Chapter 4 Ransom?!
Monica woke from her nap sometime that evening. John and the Lonegunmen were downstairs in case they heard from Krycek. Once they did, then they would trace the call.
The first thing Monica noticed was that she was floating in the air, high above her bed. Weird, thought Monica. What if she was able to fly or something? Falling back on the bed, Monica went downstairs to brew some coffee. She needed something to wake her up.
Monica wanted the whole thing with Madison to be one big nightmare. She wanted her daughter to be at home and safe. But she wasn't.
She joined the others in the livingroom. The Lonegunmen had set up their equipment and John appeared to be on the phone with Krychek. " 10 million? at midnight? ok we'll bring the money. Just don't hurt our daughter or Mulder and Scully's. Their innocent in this". said John. Langly signaled that he finally had the trace. Krycek had hung up.
John was now angry. "Krycek is holding the girls at Ransom. IF he doesn't have the money by midnight. The girls are going to die. He wants only you there, Monica".
Monica went over to her husband she was angry as well. "He can't get away with this! John, I want my daughter back now. We will get what he wants and then I'm going alone. You need to stay here". she ordered.
John looked at her. "You can't be serious. I can't let you go alone!" he then said. Monica looked at her husband. "You have to stay here John. YOu know how dangerous Krycek is. If its anyone who can get these girls out alive, its me."
The lonegunmen nodded. "She's right, John". said Frohike.
JOhn sighed. He had no choice but to let Monica go. "Alright. But call me as soon as its safe to" he said. Monica tried to force a weak smile. "I will you know that." She gave him a kiss, then left to go find the Money.
Taking the directions, MOnica drove to Krycek's location. A golden gate bridge. Oh great, what was his plan to drop the girls to their deaths? Monica got out of the vehicle and hurried she didn't want to be late.
