Chapter 2. The Road

S: We ate breakfast in the room while we lay in bed, he hug me and kiss my forehead, he always does that, is like a bond between us, I missed him, I just didn't want to accept it, but I always do, when I get home I feel empty, I miss his scent, his lips, his crazy theories, he is the man I love, even I have never told him that.

Scully, I'm sorry I brought you this far, but I really needed to escape, I wanted to be alone with you, since we came back to work together, I wanted so bad to be with you again, it was true what I told you the first day we met again, I'm always happy to find a reason to see you.

I stop him with a kiss, a soft and tender kiss.

Mulder stop, I don't want to apologize, as you can see I'm not mad, I'm glad you did it, we needed this, I'm always happy to see you, I miss see you everyday, we are old to keep denying things, I don't wanna spend the rest of my life alone.

Now is him who kisses me and hugs me tight.

Thank you Scully

We stay in bed, our bodies start to relax and we fall asleep hugged, how long did we slept, I don't know, but there's people outside, before we can move, the door opens and two armed men come in, our guns are by the table next to the door, I look at them, one of the men notices and takes them, damn it, we are standing next to each other now, Mulder alternates his gaze between the two men and me with his arms raised.

M: Scully looks at me, she's terrified, I'm scared that something will happen to her, one of them grabs her by the neck and pull her out of the room, I call her name, —Scuullyyy—, but the other man forces me to leave the room still pointing his gun and threatens to kill her if I don't behave.
There's a van in the parking lot, as I approach it, the back doors open wide, I can't see well but there are two more men inside, what the hell is happening? what do these men want with us? Is this a robbery? definitely not, our car is intact, so is the room, they don't look familiar, so what is this? One of the two other men come to hold Scully, the other one holds me, two for each, is this really necessary? I ask what they want, but they ignore me, I scream it now and they punch me in the face, Scully look at me with concern but I tell her i'm ok, the must have been following us, but since when, there's no more people around, they just got us, I demand an explanation.

Suddenly the copilot's door opens and a man gets down to light a cigarette, this can't be possible, what the fuck?, why is he still following us? our faces are full of hate, what do we owe to that damn filthy smoker so he can still continue to chase us?
I hear his smile as he turns to look at us, greets us with his sarcastic gentleness and approaches me, I wanna punch that damn face, he comes really close and starts to talk.

Mulder is so good to see you, I was actually missing you, I really sorry this strength demonstration but I'm afraid this will just get worst.

I really wanna kill him right away.

S: The smoker is so close to Mulder, this is not good at all, the last time we saw him, the whole building explode, how is he still alive? He makes a gesture with the head that makes the man behind Mulder hit him with the butt of the gun, while Mulder falls to the ground I scream.

Nooo, Muldeeerr! Leave him alone you fucking son of a bitch, what do we owe you?

He looks at me with what I think is pitty and then one of them cover my mouth with tape, I start to struggle for them to let me go, but they take me hard making my feet move off the ground and throw me into the van, I feel an excrutiating pain that make me scream, my left arm breaks but my scream is covered by the tape in my mouth, they realize what hey did, so they hold me agains the van's wall in a seating position, I look one last time at the street as they close the doors, to see Mulder lying lifeless in the middle of the parking lot.

They cover my head with a bag of black cloth, I'm in complete darkness, I need to focus on my breathing so I don't faint, the pain is killing me, my cheeks are wet with tears, I can't focus in the road, how many turns, I can't think clearly, I feel dizzy, the van smells like cigarette, damn disgusting pig. How's Mulder? at least they didn't shoot him, I know he's going to be fine, he has to be. I can't lose him again, not now, we are old for this, we need to get through this. Mulder, come get me, please.

M: I get up quickly and I feel dizzy, that idiot doesn't know how to knock someone out, I'm grateful for that, at least I can follow them. Damn smoker, I curse under, what the hell does he wants with us now? I run to the car thinking about Scully, the way they threw her into the van, I'm sure they broke her arm, damn it, I turn on the car and drive as fast as I can, I can't see the car, they drive fast, I need to find her, we were having a great time, recovering our connection, I hate that man, I really do, what does he want with her now? I hope he doesn't hurt her, or he will regret it this time. I feel something vibrating, it's my cell phone, I look at the screen, unknown number, I answer anyway, it's Frohike, who else could call so mysteriously? He asks me if I'm OK, they never call me just for ask how I am, they must know something.

Hey Mulder, there was a leak in the documentary file of the bureau, apparently someone stole files from a very specific database, someone is behind you Mulder.

Tell me something I don't know guys, the smoker got Scully, what files are we talking about Frohike?

Wait the smoker? He was dead right?

Can you focus?

But where are you Mulder? Do you know where is he taking Scully?

Guys please, wich files?

The ones related with Scully's research in Africa and both your abductions, Skinner called us, this is being investigated by the FBI already.

Call him again, I need some back up, I'm sending you my location, look for the roads a van near here, I need to save Scully.

Copy Mulder, over and out.

They send me an address, it's a building not so far where they saw a van. Don't worry, Scully, I'm coming for you, and this time I'll kill that bastard with my own hands.

S: The van stops, they open the doors and get me down carefully, my mouth is dry, the pain is piercing my brain, some doctors come out and take me, I recognize their smell even I can't see them, they are speaking but I can't hear anything I just want the pain to stop, they take away the hood, everything is so white, they put me an iv, I start to feel druggie, will they just heal my arm or will they do something else, I need to do something, I take my necklace and drop it in the floor, I know Mulder is coming after me, I need to give him a sign, I start to see everything black, all the sound is gone and the whole world too.

M: I arrive at the place indicated on the map, it is a building that seems recently had improvements, I park a little far away so they don't listen to me, I don't want them to do more damage to Scully, I take the weapon that is stored under the steering wheel, pity that we lost the other two when they entered the motel room, would be very useful to me now. Apparently there are people inside, I move stealthily through the field and get to a window to observe, there are a couple of doctors in front of screens, next to them are some utensils that seems to have been used recently, maybe in Scully, a sensation urgently invades me just thinking about her, but I continue to observe the interior, I can count three armed men who make a circle round, being able to see one every two minutes, on the outside there are two, one of them was the one who hit my head, there is no trace of the van. the doctors leave so I take the opportunity to enter and look at the screens, there's a slideshow of abductions, implants and experiments in spacecraft. One of the guards approaches to me, I hide under the table and I see it, the golden cross that carries Scully in her neck every day of her life.
They are taking me to that place again, I can't go back there, I really hope Mulder understands the message in my necklace.

As I looked at the necklace, I felt a cold weapon in the back of my neck, I can't turn to see him, but I guess it's the second guard, we're out of sight of the other two, suddenly I heard the gun fired, it has a muffler, but it wasn't me who was shot, I turned around and see the man with a bullet in his head, and next to him, it's her, Marita Covarrubias.

—"Agent Mulder, I see you still love to get in trouble," — She tells me.
More than ten years without seeing her, the last time was in that unfair trial against me, nothing has changed.

- Already found what you were looking for, now go away, this game is perhaps the most dangerous, save Agent Scully and disappear once and for all, forget the x files, there are many truths that you don't want to know, Believe me -

As always, her countenance is serious. She gives me a cell phone and gives me the murder weapon before disappear.
I have too many questions for her, but I couldn't do any, I see now that things will never change, neither for her nor for us, if I don't end with the smoker she will be an undercover agent forever and we, the bait.
I go out and but before I leave, i knock out the idiot who couldn't with me. Scully was very smart about leaving me her cross, now I just need a plan.
