Source: direct Category: SR Rating: PG Title: It was one fine day, but it ended in tears. Mulder was sitting at his desk in the X-Files office on a Tuesday morning as normal; he was looking over a past X-File. He started to read it aloud, "U.F.O spotted, woman in her mid-twenties spotted a U.F.O over the border of Washington DC in 1970, she was missing for 10 years, returning in 1980 she knew nothing of what happened, she was found dead a week later. She had mark below here left ear, that can't be deter mend of its purpose or nature. Time of deceased 4:20.42 pm 16th of November 1980." Mulder thought to himself, he thought of Scully and the mark she had, he thought of what would happen if he ever lost he, he thought of his love towards her. Mulder's phone started to ring, "Mulder." "Mulder, It's Scully, I'm at the hospital you better come quick."" "I'll be right there." Mulder arrived at the hospital several minutes later, he asked the reception desk where he would find Scully and she pointed in the of Scullys position. Milder started to walk down a long corridor, the walls were two shades of blue, all the doors were stainless steel, he reached a double door at the end of the corridor, above the door read MORG Mulder entered the morg with concern, he found Scully over body, #365. "Scully, what are you doing here?" Scully pulled of the dead blanket, just enough to show the head of an elderly woman, she turned the dead body's neck to the side. "Look Mulder, this woman has the chip!" Mulder looked at the body to see the same mark as he saw in the photos in the X-File he was reading earlier that day. "Mulder, this woman had cancer, she had it removed, and it is like it just grew back. This morning I checked my neck and look Mulder." Mulder looked at Scully, he looked into her little green eyes and worried about her. "Mulder, Look at me, JUST LOOK AT ME" Mulder walked over to Scully and looked under her ear, there was a mark where her chip was, but next to that was a lump, Mulder felt over this lump, and thought of the worst. "Scully, I think you better have an X-Ray" "Yes I know Mulder, in fact I have already booked my self in. I should be there now." Mulder and Scully walked out of the morg and headed for the X-Ray room. They found it of course and Scully went in for her X-Ray "This might take a while Mulder, you might as well go home. I'll ring you when it's over." "No, No, I.... Think I'll, I'll... Stay here" Mulder voice started to stutter, he was getting nervous every minute. Much time had past now and Scully had still not come out of the room, "Excuse me" Mulder yelled out. There was no answer, "Um Excuse me" A lady dressed only in white stepped out the door, "Dana will be out soon, don't worry, she's OK." Scully walked out of the room about two minutes later "They wont have the results for a couple of days." "Then we will wait, in the mean time Skinner called me while you were in there. He wants us to go to this address" Mulder handed Scully a piece of paper with an address on it "A elderly woman just died, they have no idea why?" "Mulder, you're not thinking, what I hope your thinking" Mulder didn't answer, he just started to walk out to the exit, and Scully followed him knowing that it would be a long couple of days. A couple of days later, Scully got a ring on her mobile, "Scully" "Hi Scully, it's Doctor Reign, your X-Rays are in. I think it would be best if you come and had a look at them." "Its bad isn't..........." "I'm sorry Scully, you'll have to come here." "Ok I'm on my way." Scully walked out of her apartment and started to head towards the hospital in her new car. Scully arrived at the hospital at 1300 hours, just 20 minutes after they rang her. She met up with Dr. Fellows inside; she had been waiting with her for quite some time. She showed Scully to her office and she had the X-Rays in an orange bag, with the words PRIVATE printed on large black writing on the front. She took out about three of the X-Rays and placed them on a light screen so she could see and explain what was wrong. The X-Ray was around the neck and ear region, below the ear just to the left a touch was a metal plate, it was small, just like a chip. The doctor tried her best to explain this chip, which she knew nothing about. Scully knew exactly what it was; she dreaded how she would tell Mulder. She explained to the doc what it was, so she could put it in her report! After this Scully left the hospital, on the way out she bumped into a tall strange man, a man dressed in black. "Oh - Sorry - My fault. I should've looked where I was going" "No it's quite alright, in fact I'm glad I did, I know who you are Agent Scully. I know about the return of the chip to your lower ear, I know." "NO" Scully yelled, "I have had enough about this alien crap and government conspiracies, I have tolerated Mulder's ideas about this for long enough, I love him but I just can't handle it any more I'm -- I'm --" Scully stopped to think of what she just said, she realized that this chip was sending her bonkers, her only hope was to listen to this man a man she knew nothing about. "Ok, I'm sorry I'm going threw a rough patch, come to my apartment we will talk there." Scully said this with long breaths between each word she was scared to see the future and try and fight it. She was scared to fight the future. Scully showed the man up to her apartment were he then switched off the lights. "What are you doing?" Scully asked "I'm not the man you want to see, the man you want to see you know you know him very well in fact he will be here any minute to help you with your journey. I will leave you alone now Agent Scully, keep the light off and your mouth shut!" The strange man that Scully still didn't know left the building and left Scully alone in her dark apartment, A small light peered out of the door, this light got bigger and bigger as the door opened, the man Scully wanted to see was here. The man had dark skin and had a very deep voice as he spoke to Scully. He switched the light on, "Hello Scully, Remember me?" "..." Scully paused her face started to look scared. "X?? Is that you??" "Hello Agent Scully. Yes it's me I'm X, but I won't go into details about my deaths and me being here, because there is something much more important. YOUR LIFE! Dana you are In trouble, the men that gave you cancer a while ago, have successfully implanted 'another' chip below you left ear near your neck. But this time it's different. This time they won't give up. This chip has proven to give cancer to several other women and men and kill them, you are the 56th person to be implanted with the new chip, there is only a 5% chance of you living Scully, I'm so sorry! But there is more danger, the men that are trying to kill you are also trying to kill Mulder, at this very minute, Go to him now before it's too late, before you are both dead. If you both die, No-One will ever find the truth." X seemed to end his lecture; he started to walk out the door, but stopped and turned around. "Oh and Scully, Trust No One" X walked out the door, leaving scully with the horrible thoughts of both their deaths, she fell to the floor and started to cry then she remembered. "Shit, MULDER!" Scully rushed out of her apartment, not even caring to lock the door. She ran to her car and put it on full throttle and drove to Mulder's house, she arrived there about 5 minutes later but picking up 7 speeding tickets on the way, Oh well the F.B.I will pay for that she thought. She ran up the stairs, there was no way she was taking the elevator; she reached Mulder's apartment she could hear chocking noises inside. "No, Mulder" she yelled on the top of her voice, She belted the door down with her toes, spraining every single one as she did. "Let Mulder's go you pigs, I'm Agent Dana Scully and that is my partner, let go of him or I'll blow your fucking head off!" Inside the apartment were two men in there mid-twenties with their hands around Mulder's neck chocking every last breath away from him. the guys looked at Scully and thought to them self as she was a wanna-be so they continued to chocking him. "I said, let him go or I'll blow your fucking heads off, now let him go! NOW!" Scully drew her gun. "LET HIM GO!" she shouted at the two men once again. "DO IT!" The two men looked at Scully and slowly removed their hands. "Now hands on the floor." The two men lowered them self on to the floor and put their hands on the floor. "Mulder are you O.K.?" Scully rushed over to Mulder who was nearly dead, his breath was tight he could hardly breath he couldn't even speak. "Mulder , I'm...." All of a sudden Scully fell to the floor, at this point the two men bolted out of the door and were now free, 'once again'. "Scully, Scully" Scully had passed out and Muder's exact thoughts were. The Cancer! PART 2. Scully died that night, she was rushed to hospital in Mulder's can, but it was to late. A cancer not know by medical science. Spread rapidly all over Scully's body in under and hour, it's is lucky she got to Mulder on time, other wise there would be two dead F.B.I agents. Mulder stepped up to the microphone at the funeral; Mrs. Mulder and Mr. Mulder looked at him and just wanted her to be alive again. Bill looked at Mulder with anger is his eyes; he blamed him for her death. Fowley looked at Mulder, in a seductive way with Scully out of the way she now could have Mulder all to her self. That's what she thought any way. Mulder took a deep breath and started a speech, a speech that would be around him, in his memory for ever. "Scully, wasn't just a partner, she was a friend. A good friend, a true friend that I treasured dearly. I first met Scully five years ago, when she walked in to my office with her fire red hair; I knew it would never be the same. Scully and I went on a lot of adventures; we went through good times and the bad. The good times will always be in my heart, the truth, well we have been so close to that, even with scully's "Medical Opinions" she kept in there, she never called me spooky. In fact Scully was more then a friend the first time she got the cancer from that bee she was sick, she needed a shoulder to cry on, and I was there for her. I have always been there for Scully, even when Fowley came back and tried my patience at motherly love. She almost had a streak of love in there for me I think. I know I did. You may not understand, but you try working with an attractive, intelligent, sexy, daring, kind lady, and not have fantasies, I loved Scully in my own little way. I think in a way we all loved Scully. Whether you were her mother, Brother, Her father, or just a general friend" He looked at Fowley. "Or even an enemy. We loved Scully. I loved Scully. But she slipped away from me. I should've told her the minute I saw her the first time I... the first time I..." A small tear started to run down Mulder's cheek "The first time I... heard about her, her work in the F.B.I was known for!" He looked in scully's coffin "Scully I love you!" The room was silent, Mulder was in full tears now, and He was crying he had no Idea what he would do with the X-Files. "Mr. Mulder" A man dressed in a red suit, walked up to Mulder and said, this is a telegram for you. He looked at the envelope, it was yellow with a big red stamp reading IMPORTANT on the front, He opened it and inside was a blue shee t of paper. Dear Mulder. By the time you read this I will probably be dead, don't worry about me I will be fine, I will look over you and you work on the X-Files for as long time, I wish I could stay on earth but, the cancer, inside in a folder with all the information you need to crack this case, we have them Mulder, we have found the truth. X came to me, that is how I found you that's how I wrote this note, please Mulder, don't stop the X-Files. Live on the dream find your sister. Remember me, Oh and Mulder I should've told you this a long time ago but... Mulder, I love you. Dana Scully xxx ooo
