PROLOGUE

Previously…

Trevor carried Hannah across the wide field, his eyes glued to the darkening sky. He was staring at the sky so hard; he almost tripped over an exposed root but managed to catch himself before he fell.

He glanced at his watch and frowned. They were late. They said eight pm and it was now eight-fifteen.

He stood in the middle of the field and waited patiently. They would come and collect the woman and he would have his reward. They didn't actually say what the reward would be.

The clouds had rolled in and covered the moon. A cold breeze whipped through the long grass, blowing Trevor's long hair into his face.

Then he heard the noise. It got louder and the wind become stronger as the noise was almost on top of him. He blinked as a brilliant beam of light illuminated them. After a few minutes, everything was silent. The wind died down and Trevor was alone in the field.

And Hannah was gone.


Scully climbed out of the car and shouted at Sands to come out with his hands up. Mulder was behind her as backup.

Trevor climbed out of his car, his gun aiming at them.

" Put your weapon down!" Scully yelled at him. Trevor obeyed, his eyes locked with hers.

" I know what you want." Trevor said mildly putting his hands up in the air.

" Where is she you son-of-a-bitch?" Scully demanded.

" I did what they told me to. They said I would be rewarded but I got nothing! They lied to me!" Trevor was ranting now, his eyes wild.

" Where is Hannah?" Scully asked again.

" They took her."

" Who took her?"

" He would know." Trevor nodded at Mulder, " They are the same ones who took his sister. The aliens."

Scully glared at Trevor, " You're lying. You killed her." And when she said this, her heart sunk. It just hit her that she may never see Hannah again.

Mulder watched the exchange between Trevor and his partner. Scully as mad and Trevor…well, he was there but not really. He was babbling about Hannah and aliens. And when he mentioned his sister, he almost shot Trevor but refrained himself.

Trevor had made a run for it with Scully in hot pursuit. A gun went off and as neared, he found Trevor lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

Scully looked grim as she searched his car for any clues. They found nothing and she unlocked the trunk.

There was nothing there either.

Scully lowered the trunk. " That's it Mulder." Her voice was low and Mulder noticed the tears in her eyes.

Mulder nodded. With the only witness dead, there were no more links to Hannah. Finding her would be hopeless.
