Return.

Scully hated Alex Krycheck. If there was one thing she remained certain of in this life it was that she hated the man sat holding a gun on her with a passion she didn't even know she had. She tried to negotiate the rain swept streets as she realised where she was going.

"Why?"

"A trip down memory lane." He smiled as she fought the urge to scream.

"Skyland Mountain."

"Where everything went wrong for me. "Krycheck smiled.

"For you?"

"You think it was only you messed up in all this? Anyway, I like to think it's rather poetic. You escaping death here all those years ago and now in that same place it's catching up with you." Scully narrowed her eyes as she saw Krucheck smile slightly at his own statement.

"You Rat bas."

"Now Dana. That isn't very nice. What would William and Lucy say if they heard language like that from you? Remember, you're a mom now. Keep driving." He pushed the gun into her neck as she narrowed her eyes. She knew he was using emotional blackmail but had no idea how he knew about her children. She fell quiet, annoyed with herself for letting him get to her.

Monica sat in silence as John drove. Mulder was sat in the front passenger seat of the sedan as Monica stared at the little bleeding light on her GPS that told them where Scully was headed. John sighed as they reached the traffic lights.

"Anything?"

"Yeah. They aren't in the city anymore." She narrowed her eyes as the gadget bleeped.

"Where the hell are they?" Mulder barked.

"I've never heard of it but it looks to me that they are headed to a place called Skyland Mountain."

"You sure? Reyes, are you sure?" He half turned in his seat to face her.

"Yeah."

"Doggett turn this car around."

"Ok. Ok." John swung the car so that they were facing the other direction. He floored the accelerator as other drivers beeped and hollard.

"What's the significance with this place? If it's anything to do with this cult he is involved with, then everything has a significance. Everything."

"Its a mountain, disused dry ski slope." Mulder explained. "And it has nothing to do with the Sunrise Cult and everything to do with me and Scully. Its where I lost her once."

"What?"

"Mon, Dana was abducted. She was missing."

"For three weeks, four days and nine hours." Mulder answered as he glanced at his wedding band. "She was half dead when she turned up in the hospital. We still have no idea how she got there." He paled at the memory of his partner laying in yet another hospital bed. He knew even then he was in love with her. Even her sister, Melissa had known it. He sighed as he thought of Charlie and Bill and wondered how he was going to face Margaret with the news her little girl was in danger again due to him. He knew how he would react if it was Samantha.

"But she was found." Monica smiled slightly. "That's the important thing. She came home."

"Exactly." John answered as his car reached the freeway.

"Yeah, and we will find her this time. I am not leaving my godchildren without their mom." Monica sighed as she rested her head back against the seat. It was already getting dark and Monica couldn't help but wonder what they would say to William and his baby sister if the worst happened. Both men fell silent as the GPS continued to bleep in Monica's hand.

"I don't believe this." Mulder looked horrified as the car joined the freeway.

"What?" John asked innocently.

"He's taking her there again."

"Where?"

"Skyland Mountain."
