By the time Kita came back with the injection of sedatives for Scully Nadia was already on page 111.
"What had Abigail felt that afternoon? she wondered. That beautiful whitewash brick mansion, that gathering of Virginia gentry and she only a few years removed from the service apartment of the Saunders house in Apple Junction," Nadia was saying as Kita carefully injected the liquid into the IV. Scully blinked a couple times and then yawned softly. She looked up at Mulder, fear written on her face and easily readable in her eyes.
"It's going to be okay, I'll see you in a couple hours when you wake up okay?" Mulder said reassuringly as he pushed a few strands of her coppery-red hair off her face. She smiled back at him meekly and closed her eyes, leaning back against the pillows that were propping her up.
After a few minutes she fell asleep leaving Kita and Nadia whispering amongst themselves while Mulder stayed by her bedside holding her hand.
"We're going to get started pretty soon okay Mr. Mulder?" Nadia told him breaking the silence of his mind.
"Okay…" he replied without any emotion. Kita smiled gently and nodded to her sister so as to signal that they needed to go prepare for the surgery. Nadia then followed Kita out of the room and toward the OR. They got into some scrubs and then proceeded to wash their hands and put gloves on.
"You ready for this Kita?" Nadia questioned as they walked out into the operating room where a nurse was standing by checking Scully's vitals.
"As ready as I always am," Kita replied, her voice muffled slightly by the light blue mask that covered the lower half of her face. Nadia sighed softly and walked over to the nurse, relieving her of her position. Kita looked over at her sister and then picked up a drill like tool.
"Here we go again," Kita scoffed as she turned on the machine. She brought it to Scully's face and gently began drilling the incision on the bridge of her nose.
"Kita, how can you do that without making a face?" Nadia questioned casually.
"I'm used to it. Can you pass me the syringe please? And make sure you fill it with three milligrams of the solution would you?"
"Got it. Here," Nadia replied as she passed her sister the full syringe. Kita took the device from her and then slid the needle into the hole she had drilled; making sure the tip pierced the tumour. Once she was sure it had she injected the purplish fluid into it.
"Now it's just a matter of waiting before we can extract that…thing," Kita muttered as she placed the needle back on a tray. "Good thing I brought something to pass the time," she smirked under her mask.
"Kit, what do you have hidden in that mind of yours? Is it that 'thing' you were talking about yesterday?" Nadia asked, her eyes glinting with curiosity.
"Maybe…see that vial of orangey stuff? Can you fill the long armed syringe with 4 milligrams of it? Please and thank you. And pass me that ultrasound machine." Kita instructed. Nadia gazed at her sister in amazement. Kita may have been an introvert but she was a clever one. Nadia did as she was told and then watched as Kita carefully scanned Scully's abdomen with the wand of the ultrasound machine before gently inserting the syringe into it.
"I hope you know what you're doing Kit."
"I always do Nad, I always do."
