She saw and heard Mulder but it wasn't Mulder, and this man, this man who claimed to be him, but didn't look like him. He said that he would prove it to her and if only she could have seen what was in that bag. Maybe she didn't need to, maybe the simple statement of "Would I do this?" was all that was necessary. This Mulder she had been working with the past few days was not her Mulder and she knew that, but she had brushed it off as stress. Then there was this Fletcher guy who claimed to be Mulder and acted like Mulder. He tried to prove it with facts, her name, her family, what she ate for lunch, but that wasn't what made her wonder, it was the comment that she hadn't changed that her reaction was so like her. That was something Mulder would know. Besides he called her Scully and Mulder always called her Scully. She needed more proof though, she had to see this man one more time. Military Holding Facility The doors opened jarring him from his state of half sleep. He caught a glint of red hair that reflected the light that had managed to make it through a slit these people claimed was a window. She had come! Maybe there was a chance after all. "You have twenty minutes," he heard the guard tell the visitor. She entered the room and he stood up to greet her. "Hold on just a second here, I'm still not sure who you are and I need you to answer some questions before I'll even start to believe." He sat back down on the bed while nodding. "You said you had proof that you were Mulder, I want it." "It was in that bag. They took it from me." "Not that kind of proof, if you're suggesting that you switched bodies with my partner all that would be is scientific evidence on how it could have happened. Meaning that it could have happened to anyone. I want proof that you are my partner." "Okay, you want real proof. I've called you Dana, what maybe 10 times at most in all the years I've known you, I bet you this guy has called you Dana more times than that." "Common knowledge, everyone knows Mulder calls me Scully." "Then that man is not Mulder." "I've had that feeling for a while, I don't need proof that he isn't my partner I need proof that you are." "Your cross." "My what?" "Your cross, you aren't wearing it." "No I guess I'm not." "Your mom gave that to you on your 15th birthday, you lost it when you were abducted in '94. I kept it for you. I wore it when you were gone. I gave it back to you when you when you returned, it means something." She was practically speechless, and then he said it. "You still owe me nothing Scully, but you owe it to yourself to believe me now." "I believe Mulder, I do." All comments can be sent to boo33@stny.lrun.com
