Chapter 1

"Put your hands up!" Scully shouted holding her gun out at Eddie. He stopped climbing the fence he was trying to escape from and turned around.

"Freeze!" Scully shouted again. Eddie kept walking though. "Freeze!" She shouted once more, but he just kept walking toward her. "Freeze or I'll shoot!" Scully shouted now.

He stopped in his tracks. "You wouldn't shoot me Scully. I know you wouldn't. I know how you think, how you act, how you feel." He started toward her again, she took in a nervous breath but kept her stance. "Freeze or I'll shoot!" She shouted once more.

"Scully, don't lie to me. I heard you and your partner last night. You told him you weren't attracted to me… why did you lie?... look you can lie to Mulder, and he wont notice, but don't lie to me…" he stared walking again. Scully felt her breath become less secure, every step he took closer she knew would lead to nothing good.

"Freeze or I'll shoot!" She pushed out forcefully. The man stood only a few feet away now. He just stared at her, not moving or looking away. She tried to tell if he was thinking about how to escape, or how to run away, but she couldn't tell. No matter how much she wanted to hate him, she couldn't help but feel attracted to him.

"Come with me, Dana… I know you're tired of your life, I know you're tired of running… we'll make this your last run. We can go to London or Italy… We can get a home, kids… wouldn't you like that?" He softly touched her cheek with the back of his hand.

"We can live together and be happy… come with me," he whispered as he slowly leaned in closer to her. His lips lightly touched against hers, not entirely kissing her before he moved away again. He took a step away and held out his hand, then softly he said, "come with me."

Scully finally looked directly in his eyes. She studied him for a moment as he waited holding his arm out firm. She took in a deep breath, he knew it would only be a matter of moments before she placed her hand in his. Finally she spoke, "your not who I think you are." Eddie frowned and lowered his hand, taking a small step forward concerned, "what do you mean?" She listened to his breathing for a minute, watching as he exhaled and inhaled deeply. It startled her pretty deeply when her phone loudly rang.

"Are you going to get that?" Eddie asked. Scully shook her head, "I can't go with you… because you're not Mulder." Eddie frowned once more, "Mulder doesn't care about you, you saw him with that other woman…" a look of shock came over Scully's face "…didn't you?"

"Look Dana, you have a decision to make… I know I've done some bad, I've killed a woman and her son, although for reasons not everyone can understand but you do. And I know you care for me, just as much as I for you. So what's it going to be? Let me go, take me in, or come with me?" Eddie asked holding his hand out again. Scully slowly put her gun away beneath her jacket, and slowly lifted her other hand. She placed it in his softly and he wrapped his hand around hers. He smiled and pulled her close into a hug, "I love you… now come on!" He helped her over the fence then jumped over himself.

"Scully! Scully!" a frantic and a bit loud Mulder came running toward them. Eddie looked worried, "let's go."

Scully shook her head, "you go, I'll catch up… I have to say goodbye." Mulder ran up to the fence and put his hands up on it, Scully put hers against his. "Scully what are you doing?" He asked out of breath.

"Mulder… it's time for me to go… I need to do this…" she said looking down but then taking a step closer to the fence. Mulder took a step closer himself, "you don't have to go Scully, he's not who he says he is. He claims he has religious powers, but he doesn't."

Scully shook her head, "This is something I have to do, Mulder… This is something that I won't come back from but I want you to know… that I do in fact love you," she said as a tear fell from her eye. She placed her forehead against the fence and Mulder rested his against hers.

"He's not who he says he is Scully… please listen to me…" he pleaded as he pulled his head away from hers.

"Goodbye Mulder," she said before turning around and walking away.
