"How in the hell did it know we were in here!" Mulder said as he ushered Scully out of pile of ice & snow, the yeti advanced on them as soon as it caught sight of them. Mulder stepped valiantly in front of Scully & emptied his clip into the creature, but it had little effect, the yeti delivered him a crushing blow with its massive hand & made off with him before Scully could even blink.
Scully followed the yeti's tracks with a sense of urgent determination, when she arrived at the mouth of the cave she stopped to grab the high-powered hunting rifle their guide had brought for bears & mountain lions. Hoping that it would be enough, she ventured into the cave. The yeti took notice of her instantly & charged towards her, she retreated to a vantage point that was level with the monster's head; she took aim with the rifle & fired. The bullets hit their mark, traveling straight through the yeti's ear into its brain. It clamored around the cave for a moment before felling dead on the ground. Scully hopped down & emptied her pistol's clip into its ear just in case before running to Mulder's side. "My hero." He said with painful humor, she smiled in spite of it all as she gently examined him. "Mulder, you're arm appears to be broken in three places & you might very well have a few broken ribs." She said as she located a nearby leg bone of some unknown creature & used it along with her scarf to splint his arm. "I guess you're going to have to drive us back to base on the snowmobile, huh?" He said jokingly, she gave him one of her famous withering looks. "Mulder, after almost eight years together, I would think you'd know me better then that, I radioed for a chopper to pick us up." She replied wryly.
Mulder straightened involuntarily in his hospital bed when Scully walked through the door. "Your doctor is talking about releasing you today as long as you promise to take it easy." She said as she sat on the side of his bed, he smiled wryly. "Well I guess you're going to have to stay with me again." He replied. She rolled her eyes at him as she rose to begin packing his things for him. "Hey, Scully?" He said, his voice dropping intimately, she stopped what she was doing & walked to his bedside. They stood, looking into each other's eyes for what seemed like an eternity. "I love you." He said; she rolled her eyes again, but instead of giving her famous 'Oh brother' she leaned in close to him & put her hand on his cheek. "I know you do." She said with a sigh as she moved to whisper into his ear. "& so do I."
