"Piece by piece I take apart this complicated heart and I hope to find something I can prove is real, I can feel is truth, I can say is mine." -From "The Letting Go" by Melissa Etheridge
Epilogue:
Reyes and Doggett would take two separate flights to London, figuring that no one would expect them to try and go there again. An airport cab would pick him up at noon and her at 4:00 in the afternoon. When she got there, she would buy a ticket to San Francisco and then, at the last minute, claiming some drama related to an upcoming marriage and a change of heart, change her ticket to go to London instead.
They met again in an airport café. Doggett had already made arrangements for them to rent the upper level of a flat from a friend of Skinner's.
"Monica?" Doggett asked as they were getting ready to leave the café.
"John?" she answered, smiling.
"I feel like there's something I should ask you. But it will have to wait until the sequel, I think."
"You mean the one that will be called "Left of the Middle" that the author is going to write soon because she's running out of Melissa Etheridge quotes?"
"Yeah, that's the one." (shameless plug alert, shameless plug alert)
...
Scully sat with her gun trained on the man that had planned on killing them both. Somehow they had known...God must've been looking out for them. Mulder packed up their tent and, holstering her gun, Scully joined him on the path that would eventually lead them to La Paz. Now that the other hikers knew she was armed, they wouldn't dare try to hurt them.
When in La Paz, they would find a sympathetic old couple who, although they spoke only three words of English between the two of them, somehow they understood what Mulder and Scully needed and let them stay in their house long enough to get a letter to Skinner. It may have had something to do with the $100 bill Mulder folded and put in the old man's shirt pocket, or the sorry state they were both in after their jungle adventure. Or, perhaps, God was looking out for them.
...The End...
