A/N ok- that last chapter was really short- but I was babysitting! This is longer, I promise! Thanks for the reviews, keep them coming!

And without further ado. . .

Odyssey

Mulder followed the car as fast as his blue Volvo would allow. The chase was seemingly endless. He couldn't stop thinking about Scully. How was she? Was she conscious? Was she alive? His mind was wandering, and then snapped out only to see him heading head first into a telephone pole!

The sickening sound of metal crashing into wood was the last thing he remembered before he passed out into the all too welcoming realm of darkness.

A sharp pain flooded him as he slowly flicked his eyes open.

"Lucky he isn't in a coma."

"Lucky he didn't die."

"Shut up, he's awake, idiots!"

"Lang-" he tried to speak.

"Yeah, Mulder, you took a pretty nasty blow to the head there. Care to tell us why you decided to take a 95 MPH drive into a telephone pole?" Langley asked, standing at the side of his friend's hospital bed.

Mulder sat bolt upright. "Scully! Where is she? What about the car? It was a bla-"

"Whoa, Mulder. Hold up! We don't know where Scully is, but we tried to call her. She didn't answer her cell or home phone. Bureau said that you two left the office early that morning on a case."

"No- damn- she got captured by the man we were after! He dragged her into this car and I chased them, and then my mind started to wonder and I just- well, I don't rem- the last thing I remember is waking up."

"Freaky deaky!" said Frohikey.

"Deaky?" Langley sniggered.

"Shut up, Richard."

"Hey you- I swear I'm gonna kick your a-"

"STOP! Guys, cut it out. It sounds like Scully's in trouble. We need to help her. So cut it out." Byers said, turning to look at Mulder, who had gotten out of bed and was going to get his clothes on.

"Damn straight she's in trouble and I'm gonna be the one kicking ass- that guy's ass." Mulder looked determined as he started putting his clothes on.

"Mulder it's not a good idea for you to be up and moving around- the doctor said-"

"Forget what the doctor said- I'm finding Scully if it kills me!" Mulder was getting agitated.

"Well it almost did kill you," said Frohikey matter-of-factly.

"Shut up Frohikey." They all said in unison. He said nothing more, and they followed Mulder out the door, figuring that now would not be a time to cross him, especially when Scully's in danger.

To the lone gunmen's surprise, they went back to Mulder's apartment.
