Keywords: Mulder/Scully romance, Post-IWTB
Spoilers: IWTB
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!

Franz Lutman stood in front of the security clearance at the 
Jackson Hole Airport.  He had tried to steam his suit while he 
showered but it had come out of the washroom looking almost just 
as rumpled.  He watched Mallory as she applied lipstick using her 
compact and wondered if she felt as disheveled as he did.  She 
certainly looked neater.  They wouldn't get into Chicago until 
almost 8pm and Franz wanted Dana Scully and Fox Mulder there 
when he arrived.

"All boarding Delta Flight 470 to Chicago at Gate 14" the 
overhead voice rang out.

He realized that the call needed to be placed now or he'd be in 
an argument with a flight attendant in 10 minutes.  He pulled 
out his cell phone and dialed.

"This is Lutman" he said tersely "go in and get them. There's 
been a delay and we won't be there until 8pm.  Tell them about 
Patrick and sit on them until we get there"

He nodded as he listened to the other person in Chicago.

"Listen, he escaped from a military prison and she helped.  
Cuff them if you need to, and don't take your eyes off them."

He clamped his phone shut and turned it off.

"Ready?" he said to Mallory who stood in front of him.

"At least we can sleep more on the plane.  Was that Hanson?"

"No, the guys keeping an eye on Dana Scully and Fox Mulder.  
Their romantic escape will be coming to an end any minute."

"Well," she said shutting off her phone as well "I just got a 
text from Hanson a few minutes ago, no signs of the kid yet 
in Virginia."

"He's going to them, I know it" Franz mumbled.

"Well, he thinks he is, at least" she smiled back "he'll be in 
for a rude awakening in Virginia"

"Come on" Franz said lifting her bag "let's settle in.  This is 
going to be a long flight."
