I Want To Believe Part Dos Dana Scully started to play with the new rib clamps that had been introduced in today's meeting. The endless droning of her superior, who insisted on reading the entire manufacturers instructional guide out loud, was boring her to tears. How hard could this be, she thought as she repeatedly clamped and unclamped the coffee mug in front of her...big mistake. "Holy Shit!" she jumped back as the hot ebony liquid sprayed over her white overcoat. The room of catholic doctors, nurse nuns and priests went silent, stunned at the use of her words. "Sorry...I ...I better go clean this off" She swiftly made her exit and headed towards the wash room unbeknown that she and Doggett had just missed each other by a heart beat. He walked through the third pair of swing doors and glanced into the office windows. "Where is the damn reception?" He smiled at a group of Nuns exiting an office, there hands full of dripping coffee stained papers...the smell was all too familiar to him. "Finally....excuse me could you tell me where I can find a Doctor Dana Scully" The pretty receptionist swiftly ran her fingers over the keyboard and looked at the computer screen, then back at Doggett "I'm sorry sir; there is no doctor here by that name" "Are you sure, can you check again please?" "Sure..." But her answer was the same Meanwhile Dana had exited the wash room and was making her way past the reception desk to her office. Just before she reached it she took one last look at her pathetic excuse of getting rid of a coffee stain and decided to go the opposite direction to the staff room in hope of finding a replacement coat for the day. They had missed each other again. "Ok how about under the name of Mulder..." "I'm sorry sir there's nobody under that name either" He started to loose hope, thinking Skinner had led him on some wild goose chase to help make him come to his senses...Dana Scully was not to be found. He started walking away. "Sir there's a Doctor Katherine, if that rings any bells?" "Thank you for your help but why would that ring any bells?" "Oh Sir, forgive me, its just that her first name is Dana, Doctor Dana Katherine...you said her fist name was Dana..." "Where can I find her?!" The receptionist was about to answer before... "You can't find her...and you won't" Doggett turned to the familiar male voice. It belonged to Fox Mulder. "You mind taking a walk with me Agent Doggett?" "Not at all..." It was a little too big and smelled slightly of mildew but it would have to do, Dana made her way to the reception desk to pick up her charts for the day. "Hi Sally" "Oh hey Doctor Katherine" "Has the meeting ended?" "Yes about 10 minutes ago...here you go, you have a new patient at 4, there flying him from Vancouver and he'll be in the St Sophia ward bed 3" "Ok, Thanks Sally, see you later" "Oh Doctor Katherine..." Scully turned back "Yeah?" Sally 'um'ed and 'ah'ed for a second before proceeding "There was a man here about 5 minutes ago looking for a Dana Scully?" Danas face fell, nobody knew that name here "What....what does that have to do with me" Sally let out a guilty sigh and moved from around the desk to where Dana was standing. She carried on in a whispered tone "Look when you joined us here, Father Thomas asked me to...well...to kinda do a background check, if you will, and I found that just before you came here you changed your surname" She noticed Dana's uneasiness "Look...don't worry...Father Thomas is a suspicious prick who's had it in for you from the beginning, just because your about the only Doctor here who has the guts to stand up to him. I don't care why you changed your name or why you moved here from America, all I Know is that you're an amazing Doctor...and we all have pasts! Look I didn't Tell Father Thomas anything, as far as he's concerned you're next to a Saint! but the guy that was looking for a Dana this morning was American...and he seemed pretty desperate...so if your un easy about being here while he's still around I can get cover for you today?" "He's still here?" She started to panic "Yeah he went into the gardens with another man...I didn't catch the first guys name but he called his friend Fox Mulder" "Mulder?" Now Dana was even more confused "Sally, how do you get to the gardens from here?" She pointed to a small exit but told her that there was a window with a safe view of the gardens in one of the empty old staff rooms, Dana went there. "What the hell are you doing here John?" "I was hoping to find Dana, but I guess you already know that seeing as you seemed to easily find me first...did he call you?" "Who?" "Oh knock it off Mulder...Skinner, did he call you both and tell you I was coming" "Yes...he called me and told me...he didn't call Dana and I didn't tell her" "Why not?" "Because Doggett...I was secretly hoping that you would find her, that she'd see you...then you would have had to hear this from her instead" "Hear what?" "That you're an idiot John, for coming here, trying to find her, hoping that her last journal entry even meant anything even more...she's moved on John, she's happy here, we both are. We're not together any more but we're still great friends. She also has other friends now...the occasional boyfriend here and there...she's over you Doggett!" "What the hell do you know? You haven't seen what she wrote; you don't know how she felt!" "Yes! Yes I do know Doggett! I know because she told me! She told me the night we left! She told me that she loved me but she wasn't in love with me anymore. She told me about how she felt when she saw you with our son, she told me that it was mostly my fault that she had lost him...you know how that made me feel John!" "You got what you deserved!" "Yeah...well...so did she! Don't you see, she deserved a new life! A new start! That's what she has here John...for once in her life she's happy! And I'm not going to let you ruin that for her!" "I...I just want to see her...to see if she's ok...if she's safe" "I'm telling you John...she is all those things...she all of them and more! Let her go! Go back to America and start a new life too! I'm begging you Doggett don't bring back the past...not now...look she's a Doctor now, she also teaches art to kids at a Sunday school, she has her own house, her own dog, she has friends and neighbours, she holds dinner parties...she...she's so happy. Its my duty...after all that I put her through...to help her stay that way...I cant let you ruin all that for her...I just cant...please John...Just go" John was defeated by his words. As much as he hated to admit it, Mulder was right. Coming here was selfish of him. "Ok...I'll...I'll go...you wont see me again" "Thank you John. Its what's best" Mulder started to leave "Wait...just one thing...please Mulder. Tell her...tell her I still love her" "I can't do that Doggett" Silence passed between them. John nodded, he watched Mulder leave before heading back to his car.
