The Truth is Out There--Scene 52 from XF3 by Lolabeegood E-mail: lolabeegood@gmail.com Distribution: Archive freely with my name attached. Rating: R Categories: S, R 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! ********************************** "Take a look at that" John said over her shoulder as he pointed at the screen. "But that would mean that everything the FBI was basing their search for Patrick on was false information." Scully said turning to look at him. "It means a hell of a lot more then that Dana" John said leaning in and looking her squarely in the eye, "it means that not only was the murder of his parents a foregone conclusion but that the FBI, in some capacity, was in on it from the start...with this Agent Lutman leading the way." "So he's hunting my son" she said with a waver to her voice. "I think he's hunting Patrick, you, and Mulder, judging from the information the FBI already has in these files. The one thing we don't know, is if they've found out that we know about them." "So all these psych visits and reports..." "Falsified to make Patrick look like a loose canon capable of killing his parents," Doggett said as he rubbed his chin. "So bringing him into a facility for testing would happen without any red flags being raised about his case." "And this Agent Lutman would testify to that in court and seal the deal." "What I'm interested in is the mention in a few reports of Kite Pharmaceuticals. What the hell does Kite Pharmaceuticals have to do with my son?" "Maybe that's the next thing we should..." The door opened abruptly and John Doggett didn't finish his sentence. Instead he stood upright and slightly in front of Dana as she sat wide-eyed at the computer. Mulder stood at the doorway to the room looking crumpled and awkward for a moment before he crossed the room and stood closer to them. "Here" he said holding out a bundle in his hand toward Dana. John Doggett moved slightly out of the way so she could grasp the object. When she did a slight smile broke across her face as she placed it on her lap and over her stomach. "Thanks" she said looking up at Mulder with trepidation. "I thought it would help" he said awkwardly as he shuffled his feet. John looked from one person to the next unsure of what was going on between them, but sure that Mulder was not going to yell at Dana. "I'm,...uh...going to get a coffee. Do either of you want one?" he asked as he walked to the door. He didn't hear a response from either person as he walked out the door and shut it behind him. ******************************* The end of scene 52
