DOGGETT POV
****************
I'm a nervous wreck. All I've been doing since Mulder left to meet this source was pacing the small office. I was probably leaving permanent marks in the floor. But I didn't care. It was the only thing I could do. Dana hadn't said anything to me. SHe had simply sat down at my desk and pretended to keep busy by reading over a report, for what case I didn't know. But I knew she wasn't thinking about the report she was reading or any case. She was worried about Mulder. So was I to be honest. Who's the source? Can they be trust? He was taking a pretty big risk going by himself. But he wouldn't let anyone go with him. The phone started ringing on my desk. I practically ran to it and quickly picked it up.
I tried to sound as professional as possible incase it wasn't Mulder.
Hey Dogman its me, listen meet me at Melvin's place for a beer. I knew it was Mulder, he was acting like this incase the place was bugged.
Sure, see ya soon.
I hung up the phone and saw Dana already waiting for me at the door. We were at The Lone Gunmen's place less than five minutes later. Mulder opened the door. Dana walked in first and then I followed closing and locking the door behind me.
Who was the source? Was my first question.
Turned out to be Gibson.
But its not safe for him. Dana exclaimed.
He said not to worry about him. He can look after himself.
So what did he tell you?
He said the super soldiers wanted Monica for information. Apparently when she was still Samantha she over heard something Bill Mulder and Cancer Man discussed and then saw or heard a code. They want to know what that code was.
Why? What's the code for?
He didn't explain that. I don't think he knew.
What else did he say? Dana asked.
To ask the Gunmen about some tracking devices. We all looked towards the Gunmen who looked a little shocked.
It was Frohike's idea! Langly blurted out.
What tracking devices? Dana asked.
We kinda put tracking devices in all of you. Incase we needed to track you for any reason.
How did you get them into us without us knowing? I asked, a little pissed off at not knowing anything about this.
You don't want to know. Langly said and I realised something. I really didn't want to know.
Okay, does Monica have a tracking device in her? Mulder asked.
Yep. We can track it for you now. We would have don't it sooner but we had no idea what was going om. Langly told us as he sat at his computer and started working.
That's okay, just track it now. Mulder said. It was a few minutes before Langly said anything.
Got her.
Where is she? I needed to know before I lost my mind.
An abandoned warehouse building about 30 minutes away.
Call Skinner, tell him to assemble a team to go in. We're going ahead of them. I ordered. Dana instantly took out her phone and began to tell Skinner everything. Once we where all ready. Including the Gunmen who insisted on helping Dana came up to me.
Skinner said he can have a team ready in the hour. And for us not to do anything stupid before he gets there with the team.
He expects us to sit around and wait? No way, as soon as we get there we are going in.
I agree with you John, but we still have to be careful.
We will be. Come on we're ready. We all jumped in the Gunmen's van and Mulder started driving to the warehouse.

REYES POV
****************
What if everything they are telling me is true? What if everything I believed, everything I saw isn't real. If John wasn't here maybe I would have thought differently. But I trust him and what he says. He says it isn't true. He says that I've been living in a dream world. He has the evidence to back it all up. And I have nothing against the evidence. A knock on the door disrupts me from my thoughts. I'm now back in the white room and am sitting in the corner with my knees up towards my chest. I look up and see John enter.
Hey Mon. Dana's here. She bought William with her. I look up and see Dana walk in with William in her arms.
Hey Monica, its good to see you. You're looking well. William has missed his aunt Monica. We both look at the baby in her arms who is now look at me. Would you like to hold him? She doesn't wait for an answer, she places him in my arms. Her and John sit on the floor, one on either side of me. I look at William in my arms and cant help but start to cry. I cant help but think of Lana. How much I wanted it to be her in my arms. To be at my apartment with John beside me. As I cry Dana takes William back into her arms.
I'll visit you tomorrow Monica okay. She stands up and leaves the room. John places his arm around my shoulders and I cry into his.
Its okay. Everything is going to be fine. John whispers in my ear as he strokes my hair.
No it isn't. I tell him.
All you have to do is get better. Accept that all these alien conspiracies and everything isn't real. And then we can get married and have that baby girl you've been talking about. Lana you named her. We can have that. All you have to do is let the doctors help you. He places a gentle kiss on my temple.
Maybe he's right. Maybe everything I believed to be true was really a lie. John wouldn't say these things if it wasn't true. Maybe I should let the doctors help me. Just as that thought runs through my mind the door opens and in walks in the man I knew as Cancer man, but now know as doctor.
Are you ready to let me help you Monica?
I look from him to John. I want to be with him. I would do anything for him. I want to have that little girl I've dreamed about. I was ready to get the help I needed. I looked back up at the doctor and nodded my head. Yes I was ready to let him help me.
