  Okay this is the first time Ive ever tryed to write an
X-Files Story and so bare with 
me..If people like it maybe Ill try more...
DO I have to do a Disclaimer?
Well here it is then...
Disclaimer:Basicly I didnt create X-Files they belong
to Chris Carter the ButtMuch
so no infringement are inteanded...Please forgive the
mispellings thou..Disclaimers 
do that to me....
***************************
Maybe I should Summurise my story?
Basicly I felt that Pendrells death scence was alittle
lacking...Not that Im some big
Pendrell fan..But if your gonna kill him lets do it
with some angst here..Scully seemed
totaly un-Affected by his death..Even when she told
Mulder..(she shed more tears over
that Rat Dog of hers that Im not even gonna try to
spell his name) SO  Basicly I re-wrote
his death scence..Its basicly the same thou..Just
more angst..Email me please..Just not about my
lousy spelling...I know that...
****************************Is this right?

PENDRELLS REQUIEM
 BY
SLOESSEL

              "Get Down!" was the last thing she yelled
before the first shots where fired,
she saw Pendrell Fall in front of her before returning
fire. Two shots, the first missed totaly but the
secound round hit dead on in the lower leg of the 
Assailant. Scully watched for a breif momment
before turning her attention back to Frish who had
lept for
cover by the Bar, She gave him a quick shove and
told or  rather yelled for him to stay down. She then
moved on the Agent Pendrell, When she saw him fall
she knew he was hit. it was just a matter of where,
and how bad. She knelt beside him and began to
losin his clothes, gentle reachind down to touch his
face and bring his eyes in contact with her own.
"Your going to keep breathing, do you hear me?"
But Pendrell ofered her no response..He was clearly
in shock. Quickly she opened up his shirt and to her
suprise had to gasp at the wound..It was bad..the
hole was ragged and large and of corse there
was all that blood..The bullet most likely Shattered a
rib and was now loddged in Pendrells lung..and the
odds of survival for a gunshot like this was*NO*
she wasnt going
to give up so easyly. Scully turned he attention back
to Pendrells face when the Bar
partions started yelling "Hes Getting away" Scaning
Accross the room she saw that
the would be assasin was gone..She looked down at
Pendrell..I should stay with him she thought *but*
"Ill be right back" she assured him as she jumped up
and ran towards the door..Scully fallowed the trail
of blood out to the street, gun drawn. Outisde she
looked in all directions but saw nothing..Not the
Assilant,not a getaway car, not a dam
thing..that is nothing till she saw the Police cars
Wailing the sirens screching around the
courner..With her free hand Scully fumbled for her
ID and had it ready when the
DC Police car pulled along side of her.she held her
FBI ID out for the Police officer in the
Passange seat to see and then leaned down into the
opened window. This might have seemed a bit Smug
on her part, but there wanst time for politeness now.
"We neeed an 
EMT in here Now!" was all she said. She turned tail
not even seeing the Officer as he 
picked up his radio to call for the Ambulance. She
hurried back in side where a crowd had gathered
around where Pendrell had fallen.with some help
from the bartender
and alittle pushing of her own she made it back to
Pendrells side..He was layed in the
same position she had left driffiting on the verge
between Concious and Un-
Conciousness. Scully grabed a few linnen napkins
from a table a knelt back down beside Pendrell and
Aplyed Pressure to the wound. she saw him wince
with pain as
she pressed the Napkins to his chest...gentley she
told her self..she looked back down 
at Pendrell "Theres an Ambulance on the way, your
going to the Hospital"
"Great!" Pendrell Choked out cutting Scully off his
speach was ragged but his
tone was strange "Ive always wanted to die in a
hospital" he looked away Scully put
her other hand on his Shoulder to assure him "No,
Pendrell your not dying...I"
Scully pause shortly to think of proper words of
incoragement..Then she heard Penrells
icy almost whisper "Like you care" He was looking
passed he at the Celing to his
left eyes half closed..His voice was Cold and almost
calm..but his eyes where filled
with a mixture of Pain..Saddness and Fear..Scully
felt no anger at him for what he said
she relised what it had ment thou..He was giving
up..an Acceptance of defeet..But Scully wasnt
giving up and she wasnt about to let Pendrell give
up so easyly..Scully
sat on the floor and gently pulled Pendrells head into
her lap..Keeping one hand on the 
Napkins over the Bullet wound she placed her other
hand on his forhead.."I care" she 
said in hushed tones to him "Please believe me...Id
never do anything to hurt you"
Pendrell opened his eyes halfway and managed his
best to meet hers now his eyes where filled with pain
"Really?" He asked. And in that moment things
became clear to
Scully she was wrong...She had hurt him..and not
just tonight when she left him alone
she had only been gone a few secounds but what
was that to Pendrell? lying on the
floor relizing your most likely dying..Everyone
staring at you like you just fell from the 
sky or somthing. But it wasnt that Scully saw
somthing deep in his eyes..Lonlyness
how manny times had he reached out to her only to
find no one there? and it wasnt like
he had some diranged agend with her..or exspected
her to fall in his arms and ride off
Happly ever after..No..it was all so clear in his
eyes..All he had wanted was her
friendship..really...but it wasnt really there for
him..and it had *hurt* him unintentional
as it may be it hurt all the same..Scully brushed her
hands through his, He turned closing his eyes at her
touch and very softly almost not speaking he choked
"Im Scared"  Scully felt a lump in her throat but
mannaged to speak"Im sorry...I know we things may
be hard right now..." she scanned her Memmory for
words of comfort " and Im not sure if my being her
helps, But Im here now" The words Scully spoke
seemed hauntingly familiar to her but for the life of
her she couldnt remember where she had heard
them. After what had seemed like an hour the
Paramedics arived. She stood and informed them of
Pendrells condtion, when the one EMT bent down
to examine him he
came accross Pendrells Shoulder holster and
Weapon and gave Scully a questioning look. She
bent back down and Unholsterded Penrells
gun..."he's and FBI agent"
she said as she pulled the gun free...then looking at
the EMT..."And he's *not* gonna
die"..Then she stood back up leting the Paramedics
resume there work.. Not before noticing a warm
sensation under her nose..She wiped her finngers
under her nose knowing it was blood before she
even looked  at them. Dam it why did this have to
happen now? Grabbing  another napkin she wipped
the blood away and tryed to keep it from her
mind..She turn her attention back to Captin Frish
while keeping a silent observation as the parimedics
work on Pendrell. She questioned him about his call
to his girlfriend and where he told her where he
was..He assured her he didnt...wich ment....The
EMTS had Pendrell ready to move...She walked
over to the strecher, she really should go with them
she thought if for nothing but for Pendrells sake..But
there was too much here for her to do So she
Quickly took Pendrells hand and lean over him 
"I *Will* right there, OKay?"  Pendrell was so weak
he couldnt even grasp at her hand..His eyes where
only opened the slightest amount.."thank you agent
Scully" his voice sounding so weak..yet without
fear..She watched him being wheeled out..Just
before AD Skinner walked in...
The End?

Well no its not..but you know what happend after
that...I have an Idea to continue
the story at the point between Where Skinner leaves
Scully at the bar and before
she picks up Mulder...Please send me
feedback..Even if you think it sucks..
tell me why it sucks? Im a giving just Pendrell to
much credit here? you tell me
I know the story got alittle sucky at the end..Next
time (If there is a next time)
Im gonna try somthing Orginal..as far as the playing
off another story..okay later
