scully stared at him with wild eyes. 'She looks like a scared animal' thought Mulder. "Scully can you talk to me? Can you say my name again?"
Suddenly her eyes lost their focus and she returned to her rocking. "The flowers. Get more flowers. Can't stay here. Gotta go away. He's coming. Red flowers now. Alllll Red."
"Scully?"
Tears were pouring down her face now and her voice lowered to a whisper. Mulder leaned in closer to make out the words. The words that broke his heart.
"Mulder. He's coming. He'll find me. Save me. Help me Mulder! The flowers. The blood. Gotta stop the voices Mulder. They don't know. Nobody knows. Make it stop hurting! Please!"
"Oh God. I'm sorry Scully! Please come back to me! I tried. I tried so hard to find you! Scully please talk to me! I'm right here now. I can help you. Scully, please?"
She didn't respond but started singing softly to herself "And nobody knows it but me."
"Damn it Scully talk to me!" He yelled and jumped suddenly to his feet in frustration. Wrong move. Scully reacted violently and began screaming and crying. She bolted for the door and Mulder grabbed her just before she reached it, pulling her to his chest. "Whoa, wait its ok! It's alright Scully it's me! It's Mulder! Scully it's me! Calm down!"
She began pushing and scratching at him, trying frantically to get away. "NO! NO! NO! Leave me alone! Just leave me alone!!"
A doctor quickly entered the room followed by two male nurses. The nurses each took a hold of Scully and forced her to the bed in one corner of the room. "Hold her down, I'm administering a sedative."
Mulder followed them to the bed all the while speaking reassuringly to Scully who was trying unsuccessfully to free herself from the nurses grasp. "It's ok Scully. It's alright. I won't let anything happen to you I promise. They're just going to give you something to help you rest"
The doctor stepped to the other side of the bed and injected the needle into her arm. "You're going to start feeling very sleepy in a few minutes and I want you to just relax."
After a minute her eyes began drooping and her struggles ceased. "Please, no. Don't hurt me. No more. The flowers."

Mulder closed the door to Scully's room behind him wearily. He had sat there watching her sleep for about an hour until a nurse came in, announcing that she was to clean Scully up a bit. He still had no idea about the circumstances that led to her ending up here in Grady Hospital. Who found her? Where was she found...What was done to her? He wasn't quite sure if he was ready for the answer to that last question. 'With the way she is now, it had to have been bad', the thought made him sick to his stomach and he was sure that if he had eaten anything recently it wouldn't have stayed down.
"Mulder!"
Mulder turned to see Jake walking swiftly toward him. "Mulder do you mind telling me what the hell is going on here?"
The sentence reminded him of the old Scully and he almost smiled. Almost. "What is it you want me to tell Agent Cross?"
"I was told you were coming in as a psychologist to assist in getting information from a Jane Doe who is mentally traumatized, only to find out that you obviously know her. And know her very well from what I observed when you went in to talk to her. What. Is. Going. On?"
Mulder sighed and rubbed his eyes. Where to start. He thought back to a time when everything was normal. To the last time he had seen Scully smile.almost two years ago.
