The Truth is Out There--Scene 89 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! ********************************** Fox Mulder, Dana Scully sat in John Doggett's car as he maneuvered through the winding streets of Peabody. It was raining outside and the clouds hanging low in the sky threatened more to come. They were all dressed in black except for a lab coat with fake ID Scully was sporting. "Thanks for the bagels and coffee, John" Scully said from the backseat. "Can't run a black-ops mission on an empty stomach" he joked. Mulder chuckled, "that's what my mother always used to say." John swallowed the last of his coffee as they rounded a back corner of the Kite facility "what the fuck?!" he said loudly as they all took in the sight before them. There were vans parked all around the facility, an ambulance at the side gate, and people were scurrying with boxes all over the place. "What the hell's going on?" Scully asked as she leaned forward to get a better look. "I don't know Scully, but I suspect our plan has just flown out the window" Mulder replied as he eyed the scene before him. "I'm turning back and..." John started. "No!" Scully yelled as the car slowed "Let me just take a look from the side." She bolted from the car, shucked off her lab coat and tossed it in the backseat. "Scully!" Mulder said, too loudly. She was already off and running confidently through the bushes. "Jesus Christ!" he said exasperated as he jumped from the car as well. "Mulder, I'll circle back in 5 minutes" John said as he watched the man run off into the woods. John drove off, leaving the two former agents to figure out what was happening. "Scully!" Mulder hissed as he ran through the woods "Scully!" "Stop saying my name" she snapped from a spot perched on a tree branch. "Then stop taking off" he snapped back. The rain started to fall a little harder but the tall trees above them protected them from the brunt of it. "Mulder, look" she said as she extended her wet arm toward the facility. He clambered up to the branch she was sitting on and followed her line of sight. He saw boxes filled with files being loaded onto trucks, and lab technicians scurrying around with equipment hastily packed into boxes. "They're moving" he said quietly. ************************************************* The end of scene 89
