I'm sitting in the car next to Mulder with a million questions zooming through my head, I just need to decide which to ask first.

"Mulder where are we going?"

I could hear him swallow hard before he answered.

"It'd be safer not to tell you..."

"I'd rather know."

"Okay..."

He paused and swallowed again.

"Texas."

Scully's eyebrow shot up.

"Why?"

"It'd be safer not to tell you..."

"Mulder will you stop with the 'it'd be safer not to tell you'! Because to be honest it's safer for you to tell me!"

He was taking too long to answer and she could tell he was either searching his head for lies or trying to break it to her easy. Either way it wasn't good.

"Mulder listen, I want to get out. I want to go back."

He took his eyes off the road for a brief moment to stare at her, but no matter how brief she saw panic, pain, and desperation in his eyes.

"Scully... you can't."

"Tell me why we're going and I won't"

She could see tears forming in his eyes.

"I-I..."

She was silently praying that the road stay clear considering Mulder's vision was not.

"You what?"

"I..."

He refused to let the tears fall, he kept blinking furiously.

"I think I found out something..."

Well that narrowed it down to one cure for cancer and two our son... I don't think it would have been his sister. He stopped looking for her a while ago. I guess we can leave it at that for now, I have better questions that need answers.

"So why'd you kill that man."

"I didn't."

"Mulder... I saw you in jail... you told me you did it... you said he deserved it..."

"That wasn't me."

"Then who was it Mulder? He looked like you he sounded like you!"

"He was made to make it look like I killed myself last night!"

"But... why would you want to do that?"

"Kill myself?"

"NO! Make me think you killed your self!"

"Not you... other people..."

"Who?!?!"

"I can't tell you..."

"Why all the secrets now Mulder?!?!? I thought we could trust each other!"

"We can!"

"Not! or you would tell me!"

"I can't!"

For a while we were both silent then I decided to pretend to be asleep because the silence was getting to me.

She looks so peaceful when she sleeps. Her mouth hangs open slightly, always slightly, her face so peaceful, like when we first met. I couldn't help but brush my fingers across her forehead. I leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. A single tear slid down my face and landed on hers.

"Good-night Dana... despite what you think... I love you... and hopefully when you find out why we're going... you'll forgive me."
