"Scully?... Scully?" Scully woke to the touch of a hand on her face. She opened her eyes and waited for them to adjust to the dim light of the early sunrise.

"Mulder? What's wrong?" Scully peered across at Mulder who was standing on one foot leaning against the rock wall of the cave. "Mulder you shouldn't be standing!"

"We have to get moving, I think they will search here later and I don't want to be here when they do." Mulder managed to get whatever they had and started to limp out of the opening. Scully climbed to her feet and went to help Mulder down the steep embankment.

"Mulder please, let me go and just disappear for a while. They won't stop looking for you if you don't" Scully argued trying to make him see reason. Mulder didn't say much until they reached the bottom. Scully stopped and pulled on Mulder's arm, making him face her. "Mulder, please listen to me" Mulder just pulled his arm away.

"Scully you made me watch you nearly marry a man you don't even know, and all I am asking is for one more chance and you won't listen to me, so why should I listen to you now?"

"Because I am your friend Mulder." She said a little hurt.

"Friend? Scully I want to be more than just your friend, don't you see that?!" Mulder argued back.

"Mulder I..." She started but was cut off by dogs barking. Mulder looked around.

"Come on!" he said pulling her along, limping as fast as he could.

"Mulder!" they darted through the trees and heavy scrub as the dogs grew closer and closer.

"This way! They went this way!" They heard a voice yell. Mulder's foot was unbearable as they reached a clearing, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Mulder!" Scully helped him up. He turned to her as they heard footsteps.

"I love you" he said looking at her beautiful face and touched it one last time. Scully opened her mouth slightly, it was the first time he had said it too her and she felt overwhelmed by it. Suddenly the dogs came through the trees.

"Stop right there! Put your hands on your head!" They heard a policeman shout. Mulder and Scully looked to see they were surrounded. "I said put your hands in the air!" Mulder was breathing heavily, this wasn't how it was supposed to happen. With quick reflexes he grabbed Scully and pulled a gun out of nowhere and pointed it at her head.

"I'm sorry Scully" he whispered. "I love you" He was surrounded and he was about to lose the most important thing he had ever had.

"Mulder what are you doing?!" She pulled at his arm but he wasn't listening.

"Put your weapons down or I will shoot her!" Mulder threatened. Scully felt her heart beat quicken.

"Mulder?!"

"Put them down! Now!" He shouted again. Suddenly a shot rang out and everything when quiet. Scully could feel her breath stop as she felt the grip around her loosen. She turned abruptly and saw as Mulders limp form fell to the ground with a thud.

"Mulder?... Mulder!!"
