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!

"So you're the bastard that led them right to my son?" 
Mulder asked pointedly as Franz entered the treed 
area.

John Doggett stepped in front of Mulder hoping to ward 
off any fist fight that they didn't have time for.

"Mulder, please..." Scully asked quietly.

"Scully, if it wasn't for him, William would be..."

"Picked up by another one of their associates" Franz 
interrupted as he walked toward the group, "don't kid 
yourself Mr. Mulder, it's much bigger than me."

"Where's Adria?" Mallory asked, changing the subject.

"Handcuffed to a tree" he said as he stepped over a 
large root.

"So maybe we need to figure out what the hell we're going 
to do...together" John said as he glanced between the two 
men.

"Will the scientist co-operate?" Mulder asked Mallory.

"If you have a gun pointed at her, she will" Franz 
answered the question for her.

"What's happening there?" Scully gestured toward the lab.

"They have been given the order to pack up and move the 
patients and facility, probably because they suspect 
we'll do something."

"So let's do something" John said anxiously as he 
watched time tick away.

"I think we need to take advantage of the chaos" Mulder 
said eyeing the moving trucks.  "If Scully can go 
in as a lab tech and move with the patients..."

"We need to take the ambulance" Franz said authoritatively 
"if she can get the patients to the ambulance I'll wait 
with Adria in the vehicle for them to be passed off.  
They'll trust that she would travel with the patients 
so there will be no question..."

"And who'll be watching you?" Mulder asked, unsure of 
his intent.

"Mulder, do you honestly think that we would travel 
all this way with a fucking death warrant on our heads 
to continue the project?" Franz's voice started to shake.  
"You are more paranoid than your file says."

"Why don't we stop the name calling and get down to 
business" Scully suggested as she glared at Franz. 
"The way I see it, I can get into the facility under the 
guise of working in the labs, so I'll go right to the 
patients and stay with them.  I can monitor them and go 
where they go."

"They'll be going to the ambulance" Mulder added.

"Which is why we need our people in the ambulance and...
Franz is right, having Adria in the ambulance will lend 
a certain credibility to the operation. No one will 
question loading the patients into a vehicle she's 
waiting in."

"True" John agreed as he glanced sideways at Mulder.

"So what do the rest of us do?" Mallory asked.

"I think you and Mulder can get into the facility and 
pretend you are part of the moving crew.  You can grab 
files that prove Kite was involved in this illegal 
experimentation.  You load the files into the ambulance 
and we'll get away with patients and information in one 
load."

"Sounds a little too easy" Mallory commented.

"It won't be" Mulder said, "but she's right, it's the 
only way."

"John, you'll be in the ambulance with Franz and Adria." 
She said turning to Franz "I don't doubt you want to help, 
I just don't know you well enough to trust you."

"It sounds like you have this all figured out.  Don't we 
get a say?" Franz said tersely.

"No, no you don't" Mulder said as he walked past the man 
and bumped him hard with his shoulder.
