Mulder touched the side of his face and winced in pain, Michael was going to pay for that.

He uncuffed Skinner and moved away, he slowly stood up.

Scully rolled onto her back and blinked several times, she touched her forehead and felt blood.

Skinner helped her off the floor and she sat on the bed, she felt a little dizzy and sick.

"Okay, now im gonna kick your ass." Skinner said angrily, no one handcuffed him and made him sit on the floor.

"Whoa." Mulder said. "One at a time."

Skinner frowned, no way; he thought. This guy needs his ass beating and im going to do it.

"Let your bold friend take a swing." Michael said happily.

Little did he know that Skinner was a very tough man and would easily break his jaw with one swing.

Skinner stepped forward but Mulder stopped him. Skinner and Michael both frowned.

"what are you doing?" Skinner asked.

Mulder ran hand through his hair and took a deep breath.

"No one touches Dana and gets away with it." Mulder said.

"Exactly, thats why im gonna kick his ass."

"Yeah you and your dog Toto." Mulder replied sarcastically. "His ass is mine."

Mulder stepped forward and Michael moved away, he didnt like the look in Mulder's eyes.

"Bring it on." Michael said as he stepped away, Mulder frowned. He would if Michael didnt keep moving away.

"What are you moving away for...scared?"

Michael smiled, he was anything but scared.

Skinner sat on the bed next to Scully and examined the minute cut above her eye, he held her chin in her hand and looked into her eyes. She looked back into his and they smiled at each other. Then Scully went a little embarresed and had to look away. She wasnt in love with him or anything but he liked her.

She stood and approached Mulder, she touched his arm lightly.

"Mulder, he isnt worth it." she said Mulder.

Mulder looked down at her, frowning deeply.

"What?" he asked in disbelief.

"Leave it to the police to handle." she said, it was better than Mulder getting arrested for assult.

Mulder looked at Michael in disgust, he smiled happily. The police would say there wasnt enough evidence so he knew he wouldnt go to jail for long.

Scully almost had to pull Mulder away, Skinner stopped and looked at Michael.

"See ya bold dude." Michael said happily.

Skinner raiased his eyebrows and approached Michael.

"What did you say?"

Michael cleared his throat.

"Women love bold people, you married?"

Skinner fornwed.

"Guess not." Michael mumbled. "But hey...you might be able to buy some spray on hair off Ebay or something."

Skinner did not find his joke amusing or to make any sense, so he decided to knock some sense into him instead.

Mulder lifted Scully's chin up and he kissed her forehead, on the opposite side of her wound. She smiled and wrapped her arms around him, she thought herself to be a very lucky woman as she had just escaped being raped by Michael and God knows what else. She was lucky to have a friend in Skinner and a soulmate in Mulder.

"Things could of been alot worse." Mulder said as he saw the look on her face.

Scully nodded, she knew that.

"Thats why im here to protect you." he said.

"Even when your drunk?" she saked.

Mulder smiled and then shrugged.

"Depends who drunk i am, but Skinman could always take my place in rescuing once in a while."

Scully smiled, she had never realised how bald Skinner actually was until Michael had stated the obvious.

Mulder looked eeply into her eyes, he was thinking the exact same thing.

"Well i guess the vacation is over." Mulder said with a little disappointment.

Scully rasied her eyebrows, they had 2 days left yet.

"Well...we still have two days left. Lets make them two days we will never forget."

Mulder leant down and passionately kissed Scully.

Oh yeah; he thought.
