Part 16
At the crack of dawn the next day we hear a rooster crow. The agents are still asleep. Scully on her stomach with her face in a pillow, Mulder also on his stomach half of his body hanging over the bed with his arm barely touching the floor. All of a sudden there is a loud knock on the door. The agents jump up and stare at each other.
"What the hell time is it, Mulder", asks Scully pushing her red hair out of her eyes.
"Its five in the morning", says Mulder looking at his watch and glancing out the window at the rising sun. There is another knock on the door. Finally Mulder answers, "Yeah, hold your horses!" He gets up and opens the door. Its Mrs. Heinrich. She tells him that Mr. Heinrich needs his help feeding the pigs, but shes heated up water for baths if anyone wants one. Scully approaches from behind and says, "That would be wonderful. Could you please bring it in here?" Mrs. Heinrich nods and a few minutes later she brings in the tub and fills it with water. She closes the door and the agents stare at the hot steaming bath. Their eyes finally meet and Mulder says, "You go ahead and take it Scully. You probably want to wash your hair." Scully looks around and notices the crude bar and soap and pile of towels that Mrs. Heinrich has set on the chair.
"I guess theres no shampoo", says Scully picking up the bar of soap and sighing. "Go ahead Mulder, you take the bath. I didn't want to hurt your feelings, but you smell bad." She starts to open the door to give him his privacy.
"Wait Scully, we can share the bathwater", says Mulder catching her by the arm. Scully turns around and gives him a look.
"The Heinrich's are going to wonder why we are holed up in here and Mrs. Heinrich brought the bathwater in. She's going to know that we are sharing. Its too embarrassing Mulder."
"She knows we're involved and I don't think anything is going to shock her Scully. Come on live for the moment..live and be merry for tomorrow we may die", says Mulder.
"Mulder, don't say that after everything that has happened on this trip", says Scully.
He comes over and puts his arms around her and holds her close resting his chin on the top of her head. He had always liked how they had been a perfect pair, a perfect fit.
She finally sighs and pushes him away and pulls the nightgown over head. She calmly steps into the bath and says, "Wash my hair please. And no mention of Donnie Pfaster, understood." Mulder washes her hair massaging her head. Scully scrubs herself clean and is thoroughly enjoying herself until a thought comes to her head. "Mulder! We've got to call Skinner! Byers, Frohike and Langley are still hostage and here we are enjoying a bubble bath!"
"The guys wouldn't mind. Well maybe Frohike would", says Mulder pouring some water over Scully's head.
"No, we can't dally like this. Hand me that towel", says Scully making a motion that she wants to get out. Mulder holds up the towel and she gets out and gets wrapped up in the towel. "Hurry up and get in and wash up says Scully reaching for her regular clothes. She gets dressed as Mulder strips and gets into the bath. He scrubs his hair as he talks to Scully.
"I've got to feed the pigs before I can ask Mr. Heinrich to let me go use the phone", he says. "Remember the last time we were in a pigpen Scully? Now that was really exciting." Scully comes over and kneels next to the tub.
"Lean over and let me wash your back", says Scully flirtatiously. She grabs a washcloth and proceeds to wash Mulder's back. After a few minutes he grabs her and kisses her. He tries to pull her into the tub with him.
"Mulder! I can't get all wet.", she shrieks.
"Okay. Okay.", says Mulder releasing her.
Twenty minutes later both agents are dressed in their normal clothes. "I don't know Scully, I kinda like these farm clothes. I think we should save them for the next annual FBI masquerade ball. Wouldn't Skinner get a kick out of it?", asks Mulder.
Scully smiles, "Yeah, he would. His top two agents dressed like the Beverly Hillbillies. Maybe we could trade the Heinrichs something for the outfits." She opens the door and they exit out into the kitchen area. The Heinrichs are sitting at the table eating breakfast. Mrs. Heinrich quickly serves them up some pancakes and sausage. She then tells them that Mr. Heinrich is going to lend them the mule and a cart and they can drive the three miles to town that they can use the telephone. A friend of the Heinrichs owns a car there and he would most likely be willing to drive them to Berlin where they can purchase some clothes and get a flight to Moscow.
"Now that sounds promising", says Scully. Soon after they are out front of the house and Scully attempts to explain to Mrs. Heinrich that they would like to keep their clothes as souvenirs of their trip. Then she tries to give her the pair of rhinestone earrings out of her bag. Mrs. Heinrichs eyes widen and she says, "Clothes not worth diamonds." Scully laughs and says, "Not real, but they are Swarovski. Expensive fakes." Mrs. Heinrich nods and smiles as she takes the earrings.
Mulder and Scully get into the cart. Scully's ankle is still sore but not unbearable. They thank the Heinrichs for their kindness and head out toward town.
Part 17
Its a beautiful day as the agents ride along in the cart pulled by the mule. Mulder has the reigns and is getting impatient with the mules slow progress. They've been riding for half an hour and Mulder estimates that they have ridden only about 3/4 of a mile. All of a sudden Scully turns to him and says, "Mulder, why do you always drive?"
Mulder looks at her trying to decide if she is serious. "Well its because its always a pain to have to keep readjusting the seat. You're so much shorter...more petite and I didn't know that it bothered you all that much."
"I want to drive the mule", says Scully. "Hand over those reins."
"Have you ever driven a mule Scully", asks Mulder.
"Well, no. Have you?", she replies.
"Yeah every year my parents took me to the Big E Fair in Springfield, MA and I rode the ponies around the ring. That gives me more experience than you."
Scully makes a face and grabs the reins. She starts to talk sweet talk to the mule and the mule obeys her better than the impatient Mulder. "See Mulder, it takes a woman's touch to achieve progress."
"I'm seeing a whole new side to you Scully", says Mulder looking at her amazed.
"Is that a good thing", smiles Scully enjoying being in control for once.
"Its refreshing, therapeutic, intriguing and very arousing", replies Mulder leaning over and nipping her ear.
"Why Agent Mulder, you rebel!", says Scully provocatively.
At this time they reach a fork in the road. "Well Mulder, right or left", asks Scully. "I say we go left."
Mulder looks around. "I don't know something tells me to go right." They sit there for a while until they notice a sign laying in the road with an arrow to the right.
"Yesss!!", exclaims Mulder. "I was right Scully!"
"Don't rub it in Mulder", says Scully turning the cart to the right. "Just remember that I may not have my gun, but I do have this." She pulls a whip out from under seat and waves it around.
Mulder gives a little shriek, but then says in a real seductive tone, "Bring it on G-Woman."
Scully laughs as she puts it back under the seat. "Mulder, I heard it. You gave a girlie girl scream."
"That was not a girlie scream. That was a exclamation of pure excitement and expectations of good things to come", says Mulder arguing.
"No, that was definitely a girlie girl scream", says Scully. They bicker for awhile and before they know it they have arrived in a very small town and are even more relieved to see a telephone booth. They hop out of the cart and Mulder picks up the receiver. He calls the Skinner collect.
"Assistant Director Skinner"
"Its Mulder Sir, we're alive!"
"Where the hell are you?", demands Skinner.
"Somewhere in Germany. Our plane crashed and we had to seek refuge with some local farmers, we are headed toward Berlin to pick up some supplies and onto Moscow", says Mulder.
"You can relax a little bit Agent Mulder. The Lone Gunmen have escaped and we've apprehended Krycek. He's in jail as we speak. I can't say anymore I have an appointment in ten minutes. Just get home as fast as you can with that new evidence. I don't want to have to put you on leave. You're the best agents I've got. Hows Agent Scully?"
"Well except for a healing sprained ankle shes doing really well. Yeah really well. She hasn't felt better in years and its all due to.....", Mulder goes on as Scully grabs the phone out of his hand.
"Hello Sir, Agent Scully here. Yes, I feel fine and no Mulder was just kidding around. We're on our way to Moscow and then home. We'll have a full comprehensive report on your desk the morning after our arrival." Scully hangs up.
Mulder and Scully are relieved to hear about the events that have transpired. They meet up with Mr. Heinrich's friend Hans who agrees to drive Mulder and Scully the thirty miles to Berlin to buy some clothes and tickets to Moscow. Mr. Heinrich is going to walk into town to retrieve the mule an cart so they climb into the backseat of Hans' small dirty, white Toyota. Hans is a reckless driver and hits every bump in the dirt road as he drives. He doesn't speak much English and Scully can't seem to get him to understand her distress at the speed in which he is driving. "Mulder, we're going to get into another accident!", she says.
"Hans!", says Mulder. He gives a hand signal of cutting his throat to indicate to cut down on the speed. Hans makes a motion that he understands. He reaches into his glove compartment and pulls out a switchblade. He presses the button and it flies open. The agents jump at the sound and look at each other. "No Hans", says Mulder. "Slow down on road." Hans shuts the knife and throws it back into the glove compartment. He doesn't understand. Mulder just shrugs his shoulders at Scully.
It takes only fifteen minutes to go thirty miles and they have now arrived in Berlin. They enter the first clothing store that they see. Mulder turns to Scully. "We may need some stakeout clothes, so get some black stuff in case we need to hideout outside of the laboratory building."
Scully picks out a couple pairs of slacks with one being black and several short sleeve shirts, button down shirts, underwear, shoes and a black turtleneck. Lastly, she picks out a electric blue lacy nightgown. She chooses to go more casual wearing jeans, a pink, short sleeved knit sweater and sneakers. She presents the clerk with her American Express card. "Sorry ma'am we only except Visa, Mastercard or Discover", says the clerk.
Scully rolls her eyes and says, "I'll be right back.
She finds Mulder in the men's department modeling a suit in a three way mirror. He sees her watching him and he turns around with a smile. "I don't really need this suit on this trip, but I can't pass up these good deals!" Scully laughs as she sees Mulder's pile of clothing is twice the size of hers. Who to think that Fox Mulder was fashion conscious. He goes into the changing room and comes out dressed in jeans, black t shirt and hiking boots.
"Mulder they won't accept American Express here. I need you to lend me your Discover card", says Scully.
"Ah, so you do need me", says Mulder scooping up his huge pile of clothes and following her towards the women's department. On the way there he grabs a pair of black silk boxer shorts off a rack before Scully can see him.
The agents check out their purchase and go next door and purchase some new luggage. Lastly, their journey takes them to the airport where they purchase two first class tickets to Moscow. Their flight leaves in a half in hour and before they know it they are on board finally headed toward Moscow.
Part 18
Meanwhile on the plane to Moscow the agents once again start discussing their future. Mulder is relunctant to give up his apartment, which Scully finds disheartening. "I thought we had this worked out", she says. "What is giving you second thoughts?"
"Its just that its been my homebase for so long", says Mulder. "Besides I think we should keep it for just a couple of months until we brave it up to tell Skinner. Don't worry. I swear as soon as we get home I'll pack up some of my clothes and start moving in. Its just going to be strange sharing an apartment with someone. I mean I am such a slob, and you are so immaculate. Do you think this will work?"
"Mulder, of course its going to work. We just have to compromise a little bit. If it would help you at all, I could come over and we could clean up your apartment a little bit before you bring anything over, that way we will have the messy problem solved."
"You're going to help me clean", asks Mulder looking mystified.
"Yes, I'll bring the cleaning supplies", says Scully smiling.
Mulder smiles and says, "Thats my Scully!" He gives her a peck on the cheek.
A couple hours later they have landed and gotten a cab to a hotel.
"Yes we need to book a room for the night", says Mulder. "Do you take Discover by chance", he asks hopefully.
"Yes Sir, we do", says the clerk.
"Thank God", says Mulder turning around to grin at Scully.
"Mulder, you've got to rent two rooms", says Scully.
"Why?", he asks.
"Because this travel report is going to be submitted before Skinner finds out about us. If this got out before we could tell him we may lose our jobs", says Scully hissing.
"We stayed in one room in London. Its going to be on the bill", says Mulder.
"Yes, well we have to come up with a story on that one, but we can't repeat that mistake again. Rent two rooms..two adjoining rooms and we'll deal with the problem", she says.
Mulder turns around to a clerk who is trying not to laugh. "Ah, we have a little secret work lated affair to cover hmmm." he says in a thick Russian accent. "Never you mind, I do this all the time for big US Government officials." He looks around and then whispers, "Even the President and that girl...Monica". He winks.
Mulder and Scully get their bags taken to their "rooms". Right away Mulder tells the room attendent to unlock the connecting door. Scully waltzes through the door with her baggage. "I'm lonely next door, do you need a roommate", she asks.
"Oh, I suppose we could bunk in together. Do you snore?" asks Mulder pulling Scully to him.
"No, but I have been known to drool", she says as Mulder tosses her on the bed.
At the crack of dawn the next day we hear a rooster crow. The agents are still asleep. Scully on her stomach with her face in a pillow, Mulder also on his stomach half of his body hanging over the bed with his arm barely touching the floor.
