EPLIOUGE
Hannah survived the gun shot wound. She had lost a lot of blood and had needed a blood transfusion. There were some close calls but she eventually pulled through.
Scully kissed her check. Hannah had just woken and looked a bit better.
" It would take more than a gun shot wound to bring me down Dana." Hannah joked as Scully stroked her cheek.
" I know you're feeling better if you're making jokes." Scully replied, " You gave us quite a scare."
" Did anyone see who shot me?" Hannah asked her and Scully shook her head.
" No. I thought it was Krychek."
" He didn't have a gun on him." Hannah paused, " And I've come to a decision."
Scully's worst fear was about to come true. She knew this was coming, it was only a matter a time.
" Do you have to?"
" You know I do. As long as these men live, I'll never be free. They'll keep on taking from me until there's nothing left to take. I want to be free Dana."
Scully nodded, " I know."
Three days later, Scully and Hannah stood by Hannah's car.
" Do you have any idea of where your headed?"
" You know I can't tell you." Hannah said, " You'll just come looking for me. And remember, no phone calls. My cell phone is now disconnected." Her arms wrapped around Scully's waist.
" How would I know if you're okay?"
" I'll be fine." Hannah assured her, " They won't know where I'm headed." She smiled at her, " Mulder will keep you busy I'm sure."
" What about Skinner? Have you said goodbye to him?"
" Last night. I have to get going now Dana."
Scully's arms tightened around her waist, " No, stay for a little while longer…"
" The longer I stay, the harder it will be." Hannah stroked her hair before her mouth came down onto hers for a long, lingering kiss. " Whatever happens Dana, don't forget me."
" I won't." Dana said and watched as her girlfriend climb into the car. The two women gazed at each other silently before Hannah closed her door. Scully didn't take her eyes of the car until Hannah had driven out of her life.
THE END.
OR IS IT?
