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 walked Mallory to their 'borrowed' car.  

"When you get in position..."

"I'll call" she interrupted him without meeting his eyes.

"Mallory, you were not part of the plan" he said softly 
as he reached for her hand.

She jerked her body away and reached for the door handle, 
"at this point Franz, I don't really care."

He sighed and took a step back.

She opened the door to the Neon and sat down heavily inside, 
"you think they won't notice you are a wanted criminal?"

"I think it's the only chance we've got.  With the facility 
being packed up and everyone rushing about, they may not 
notice I'm wanted by the FBI."

"And if they do?"

"You take this" he said handing her a piece of paper, "and 
you get out of this country as quickly as possible."

She looked at the paper.  It had an off-shore bank account 
number on it and the name of a man.

"What is it?" she asked, confused.

"There's $400 000 in that account, it should give you a fresh 
start.  The guy's name is Toby Burns and he'll get you out of 
the country, fast."

"Franz, I don't..."

"Mallory, if they discover it's me I'm a dead man.  At least 
this way you can live" he said without regret.

"Maybe we should re-think..."

Franz shut the car door for her and stepped back.

She unrolled her window and looked at him with sad eyes, 
"Franz, I don't want you to get killed, there must be another..."

"Call me when you're there" he said as he turned to leave.

She watched him walk up the steps to Adria's house and in through 
the front door.  

Mallory wanted to go inside, to talk with him and find out what 
really had caused him to become involved with her, but she 
didn't.  There was too much at stake and the answers she 
wanted may never be forthcoming.  Franz knew what he had to 
do, and so did she.

Mallory started the car and drove towards the Kite facility.
