"What you've got isn't all that you've been given. Changing your body like you change your jeans, nothing is ever as it seems." -From "Impressed" by Natalie Imbruglia.
The gigantic waves were becoming a problem. Mulder and Scully joined several other crew members and plastered themselves against the wall of the cabin.
"Pst, Senor Mulder. Come 'ere." It was their friend from earlier, the one who had done his best to hide them below deck. Squinting against the blinding rain, they held hands as they followed the sound of his voice.
"Wait, your X? Agent Scully told me about you. She said you were dead."
"For reasons that I cannot disclose at the moment my death had to be faked. The man who died was not me, but a terminal cancer patient whose family received a large sum of money for him to take my place. But that is not important right now. Agents Mulder and Scully are in danger. The are currently on a boat headed here, for England. Their boat has been shipwrecked, and the captain was planning on turning them in as soon as they reached land. The captain has been leading them on, making them believe that he might not turn them in. But this man is loyal to the syndicate, and would kill them before he'd ever let them go. He has caused them to believe that they are considered heroes by most of the world, something we all know not to be true. My contact on that boat will attempt to get them on a life-raft that will separate them from the others and take them safely to a dock where I will bring you now." X handed Doggett a piece of paper with the name of a privately owned dock along the southern coast of England. "You and agent Reyes must meet with Agents Mulder and Scully. You are no longer safe here. Take all your things with you.
Reyes had been listening to Doggett and X talking through the bathroom door. She started to remove the lingerie so she could get dressed again and they could leave.
Mulder and Scully were introduced to the other men in the life raft. While their friend assured them that they were all on their side, the way a few of them looked at Scully made Mulder nervous. He pulled her a little closer to his side.
"Do not be afraid, mis amigos. We taking you someplace safe...where your other friends commin' to get you."
"Anybody headed in my direction, away from the City, Anybody want to change the way they feel, step inside. It doesn't really matter where you want to take me, away from the City. I want to start again, I want to start again, I want to take it back, I want to start again." –From 'City' by Natalie Imbruglia
