The Truth is Out There--Scene 98 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 and Dana Scully emerged from the side of the Kite facility walking quickly to get to the ambulance. "It may be gone" she said as she walked in front of him. "They weren't supposed to wait," he said coolly as he practically walked on her heels. They got to the front corner of the facility and were startled by a woman running quickly around the corner panting. "Not that way!" the woman huffed as she ran past them. "What?" Mulder asked as he snuck a peek around the corner. He saw FBI agents scrambling around the outside of the facility, no ambulance in sight and several agents standing outside the front doors with guns drawn. He looked toward the front door and saw a man in his underwear drop a pile of clothes by the front door and walk away. "Scully, look" he instructed as he backed away from the corner and she moved into position. "What the hell is going on?" she asked, confused. "Maybe Wilson wasn't working alone" Mulder offered. "You think Franz and Mallory got away?" "Who else would move the ambulance?" he asked. "True" she said quietly as she searched the front of the facility for any sign of the kids or the agents. "They must be gone." "And hopefully they are going to the meeting point and not taking our evidence and destroying it." Mulder said softly. "Mulder, let's get out of here" she said softly "while the Bureau is distracted by whatever is going on in the lobby." "Deal" he said as he grabbed her hand. "let's take to the surrounding forest, we'll call Doggett when we get clear of this place and we'll find out if those two agents screwed us over." "You really don't trust him?" she asked as they ran toward the trees. "He was trying to hurt our son Scully," he said as he ran "he's done nothing so far to show me I should trust him." "He joined this mission" she said from behind him. "Yeah, but for what reason?" he asked cryptically. "Mulder, I really think he's trying to make amends" she offered. "We'll see" he said as he raised a tree branch for her to walk underneath. He turned to look at the chaos of the facility behind him and shuddered. He was glad William would never see that house of horrors. All he wanted now was to get Scully to safety, bring these people to justice, and spend the rest of his life enjoying his family. "Come on!" she yelled from up ahead. He lowered the branch and followed her wherever she wanted to lead. ********************************* The end of chapter 98
