TITLE: Infatuation (PART TWO) AUTHOUR: Kay49x "John?" The only clear word in her mind. Her mouth was like charcoal, dry and coarse, like she hadnt used it for months. She tried to swallow but even that was an effort, she felt so weak, so drained. "J....John" It came as a whimper now, she tried to move but she felt like she had been hit by a truck. She felt about in the darkness running the fingers of one hand over the splintered floorboards, unable to move her other hand for the ruff rag bound around her wrist she tried to figure out what she was acctually tied to. She was tied to something cold and metalic, probably a radiator or a heater. She couldnt care less, she was trapped and that was that, trapped, cold and alone................again. It had been two days now John was going out of his mind. "You should have been whatching her!" Scullys mother screamed at him and the officers around them. "Why the hell was she left alone!" her eyes darted at doggett "YOU! She went with you to be safe" "Mrs Scully i will do everything, anything to get Dana back she means everything to me" "SHE'S MY DAUGHTER! SHE MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME! I WOULD NEVER PUT HER IN DANGER!" She stormed into her daughters bedroom burrying her tears in her pillow, Doggett followed. He sat beside her but she was resistant to him, he pulled her into an embrace "I'll get her back! i promise you" Mrs scully just looked at him and shook her head "Agent mulder made promises he couldnt keep....Dont you dare let her down" She walked away leaving John alone. These wheren't her clothes! She ran her free hand frantically over her body. She was wearing some kind of dress. She was wearing some sort of gown, Scully tugged at the netted pettycoat it felt torn and used......matted with something.......blood? was it hers'? she didnt know or care, she felt sick, why was she wearing this. It definately wasnt hers. "Beautiful isnt it" A voice came out of the darkness infront of her. She strained her eyes as wide as she could but nothing could see through this black hell. "Whos there......J........Jack" The name made her feel sick "You remembered" Scully backed up into the radiator as far as she could, whimpering, cold, scared of what was to come "You like the dress?" "Why are you doing this" "It was helens.......i bought it her" "What! Why are you telling me this!" "She was wearing it when she was killed" Scully closed her eyes in discust, her tears stinging her dry cheeks "You remind me of her" "Please let me go..." "Dont you like the dress" "PLEASE" "DONT YOU LIKE THE DRESS!" "NO!" She ripped at it in a furious rage pounding on the floorboards "LET ME OUT OF HERE!" Her only response was a prick to her left arm......slowly the liquid from the injection of whatever the hell it was drowned out her pain until she fell unconcious. "AGENT DOGGETT" A young male officer ran into the room clutching an unmarked video tape A Senior officer stepped up "What is it" "Agent doggett, you need to see this" "what is it officer" "I Think its Agent Scully" he handed him the video tape "Where did you get this" "I found it outsie my office this morning....i didnt like what i saw i dont think Mrs scully should be present" She was about to argue but Doggett stepped up "Mrs Doggett is as much involved in this case as any of us she stays" He placed the video tape into the VCR and watched. The camera was badly focused, it seemed to be panning round an empty old room, torn wallpaper, broken furniture.... "This is nothing"the senior officer glares at the younger officer "SHUT UP.......wait!" The camera suddenly gets focus and zooms onto an unconsious figure laying on the ground, one arm raised and bound to a radiator. "Shit" The senior officer stands "Get back to the station go over every security camera" Mrs scully runs to the bathroom, the officers bite their lips at the sound of her wretching "Agent Doggett are you sure its her" "Yeah........its her" He wipes the tears from his eyes "Get those fucking security videos now!" The officers leave. Doggetts about to turn of the video when all of a sudden the screen changes to a masked figure sitting in a chair in a much brighter room "Agent Doggett......i pressume your whatching this........huh of course you are, i bet your doing everything in your power to find her.........your not smart enough Agent Doggett.........She's mine.........I Know you want her Agent Doggett i know you love her, ive seen the way you look at her, like she's yours.........But she's mine! Its me she loves...........and nobody takes away whats mine............try Agent Doggett...........and youll get her killed and then i'll kill you!.............. Arriveaderci" The tape goes blank "DAMNIT! SON OF A BITCH!" He kicks the Television in a rage but is stopped by mrs scullys comforting grasp "Anger wont help her John......she needs you to be strong.......i trust you........now you go and bring her back to me" She lets go of him and he leaves. Scully starts to come to again, feeling worse than before, she managers to open her eyes. Shes in a different room now, its warmer, and instead of the cold radiator on her back she's on a bed. Theres a sudden movement in the corner of the room Scully jumps up startled, realising she is no longer bound but to affraid to move further as she looks towards the sound to see Jack sitting........whatching her. "Jack?" He shifts more into the light scully see's he's been crying "Are you ok?" "Am i ok? Huh am i ok?" Hestands and stars pacing the room, scully see's to gun in his hand "Who was Helen?" He stops "My girlfriend........she died" "Do you think i look like her Jack........is that why you brought me here........is that why im wearing this" He breaks down again rubbing the barrel of his gun across his forehead "You look so much like her...........I......I walked past your class and i saw her.......in you........the way you smiled at me just like she did........it was a sign" He ran at her and pinned her down, she kept calm "A SIGN! WE HAVE TO BE TOGETHER! its what she wants!" "No Jack........She's dead......helens dead............she may want you to move on but not with me...!" "NO! STOP SAYING THAT!" He pointed his gun at her "I Know helen its not you talking its not i know you still love me" "IM NOT HELEN!" "YES YOU ARE" He lunged at her, scully knew it was now or never she right hooked him in the nose and kicked the gun from his hand. He fell back dazed but they both spied the gun and raced for it. Scully grabbed it first but he punched her making the gun slide under the bed. "You have to die" he sat astride her wrapping his cold hands around her neck and squeezing hard. Scully kicked and wriggled as much as she could but it was no use he was larger than her and she was to weak to fight anymore. Her eyes became clouded as she struggled for air. Tighter and tighter he squeezed, Scullys heart slowed, her lips drained to a pale blue she felt nothing...... "BANG!" Jacks blood sprayed across her face, his grip loosened and he fell. "Dana! Dana speak to me" Doggett threw jacks lifeless body off of her and felt for a pulse, it was weak "GET THE PARAMEDICS IN HERE!" She finally breathed, the air was cold and the pain in her throat was unbareable but she could breath and she could see. Big pools of blue worrying over her........ "John" it was hardly even a whisper "Dont talk im here now......im here" He lifted her into his arms as she fell into another deep sleep..........she was no longer alone and she knew from then on she never would be again. 4 DAYS LATER SCULLY APPARTMENT She'd only been home for an hour, she was tired and weak. Maggie was unpacking her things. "Mom you really dont have to stay Agent Doggetts comming over soon" "Im not leaving until you get your strength back.......now sit down i'll start on your dinner" Scully rolled her eyes "Fine" "What do you feel like" "Anything but jello i beg of you" Mrs scully laughed "I left some shopping in my car i wont be a minute" "I'll get it for you" "No you wont! just sit down" As mrs scully left the apartment, Doggett was walking down the hall with a single red rose in his hand. "Agent Doggett you shouldnt have" "Oh but i did" he produced another beautiful rose from behind his back and handed it to her "Its beautiful but im to old for you John" He playfully placed his hand on his heart "Did you hear that it just broke!" They laughed "John Doggett, i owe you an appology" "What for........being concerend for your family......your everything a mother should be.......you dont have to appologise for that" "My, My John you do have a way with words..........i just hope one day you can convince my..........i'll say no more she's inside" She smiled a knowing smile and left. "KNOCK KNOCK" "Dana its John" She opened the door as quick as she could and embraced him "Im so glad your here" They hugged for a minute until she came to her senses and invited him in "Sorry it just seems like ages since i last saw you" "Yeah sorry about that i had to tie the case up" She looked away remembering "Erm......acctually i need to ask you something about that" "Dont Dana its over" "Please I need to know" He nodded towards the couch she sat down an he followed "How did you find me" "One of the officers was at Jacks house when the mail was post.......there was a letter asking for unpaid rent on the flat that he was holding you in......he called me and we checked it out" He put his head in his hands "Any moment later and....." "Ssssh......its ok thats all i needed to know.........you saved me john, thats all you need to remember" She pulled him towards her kissing his forehead, his cheek... John cupped her face and brought her lips down on to his The kiss lasted only seconds but as they pulled away and looked one another in the eye they both knew........they were in love . John knew it would take time and Dana knew that he would wait. She rested her head on his chest as they leaned back into the couch letting a much awaited and much earned sleep cast over them.
