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!

***********************************

Mallory Suharta listened as Franz ripped into the two agents sent 
to watch Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.  They were not found in their 
room and there was no sign of them anywhere.  The team was not 
sure how long they had been missing.  She and Franz had been 
unaware of this development the entire flight to Chicago.  It was 
the agent who met them at the gate that informed them things had 
gone sour.  The last visual anyone had on them was a stumbling 
pair going to their room just after the clock rolled past 
midnight.  

She took in their room.  It looked like that of two people away 
for a weekend, except for the fact that there were no toiletries.  
They had missed their flights and his tour manager Jeremy Fenwick 
had also not seen either of them since last night.  He had left 
them alone for the day and was surprised to not find them when 
he went to collect Mulder for their flight.  He was even more 
surprised when he was cornered and questioned by the FBI.

It was too coincidental that they were missing and Patrick was on 
the run.  He must have got to them, but it was obvious from the 
shape of the room he had not harmed them here.  They were two 
trained FBI agents so they could not be over-powered by an 8 year 
old boy.  Mallory was just considering the possibility that 
Patrick lured then away when Franz interrupted her thoughts.

"Not one fucking thing to go on" he shook his head "except that 
she rented a Jeep yesterday with her credit card."

"Have you..." she started.

"Already done" he interrupted "if they are on a highway in the next 
3 states patrol will know."

"Good" she said fingering a glass of water left at the side of 
the bed.

"Do you think he lured them?" she asked as she starred into the 
liquid.

"I think he wants to get his anger out and they are great targets" 
Franz admitted "I also think that the draw of their long lost son 
would get them to do pretty much anything."

"I guess you still love them, even if you give them up" she said 
distantly.

"If he's got them to meet him somewhere...he's a lot smarter than 
my profile give him credit for...and maybe a lot more dangerous."

"We need to find them" Mallory said definitively.

"Preferably before he does" Franz said as he walked from the room 
"we've wasted enough time here."

Mallory looked around the hotel room and thought that Patrick may 
just kill off all his parents in just a few short days.  She 
wondered  where that would leave the boy.  Franz's profile said 
he had probably engaged in self-mutilation.  She wondered after 
committing these horrifying acts they would find one last body.
