Title: The Truth Summary: A big lie, told many years after its beginning, has serious consequences for two young people. Dear readers. Read my very first Fanfic story and than tell me what you think about it. (If you have read it until the end, which possibility is very small) If you send it to any archive please let me know, so I can visit it from time to time. Thank you. Part 1: The big lie Somewhere in Seattle Agent Dana Scully and Agent Fox Mulder were running. They felt that IT was right behind them. Darkness all around them. No chance for an escape. No one else there to help them. They were in panic. Dana felt, that she was absolutly breathless. Close to a bodily break down, Scully was no more able to run. She saw Mulder running in front of her. Scully felt down into the grass. "Mulder!" She screamed. Mulder looked back, recognized her situation and was running to her without thinking about the danger in which he got by doing so. "No Mulder! Go! Leave me here!" Scully shouted. "Do you think I would ever leave my partner?" Mulder answered and picked up Scully to carry her away. A cold feeling was running through his body. It was too late for them. . . St. Lois Hospital, Wisconsin The Cigarette Smoking Man was lying in his hospital bed, his cigaretts on the little table next to him. He thought about, how he should tell what he had to tell now before it was too late to tell Emily and Dave the truth. The truth that would change their lives forever. . . "Your grandchildren are here to visit you," the nurse said, coming into the room. She saw the cigarettes on the table and made a face. "Mr...! Don't you know you are not allowed to smoke in this room!" She walked to the table and wanted to take away the cigarettes, but the Cigarette Smoking Man took them quickly into his hands and held them tight. The nurse took a last look at him and shook her head. She left. A few moments later Emily and Dave came in. "It's a wonder how grown up they've gotten since I took them!" the Cigarette Smoking Man thought to himself. Emily was now looking very similar to her mother and Dave was now as tall as his uncle. People always thought that they would make a very pretty couple, if they weren't cousins. "Grandpa!" Emily whispered in shocked. Her grandfather was really looking bad today. But he hadn't looked well since the doctors have had admitted cancer would kill him soon. Dave took Emily's hand and held it tight when they came closer to the bed. "I told you both to come because I have to tell you something...something I really don't want to tell. But I have to tell the truth to you. Even it hurts you." Emily and Dave sat down next to their grandfather's bed. "You both know that you mean very much to me," the Cigarette Smoking Man started. "A lot of years ago I was involved in a big plot against the government. Unfortunately our work was in danger because of two FBI agents that tried to find the truth about our activities and plans. "One day one of these agents, Dana Scully, got kidnapped for some time. But she came back. She didn't really know what happened to her where she had been held. No one did. Then a few years later, she came to realize that she had a daughter, one made during the time she was kidnapped and she didn't know about. "She really wanted to get this child, and so we decided that she should never get it. We wanted to show her that she couldn't get what she wanted if she continued to sabotage us. We made a clone of the child and injected it with an incurable virus. . ." Emily looked really shocked. "Grandpa, you can't tell me that you really have done this to an innocent child! You are lying!" She looked in his face, which was staring with a look full of pain at the wall. Now Dave recognized it was true "You didn't lie to us?!" "Why are you telling this to us? What does it have to do with us?" asked Emily, angry. The Cigarette Smoking Man felt a little pain running through his body. Shit. It was so hard to say. "Emily. What I try to tell you is: You are not my granddaughter. You are the REAL daughter of the FBI Agent Dana Scully-" Emily had tears in her eyes. "No! It isn't true! It can't be!" Dave couldn't say anything. He laid his hand on Emily's shoulder. She didn't noticed it. She was like frozen. She couldn't move. She couldn't even cry. "Dave. Now about you. You are really my grand-son. But I have to tell you, that your mother Samantha have had an older brother: Fox Mulder, the partner of Dana Scully. Your mother was taken away from her brother when they was children. "Dave got angry "Why? Why are you telling those things?" "I want to die in peace. " the Cigarette Smoking Man felt a painfull convulsion running through him. He looked at this two adults, which had been growing up in the belive, that they was his grandchildren, the children of his died children. Emily just shook her head, Dave was absolutly down. "Can you both forgive me for what I have done?" Dave looked down on the man, which he, as he recognized, never really had known. He was old. He would die soon. "We will forgive you. But not now. " Dave took Emily's arm. She was like she had no own mind. She moved like a robot when they left the room. The Cigarette Smoking Man felt like someone had taken away a big stone from his heart. He took a new cigarette in his mouth and took the fire. He put one the cigarette and took a big breath-in. It was the last breath he took. . . "I can't belive it," Dave said. The first tear was running out of Emily's eyes. "Oh Dave. What are we going to do now?"Dave took her in his arms. His memories came over him. He remembered it like it had been yesterday when his Grandfather brought Emily home and told Dave to take a special care of her, because she was the child of his died son, Dave's cousin. And Dave TOOK a special care. His parents have been dying, too. That was told to him from his Grandfather, so he knew what she felt. As time went by, Dave started to see Emily as his best friend and the sister he never have had. No one could annoy Emily, without annoying Dave, too. One day Emily was coming crying from school and wanted to colour her hair brown because the other children annoyed her with telling she was a "red head" and only witches had red hairs. But he told her that he thought red hairs was really pretty and from that time on Emily was walking around proud of her haircolour, because he liked it. "Dave. I want to get to know my mother. " Emily decided, when she stopped to cry. (end of part one) Part 2: The search 13th of May 2021 Dave and Emily were in a big emotional leftdown after funeral. Their whole past have been dying, when they heared the truth; their grandfather had never told them the truth before, so it was to hard to know, too awful to understand. The whole day was like a nightmare. Both felt like they were frozen. It took a few days, until they woke up out of their unhappyness and aked themselves how to go on. "Dave, I know, you are still hurt by all the bad things that happened, but we can't go on like that," Emily said four days after the funeral. "We have lost all we knew about our past and we have to find a new past, the whole truth about our roots. " "I know, you are right, but where do we have to start? There is not much we know. We know that your mother and my uncle have been working together at the FBI "answered Dave, looking very seriously at Emily. "Let's call the FBI !" said Emily. "Emily, we can't simply go to the FBI and ask: Sorry, have you seen our relatives, we lost them somehow and grew up at a strangers house. " "Why not?" Emily asked. "Why not? You must be joking. You simply can't do it. " "And why I can't?" "Because. . . " Dave didn't got an good answer. "You see, I can. There is no reason against it. " Emily took the phone. "They never believe us, what we are going to tell to them. " Dave took the phone out of Emily's hand. "And of course, they could be in pension now. " "I don't care, if they are in pension. I just want to try, to find out, where they are. " "Do it, if you can't let it. " Dave left the room a bit angry, that Emily didn't listened to him. After Emily found the number she called the FBI in Washington. "Here is Emily. . . Scully. " She used her REAL family- name for the first time and it felt good to her. "I'd like to talk to Agent Dana Scully. "The voice on the other side of the telephone was confused. "We don't have an Agent Scully here. " "And what about Agent Fox Mulder?" "Sorry, I don't know him, too. " Emily was a bit frustrated, she have been imaging it more easy. "Can you look in your computer, if they HAVE BEEN working here, somewhen in the past?" "I really don't know, why you are interested in the former agents, but o. k. . I'll watch in my computer. " For a short time there was just silence, while the computer was searching in it's archive. Emily's heart beatet strong, while she was waiting. "I found their names, but I can't enter their files. They are only for autorized persons. " "Fuck. " thought Emily. "Thank you for your help," she said. Emily was not lucky, with the successless try. "And what did you reach?" Dave asked entering the room with a tin of coke. "Nothing. " "I knew it!" said Dave. Emily was very unhappy, but she didn't even thought of giving up. She had to force herself not to cry. "Entering their files is only allowed for autorized persons. " "What a pitty. " Emily looked up to Dave standing in front of her. "Dave. You are a computer-specialist. " "Sure, Iam. " Dave answered proud, but wondering a bit, what Emily wanted to say with that. "What, if we would look in the FBI-computer by ourself?" "W-H-A-T???" "We brake in the FBI-building and search in the computer by ourselfs. " "Emily! It's not legal and. . . " "And it have to be! Dave. . . Please. . . " He could never say no, when she looked at him like that, and she knew it. "Emily, we CAN'T!" "Dave. . . Please, please, please!!!" "what if we get caught?" "They won't catch us. We watch out. While you search I'm going to watch, if someone is coming. " "Emily, you are crazy. " "You say yes?" Emily was hoping for it. "I say. . . That you are absolutly crazy!" "Does this mean YES?" "Even it could bring us in big danger and in the prison I just need to watch in your eyes to see, that if I don't help you, you will find someone else to help you. " "Say just yes!" "N. . . Yes!" 13th of May 2021 "Are you still sure that you want me to do this?" asked Dave and took a bite of his hamburger. "I am more sure than I'll ever be again. " Emily asked bravely, even she got a bit frightened now that it was so close to happening. They were able to see the last room-light in the building turning off and how the last Agent left the building. They saw the flashlight of the night-watch-man in the upper floor. "Emily, I don't want you to come with me. Stay in the car!" "I'll come with you, it was my idea!" "Please Emily, listen to me. We don't need go into this danger together!" "But I could never forgive myself, if something would happen to you!" "The worst thing will be if I get caught! Please stay here in the car! I won't go in, if you won't stay here." He took out two walkie talkies. "You tell me when anything is moving in the building. " Dave was about to go out of the car. "Dave?" "Yes what is?" "Take care of yourself!" Dave smiled. "I promise." Emily took on her walkie talkie. Dave was reaching the door. He slowly opened the door and went in. Silence all around him. He took on his walkie talkie. "I'm inside," he said through it. "The night-watch-man is still in the upper floor." Dave moved through the floor. Than he found an office and went in quickly. In the office it was dark and it took a few seconds, until he was able to see through the darkness. There was a few files laying on a chair in a corner and a table with an computer. He put on the computer. "Dave. Where are you?" "I'm in an office. I gonna start to search now. " ENTER PASSWORDDave was putting out a disk and put it in the computer. It was a program, he have been making by himself and it was usually to help him, when he forgot his password, which was happening often. This program showed him which letters was right and than he just had to put them together to a word that made sense. But today he would use it to enter an FBI computer. "Dave! The watch-man walking to the same floor where you are!" Emily shouted scared into the walkie talkie. No sound. No anwer. Fuck! The batterie was finished. She had to warn him!She ran to the building and opened the door. She walked fast, but silent through the floor. She heared the steps of the watch-man on the upstairs. . . She ran panically into the next office she could find. Dave was there, what a luck. She ran to him and took him under the table. "What's up?" "The watch-man is coming!"They heared the steps of the watch-man. Dave quickly put off the screen. They heared the doors opened and closed, than the watch- man opened THEIR office door. They were scared and hold the breathe. The door got closed again, but they stayed under the table for some time. "Emily. What a luck, that you have been coming!" Emily gave him a big hug. "The damned batterie was finished! So I had to come and warn you by myself. " "Thank you Emily. " He gave her a kiss on the cheek and worked on on the computer. "Here is it!" He pressed the "print" - button. He damned himself, when he heared the little noise. "Are you crazy???"It took a little time until it was printes out. They heared the watch-man walking into another floor. "Where was their office?" "What?" asked Dave. "Where was their office?" "Why do you want to know it?" "I just want to know it. " "It was in. . . . " Dave searched in the printed papers. ". . . the basement. " "The basement? O. K. Let's go. "They where slowly walking upstairs into the basement. "I wonder, why they worked HERE!" Dave said, looking at the cold basement. They found the door to Mulder's and Scully's ex-office. It was full of dust andn o one have been in for years. It seemed to been untouched, since Mulder and Scully had left. A destroyed poster hang on the wall "I want to be. . . " "I think, here we are save of the watch- man," Dave said and looked around. "Looks like a family of rats is living here. " "What's written in the computer-stuff?" Emily asked. Dave watched through the papers. "They disappeared 20 years ago. " "Disappeared???" "Yes. While they was working on a file. " "Which file?" "X-10398. It seems like they worked on their own unit called "The X-Files. " ""X-10398?" Emily looked through the old and dirty files. "Here it is!" Emily took the File and the appointment book, laying it on the table, too. "We better go now," Dave said. Emily took a last look at the office and wondered how it may have looked when her mother had been working in it. Than she left right behind Dave. This time the watchman was far away. Part 3: The hint 9:21 pm Emily looked down on the printouts and found the scanned file-photos of Dana Scully and Fox Mulder. "You have a really cute uncle, Dave." Dave looked over her shoulder. "And she looks exactly like you!" he said. "No. She is beautiful!" "So are you." Emily got a bit red. "I don't like jokes like this. " "It's not a joke." A long break filled with silence sprung up between them. "You really are," Dave said and put his hand on her arm. Emily stood up quickly. "Do you want a coke too?" she asked and walked quickly to the kitchen. When she came back Dave was resolutely concentrating on reading the information. "No doubt, they disappeared 20 years ago. " "That's terrible. Now I'll never get to know my mother," Emily said, upset. "But maybe we can finish the work they started and find out why they disappeared," Dave said. "You are right. I want to know the full truth!" Emily answered. She took the file and tried to read and understand the things written in it, but it was unbeliveable. "What's written in it?" Dave asked curiosity. "A lot of confusing things about UFO's seen in a town in Texas. . . Uuuuuhhh. . . . Really spooky!" she answered. "You don't think it's real?" ""UFO's and so on? I don't think, that there is any other lifeforms in space. Our scientist would have found them if there were." "Why not??? Maybe they got kidnapped by aliens. " "Take care of your telephone - bill. E. T. could try to call home!" Emily answered dryly. "Ha, ha. . . Very funny!" Dave answered ironically. Emily gave him the file and went into Mulder's appointment book. "Hey! Here are a few telephone numbers!" she shouted gladly. "Yes. A few OLD telephone numbers." "But I could try to reach one and. . . " "These numbers are about 20 years old. It's not possible that they are still in use!" "You are right, it is impossible!" Emily had begun to realize herself. "Emily. I think I'll go home now. It's late and I have to work tomorrow." Both said goodbye and Dave left. Although Emily was tired, she had to read the numbers in the appointment book again and again and she asked herself if there REALLY wasn't any number, even one, that was still in use. She thought that she should be listening to Dave, to agree that it was really illogical that one of these numbers were still in use, but she really felt like she HAD to try. And so she did. A few times she had to hear "The number you have dialed is not correct. . . . " One time a really angry sleepy woman got up the phone. Emily asked her if she knew Fox Mulder, but the woman hadn't heard of him and got more angry in any case. Emily finally she got a working telephone answering-machine and left a message on it. It was about 10:30 pm when she went to bed. The next day she had to work in her job as secretary, but her thoughts was very far away. When she came home this evening she was very tired and first had to sit down on her couch, before she was able to do anything. She was watching TV for a while, than the telephone was ringing. "Hi. Here's Dave. How are you?" "Very, very tired!"Emily watched down on her telephone-answering-maschine. it showed that one message was on it. "Have you been calling me before?" Emily asked, because she couldn't imagine, that someone else had been leaving a message. "Actually not. Have you been longing for my call?" "No, I mean. . . maybe. There is a message on my answering- maschine!" "Listen to it. Than you'll know. " "Can I call you back?" "You can call me any time!"They finished they talk and Emily put on the maschine. "I know what you are searching for. . . And I can help you to find it. Listen to me: I gonna meet you on the super-market-parking ground on the other street side at 10 pm. Bring NOBODY with you and don't tell anyone about our meeting. Please destroy the message after getting it. " a strangers voice said. Emily watched on her clock, it was 7pm, long time untill she would maybe get an answer on her questions. She sat down on the couch and thought about how he could help her and ifit was dangerous to go to an stranger and don't tell anyone about it. Not any one. Not even to Dave??? She usually told him everything, he was more than a friend for her. Off course, she would tell it to him!The telephone rang. "Hello?" "Emily. I've been waiting for your call!" "Sorry, I was. . . I have forgotten it. " "Who was the "secret- caller"?" "It was. . . " Emily thought a short time "He have been dialing the wrong number. " DAMN: SHE WAS LYING TO HER One AND ONLY FRIEND. She wished she could take her words back right now. "This is happening a few times to me, too. Once a woman called and told me how HOT I was. . . Oh. Sorry, I forgot: She wanted to call ME!" Emily felt a little jealous. Would there come the day, when she was no more his center of the world, very fast?"Hey. It was a joke!" "And soooooo funny! Dave, you have been making better jokes in the past!" "I know, but see: I'm getting old! Do you want me to come to you before I die of decrepit?" "Not today. " "Who knows, if I don't die untill tomorow. . . " "You'll survive. " "O. K. But just because it's your wish. " "Bye" "Bye. "Emily felt miserable. She really thought of calling Dave again and to tell him the truth, but she couldn't. If she would, she would never hear, what the stranger had to tell her. The time passed very slow. . . When it was about 9:55 she slowly went to the parking ground. No one was there, or better: No one seemed to be there. Silence was all around her and she was able to hear her own steps on the ground. A little feeling of fear came over her. She was about to think that really no one was there and that she should go now, when a she heared a voice strictly calling at her. "Stop. " "Who is there?" Emily looked hardly into the darkness and recognized a tall man standing in a corner, his face hidden in the shadows. "Who Iam doesn't matter. " "What do you want from me?" Emily asked bravely, fighting against the growing fear. "The question is what you want from ME!" "I. . . " Emily didn't really knew, what to answer him. "I have the informations you want. But first you have to promise me, that you don't tell any one who have been giving them to you. " "Not even to Dave?" Emily asked quietly. "No matter who this Dave is, I don't allow you to tell anyone. " "But Dave is my cous. . . " No. cousin was no more the right word, since they was knowing the thruth. She searched for another word, that could explain the way they was bend together now. ". . . friend. He is searching with me for the truth about my mother. " "You don't tell ANYONE! And now let's continue. I don't have a life-time to discuss this out!" "O. K. " Emily whispered. The stranger in the dark gave her a little paper. "This is the adress that will lead you to the place where all your questions will find an answer. "Than he gave her a little card, looking similar to an eurocheque-card and a gun. "This is the key. " "The key to WHAT?" "You'll see. " "I have one question. Why do you want to help us?" "It's for the justice. " He went away, still not giving a chance for Emily to look in his face. Emily looked down on the paper. It was a adress in Seattle. Part 4: Solution "Emily, do you really don't want to tell me who gave you this adress?" Dave asked. "I'm not allowed to tell you anything. " Dave looked concentrated on the road, but Emily saw, that he was deeply hit. "I would really LOVE to tell it to you, but. . . " "You can't, I know," he said with an angry voice. "Dave. . . " "Be silent. I have to concentrate on the road. "Emily felt really bad, but she knew, that she couldn't do anything. So she put on the radio and tried not to think about it all. "PUT OUT The RADIO!" Dave screamed angryly. Emily was shocked. He have never been screaming at her anytime before. She was close to cry. For a short time there was just silence and Emily fought bravly against her tears. "I'm sorry," Dave said after a while and took a little look at Emily. She didn't answered. "You know, I have not been sleeping last night and than we drove away so early in the morning. Sorry. " He laid his hand on hers. "Dave. I think, we should maybe drive back and forget it all. It caused trouble between us. And we have never had real trouble before. " "Emily. We can't stop now. We are so close to the solution of all. We will find out, why your mother and my uncle are disappeared. We will find the truth. I think, that they really could be kidnapped. "Emily saw that David was finally possessed of finding the truth, even he had been sceptically in the beginning on their search. "And maybe we will find ALF and E. T. too. " "Don't make jokes about me. Making jokes is after all my job. "They drove a long time untill they reached the right adress. They had to do a lot of asking all the way, but finally they reached by driving over a lot lanes a big warehouse, 50 miles away from the next city. They parked on the backside of the house. "Here we are!" Dave walked to the entrance-door and Emily followed him. "There is no door-handle. " "But there is a slot. " Emily recognized and put her card through it. A little noise, than the door opened. Cold air came out the warehouse when they went in. When they looked around, their faces got very shocked. Frozen human bodies in glas-containers was all around them. "Oh my god! It cannot be! Are they. . . dead?" Emily whispered. Dave couldn't say anything. Emily's knees got weak and she was in danger to fall down. "Emily. Come. Go back to the car. I'll look around, if I find your mother and my uncle. " Emily couldn't even answer. She just ran crying out of there back to the car. Dave walked through the containers and searched. It was unbeliveably cold! He felt sick, when he looked in the shocked wide open eyes of the frozen people. . Finally he found the containers with Mulder and Scully standing next to each other. He felt very cold and it wasn't only because of the cold air all around him. He didn't heared how the warehouse door closed. "I have to go and tell it to Emily" he thought and went back to the door. It was closed. He got in panic, he pressed his body against the door again and again. It didn't worked. He tried again and again. He screamed for Emily, but the walls where too thick. The same time Emily decided to go back to Dave to look where he was staying for that long. She saw an car close to the warehouse, that had not been there before. She felt big fear. Dave was caught by someone. She walked around the corner and saw an medium sized older man standing not far away with the back to her. She remembered the gun, the stranger on the parking place have been given to her. She pulled it out of her bag, even she didn't knew how to use a gune she walked silently forward and pulled it into the mans back. "Where is Dave?! Where the fuck is Dave?!" Silence. "Hey man, I gonna shoot you if you don't tell me!"The man showed with an finger on the door. "Open it!" Emily shouted. The man slowly pulled out an card, exactly like hers, and opened the door. Dave was laying down on the ground, but he was alive. Slowly he stood up. Emily still had her gun in the mans back. "O. K," she said "And where are Dana Scully and Fox Mulder. " "Emily. You don't wanna see them. Belive me," Dave said quickly. "Where are they?!" Emily repeated. The man walked forward to the containers. "Oh my god. " was all Emily could say when she saw the two bodies with the wide opened shocked eyes. She was silent for a while than she shouted: "What have you done to them??? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE???" "Laid them on ice, like everyone, that put his nose in my stuff. "Emily was so angry, that she had liked to shoot him, if she had known how. "You damned. . . . . " "Emily! Better give the gun to me," Dave said. Emily did, but she shout this man with her eyes. "Is there any chance to. . . make them living again?" Dave asked the man full of anger. "Maybe, maybe not. . . " "Hey man. I want a real answer!" Dave shouted and shot with the gun in the air. "I didn't knew, that you know how to use guns . " Emily whispered to Dave. "I didn't knew it, too. " he whispered back. "O. K. I show you how. " the man said frightened. He took his door-openingcard and was putting it in a little slot in Fox Mulder's container. It began to shine in it, similar like in an Solarium. He repeated the procedure at Scully's container. "Can I go now?" he asked. "No. We wait. "It took about 10 minutes before both in the containers started to move. Mulder was the first able to leave his container. "Damn. Where am I???" "You were frozen," Emily answered. The man, no more having a gun in his back took the chance to disappear unseen. Mulder took a closer look at both of them "Can it be, that I know you two from somewhere??? And for how laong have I been. . frozen?" He put out his cell phone and tried to get a signal. For 20 years," Dave answered. "Shit. And I just signed a 10 year contract on this cell phone! By the way: Where is Scully?" He looked up and saw the melting Scully. "Is she. . . ???" "She'll be o. k, when she is really melted. " "A melting Scully? That's really not her way. Who are you both after all?" "You better sit down, " Emily said. Mulder did. "This young pretty lady here is the daughter of Mrs. Dana Scully," Dave told him. Mulder's mouth fell open. "You didn't die?" he asked and took a closer look at Emily. "Yes. Now I see the similarity, Emily. . . And you? Are you her boyfriend?" Dave took a look at Emily and grinned. "Soon will be, I think." Emily gave Dave a death glare. "But actually I'm the son of your sister. " "Samantha? How is she, where is she?" Mulder asked quickly. "She died short time after I was born. " Mulder gave Dave a big hug. A liitle voice sounded through Scully's container. "What's up here?" Mulder answered. "Scully, you wouldn't belive it. . . " The End Feeeeeeeeedback, please!
