CHAPTER TWO

A/N: Hi guys. Back again with yet another chapter. Enjoy!

Dana Scully rolled over and looked at the clock. It was nearly nine pm. It was a little early to go bed but she was tired after a long day with Mulder. But when she crawled nto bed she found she could not sleep. Her mind kept playing back the night Hannah broke up with her.

It really wasn't fair on her part, Scully thought punching her pillow, I was just beginning to tell people about her and then she leaves me.

It was also your fault too, Scully reminded herself, Hannah overheard you telling Mulder he was the only one I trust and it's no wonder she got upset. Scully sighed. The bed felt cold and empty without Hannah. It seemed she was going to have another sleepless night. She slid out of bed and padded into the kitchen.

Just as she did, her cell phone rang and her heart leaped. Maybe it was Hannah. She grabbed it.

" Hello?"

" Scully, it's me."

" Oh hi sir," Scully greeted him with disappointment.

" Have you seen Hannah?"

I wish. " No I haven't. Why, what's wrong?"

" She was meant to meet for dinner and she's half an hour late."

" Maybe she has car troubles."

" She was planning on walking, the restaurant is only around the corner. Something must have happened."

" I'll meet you at your apartment." Scully told him as alarm bells went off in her mind. She hung up and quickly left her apartment.

Hannah, please be okay. Scully prayed. Hannah still wasn't well after her abduction. She met Skinner at his apartment and she suggested to retrace her steps from here to the restaurant.

" But she never made it."

" I know but there could have been witnesses. We could ask people." Scully lead him out and they started retracing Hannah's steps.

They hadn't gotten very far when Skinner noticed something on the ground. It wasn't there when he first went to the restaurant and he hadn't noticed it when he walked back from there to his apartment to meet Scully.

He shone his flashlight on the pavement. There was a small pool of blood and near it was a familiar object.

It was a gold chain Hannah wore around her neck.

He held it up for Scully and her eyes darkened, " By the looks of that blood…she might have been taken again."

Skinner nodded grimly when they heard footsteps behind them. They whirled around.

A stranger was approaching them, a man in his early fifties walking his dog.

" Are you looking for something?" the man asked, staring at them suspiciously.

" We're with the FBI." Skinner held up his badge, " We're locating a missing person. Have you seen any unusual activity in the last half an hour?"

" Actually I have. I didn't see much because it was dark but it looked pretty sinister."

" Please tell us everything you saw." Scully urged him as Skinner handed her the chain.

" I saw two men get out of a car and approach this woman. They argued with her and the younger fella pushed her to the ground. Then they carried her into the car and drove off."

" These men…what did they look like?"

" One was much older…I remember smelling smoke."

The Cigarette- Smoking Man and Alex Krychek. Scully thought, they must be the ones who took her the first time. But why? What do they want from Hannah?

" Did you happen to get the license plate of the car?" Skinner asked the man.

" No I'm afraid not…too dark." The man shrugged, " I hope what I told you helped."

" Yes it does." Skinner thanked him and followed Scully who was leaving.

" Agent Scully, wait."

She whirled around, " The CSM and Krychek are the ones who took her the first time around! What do they want with her sir?"

" I don't know-"

" You are the only one who knows how to get to him-"

" Agent Scully, you can't just get to him-"

" Hannah is in trouble…don't you care about that at all?"

" Of course I do-"

" Then get in contact with that bastard and tell him to leave her alone!" Scully snapped before stalking off.

Skinner watched her go and took his cell phone. He dialled a number.

" Yes."

" She knows."

" Then you know what to do Mr. Skinner. Don't fail me this time."
