Pt. 4 - On His Way
Scully and Kye walked out to the beach, "People are staring at me," grumbled Kye.
Scully looked over at her friend, "Now you know how I felt in your world."
"Yes, but you are a person to be admired and stared at. After all you defeated a full grown shadow wolf; alone, I might add. Not many can claim to have done that feat and lived to tell the tale."
"It was nothing," Scully quickly said, but her face turned as red as her hair at the elf's praise.
Kye dismissed it, "You are too humble. You know that not even the best warriors have even wounded a shadow wolf. Imagine the songs our people would have sung, to tell the generations of the story of your triumph," the sorceress' face shadowed in grief briefly, then recovered. "With your gifts, you seem to be unstoppable!"
"Between you and Loka I don't know who is better at making me seem like a super hero," she laughed, then suddenly shivered slightly, as though cold. Kye did not fail to notice this, "What is it?"
"Nothing, just a chill."
Kye stared at her for a few moments before walking off, "As long as that's all it is."
Scully watched her walk off, lately her heightened sixth sense had been working over time, so she could easily mix up her normal senses with her new supernatural one, "That's all it is," she whispered to herself, suddenly not sure at all, "At least that's what I hope it is."
Shrugging, she took off after Kye in search of Loka.
Meanwhile in the Lone Gunman Headquarters:
Mulder looked at the screen that showed Scully's most recent credit card information, he turned to the three Lone Gunman, all crowded behind him, "Are you sure this is right?"
"Positive. Do you doubt the hacking Kung Fu of Lord Man hammer?" asked Langly, feigning hurt.
"I just don't want to be sent on a wild goose chase. God knows I've been sent on those too many times all ready."
"Mulder we called the hotel; it's her. The receptionist confirmed it was a woman matching Scully's description, and she reserved two rooms," said Byers, but Mulder still didn't look convinced.
"Look dude, we like Scully and you. We wouldn't send you to find something that's not there without covering all the angles," said Frohike. After a few moments Mulder nodded
"We got you on a 9 o'clock flight to San Francisco. Your in the same hotel as she is under the name of Fox Mandel."
Mulder walked towards the door, "Thanks guys."
"Thank us when you bring her home," said Frohike.
Smiling in spite of himself Mulder drove to the airport, and boarded the plane that would bring him one step closer to Scully.
