Part 15
Scully disentangles herself from Mulder's arms. "We don't have any extra time Mulder. We've got to get those checks delivered and pick up my car. Why don't you drop me off at Servello's and then deliver the checks. You can meet me back here and since its only Wednesday and everything is done we can make that Connecticut trip into a little getaway."
"That Agent Scully sounds like a great idea", says Mulder getting up and gathering his files together.
"Let me just check my e-mail", says Scully sitting down at the computer again.
"Do it later", says Mulder walking over and pulling Scully out of her chair. "I want to get on with that getaway of ours."
They leave the office locking the door behind them. They dirve to Servello's. Mulder gives Scully a kiss as he gets ready to pull away. "I'll meet you in an hour at the office", he says as he pulls away.
Half an hour later Scully has returned to the office and sits down at her computer. She opens up her e-mail and notices there are three messages. One is a confirmation for the hotel ballroom reservation, one is an online valentine that is signed by Frohike and lastly she doesn't recognize the sender. She opens it and is startled to read: "We've raided the fox's den and now its time to hunt the fox." Scully immediately picks up the phone and dials Mulder's cellphone. "Come on. Come on damn it, pick up the phone", she says as she springs out of her chair.
Finally, after eight rings he answers. "Mulder."
"Mulder! Where are you?", she yells.
"I'm at a warehouse dropping off the check for the band", says Mulder. "Its strange, but this is the address that I was given." He is standing at the door ringing the bell. Just then he sees something out of the corner of his eye and when he turns he sees a pipe heading for his head. He attempts to duck, but is too late. He sees stars as he hits the pavement. The phone falls from his hand and skids out of his reach.
"Mulder! Mulder! Whats wrong? Whats happened!?", Scully screams into the phone.
"Sculleee", he barely manages to cry once before a man in a black mask approaches him. Standing over him he takes the pipe and hits Mulder again in the head. Everything goes black for Mulder.
"Mulder!", screams Scully.
The man in the black mask turns to another man hidden in the shadows. "We've got him. What do you want me to do with him?"
"Help Mr. Mulder into the car", says the man as he inhales a drag of his cigarette. He steps out of the shadows. Its CSM. He watches as the masked man loads Mulder into the trunk of a black Cadillac and slams it shut. The man approaches the driver's side of the car and pulls off his mask. Alex Krycek tosses the mask into the backseat and looks again to CSM before he gets into the driver's seat. CSM starts to approach the car, but notices the phone on the ground for the first time. He picks it up and listens. "Mulder. Damn you! Whats going on?" Scully is crying at this point. CSM smiles as he drops the phone to the ground. He steps on it smashing it as he walks to the passenger side of the car and gets in. The car drives away, disappearing into the horizon.
