Dana Scully's Apartment Anapolis,MD 4:27 pm Scully freezes in her place. The dead man's voice fills the room. "Agent Scully, I know you are there pick up the phone." X says. She goes over to the phone and cautiosly picks it up. "Agent Scully, I have information for you." he says. "Who are you?" she whispers. "I think you know who. Meet me at the Jefferson Memorial tonight at 10:00. You know who to look for." Scully heard a click and then the dial tone. She hung up the phone in shock. She decided to hold off seeing Mulder until she heard what X had to say. She looked at her watch, it was 4:35 now, she decided to pay a visit to Mulder's apartment. ************************************************************************ Mulder's Apartment 5:01 pm Scully sat on Mulder's couch she didn't know why she had come here, but it made her feel better. She rummaged through his desk and found some tape, she made the letter X on the window. She went back to the couch and lay down. Soon she was asleep. ************************************************************************ Four And A Half Hours Later It was a little after 9:30, when she woke up. She had to get to the Jefferson Memorial soon. Scully got up and exited Mulder's apartment. ************************************************************************ The Jefferson Memprial 10:13 pm Scully arrived on time, but it took her a while to find X. "Hello Ms. Scully." he said from behind some bushes, making her jump. "Why are you here, your dead?" she asked. "Correction, I *was* dead, but I didn't come here to talk about that," X answered, "I learned of Mulder's condition awhile ago. I have something that may help him." "What is it?" Scully asked coldly. "Agent Mulder is suffering a severe form of cacophony." X answered. "Cacophony doesn't do that type of thing though, it does drive a man insane." Scully said. "That's not all though. Mr. Mulder's brain function is being controlled." he responded. "By whom and why?" Scully said. "I do not know." "Hell you don't know! If you don't know then how can you help him?" she said angrily. X didn't say anything, he only walked away. she thought. She sighed and walked away. ************************************************************************ Georgetown Memorial Hospital 10:33 pm Luckily for her neither Skinner, Fowley, or any really nosey doctors were there. Scully went into the monitoring room. Mulder was screaming into the camera. Scully couldn't stand it. What was happening to him, and why? Though something gave her a feeling that whoever was controlling his brain function was working with CSM, and the one person who came to mind was Diana Fowley.... ************************************************************************ Outside Watergate Apartments 5:01 am Scully sat in her car waiting rehearsing her plan in her head. She was going to break into Fowley's apartment, hopefully find her there, and get the answers she wanted. She got out of the car and headed in, she had found Fowley's address in Mulder's desk so it made it alot easier to find her. Scully stood outside the door playing with the lock... ************************************************************************ Diana Fowley had just woken up, she was a mess. She went to the kitchen to get the coffee. She thought she heard the door open, but she ignored it. As she exited the kitchen she was surprised to see Dana Scully pointing a guin at her. "You move I shoot you, and if you don't hive me the answers I want I shoot you." Scully said with hostility, "Sit down." Fowley obeyed and quietly sat down. "What were you doing with Mulder?" Scully asked. "I told you he called me and I found him," she said calmly. "That's a lie, you've got ten seconds to tell me the truth or your dead." Fowley swallowed the air she inhaled, and then sighed, "I followed him there, I was ordered too." "By whom?" Scully asked. "The Smoking Man" "You are working for him aren't you?" Fowley nodded, she wasn't doing a good job at hiding her fear. "Why is this being done to Mulder?" "Because he knows to much." Fowley answered in a shaky voice. "And they thought you would be the perfect person to do the job because of your past. They knew that he would trust you." "Yes." "How can I help him?" Scully asked. "You'll find what you'll need back in Africa," Fowley said, "are we done." "I hope for you that you are right." Scully said as she started to exit the apartment. ************************************************************************ Fowley's Apartment Later That Day "Why did you tell her?" said CSM. "Because unlike you I wouldn't mind living a little longer." Fowley snapped back. "Well, we can take care of Agent Scully quite easily" he said. "Everytime you try to take care of your Scully oroble, it always back fires!" said Fowley. "Well, this time Mulder won't be there to save her will he?" he taunted. "Not unless she get's to him first with the cure." Fowley said. "I won't be let down agai Agent Fowley, you didn't try hard enough. You need to feed them lies..." He said as withdrew out a gun and shot her in the forhead.... ************************************************************************ FBI Headquarters 5:15 pm "Skinner will see you now Agent Scully," said his secretary Kim. Scully stepped into his office closing the door behind her. "I hope this is good Agent Scully," he sighed. "Sir, I recently went to the Ivory Coast, that is where I found what would be believed to be a UFO. This morning I was told that there I would find something to help Agent Mulder." Scully said. Skinner looked up at her. She continued,"I need your help. We need to uncover it and find this cure for whatever has happened to Mulder." "If we this is true I will help you Agent Scully, but if I am going to be lead on a wild goose chase, then I won't." "Sir, it is true.." ************************************************************************ The Ivory Coast Skinner had brought in a group of scientists to study this, but they had to keep it secret so they wouldn't draw much attention. Scully studied everything carefully since she wasn't sure exactly what she was looking for. When she had found out that Dr. Sandoz was found dead in New Mexico, and that the artifact was missing she knew then that the artifact must hold whatever the cure is. She explained to the tem what they were to look for, and she asked Skinner to arrest Dr.Barnes as soon as possible. She had a feeling though when she talked to Skinner that he knew something, but wasn't telling her. ************************************************************************ The Ivory Coast Youth Hostel 12:03 am Karin Geona had never been so amazed or proud, she was a young scientist, who was new to the field. Karin was 25, very tall, standing at 6'1", she had an olive complexion, long light brown hair, and hazel eyes. She had been invited to help excavate what was thought to be a UFO. The project was to be kept secret which made it so interesting. They were working to uncover certain artifacts that may hold information. She was going over notes she had gathered during the day, and she had her Garbage CD turned up so loud that you could hear it even with headphones on. The woman she had been sharing the room with was a woman who had been ruuning most of the project, her name was Dana Scully. She went out to go get some ice about 20 minutes ago, and still hadn't come back. Karin was getting a weird feeling so she got up and went to look for her, even though she was in her Mr.Bubbles pajamas. First she went into the concession room were the ice machine was, but there was no sign of her. So Karin, checked out the game room, the pool house, and the kitchen, but still there was no sogn of her. So Karin went to the main office. "Excuse me sir?" she asked the man at the desk. "Yes ma'am?" the man asked. "Did, um, a woman come by here at all, who was , like, *alot* shorter than me, had red hair..." she asked. "No miss, sorry." "Okay then can I use your phone? I think she's missing..." ************************************************************************ TO BE CONTINUED....... Ideas and comments are greatly excepted at shippergurl@gurlmail.com
