I WANT TO BELIEVE

Chapter 6: Scars

Mulder
-----------------
   He opened his eyes and took a deep breath. He saw himself looking at what seemed to be a deflated airbag. He tried to look at Marks but he couldn't move his neck. Something was blocking it. He reached for his neck but as he touched it he realized something. It was medal. Where was Marks?
    He reached for his seat belt and unbuckled enough to wiggle out the broken windshield. Sure enough he saw Marks. Laying about 10 feet away. He limped over to he not noticing his own injuries. Marks laid on the ground barely breathing with not very minor cuts on her face and body. Her left hand laid mangled to her side and she tried to speak.
   "Shhhhhh," he said loosing his breath immediately. Moments after he collapsed to the ground breathing in only short breaths.
   He fainted.
-----------------------
   "Tell me when he wakes up," a voice said.
   "Ok" said another.  
   He opened his eyes enough to see he was in a hospital. Very clean he did have to think. But white non the less. Breathing was intense. The names Marks and Scully ran through his head. Wait. He sat up not noticing Skinner standing three feet away.
   "Mulder, sit back."
   "Where is Scully," he said with a troubled look on his face.
   "She is with Marks. We found her where you said she would be. Somewhere in Nebraska."
   "How's Marks?"
   "She's not doing very good. She had a collapsed lung like you but she also had seven cuts that had to be stitched, one with 52 stitches. Her left arm was broken in 2 places but will heal in time. She is still unconscious but we can move her into your room." Skinner said calling for a nurse.
   "Sounds good," he said slightly relieved.
   Seconds later a non responsive Marks and a very worried Scully  came into the room and Scully ran over to him and gave him a hug.
   "Are you ok?" she said laying him back down.
   "Yeah I'm ok," he said smiling at his once lost partner, "Is it true that you knew Marks before?"
   "Ya"
   "Ok"
