Chance Encounter

Krycheck smiled slightly as the late afternoon sun bounced off the windscreen of the sedan opposite him. He had not expected to see the red haired doctor ever again. He couldn't help but smile as her presence reminded him of his old life. He had been the ratfaced pain in Fox Mulder's side but now he was a different man. He had found his true calling. He shook his head slightly as she left the car and walked towards the hospital entrance. He had no idea why she was there but he knew he had to make it clear to her that she was not to concentrate her efforts on him and his friends. They had work to do and could well do without Mulder and Scully interfering.

Scully closed her eyes as she leant against the wall. She knew that she would have to tell Mulder but she didn't have the words. When it was just her she was terrified but now she was a married woman, a mother it was unthinkable that she was never going to see Lucy and William grow up. Before she knew what was happening she dug out her cell phone and pressed speed dial.

"Mulder."

"It's me."

"Scully, where are you? Are you ok? I've been trying to reach you." Mulder walked along the road back to his car as he spoke. "Dana? What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry." She sighed as she tried not to cry. "I."

"Where are you? I'm on my way."

"Mulder, please." Scully took a deep breath. "I'm fine."

"You do not sound fine." Mulder felt the cold grip of fear twist his guts. Scully did not cry easily. He hared the thought of what could make her so upset.

"I had a nosebleed."

"Where are you?"

"At the hospital."

"I'm on my way."

"No Mulder, I'll meet you at home. Mom still has the kids. Please just meet me at home." He agreed as he heard her try not to sob. At that moment in time she could have asked anything of him and he would have gladly agreed.

"He's definately in DC." Monica stated as John drove through the busy streets.

"Yeah. "John shook his head.

"Which means he may be here for some other reason. I mean this may not be related to the Sunrise group." Monica pulled out her smartphone and began looking for the data she had programmed in earlier.

"Why else would he be here?"

"Didn't he have a history with Mulder and Dana?" Monica watched as John frowned.

"Yeah, I guess." He checked the rear view mirror, "Mon."

"What?"

"We have a tail." He turned the corner as the black SUV behind them did the same.

Dana opened the car door as she tried to work out what she was going to tell her husband. The cancer returning had always been her greatest fear. She knew she had been living on borrowed time. As she slipped the key into the ignition she closed her eyes. The sharp cold metal of a gun was pressed to her neck.

"Hi, well it's been a long time." Krycheck smirked.

"Not long enough."

"Ah now Mrs Mulder."

"Dr Scully." She corrected automatically.

"Feminist till the end. And I assure you Dr Scully. Unless you do as I say, it will be the end." He dug the gun a little harder into her skin as she closed her eyes.
