Edgar Hoover Building Washington D.C., 4:30 p.m Friday Scully tell's her story... Somehow, it still doesn't cease to amaze me that although Mulder and I have been partners for 6, count em, 6 years, we still have no clue how to communicate with each other on a personal level. In case you're thinking what I think you're thinking...we are not involved romantically. We are best friends and work partners. I'm not complaining if that's what you're thinking, I mean, I love having Mulder as a friend. He's the best friend I've ever had, and the title "best friend" just doesn't do it justice. He's everything to me, even though I would rather be caught dead than saying that to him, but it's true. The fact is, I love Mulder. I'm in love with Mulder. I know that most people would just tell the person they are in love with how they feel..but this is more complicated. Like I said before me and Mulder aren't the best at expressing our feelings for each other openly. So here I am, sitting here in our office at 4:30...30 minutes to go before I can leave..and there is so much sexual tension in the room you could cut in with a knife. It's been like this a lot..and I'm starting to get irritated. I mean if Mulder has something on his mind why can't he just tell me! Ok, so I'm being a little bit hypocritical here, but the thing I have on my mind is a much more dangerous subject than what he evidently has on his mind. Ok, now how much longer to go, 4:32! Ugh, I think I'm going to be sick, no wait, I have to pee. "Mulder?" "Hmm, Scully?" God, could you at least look at me when I talk to you? "I'll be right back I have to use the restroom." "Uh huh." Well that was fun, that was about the most interesting conversation we've had all day, pathetic huh? Damnit! The bathroom downstairs is out of order, perfect. Now I have to go all the way upstairs just to take a leak, well isn't this the cherry on top of my day. Finally! I'm finally safe inside a stall in a bathroom on the third floor. I really hate coming upstairs, I always get these looks like "what are you doing up here among the living?" and it just irritates me. I leave the restroom after relieving myself and I hear Mulder's name. I KNOW that voice, evil is incorporated in that voice, Diana. She is talking to someone who's voice I can't recognize, but I can tell she's young, and most likely a secretary. I put my ear up against the door and strain to listen. "You've slept with him? " "Oh Yes! Many times! I can't even count anymore." "Wow. Well, he is definitely a popular subject in the secretarial pool." I knew it, secretary. "Well he's taken, so you can tell them they might as well give up." What? Oh my god, not Diana, please. "Really? By who? Oh wait, let me guess, Ice Queen? " "Unfortunately yes. I don't know what he sees in her, I am much more of a woman than she will ever be. I mean, the woman can't even have children! Poor Fox. The thing is, he hasn't even gotten her in the sack yet! " WHAT! Oh, she's gunna get hers. I can feel the tears beginning to form in the back of my throat, but I contain myself from bursting in the room and beating the shit out of Diana. "WHAT! They haven't even slept together? " "Nope, and she doesn't even know how he feels. I only know because of the surveillance we have rigged in his apartment. It really is sad how he depends on the woman so much, he even calls out for her in his sleep." Mulder does that? I need to start paying more attention. "Well, it's too bad he's taken. I could have shown him a real good time." "I know, Same here. Maybe one day he'll wake up and realize that Queen Scully isn't as perfect as he thinks and then he'll come back to me." Over my dead body. "Well, the way he looks at her, I think that's doubtful. Oh my! It's 4:50! My break was up 5 minutes ago! I'd better get back. It was nice talking to you Diana!" The *way* he looks at me? I come out of my reverie realizing I have been standing here listening to their conversation for over 10 minutes! As I hear Mrs. Peppy coming towards the door I panic and make a beeline for the elevator. Well, I'm home free..hopefully. I made it to the elevator and shoved my way inside. Thankfully Diana's little friend went the opposite way. But I wonder where Diana went to. OH MY GOD! She's heading for the elevator! Please oh please let her turn, Nope. Just my luck, I'm standing here in a cramped elevator, two feet away from the woman I was just spying on! And on top of all of this, I forgot to push the button for the basement, and NO ONE ever goes down there. I glance at the elevator buttons, and to my surprise the button for the basement is lit up. Who would have pressed the, DIANA. *DING* Great, well this is MY stop. I swear, if she came down here to show Mulder some of her gaping cleavage,I am going to have to shoot her. As I'm pushing through the people Diana is already striding towards OUR office. Swaying her hips a little more than necessary. God I really hate her. Ok, finally out of the cramped as hell elevator, I practically jog to our office. I walk in to see Diana standing practically on top of Mulder next to the filing cabinet saying some bullshit about needing a file. Here we go. "Scully! Where have you been? You left like 15 minutes ago!" Maybe it's just my wishful thinking, but he seemed a little relieved to see me. "I got a cup of coffee after I went to the bathroom. Sorry to keep you waiting Mulder." So far so good. "Oh. Ok then. Well Diana came down to get a file she needs for the latest case she's working on. She just got here." Is he trying to defend himself? "Ok Mulder, then let's get back to work." Then, Diana joined in the conversation, obviously displeased in the way the attention was not focused directly on her. I just wanted to slap the bitch, really I did. "Actually Fox, I also came down here to ask you if you had any plans tonight. You see, This case is a really tough one, and I need some help going over the crime scene photos at my apartment. I just can't seem to see a connection, but I know your brilliant mind would be able to figure it out." I think I'm going to be sick. While saying all of this her hand had taken up residence on his thigh, how convenient. And the whole time she had this "come fuck me" look planted on her face. GOD, does the woman think I'm stupid? Wants him to come review crime scene photos at her apartment my ass. "Well I didn't have anything planned. How long would it take? Scully, we didn't have anything planned for tonight did we? " I can't believe he's even considering this! What an ass. Ugh, I guess I have to answer they're both looking at me expectantly. "No Mulder we didn't." "Okay great then it's settled! Fox, I'll expect you around 7 sharp. Don't eat before you come, I'll fix a little something for us to nibble on while we go over things." Nibble on! While we go over "THINGS"? what the hell! With that Diana gave me a huge victorious grin, then turned on her heel and walked out. What did I eat today? Because I think it's about to be spewed all over our office. As soon as the door closed, my mouth opened . "What was that about Mulder? " I shot him the eyebrow for effect. "What! You said it was okay! I'm only going to be over there for an hour or so? " Breathe Dana, breathe. "It is no interest of mine how long you will be there. You don't need my approval to do things." "Okaay, sooo what's the problem Scully? " Soo many things Mulder. "Nothing Mulder, Just forget I said anything. I'm going to head on out." "Okay Scully. Any plans for tonight? " Like he'd care. "Maybe, I'm not sure yet." "Oh, okay. Well I'll talk to you later then." Did he sound rejected or was it just me? "'Kay. Bye Mulder." With that, I grabbed my briefcase, put on my coat, and left the office to go home and plan my night. xXxXxPart 2/4xXxXx Dana Scully's Apartment Georgetown, 5:32 p.m Friday Finally. I'm finally home. Now I just have to figure out what the hell I'm going to do tonight. Now, you'd think a relatively attractive person would be able to find SOMETHING to do on a Friday night, but normally I would be sitting at Mulder's eating a pizza and watching some movie on Sci-fi. Or somewhere in Vermont following up on a call from someone who claims to know the secrets of the world. So, I'm not use to having to find something to do where Mulder isn't right there with me. Ugh. I swear, I think in some ways I'm more married to Mulder than most married couples are to each other. And the sad thing is, I love it. I have been going over what Diana and the secretary talked about over and over, and I really wish that all of that were true, but in my heart I never see me and Mulder together as anything more than partners. I mean, I'm not his type, we argue all the time, and he doesn't LOVE me. If Mulder loved me he would just come out and say it, right? Oh hell, I don't know anymore. I just need to go somewhere, a bar?? Yeah, a bar..maybe that new one over on 2nd and 3rd , what's it called, umm, oh! Inferno. Yeah, and maybe I'll even have a decent conversation with a guy or two. Well it's settled, now I just have to find something to wear. I am soo glad I let mom convince me to buy this dress, it's perfect! When we bought it she said. "This would be perfect if you and Fox ever went out on dinner!" Pathetic huh? Even my own mother is trying to hook me up with Mulder. The dress is gorgeous, which after much debate on my part, is the main reason I bought it. It fits me perfectly, it hugs every one of my curves. The dress is all black, has a v-cut halter neck line which gives quite a good vew of my cleavage, and it has a layered cut at the bottom with a slit going up my right leg about mid thigh. It's also glittery, and very eye-catching, which is definitely a plus. I just wish Mulder would be the one to see me in it. Oh well, he's with miss "hey look at my chest" right now, and probably having a blast. Ok, back to My outfit. After I found the dress buried deep in the closet I also unveiled some really expensive high heels I purchased with the dress. They are black with a 4 inch long slender heel, and three straps that go across the top of my feet. The whole shoe is made of satin. I topped all this off with some beige thigh highs and a very fancy victorias secret set. I do have to admit I did a good job with my hair. There isn't a whole lot to work with, so I parted it to the side, and then curled it letting the loose curls fall to frame my face. My makeup is subtle with a bronzy rose colored lipstick to top it off. Now I'm ready to go and show myself a good time, I hope. So I grab my purse, which is holding my makeup, id, cell phone, and weapon (just in case. ), and my keys and coat, and head out. Xx Inferno Bar xX Georgetown, 2nd and 3rd 6:30 p.m As I pull up to the bar, I like what I see. It's a relatively small bar, but is packed with people. I park my car near the front, just in case I decide to bolt later on, and head inside. The place is dimly lit with a large dance floor and a long bar. I set myself at the bar and order a screwdriver from the bartender. I look around and see quite a few specimens that catch my eye, but none of them would compare to Mulder. God! Why do I do this? Ugh, focus Dana. Good, your drinks here, now settle down and look around! I mean I'm here to have fun right? Ok, I see a definite looker on the dance floor, but change my mind when I see him start to have a tongue duel with the slut in front of him. The guy at the end of the bar is okay, Kind of short, but he has nice hair. To shaggy though. "Hi there." I jump and turn to see a man sitting right next to me. I didn't see him at all, I wonder how long he's been sitting there. "Hi." He's not my type at all. He's older, I'd say late 40's, with gray hair and green eyes. "So what's a pretty thing like you doin here all by yourself? " Oh god. "I'm just here to unwind." Good, don't start a conversation with him. "Oh, well can I buy you another drink? " I didn't even realize I'd finished the one I had. How am I going to say no, think, think. "Actually, I think I should probably get going, it's late and I have a lot of work to do. " Well I didn't want the evening to end this soon, but I'd rather be at home alone than with this guy. "Oh, well, why don't I walk you to your car? " "Uh, no thanks, I'll be fine. I only had one drink, and I can handle myself." I get off my barstool and give him an apologetic smile before I head towards the door. Well at least that's over with. God I hate guys like that, just don't know how to take no for an answer. I finally get to my car, get in and start it. Time to go home and be alone for the rest of the night. Oh well, maybe I'll take a hot bath and relax. Xx Dana Scully's Apartment xX 7:02 p.m I pull up at my apartment and head upstairs feeling a little tipsy form my drink. I don't drink very often, due to lack of time, and cause. As I'm walking up the stairs I hear someone behind me. I figure it's probably one of my neighbors, so I turn around to greet them. As I turn around, I'm shocked to be looking straight into the deep green eyes of the guy from the bar. "Did you follow me here? What do you think you're doing! " He'd better have a good explanation before I pull my gun out and shoot him. "I Just, well.." Then in one swift movement, he grabs my hair and put me in a choke hold, and it's at that moment I take in the cold piece of metal I feel at the base of my neck. "Listen Bitch, and you listen good, I will slit this pretty little throat of yours if you don't do what I say you hear! " Oh, my god, okay be calm. "Yes, I understand. " "Alright, good. Now which one's yours." I point out my apartment, right in front of us. I definitely don't want to be alone with him, but right now I have no choice. "Good. Where's your keys?" I point to my purse which fell on the floor during his attack. He leans down, and pulls me with him as he grabs my purse. He unzips the front zipper with his free hand, and pulls out with my keys. Thank god he didn't look in the main part, that's where my gun is. "Ah good. " He drags me with him to my door and unlocks it. As he opens the door he shoves me inside and I hit the wood floor with a thud. "Nice place. What are you an interior decorator?? Hmm, Let's see. " He pulls out my id and gun. "Dana Scully. FBI eh? Do you carry your gun around to make yourself feel secure? Protected? " I didn't answer, thinking it was a rhetorical question, and he grabs me by my dress. "I asked you a question bitch, and I want an answer!" His eyes are so sad, so angry. "Yes, I carry it around for protection." Keep your cool Dana. "Your just a helpless little bitch, that's why you carry it around! You wouldn't even give me the time of day at that bar! You treated me like I was just a fly on your shoulder! A worthless piece of shit not worth your time! Well I'm gunna show you that your not as tough as you think. Your just a piece of ass." Tears whell up in my eyes as I think about what is coming. If I can just get to my phone, I could call Mulder. "I'm sorry, I wasn't meaning to be rude. I just, really needed to get home and get some work done. Let me get you a drink. umm, I don't even know your name. I should call you something. " "Yeah well maybe that's because you didn't bother to stay long enough and ask it now did you? You can call me Butch. Now go get me some scotch." He walked the short distance to the couch, knife and gun in hand, and plopped down like he lived here. "Alright Butch. I'll be right back." As I headed for the kitchen I grabbed my cell phone out of my purse on the floor, being careful Butch wasn't watching. I walked into my kitchen and breathed a sigh of relief that I made it, cell phone in hand. I reached for the brandy as I pressed one on my speed dial. "Mulder." "Mulder It's me! You have to come quick! This guy, at the bar, he, at my apartment. trying to. " "Whoa Scully slow down! What's going on? " "What's taking you so long! What the fuck do you think you're doing! Give me that now you sorry little bitch! " I turn to see Butch coming at me, he grabs my arm and the cell phone lands on the ground still on.. "MULDER! HELP!! " I scream, before Butch slams his foot down on the cell phone, shattering it. "Damnit! Why the fuck can't women listen! That's it! " He grabs me by my hair and drags me into my living room, shoving me onto the couch. "I'm gunna show you what happens when you don't do what I say! " He began to undo his belt, and I feared the worst. then instead of undoing his jeans, he held the belt in his hand snapping it. "Now, you lay still, and I'm gunna show you how a man puts a woman in her place." "Please Butch, don't do this, I wasn't meaning to upset you, I was just scared." "You bet you're scared, who was that on the phone? You're "boyfriend"? Well, he can't help you now. you just wait till I get done with you, then you'll be on your knees begging me to stop." Think Dana, don't make him go off again. "What exactly are you planning to get out of this Mr. Butch?" "I'm planing to show women like YOU, that I have the upper hand, and you're not as strong as you think you are MISS. Scully. Big FBI agent, thinks she can protect herself, and just blow off men with a wave of her hand, well that's all about to change. " He grabs the hem of my dress and yanks it up. Then raises the belt and brings it down with a crack on my back. I stifle a cry, and just pray that Mulder is on his way. xXxXxPart 3/4xXxXx Diana Fowley's apartment Washington D.C., 7:00 p.m Mulder tell's his story... Well, I'm sitting here in Diana's apartment, trying not to fall asleep while she attempts to find some thing relevant to the case to talk about. I really wish I were with Scully right now. sitting on her couch watching an old movie, her head resting on my shoulder as she slowly drifts off. But no, I'm here with Diana because Scully didn't say I had something to do tonight! Ugh, now I have to stay here while Diana babbles about something or another. Suddenly I feel a hand on my thigh, a little too high for comfort if you ask me. "Fox? Have you been listening to a word I've said? " I shift a bit and move slightly over to get her to remove her hand. "Uh, yeah. I just don't understand what all this has to do with me? " "Well if you would have been listening you would have heard me say that all of the bodies found, were found with marks on their body that have yet to be identified." I look at a picture of one of the corpses and look closely at the marks she is referring to. Just as I suspected. "Diana, this has nothing to do with the paranormal and you know it. This is just an astrology sign. in fact, they all are. every one is a different sign. The killer was just marking them by their astrology sign. There is probably a pattern of some sort, he picked them purposely because of their sign. This has NOTHING to do with the X-files Diana and you know it." "Wow! I had no clue! Your so smart Fox, I would have never seen that! I'm soo glad I asked you over." Oh lord. She's got her hand on my thigh again and now she's rubbing it. god, she disgusts me. She's coming closer to my face, ohh god. How to get out of this. *Ring!* What the? oh, my ass is ringing. Scully? Thank god. I'm saved. "I have to take this." "Mulder." "Mulder It's me! You have to come quick! This guy, at the bar, he, at my apartment, trying to." What is she talking about? "Whoa Scully slow down! What's going on?" Then I hear someone in the background, and I want to put a bullet through whoever it is who would dare talk to my scully like that. "What's taking you so long! What the fuck do you think you're doing! Give me that now you sorry little bitch!" Then I hear a struggle, and a crash. I think the phone just fell. Then I hear something that makes me jump of the couch in a heartbeat. "MULDER!! HELP!!" I practically leap off of Diana's couch grabbing my coat, and immediately heading for the door. "Fox? Where are you going? Every time that bitch calls you drop everything your doing to go and tend to her every need. I am soo much more of a woman than she will ever be Fox. Why can't you see that?" Wrong thing to say Diana, and if Scully weren't in trouble at the moment I'd be using you for target practice. "Your wrong in soo many ways Diana. Please don't attempt to contact me ever again. Right now I have to go, the only person I care about is in trouble, and I'm not going to waste more time on you." With that I walk out of her apartment, for the last time. Now I have to get to Scully, and fast. I swear, if he does anything to her. Calm donw mulder, just drive. Xx Dana Scully's Apartment xX Georgetown, 7:16 p.m I pull up at Scully's apartment and practically sprint inside. As I get to her door I hear a muffled sob. I quickly insert my key to her apartment in the door. As I walk in, what I see enrages me. Scully is laying on her stomach with her dress pulled up, and I can see welts forming on the delicate skin of her back. A guy in his late 40's is straddling her hips with his pants unzipped, while he's attempting to get her underwear off. He's holding a knife at her throat and holding her still by her hair. I can see her gun on the coffee table. "Get the fuck off of her you sick bastard!" I get to the couch in no time and before I know it, I grab him by his collar and shove him against the nearest wall, taking his own knife from the floor and pressing it against his neck. "I'm going to fucking kill you! Then we will see what a big man you are!" "Who the fuck are you? OH! You're the boyfriend she called earlier! Well, I'll tell you one thing Mr., you've got a nice piece of ass if I say so myself. A good fuck." That was the last straw. I picked him up and threw him all the way across the room where he hit the wall and cried out in pain. I grabbed him again and hauled him against the wall once again. "I would like nothing more than to kill you right here, but I think it would give me much more pleasure to see you go to jail for the rest of your life, and be some guy named Harry's bitch!" With that, I threw him to the floor again, cuffed him, and kicked him once in the ribs, hearing them crack. Then hit him hard over the head with my gun to knock him out. I pulled my cell out and dialed 911 and explained the situation. I turn to see Scully sitting at a corner of her couch hugging her knees to her, and staring at the unconscious body on the floor. I walk over and sit next to her on the couch. Waiting for her to say something, but not wanting to rush her. I just hope she's not in shock. She turns and practically leaps into my lap. Okay, that's the last thing I would have thought was going to happen. I quickly wrap my arms around her, and hear her whimper. I forgot about her back. "I'm sorry, I forgot about that. Are you okay? I mean, he didn't, he didn't, did he??" Smooth mulder. "No Mulder, he didn't. thanks to you." She snuggles further into my chest. "Yeah, but what happened to your back? If I wouldn't have gone to Diana's tonight to help her with that bullshit case, this would have never happened." "Don't blame yourself Mulder. Just because some psycho approaches me and follows me home. It could have happened to anyone!" "But it shouldn't have happened to you Scully. I should have been here." "Mulder, you can't watch after me 24/7. You have a life, and things to do." "Scully, you are my life. If I didn't have you I wouldn't be here at all!" She looks up at me and I can see tears in her big baby blues. She gives me one of her half smiles and looks at me with such love I think my heart stops. "Mulder, You really mean that??" Here we go. "Yes Scully, how could you not know? Your everything I live for. I love you with my heart and soul and so much more. I'm IN love with you. I would do anything for you. But more importantly you're my best friend, I can talk to you about anything. I trust you with my life. You are the only thing that matters to me." Whew. well, that was tough, but I finally got it all out. She's looking up at me wide eyed mouth open, and just when I think she's going to go and throw me out, and tell me to never come back, she surprises me once again. She smiles the biggest smile I've ever seen. "I'm really glad Mulder, because I feel the exact same. You are my world, everything I think about. I love you with everything I am, I'm in love with you. I've loved you for so long. " I bring my hand up and wipe the tears from her face, and she does the same. I hadn't even realized I was crying. There's a knock at the door, and we break apart so I can answer it. The cops come in and take "Butch" away. They ask to take a statement from Scully but I tell them that she will do it in the morning after things cool down. They agree, and walk out the door carrying "Butch" on a stretcher. "Well, I'm glad that's over with." She says to me with much relief. "Yeah me too Scully, me too." "How's your back? " "It hurts but I think it will be okay after some ointment." I stand up and Scully shoots me a questioning glance as I head to the bathroom to fetch her first aid kit she always keeps there. I return to the couch first aid kit in hand. "Lay on your stomach scully, I'm going to put that ointment on there, and some bandages." "Mulder, you don't have to. " "I know Scully, I want too." She looks at me questioningly and then rolls over and pulls up her dress wincing, to reveal about 10 large welts. "Geez Scully, What did he use? " "A belt. He said he was teaching me a lesson." "Damnit, I wish I would have killed the bastard. No one has the right to do this to you." "Mulder, you handled the situation perfectly, I mean, I'm sure kicking him in the ribs and slamming him up against various walls was a little much. But it felt good to see him in pain, I know how bad that sounds. " I scoot up so I'm face to face with her, not even 2 inches between us,and cup her face with my hands. "Scully, I personally enjoyed beating the shit out of him, so it's not at wrong for you to enjoy it, after what he did to you. I will never let anyone hurt you like that again. If they try, Their head will be on my wall." She smiled and I smiled back. Then I looked at her lips and decided to go for it. I kissed her ever so softly squarely on her lips and pulled back to look at her face.She smiled so big my heart almost beat out of my chest. "Thanks Mulder. I love you." Wow, I'm a happy man. "I love you too Scully, now let's get your back all cleaned up and we can put you to bed, you have to be exhausted." "Okay." I Gently apply the neospourine onto her cuts. Then put gauze on each one. When I'm done I place a light kiss on her lower back and pull her dress down. Then as she stands up I notice for the first time how beautiful she looks. The dress fits her perfectly, hugging every curve. And it makes her eyes look more blue than ever. And her hair looks so soft, dancing In curls around her face. "You look beautiful Scully." "Thank you Mulder." I grab her hand and lead her towards the bedroom. "Do you want to take a shower Scully? " "No, I'll take one in the morning, right now I just want to lay down and get some rest." "Alright, I'll go in the living room to let you get ready for bed, then call me when your done and I'll bring you some water." "Okay, thanks Mulder." "Don't mention it scully. Remember, I'm always here for you." "I know Mulder." We smiled at each other and I left the room. I went to the living room and tidied things up a bit, then she called me, and I went to the kitchen to get her water, and returned to the bedroom. She was lying in bed with her purple silk pajamas on. Her face free of makeup. "Here you go Scully." "Thanks Mulder." "Do you need anything else??" "Yeah, will you, will you stay here??" "I wasn't planning on leaving Scully, I'll be on the couch if you need anything else." "No Mulder I mean, would you stay here,with me? I need you." I smiled. Scully needed me. I'm the luckiest guy in the world. "Yeah Scully, of course." I walk around to the other side of the bed and she turns to watch me. I shed my shirt and pants and Climb in with her. She snuggles into my chest and sighs. "Mulder?" "Yeah scully?" "What did you and Diana do tonight? " "She tried to convince me that the case she was working on was an X-file, but I proved her wrong. She tried to come onto me, but all I could think about was you, and our semi-fight." "So, there's nothing going on between you and her? " "What! You thought I went to Diana's because I wanted to? No, I really was hoping that when she asked if I had anything to do you were going to jump in and say we had plans or something. but, you didn't" "Really? Well I'll keep that in mind."
