Dig Yourself A Grave

Skinner

It was me in a sense. It was a wax figure of me looking very dead from an apparent gunshot wound to my head. Then I saw the note. It was on a blank white piece paper with block letters copied on it. And it read:

Don't dig Or you might find yourself digging your grave

Mulder and Scully have been spared for now

The end of the X files is approaching

I lowered the note visibly shaking it was all taking its toll on me. I was fifty and the strain of thinking I'd lost my two best agents. I was pale and sweating so I finally lowered myself on the stool by the counter. I looked at my agents and at the note debating what to do.

Finally I rose and sat the note down on the counter and picked up Scully gently and carried her into their office sitting her down in her chair. They were oddly enough dressed in their work clothes.

Then I went back and hefted Mulder over my shoulder carrying the younger man with ease to his office. Then sitting him down in his office chair. I observed his oddest pair with the affection a keen to that of a father. Then I turned and went once more to the autopsy bay to throw the body bags and the note into the huge trash disposal. I might be taking the cowards way out but if it saved them and others from death it was worth it.

When I came back they were just waking up. I put my hands on my hips and did my best to look mad. They woke up first looking towards each other to make sure they were both there. The relief was so evident on their faces I wondered what exactly happened to them. They glanced my way and did a double take. I put up the toughest glare I could muster.

"Would you two care to explain why you two were missing for five days? With no note! No nothing!" I leveled Mulder with the glare he hated most. It was nice to see I had broke though his laid back posture when he narrowed his eyes at me.

"Sir, if I might I could explain it all to you? Perhaps in your office?" Scully the buffer she had no idea at how happy I was to have her here to save Mulder's ass. I nodded and left indicating for them to follow me up to my office.

1 hour later

They had given me some April fool story about a prank gone wrong. Which I had played a part in somehow without me knowing that I was. Then Mulder running over Scully when he was drunk and how it turned out to not be Scully.

Then Modell had a daughter who had his powers. And how she'd targeted Mulder because he had killed father and aunt. But she had held Scully hostage first in some warped mind thing. Making Mulder shot her in the stomach. And I clearly saw the shot mark on her skin. It was amazing what they had did to them. It was scary and it made me sad to think they could manipulate us like that. Now on with Mulder's explanation. He went after Modell's daughter only to find the government had taken her to use her as a assassin. Yet somehow Mulder had got to her and killed her. Making it back to Scully's bedside when she woke up. A nice fairy tale that Mulder and Scully believed. And who was I to tell them otherwise?

I watched what went on in Skinner's office though a TV sat up in CSM's recovering room. I risked a glance at the man I had once looked up to as a father. Now I only saw him as a cold blooded killer. I then decided to voice my question.

"Why go though so much trouble?" I asked with a good measure of curiosity.

"Because we can and it show Mr. Skinner who really is in power. By the way you did a wonderful job of playing me. A wonder what make up and a wig can do. People only ever see what they want to see remember that Alex." He explained to me like talking to a child. It angered me to no end and he knew it.

"But what about the drug you gave Mulder and Scully for their memory?" I asked again daring to see how his good humor held out for me.

"It was harmless just another show. Dr. Dane was asking to many questions anyway. But its no matter Scully has the egg planted and Mulder is a marked man. Its all coming together like chess. The pawns have moved into my trap and now my king will capture them. I'll call you for the next move you have tired me." Then he waved me away, I took my exit. As I opened the door I came face to face to no another then Maria.

"Are you going to join me?" She asked anxiously as soon as I closed the door. I looked over the one and only person I would ever love and trust again. I nodded curtly and moved past her to the exit.
"I miss you Alex." I heard her whisper as I pushed open the door to leave. I risked one last glance at her and caught her straightening her shoulders and entering the room.

"I miss you too Marie." I whispered back and left the building to go live my half-life existence.

Scully

Mulder walked me out to my car he had become even more protective since this Modell thing. I shuddered thinking about it all again. I hoped they were finally gone. When we reached my car we stood awkwardly as I fumbled to get my keys from my purse. Suddenly Mulder engulfed me in a hug. We stood there for a while reeling in the comfort that one simple hug could give then Mulder let go. And I was cold all over again.

"Scully, never leave me." It was his plea that he could never quench. No matter how many times I told him I'd stay so I just pulled him towards me again and rested my forehead against his. Letting my actions speak louder then words. I felt his breath against my nose tickling me so I raised my face and our lips were mere centimeters apart then:

"Scully, I'm sorry…see you tomorrow." And then he was gone. I sighed and bent to pick up my purse I had dropped. Then got in my car to go home to my cold apartment where I could never get warm.

And that night I dreamt of a dark room and three simple words spoken with so much passion. And the warmth they brought. But then I woke up to find it was just a dream.

Skinner

I looked down at the amber liquid then downed it in one gulp. I thought of all the mistakes I made I thought of what I could have done to change it all but it was too late. April Fools.
