I love you more
Ch 3
At the star way motel complex, from room 22 there is lots of crashing around and all three men shouting, soon it quiets and Mulder is on the floor bleeding and unconscious
"no one fucking insults or threatens my mom or sister" bill shouts
He's leaning over Mulder, he turns to skinner
"he caught you well "
Skinner puts his hand to his nose, and he sees blood
"cant believe he made me bleed again"
They then look at each other
"got a shiner too Walt"
He shakes his head, Mulder was coming to, bill bends down to his level on the floor
"now Mulder I suggest you pack and leave DC for good, I smell you and ill come after you, you won't live next time"
He stands and walks out, Mulder looks at skinner from the floor and kneels up running his hands over his bloody face.
"Bye Mulder" is all skinner says.
As he walks out a car pulls up, parks and Dana rushes out of the driver side
"oww my god Walt are you ok?"
She says touching his cheek then checks his nose
"I'm fine Dana" he pulls away
"its not broken Walt your lucky, you'll have a great bruise though. Why'd you do it? I expected bill to do it but why you?"
He shrugs "I love you and he was completely wrong to threaten you, so he's been dealt with. Can we go now?" he asks
"no" says Dana, "hug first"
He opens his arms and she hugs him
"thanks" he whispers near her ear...
"Let's go" announces bill
and they all get into the cars, mom with Dana and skinner with bill. As they drive away Dana notices the curtain move in the room in front of them, but ignores it, he's gone too far this time, and she doesn't want to see him.
Cutting across the lanes of the main roads Monica is worrying more about Dana, then her cell rings
"Reyes"
"didn't you see it was me?" its Dana
"no I'm driving"
"where you going?"
"Star way motel"
"why?"
"Cos I'm coming after you"
"how'd you know I was there?"
"I couldn't contact anyone so I put a trace on yours and Skinners cells. Are you ok? Are you in trouble?" she's worried
"no I'm fine, well I am now, where are you?"
"I'm not sure. Eight miles from the complex"
"pull in at the services, its about two miles from you, ill meet you there. Ok?"
"do you need to tell me something? You and skinner at a motel?"
"Mon, no, not at all, Mom and bill are here too, ill explain later. See you at the services?"
"Yeah ok, love you"
"yeah same"
She hangs up, that's not like Dana, it upsets her, she knows something is wrong. She sees the services and pulls in no sign of Dana so she waits outside the car.
Skinners cell rings
"yes"
"Dana says pull in at the services, were meeting Monica" its mrs Scullly
"ok" he hangs up
"bill pull it at the services, Dana says were meeting Monica"
"oww Monica, moms talked about her"
Both nod and go quiet again, both unsure of what to say after what happened in room 22 or what to say otherwise, their complete strangers thrown together but a love of two special women.
Soon Dana pulls into the parking lot and sees Monica stood outside her car smoking, Monica has been trying to quit, so her smoking surprises Dana. She parks next to her as bill follows, soon they are all out, Dana takes a second to breath before she gets out, she practically runs to Monica and throws her arms around her. Monica is stunned, unsure how to respond, she flicks her cigarette and hugs her back
"Monica I'm so glad your here" says Dana
She pulls Monica down and kisses her on the lips, oblivious to the crowd watching.
"I'm going to wash up, coming Walt?" says bill
"yeah with you"
Both men walk off leaving Dana, Monica and Mrs Scullly outside. Dana still has hold of Monica,
"Dana I need more ciggies, ill go in, Want anything?"
She needs to escape so Dana can talk to Mrs Scullly alone...
"No I'm fine, are you ok?"
"yes"
She wiggles out of Dana's grip and walks inside.
