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!

"Now, what the fuck is going on?" Franz asked turning toward 
Mallory.

"I can't...I can't" Mallory said as she ran her hand through 
her hair.

"Franz, take these cuffs off me" Robert Hanson protested as 
he tried to push himself off the bed.

"You stay right there" Franz said as he anchored him down with 
a shove to the small of his back.

"Franz..." she said looking at him and still unable to speak

"Are you okay?" he said grasping her by both elbows and 
lowering his voice.

"I'm fine, but...but there's so much more to this than we know." 

"To what?"

"This case...Robert just told me he was sent to kidnap Patrick."

Franz froze.  Robert had made Mallory aware of the plan.  How 
much he had said about Franz's involvement was unknown.  He 
recovered quickly, "What?"

Malloy's eyebrows knitted for a second.  Something was off.  
"Franz?"

"What the hell's going on?"

"I don't know" she said looking at him closely "You tell me."

"What are you talking about?" he asked.

"You know about this.  Maybe not all of it, but some of it.  
Don't you?" she asked approaching him.

"Mallory, I don't..." he stammered.

"Just tell her" Robert barked from the bed "and get these 
fucking cuffs off me."

"Franz?!" she snapped at him and took a step back.

"Let me explain" he said walking toward her as she retreated 
from him.

"Get the fuck away from me" she yelled as she swung a gun at 
him.

"Mallory..." he pleaded walking closer "it's not what you think."

"Oh, isn't it?" she said cocking the safety "what I know for 
sure, is that there are two FBI agents in the room with me who 
have conspired to break the law."

"Mallory, please..." he said taking one step forward.

"Don't make me shoot you, Franz." She said steadily from the 
other side of her gun.
