A/N: I really hope you like this chapter because it took a lot of thinking about. I knew what I wanted to do but didn't know how to write it without it sounding cheesy! Well I hope the cliff-hanger the last chapter ended on didn't leave you too frustrated. Well here it is!!
CH5
As they slowed down the driver of the lorry had a straight face. He looked as if what he was doing was normal. But as they slowed even more, a wave of dread swept over both Fox and Dana. They knew they were about to launch into a fight for their lives. This was not uncommon in their line of work but there was something different this time. There was no evidence to examine. No data to spot trends in. The only weapons they had were their minds, and each other. Fox saw the look on Dana's face and wrapped his arm around her just as they came to a stop. The driver got out and Fox whispered "Don't worry. I won't let him harm you or our baby." Dana gave him a weak smile and the driver walked round their side of the lorry and opened the door.
"Get out. Now." He said in a sinister voice. Dana and Fox knew better already than to argue with him. They climbed out and the driver shut the door leaving the dog inside. As they followed him round to the back of the lorry they saw that the back door had been unlocked and opened. He pushed Fox inside and Dana followed. Brett shoved the two agents onto the floor and Dana automatically wrapped her arm round her stomach for protection. They were both facing the side of the lorry but Fox managed to catch a glimpse of what was around him. Dana was unaware of what was going on, she was focusing on what Fox had said to her in the cab and the fact that he never lied to her. She was scared to death at the prospect of something happening that could harm her baby that she refused to think about it. The last thing she remembered was telling herself that she was turning soft in her old age. Then she blacked out. Meanwhile Fox had seen what was coming and the thick rope that came from behind wrapped around his legs and torso. The driver then bound Fox's hands and injected him with the same anaesthetic that he used on Dana. The two agents lay unconscious on the floor of the lorry and the driver stood up straight as if to admire his work. He finished by tying the two people before him to the ring set in the wall and then walked out and shut the door.
The agents woke up within 10 minutes of each other. Dana first woke up and saw the state she was in. her hair was tangled and she had mascara all down her cheeks as if she had been crying. She looked round at Fox and realised as soon as she moved her head she felt a banging pulse like a hangover. Fox lay still and she didn't know what had gone on but she knew that it could hurt. Fox had a black bruise on his wrist and she used her flexibility to twist round and see that she did too. She saw dust remnants on her clothing and twisted a little further too see 3 very large stones. She recognised them immediately and realised what she had seen the previous night had only been a decoy for these people to steal the stones. She did not know how they had done it because it had been over in seconds but, knowing the Spender family she was pretty sure that they had probably uncovered a secret government vehicle with some kind of 'super strength'. She turned back just to see Fox stirring from his drug induced sleep. He sat up delicately and looked at her. He took in the severity of their new situation and noticed that this was than being stranded at Stonehenge. He shuffled up to her and did his best to put his hand on her stomach. She shuffled forward and lay her head on his back. They stayed like this until the lorry stopped. When it did they both drew in a deep breath, but even after 15 minutes nothing happened. Dana and Fox relaxed a bit, after 20 minutes. They sat and said nothing to each other thinking about how they were about to get out of this one. Fox looked about and noticed a small blade-like metal sheet that had been poorly nailed to the wall. One end had broken free and was hanging loose, and Fox was sure it would cut the ropes that bound them if he or Dana could just stand up and cut their wrist ties. As Dana hadn't been bound round her middle she could stand up. He pointed it out to her and she agreed. She carefully stood up because her feet were bound, she began scraping her rope against the metal. After what seemed like forever the rope finally gave way and her hands became free. She jumped down and undid her foot ties and then did the same to Fox's. she examined her wrists, there were bruises where the ropes had been but there were also deep cuts that she had not even been aware of doing as she cut her rope.
"Oh man… that can't be good." She said applying pressure to the lacerations. "Fox, come here." she said to Fox who was walking around beginning to explore.
"Oh God Dana, what have you done? Are you ok?" Fox asked her with a great amount of concern in his voice. He was terrified for her.
"I don't know I feel a bit faint. I need some old rag or a bandage to stem the blood flow. Quick Fox…" she said weakly. She slumped to the floor in an attempt to save energy. She could feel every time her heart beat like a reckoning. She knew if Fox didn't think of something soon she would pass out and then there would be no going back. She would need a blood transfusion and that wasn't going to happen in the back of a lorry. She feared for her baby's life more than her own. Now that she was I right situation to have a baby she wasn't about to lose the chance that could be her last. Just as she felt herself waning, she heard the clicking footsteps of Fox. He had come back, and brought a first aid kit. She loved him endlessly even on normal days, but today she knew she would have died without him. He quickly and tightly wrapped the bandages around her wrists. He laid her down with her head on his lap. Just as she had when they had been out in the woods and he had been hurt. Both of then hoped that this had done the trick and would save two lives. The blood would clot and all that would be left of this terrible accident would be some scarring. He held her and her bump in a hope that she would be ok.
"Man I need the toilet…" Fox whispered to himself after a few hours. Dana was still recuperating on his lap.
"Yeah I'm quite desperate too." Came a voice.
"Dana, you're awake? Oh thank god! I thought I had lost you… both." He finally said. "Are you feeling better?"
"I think so. I don't feel dizzy anymore, thankfully."
"Good. Well now that you are awake, I can tell you what I was thinking about." he turned to her.
"Well, what?" Dana said intrigued.
"Well I was thinking if this baby is a girl, what do you think of the name Roxy Melissa Mulder." he said with a twinkle in his eye.
"I.., I love it Fox. I love it. I know Lissy would love it too. She was always so child orientated. She couldn't wait to be a mom and.." she trailed off recalling the fateful events of the night Melissa Scully was shot dead after being mistaken for Dana herself.
"I know, I know." Fox said to her. As he hugged her to him they heard a metal clang and the door of the lorry began to open. They both scrambled back into place to make it look like they were still tied up just as the driver appeared in the doorway. The man studied the two. They had glazed eyes and acted as if they had just woken up, which they almost had. Dana had pulled her sleeve down over the bandage Fox had wrapped round her wrist so it could not be seen.
