    Disclaimer:  This story has all characters i can think of.  Dead or alive.   
      
    Spoilers:  None unless you don't know whose dead and whose alive.  This will   
   go throughout   
      
   the series.   
      
      
      
      
      
    Mulder hit the cement pavement hard, cracking his skull.  He reached for his   
   gun on the   
      
   ground feet away, but he was knocked back and thrown against the alley wall.    
   By now   
      
   Mulder's back was bleeding like crazy, his head hurt like hell, and he had   
   nothing to defend   
      
   himself with.  He felt like yelling out for Scully but he knew it wouldn't   
   help.  Even if Scully could   
      
   help him it would be to late.  But of course Scully wasn't there to help...   
      
      
     Agent John Doggett stood in Skinners office with a grim face.   
      
   "Assistent Director, we need to do something."  He insisted.   
      
   "About what Agent Doggett?"  Skinner sniped back.   
      
   "About Agents Mulder and Scully.  Without them the X-Files are history."   
      
   "What does that matter.  The X-Files have been in jeapordy many times before."   
      
   "But not like this.  Skinner, Mulder's gone, who will work on the X-Files."   
      
   "You will, John.  You and Reyes."   
      
   Assistant Director Walter Skinner!"  He said sharply.  "Me and Agent Reyes   
   can't do an ounce   
      
   as good as Agents Scully and Mulder."   
      
   "Fox and Dana can and will be found.  Until then you and Reyes will start work   
   on the X-Files.   
      
   Effective immediatly."  Skinner dismissed him and he bagen to walk out.  "And   
   Doggett, there's   
      
   a file that will help you with Agents Scully and Mulder."  He handed him a   
   file and sent him out.   
      
   "So your helping them keep the X-Files up, aren't you Skinner."  Sitting in   
   the swival chair,   
      
   back was Cancer Man.  He took out a pack of cigarettes"Can I see the pack?"   
      
   Asked Skinner.   
      
   "I thought you didn't smoke."   
      
   "Never to late to try."  He took the pack of cigarettes from Cancer Man.    
   Slowly Skinner   
      
   reached under his desk, brought his hand back, and took a cigarette.  Cancer   
   Man took it and   
      
   lit the last cigarette in the box.  Suddenly a shot was fired.  There was a   
   soft thud as a body hit   
      
   the ground.  Skinner's secretary entered the room.  She gave a shrill scream   
   and fainted on the   
      
   spot...   
      
      
     Mulder threw the shadowed figure against the wall, and reached for his gun.    
   He slammed into   
      
   the figure and shot him.  He put the figures hands around his back.  He   
   started cuffing him   
      
   when he was shot in the back and fell in a crumpled heap on the ground.  The   
   last thing he saw   
      
   was a hint of green where he had shot the figure.   
      
   "Tsk.  Tsk.  Tsk.  Mulder.  Mulder.  Mulder."  Krycek held him up high in the   
   moonlight.  He   
      
   could see Mulder had a fractured skull and left leg, his kneecap was out of   
   place, his back was   
      
   shredded, and he had no sign of waking up.  Perfect.   
      
   "Throw him down.  It is over."  The figure stepped into the shallow   
   moonlight.  "He will not   
      
   survive if he is not found in time."  He said.   
      
   "Right...Pilot."  Alex threw him into the alley.  The bounty hunter climbed   
   out into the open.   
      
   "Go human, before the FBI come."  As Alex left the bounty hunter took Mulder's   
   gun and put it   
      
   in its owners hand...   
      
      
     Doggett heard a scream and headed to the source.  Others heard it to and   
   followed him.   
      
   Skinners office had a few other agents in it.  Including Reyes.   
      
   What's happened."  He asked.   
      
   I don't know."  They shuffled threw the bustling crowd into Skinner's office.    
   There was a body   
      
   on the floor.  Skinner's secretary lay in the doorway.  "She's only fainted.    
   She'll be okay,"   
      
   Reyes said.  Suddenly the secretary awoke with a start.   
      
   "The cigarettes."  She yelled suddenly.   
      
   "What?"  Doggett moved to the cigarette pack.  It was empty.  Right next to it   
   was a lit one.   
      
   He sniffed it.  Suddenly he pulled his head back.  "Poisen."  Then he spotted   
   Cancer Man on   
      
   the floor.  On the other side of the desk he found a shot Skinner...   
      
      
      
     Mulder lay in a hospital bed.  He was barely awake   
      
   "Where...am I?"  He asked.   
      
   "Your in a hospital.  It's okay."  There at the side of the bed was someone   
   Mulder couldn't   
      
   believe seeing.   
      
   "Whe...Where's Scully?"  Mulder asked   
      
   "Don't you remember, Mulder.  Scully disapeared three months ago."  Deep   
   Throat said   
      
   grimly...   
      
      
                                                              - X -
