PART 36

For about ten minutes Mulder and Scully just sat in the car in silence. Neither one of them moved an inch or even breathed loudly, it was so quiet. They didn't know what to do. They had no plan no backup, if they made any mistakes here they'd end up getting hurt if not worse. They tried to see what was inside but the windows were all boarded up.

"Well, do we go in or what?"

"Well we won't find much sitting out here in the car Scully. Come on."

"Where a bouts do you think they are?"

"I don't know, I guess they could be anywhere, it's a large building, we need to cover it all and fast. If we get caught, well I don't think I need to tell you what would happen if we got caught."

"No Mulder, I think I have a pretty good idea already."

Mulder used his lock pick to open the entrance and slowly pushed the door open. Both he and Scully had their weapon at hand along with their flashlights.

"After you Mulder."

"Still polite and well mannered even in life threatening situations. That's one of the reasons I fell for you you know on."

As Mulder and Scully began to look around, CSM and his crew were all very aware that they had company. At first they were angry and annoyed that their building had been found. But as it sank in that there was nothing they could do to get rid of them, it became seen as a good thing, and something that CSM could use to his advantage. One person he wasn't impressed with was Diana. It was her that Mulder and Scully had followed; it was her fault that they knew where he was.

"Is there anything I can do?"

"I think you've done enough."

"I didn't know that they were behind me. I had no idea, I thought that they were where I left them." Krycek stepped forward.

"What kissing in their office?"

Diana scowled at him and felt a rage building inside her. Krycek knew how much she wanted Mulder and how much it killed her to think of him with Scully.

"Alex enough! Diana has done her fair share of meddling with Mulder and Scully, to no great reward. I have a job for you."

"What?"

"I want you to fetch the little girl." Diana panicked and spoke up again.

"The girl why?"

"I think we should play a little game with our hero's."

"But they don't know who she is, they're not interested."

"When will you realise your loyalties Diana?! You know as well as I do that they know who that little girl is, but still you try to defend them, to help them. I can very easily put you in their situation too. It's not a difficult thing for me to do."

"What to kill people just for the fun of it?!" CSM slapped Diana and she fell down into a chair.

"I've heard enough of your ridiculous moaning, you stay there and you stay out of our way!"

CSM and Krycek left the room and Diana stayed seated and watched them as they went. She didn't know what she was doing anymore. She was playing the dangerous game that Mulder had told her he didn't want to play anymore, but how did she stop it. She suddenly remembered her proposition. If she could get herself and Nacelles out of the building, she could still get Mulder from Scully and come off better than her. Anything was worth a try; she was running out of ideas.

She got up and went straight down to the basement area they were keeping Nacelles locked up in. She opened the door and picked her up, Nacelles was crying and didn't want to open her eyes for fear of what she might see. But when she heard that friendly familiar voice as Diana loaded her into her car outside, she opened her eyes wide and called out.

"Fox!!!"

"Hold it right there Fowley. You planning on going somewhere?"
