Summary:  The truth is something Mulder & Scully may have 
to pay a steep price for.

Author's Notes: 

Ever since I watched IWTB I have thought of the ideal way to 
start and storyline a third movie.  So, after much thought 
and deliberation I have a series of scenes that I have 
written for the third XF movie.  The scenes will not 
necessarily run right after each other but they are in 
sequence.  They are more like scenes I would like to see 
in the XF3 that develop character, tie loose ends, and add 
plot interest.  

I do not own the characters and I don't make any money from 
this.

Enjoy!

Fox Mulder and Dana Scully walked briskly toward the warehouse 
in front of them.  The ambulances were safely housed inside as 
were the kids that they had worked so hard to free.  

"I hope they all made it" he said under his breath.

"Mulder?" she turned to look at him.

"The kids" he clarified "the kids."

She nodded her head and marched forward.  They had contacted 
John Doggett and had heard about his phone call with Franz.  
They had also realized he was the 'distraction' that had allowed 
them to escape from the facility with no problems.  

"Do you think he...?"  Scully asked him as they approached the 
door.

"Yeah" Mulder said, sure of himself.  "After that conversation, 
I'm sure I can see exactly what he did."

"Mulder" she sighed, unhappy that Franz had met his death "he 
sacrificed everything."

"He needed to" Mulder said looking into the dark recesses of 
his mind "if that was me, I would have done the same."

She stopped in her tracks and looked at him angrily.  "Not if 
you had a son, you wouldn't have."

"No, Scully...I'm not saying that" he paused with hands on his 
hips "I'm saying that if I was Franz, in his circumstance, I 
would have made the same choice."

She eyed him for a moment, trying to search for some hidden 
meaning that he was trying to keep from her.

"But I'm not him" Mulder clarified as he walked up to her and 
placed both his hands on either side of her face.

He kissed her squarely on the lips and she melted somewhat under 
his passion.  When he released her he looked softly into her 
eyes.

"I have you and William, and nothing will take me from the two 
of you again." He said truthfully.

She smiled a tight-lipped smile up at him and he brushed a 
wary strand of brown hair from her face.  

"Let's see how everyone is" she said as she took a step away 
from him.

They opened the large warehouse door and were greeted by four 
machines going off in unison beeping loudly.  They saw Adria 
scrambling from one child to the next administering sedatives 
while Doggett followed her from patient to patient.  Mallory 
was following orders Adria was barking out, by raising the 
patient's feet and cooling their heads with cloths.

"What's going on?" Scully yelled as she walked towards Adria.

"I don't know...their electromagnetic levels have been 
skyrocketing for the last" she glanced at her watch "1 minute 
20 seconds."

"How do you lower them?" Mulder asked as he walked toward the 
young girl.

"You sedate them." Scully said as she grabbed a syringe.

She administered a sedative to two patients while Adria managed 
to sedate the other two.  The beeping gradually slowed over the 
next two minutes until it was at a steady rhythm.  

"What the hell was all that?" John Doggett asked as he wiped 
sweat from his head.

Scully and Adria exchanged knowing glances. 

 "It's a sign we need to call in help." Scully said as she threw 
down a used syringe. "They will keep doing that until one of 
them, or all of them die, unless we get them to a proper 
facility."

"But Scully, we can't..." Mulder started.

"I know someone we can call." Mallory Suharta said quietly in 
the corner.

"My uncle" Mallory said as she walked toward them "he's Supreme 
Court Justice Rasheed Suharta and the most honest and honorable 
man I know.  He'll help us."

John Doggett, Dana Scully and Fox Mulder all exchanged glances.

"Make the call" Doggett said as he walked to grab his cell phone 
for her.
