Inside the van, Skinner was pacing impatiently. No one was communicating to him and he was getting quite pissed. "Dammit, I want to know what the hell is going on out there!"

"Still no sign, Sir." A voice crackled back.

"Well, some one sure as hell better find something out there! We've got over a dozen of you out combing the area for Christ sakes! It's not so difficult to find one female FBI Agent is it?!" He took a breath. "And where the hell is Agent Mulder?"

"No one has seen me since he went down the alley, Sir."

"What alley?"

Mulder looked back at Jeremy with his hand shaking and the gun still pointed. He could see the blood trickling slowly down Scully's neck. He felt nauseated at what he was witnessing. Seeing Scully in this condition was his worse nightmare. It was even worse than the time he had rescued her from Donnie Pfaster. At least then he had the upper hand, not like this. He knew he could try and shoot Jeremy but then that would put Scully at risk as well. The knife was too close to her throat to take that chance. The last thing he wanted to live with was watching Scully getting her throat slashed because of a stupid decision he had made. Jeremy was right in that it would be an image to haunt him forever. "All right, all right. I'll put down my gun just don't hurt her." He slowly and reluctantly lowered his gun.

Jeremy kept the knife at Scully's throat. "Kick it over here." He noticed Mulder's hesitance and pushed the knife harder on Scully's skin causing her to take in a breath. "I'm not fucking around, G-Man."

Mulder bent down and lowered the gun.

"Carefully, carefully. The last thing we would want to do is make any quick movement and let sweet Dana have an accident."

Mulder slowly finished lowering the gun before kicking it over to Jeremy. "All right, now let her go!"

"Not so fast, G-Man." He reached over to an end table and threw Mulder some rope. "Tie yourself to that chair over there."

Mulder looked back at him. "Are you fucking crazy?"

"You want to see crazy G-Man?" Jeremy reached down and picked up the gun as he kept the knife steady on Scully. He then pointed it at Scully's temple. "Well, isn't this interesting? I can either shoot her or slit her throat. Or…I can shoot her and then slit her. Which do you think she would prefer?"

Mulder looked down at the rope before sitting himself in a chair. Taking the rope, he placed it around one of his hands and then intermingled it with the other. "This isn't easy to accomplish you know."

Jeremy moved away from Scully with the gun in his hand. "I just needed you to start it." He walked over to the chair with his gun pointed toward Scully. "One attempt at heroism and sweet Dana gets it right between the eyes."

Mulder remained completely still. As much as he wanted to move his hands and disarm Jeremy he knew the chance he was taking on misjudgment. One wrong calculation on where Jeremy's hands were and he would miss and Scully would be dead. As much as he hated, he would have to comply. Or at least he would for now. He felt Jeremy's hands as they took the rope and tightened it around his wrists. "Hey watch it will ya? I'm tender."

Jeremy finished his tying and went about checking his knots for security. "So, you're sweet Dana's FBI partner are you not?"

"What's it to you?"

Jeremy did a few more tightenings before moving back to the front of Mulder. "It's that sweet Dana was speaking so highly of you earlier. She was saying how much she wanted you to fuck her."

Mulder couldn't believe what he was hearing. That was certainly nothing he would expect to hear from Scully's lips. "You're lying." He replied glaring at Jeremy. "Scully would never say anything like that about me."

"Oh really?" Jeremy reached into Mulder's pocket and pulled out his FBI ID, flipping it open. "Agent Fox Mulder is it?" He leaned into Mulder. "And just why do you think that sweet Dana wouldn't say how much she wanted you to fuck her? Is it because you don't think anything like that could escape her sweet lips? Or is it perhaps that you are in denial that your partner would be interested in more than just a partnership with you?" He paused. "Or maybe you're saying that because you don't want to admit that you secretly want to fuck her as well?"

"Fuck you." Mulder replied haughtily at Jeremy.

"I think it's the third choice." Jeremy placed the gun on the ground before moving away from Mulder and heading back toward Scully. "So, tell me Agent Mulder, what exactly is your position in the FBI? I mean what division do you work for? Oh wait, wait let me guess….violent crimes right?"

"Boy, you're a regular chatterbox aren't ya?" Mulder asked as he started to pull on the rope that held his hands in back.

"You aren't one of those profilers are you?" Jeremy asked as he stroked Scully's hair. He let out a breath as he felt her tremble under his touch. It was obvious to him that he had finally broken that wild spirit of hers. He was kind of sad actually for he liked a challenge.

"Years ago I was yeah." Mulder answered as he continued to work on his ropes. He knew if he kept Jeremy distracted away from Scully, the more time he would have to try and set himself free.

Jeremy pointed the knife to the side. "I'm curious just what your profile would be of me."

Mulder took a breath. "Well, for one I would say you are a sociopath. You're intelligent, far from sloppy. You use your intellect to get what you want. You appear to be normal until that dark side of you takes over. And once it does, you become this…murderous, torturous being. You get off on the pain of others and that's why you do what you do to your victims. Their marks reflect what you feel inside. I'm guessing you were abused as a child? Beaten or perhaps sexually molested by your father or another family member? And….you choose prostitutes because they are convenient for you."

Jeremy crossed his arms. "Is that all?"

"I haven't had time to work up a clear profile on you yet but yes. That's what I've come up with so far."

"I'm quite impressed Agent Mulder. You actually flatter me with that wonderful, distinctive profile of myself. And I must tell you that you were correct up until a certain point." Jeremy moved his tongue slowly over Scully's face.

Mulder could feel his anger building but knew he had to try and keep his composure. "What part?"

Jeremy lifted his face from Scully and looked back at Mulder. "Oh but you see therein lies the fun. I tell you that you are right up to a certain part and you have to wonder just what that is. You…use your FBI educated background to figure out just what that part is." He undid Scully's left cuff. "I am quite impressed though, I must say. Oh and I must add also that there is an infamous serial killer named Jack from England who happens to partly be my idol."

"That would also account for the prostitutes, specific dates as well as the number of victims."

Jeremy clapped his hands. "Bravo, Agent Mulder. Bravo. Appears your FBI background is beneficial after all. But you see whereas Jack was sloppy I have perfected with my five victims." He undid Scully's right cuff. "But sweet Dana here, victim number six, she will be different." He then grabbed Scully's hair roughly.

"What are you going to do to her?" Mulder asked continuing to work on his ropes.

"Well, I can certainly tell that the two of you are close. Although not THAT close. And to be honest, I've never had an audience before while I accomplished my tasks. I rather like it." He took the knife and placed it to Scully's throat. "What I am going to do is quite simple, Agent Mulder. I'm going to have my way with sweet Dana here right in front of your eyes."

Scully let out a muffled scream and began to breathe labored breaths from the rag that was still in her mouth. She then closed her eyes as she felt the knife on her neck again dangerously close.

Mulder felt his stomach clench. He wanted to reach forward and grab Jeremy strangling the life out of him. "She….she can't breathe with that rag on you know."

Jeremy looked back at Mulder. "Oh but you see I gave her the chance to go without it but she chose to scream. And if there is one thing I can't tolerate it's screaming. Not to mention she spit in my face. Can you believe that?" He placed his knife on Scully's lower lip. "She actually spit at me! I should just cut her tongue out for that!" He heard Scully's muffled protests and smiled as she tried to pull away. "Have you ever seen that Agent Mulder? Seen a person's tongue cut right out of their mouth? It's quite a sight to see." He could see the look of horror on Mulder's face and he loved it. He would have to remember having an audience like this next time. "But…" He pulled the knife away from Scully's lip. "If I do that then you won't be able to hear her screams as I violate and kill her will you? And that would certainly be no fun."

Mulder was determined to keep his sense of humor. Anything to keep Jeremy distracted from Scully while he continued to try and get his ropes off. "You know I have to admit this is the first time I've had a conversation with a killer buck naked. Have to definitely add that to my list of unusual encounters."

Jeremy looked at Mulder giving him a mere huff. "Being naked shows a human beings true self, Agent Mulder." He moved to the right side of Scully and took her breast in his hand. "She has such beautiful breasts, doesn't she? They are not large but not small either. Just the right size." He began to tease her nipple with his finger. "Wouldn't you like to take one in your mouth, Agent Mulder?" He lowered his head and took a nipple into his mouth, sucking it slowly.

Scully opened her eyes and looked back at Mulder as tears streamed down her face. Mulder felt completely helpless as he sat tied to his chair. He could sense Scully's fear and there wasn't a damn thing he could do about it. He looked back at her with a reassuringly look as best as he could. He then saw her wince and let out a muffled cry as he watched Jeremy bite down on her nipple. "You bastard!" Mulder screamed as he pulled on his ropes.

Jeremy licked the small amount of blood he had drawn from Scully's nipple. "Mmmm…she tastes delicious Agent Mulder." He then started kissing Scully slowly up and down her body alternating with his tongue. He lowered himself and began to tease Scully between her legs.

Mulder continued to pull on his chair and the ropes. He couldn't stand to see Scully violated like this. And the worse part was that he secretly wished he were the one kissing her like this and not Jeremy. And even though he could hear Scully letting out quick breaths, he knew that deep down inside she was not enjoying Jeremy's exploration of her.

Scully gasped as she felt Jeremy slowly lick over her pronounced bump and then suck it. This was not what she wanted. She could do nothing to control her body as her hips bucked and a pleasure began to course through her. She closed her eyes imagining it was Mulder doing this to her and not Jeremy. At least that way it wouldn't be as bad. She felt Jeremy suck on her harder and speed up his efforts as he pushed his finger into her. And then she came imagining that it was from Mulder's pleasure. Her body shuddered and then relaxed as she tried to catch her breath.

Mulder had watched Scully's facial expressions as Jeremy had pleased her. She looked so beautiful to him and seeing her face contorted with pleasure made it even more so. For that brief moment, he had forgotten that Jeremy was in the room. All he had centered on was Scully and watching her come. He then saw Jeremy lift his face from between Scully's legs and that image was shattered.

Jeremy looked back at Mulder. "I made her come Agent Mulder. I gave her pleasure before you did. Did you enjoy it? Did you watch her face as I pleased her and finger fucked her?" He leaned into Scully. "And I know you enjoyed that my sweet Dana." He whispered as he put the knife close to her face. "I felt you come and tasted it from you." He then pulled her up to him roughly. "And now it's time to return the favor. Get on your hands and knees." He watched as Scully shook her head. He sighed and brought the knife up to her chin. "Get on your hands and knees my sweet Dana before I gut you like a pig in front of your partner."

Scully started to cry as she slowly got on her hands and knees. She then felt Jeremy untie the rag in her mouth allowing her to breathe. She let out a wheezing sound as she took in slow, deep breaths before letting out a cough. She then saw Jeremy's erection presented to her.

Mulder's eyes widened, as he knew what was on Jeremy's agenda. "Scully! You son-of-a-bitch! Leave her alone!" He yelled as he pulled desperately on his restraints.

Jeremy looked down at Scully and smiled. "I believe you know what is required of you."

Scully shook her head. This went against everything she stood for. Catholic schoolgirls were raised to never commit such a sin as this. To orally please a man was unthinkable. "Pl…..please." She whispered.

"Wrong answer." Jeremy replied before slapping her across the face roughly. He then grabbed her hair bringing her to him. "What are you going to do give me the ole Catholic schoolgirl routine? About how it's wrong to give a man a blow job? I don't think so!" He brought the knife to her face. "I want you to suck my cock like a whore. Do you understand?"

Scully nodded her head slowly. She wanted to fight back but Jeremy's beatings had taken its toll on her. Not to mention her body ached from his rough penetration earlier. She felt like dying. Now she just wanted it to be over. But being humiliated in front of Mulder made it twice as bad. She secretly wished that Jeremy would just take the knife and slit her throat. But each time she saw Mulder's eyes looking at her trying to calm her she couldn't give up hope. Something told her that it wouldn't be long before the other FBI Agents showed up. Or at least she had to keep hoping that. She then felt Jeremy push her head down till she was across from his distinguished member again.

"Now, suck." Jeremy commanded.

Mulder was glad that Jeremy's back was to him. That way he could communicate facially with Scully while he continued to work on his ropes. He looked at Scully and mouthed. It's ok. I'm almost free. As terrible as it was if Scully continued distracting Jeremy he would have a better chance to escape. It was a small sacrifice compared to Scully's eventual rape and murder. There was no way in hell he was going to let it get that far.

"I said SUCK!" Jeremy growled as he pulled Scully's hair painfully.

Tears falling down her face and shaking Scully reached forward opening her mouth, taking in Jeremy's tip. She then started to suck it slowly.

"Oh yeah." Jeremy moaned as he bucked his hips. "That feels good, sweet Dana. Suck it like a little Catholic schoolgirl." He pushed himself more toward her as she continued to suck him.

Mulder had one of his hands almost free when he heard a noise in the background. It didn't take him long to realize that it was the rushing in of several footsteps. It was obvious that the FBI Agents had finally caught up to him. He had to act and quickly and just hope that Jeremy hadn't heard it.

But Jeremy had. "What the fuck was that?"

Jeremy's distraction was all Scully needed. She went from using her tongue to using her teeth as she bit down on his member as hard as she could. She was no longer the victim again. Being told to orally please Jeremy had affected her in more ways than one. Now she was releasing what little part of anger she could muster. She could taste the blood as she sank her teeth deep into him.

"Shit!Fuck!" Jeremy cried out as he felt Scully's teeth. Taking a deep breath, he pushed back his pain long enough to pull Scully from his crotch. But not before she had taken her bit of flesh. He picked up the knife as he slapped her across the face sprawling her across the bed. He looked back at Scully as he shook trying to shut out the pain he was feeling. He hovered above her with the knife. "And now my sweet Dana. You die!" He then stabbed her in the stomach.

"No!" Mulder cried out as he watched the terrible scene in front of him. He could see the blood pouring from Scully and staining the once white sheets. He pulled on his ropes and finally managed to get his one hand free. He tried to reach for the gun by his chair but found it too far away. "Shit!" He watched in horror as Jeremy positioned himself with the knife by Scully's neck.

"Say bye bye to your partner." Jeremy hissed at Mulder.

It was then that the FBI Agents finally reached the room and kicked down the door. Scully kicked Jeremy as hard as she could away from her but not before the knife had cut her throat. She then fell from the bed onto the hard ground.

As the Agents burst into the room with guns pointed, Mulder finally managed to free his other hand and quickly grabbed the gun that was in his ankle holster. He pointed it at Jeremy as he slowly stood. "One move and I blow your fucking head off!"

Jeremy looked back at Mulder with an evil smile. "You think this is it, Agent Mulder? Oh no, not even by a long shot. And it's so easy to act all big and bad when you have some agents to back you up, isn't it?"

Mulder turned toward the FBI Agents who were right behind him. "Back off! I've got the suspect now get some medical attention here now!" He noticed the agents refusing to move and turned his gun on them. "I said do it now!" He watched as the two agents exited and then turned his gun back to Jeremy. "Well, looks like it's just you and me now you sick fuck." He moved closer to Jeremy. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't blow your head off!"

"Will this capture get you that promotion you've been wanting Agent Mulder? Will it…get you that nice plaque on the wall? Or perhaps it will put you on America's Most Wanted as the FBI Agent who took down the hooker killer? Hmmm?"

"Shut up!" Mulder yelled back at him.

"They won't want me dead, you know that right? This is America where everyone gets a fair trial. And besides, they're going to want to know what makes me tick. What makes me….do the terrible things I have. But then again you already have that figured out don't you, Agent Mulder? And then even if I am convicted I'll just sit in a cell and enjoy cable television and college educations."

"I said shut up!"

"And even if you do kill me, Agent Mulder it won't be the end. Oh far from it. Not to mention that you would be a murderer. That's right, Agent Mulder. You would be put on trial for murdering me without just cause. And not just that but for the death of your partner as well. That's right, Agent Mulder. The more we stand here and chat, the more the life-force from sweet Dana drains from her body. And so you would be responsible for two deaths." He gave Mulder a wicked grin. "And that's how I win either way. In life you will have to live with the fact that I killed your partner while I spend my time in prison. And in death you will have to live with the fact that you killed me and are a murderer. So please make your choice, Agent Mulder."

Mulder cocked his gun. "I made that choice the minute I stepped through that door and saw you with that knife to her throat. See you in hell." He then pulled the trigger shooting Jeremy in the chest just as Skinner burst in. He watched as Jeremy tumbled to the ground with blood streaming from his chest. He then quickly made his way over to Scully and cradled her. "Scully?" He looked down and saw her white face, which remained motionless. He then saw the pool of blood below her. "Oh god, Scully!" He looked toward Skinner. "Get the medical team in here STAT! Agent down!" He grabbed the sheet off the bed and wrapped her in it as he caressed her hair. "It's ok, Scully." He whispered. "Everything…..everything's going to be ok."
