XIII. NOON

"High Roller" by Crystal Method, from Vegas

"Is this a secure line?"

"Of course."

"Do you have assurances?"

"Yes."

"Good."

"The news, then?"

"Mulder is gone."

"Is he?"

"Mulder, and his sister. She was reported missing from the hospital last night."

"Have our mutual friends been informed?"

"I was waiting for your word to make the report."

"Don't. Location?"

"We don't know, sir."

"Is that so?"

"There was no sign that either were...taken."

"They left willingly?"

"It's a possibility."

"Scully?"

"Under surveillance, as you requested."

"Keep it subtle. He may try to contact her."

"If he's alive."

"He's alive."

"Rumor has it that there was an attempt on his life. A young woman was murdered instead."

"He's alive."

"We need to talk."

"Are you hiding something?"

"We need to talk."

"What do you know?"

"How does it feel to be left in the dark?"

"Familiar."

"Tomorrow. Lincoln Memorial. I'll decide whether I can trust you on this."

"Trust is not a luxury you can afford. You need me."

"Perhaps."

"Tomorrow. What time?"

"Noon."
