Part 25
Scully wakes up in a dark cave and she feels like she has been drugged. Buts thats impossible. A drug would require a human being's intelligence and access. The only other human here in the forest was Mulder and she had been viciously separated from him. The last memory that she had was of being dragged across the river. She had helplessly watched Mulder frantically try to swim after them. But they had reached the bank first and then she had lost sight of him. She doesn't even know if he made it as everything had gone black soon after that. Scully's head feels like someone has taken a sledgehammer to it. She shifts her body as the hardness of the cave is starting to affect her body and then thats when she realizes something. Her arms and legs are bound and there is tape over her mouth 'Thats impossible', thinks Scully to herself. Bigfoot doesn't know anything about tying up people. Just then she sees a beam of light moving toward her. A flashlight and footsteps. 'Thank God, its Mulder and he is all right. He is here to rescue me.', she thinks. "Mulder", she attempts to say. But it only comes out as a moan.
The light approaches her and the beam flashes in her face. Whoever it is kneels next to her and she is shocked to see the face of the Sasquatch staring back at her. He reaches behind his head and pulls on his neck. The next thing Scully sees almost causes her to pass out. The Sasquatch pulls a mask off his face and she sees a face that she has seen many times. The face of Bobby Lee Smith, convicted serial rapist and member of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted. He leers at her.
"Ya finally wake up my little chickadee", he asks. "You and I are going to have a lot of fun, but I'm going to let you suffer a little while. I've got to make sure that there boyfriend of yours doesn't interfere with our little rendezvous here. I'm going to go make his life or actually his death a living hell." He puts his mask back on. "You just sit there and look pretty. Bobby will be back before you know it." He caresses her cheek and then walks off leaving her in darkness.
Scully immediately starts working on her knots which are tied extremely tight. She doesn't know how she is going to get free, but she knows she has to. 'Mulder, she has to protect Mulder', she thinks to herself as she wiggles her arms up under her behind and finally in front of her. She sobs as she thinks , 'how many Donnie Pfasters are really out there.'
Part 26
Its pitch black at this point and Mulder has not given up looking for Scully. He can't see a thing in front of him until the moon is revealed from behind a cloud. He gives a small sigh of relief that at least he can make out the trees in front of him. He listens carefully for any signs of life besides his own, but he hears nothing but the sound of crickets and an occasional hoot of an owl.
'What have I done?', he thinks to himself. 'Once again Scully is in danger because of me. If I hadn't insisted on coming out here she would be safe. Thats a real nice way of showing someone that you love them, bring them into a life threatening situation and thats exactly what he has done for the past seven years. However, there were always those few times that he had protected her. He would leave an e-mail, note or message on her answering machine telling her that he didn't want to risk her life for a hollow, personal cause of his. It never worked though. They thought too much alike. She always found him and most of the time ended up rescuing him. He swore that he would always find her too, but just recently when she had gone off with CSM he couldn't. He had felt powerless and it had scared him. That things had gone too far with his quest when she was willing to take chances like that. But that was in the past and this was the present. He had to find her before something happened.
Keeping his gun raised in front of him he cautiously advances into the forest. A warning light goes off in his head when he hears a twig breaking off to his right. He turns and listens to the sounds that indicate that someone or something is approaching. Thats when he sees a movement behind a tree. He aims his gun there, but is surprised to see ironically a fox trot from behind the tree and into the forest. He lowers his gun and takes a deep breath. Letting his guard down he is rushed by something behind him and the next thing he knows he has been struck in the head with an object. He falls to the ground. His last thought is of Scully as the blackness sets in.
Bobby Lee Smith still dressed as the Sasquatch stands over Mulder. He is still holding the rock that he used in his hand. He tosses it away and then reaches down to throw Mulder over his shoulder. He picks up Mulder's gun and then starts toward the cave.
Part 27
Scully meanwhile has gotten only her hands free when she hears a noise outside the cave. She quickly sticks her hands behind her back, thus hiding the evidence of her successful attempt at escape. She thinks to herself how she wishes that there had been more time. She would have only needed about ten more minutes and her feet would have been free. She had discovered a small needle prick in her arm during her battle to untie herself. Apparently Smith had given her an injection during her abduction.
She sees a flashlight beam enter the cave and she squeezes herself as close to the cave wall as she can. She cowers in fear as she is scared what his return means has happened and what will happen if she doesn't take some action. She hears his heavy footsteps approach her and she cringes with disgust when she remembers reading his profile from the file that had been circulated throughout the bureau over the past three months.
Scully expects the worst as Smith's footsteps stop next to her. She is startled when a body is thrown down beside her. She hears a low moan as the person rolls toward her and then stops. Smith flashes his flashlight into Scully's eyes. She squints at the sudden introduction of light and glances down to see Mulder unconscious beside her with a large nasty wound on the side of his head. Smith pulls the tape off of Scully's mouth and her mouth drops open to stare at most important person in her life at her side.
"What have you done to him you s.. of a b..ch"she screams. "If he dies, I swear I will hunt you down." She tears up and bites her lip. She wants to help Mulder, but she can't let Smith know her hands are free. Smith laughs and then pulls his mask off once again.
"Your boyfriend isn't dead yet little lady. I just thought it would be a little more entertaining if we had an audience, thats all", he continues.
Scully makes a face of revulsion. "You are a sick man Smith. You aren't going to get away with this. You've got this all wrong. We aren't some couple out here on a romantic getaway, we're two FBI agents and you are going to get your a** kicked if you think you are going to rape me."
"What are you going to do about it", grins Smith. You going to attack me? Use your self defense moves that you know from the bureau on me? I think thats going to be a little difficult right now, don't you? Besides, thanks to your partner I picked up a piece of artillery that I think will come in handy in the future." He holds up Mulder's gun. Scully closes her eyes in defeat.
"I can understand how you are using that reverse psychology crap on me seeing you belong to the FBI and all, but I'm not stupid. I've been watching you two since you first arrived in Bluff Creek and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that you two are partners on cases. Not only on criminal cases but pillow cases too." He laughs. "I'm going to be a nice guy. I'm going to leave you until tomorrow. I'll let you spend a little time together seeing when I get back I think I'll just use this on your lover there and there won't be any more competition for your affections." He waves the gun around as he backs out of the cave.
