"If we ignore them, do you think they'll go away?" ---Agent Fox Mulder UNION by Joe Ashby (Agent Dial/DirSkinner@aol.com) 11/24/94 Sun's beams shine through the apartment window. The winter air chills the desolate apartment. Footsteps are heard approaching the apartment door, and the rattling of keys ring through the hallway. A tired Fox Mulder opens the door. He stumbles to his desk and played back the messages on his answering machine. Mulder sits on his couch and listens. A familiar female voice spoke from the machine Mulder couldn't place the voice to a face. Why should he be able to, he was in quarantine for a month! He was still trying to get over what he witnessed in the "FIREWALKER" case. Suddenly, it hit him, it was...KNOCK, KNOCK! It couldn't be!!??, Mulder thought. He slowly inched his way to the door and cautiously opened it. To his surprise he saw no one! Then a voice echoed through the hallway, Mulder thought, It must be Scully! All of a sudden, Phoebe Green appeared before him. < I just thought I could stop and see how Sherlock was doing. And was wondering if you like to get together for lunch?> Mulder hesitated a moment and answered < Phoebe, I have an important case to work on.> Mulder thought for a second : A lot more than you could imagine! As they stood there, the phone began to ring. RING....RING....RING....CLICK! The answering machine played the message being recorded, and this time a mysterious female voice... < Mulder, I need to see you, tonight!! It's URGENT! Meet me in front of Union Station at midnight. BEEP! > Mulder thought.... Phoebe questioned Mulder, He slammed the door shut. The alarm clock's buzz filled Mulder's apartment. < Almost, midnight. I better get to union station!> He raced to his car and drove to Union Station. The sky was black, and the cold wind blew hard. As Mulder approached Union Station, he surveyed the area. Who was it that called he thought. The car came to a halt, and Mulder slowly emerged from it. A dark, slender shadowy figure stepped out of the darkness. The female figure replied < It's me.> He still couldn't place the voice with a face. He knew it wasn't Scully, and it wasn't Phoebe... who was it. Mulder's heart began to race and cold sweat ran down his forehead. Nervously, he question again < I still don't know who you are?> The figure stepped closer to Mulder's range so that he could see her face. And she answered < It's me, Kristin Kilar.> "You need to know. You need to know if they are who you believe they are." ----Kristin This story is based on the characters and situations created by Chris Carter, Ten Thirteen Productions and Fox Broadcasting.

And she answered < It's me, Kristin Kilar. > Mulder stared in amazement, he couldn't believe his eyes. Memories began to run through his mind about the times he had shared with Kristen before she died. He thought to himself, "Could it be her? It couldn't be..she's dead!" , she replied. he questioned. Kristen approached Mulder and kissed him lightly on the lips. she answered. Mulder kindly escorted her to the car, and they drove back to his apartment. They walked quietly down the dimly lighted hallway. As Mulder approached his apartment he noticed a audio tape lying partially underneath his door. Kristin asked. Mulder replied, , and he quickly kicked the tape down the hall. He opened the door and followed Kristin in. As he reached for the light switch, Kristin grabbed his wrist and said... Mulder oddly looked at her and replied, said Mulder. With a mysterious smile she replied, Mulder smiled. Just as Kristin was about to speak RING.....RING.....RING.. Mulder picked up the phone and spoke, Scully answered, Mulder knew he was in a sticky situation. Should he stay or go see Scully? He thought... Scully and a drink... for once not talking about work... a once in a lifetime opportunity... or... Kristin... a person that was dead but now alive. Mulder looked at Kristin and spoke into the receiver, <.......bad night? Why did the video "Naked Alien Babes" arrive in the mail today? {she giggled}> Mulder regretfully replied. and Scully hung up. Kristin questioned. Mulder answered insistently. Kristin looked at him with an expression of love, Kristin stood up and kissed Mulder on the lips, and headed towards the door. Mulder shot up and replied, She opened the door and looked back at Mulder, And she left. Mulder knew that he had to do something. He rushed towards the door and swung it open. As he looked down the both directions of the hallway, Kristin was nowhere in sight. He lost her again, he thought. He slowly moved back into his apartment, and as he reached to close the door he noticed the same audio tape that he kicked down the hallway, back in front of his door. Strange, he thought. Mulder picked up the tape and went inside. Mulder sat down on the couch and stared at the tape and wondered, He threw the tape into the wastebasket next to his desk. All night he sat on the couch staring out the window wondering where Kristin was. FBI HEADQUARTERS 6:15 a.m. Day 2 A tired Fox Mulder staggered into his office.

Scully waited a few minutes to make sure Mulder had left, and then she went for the desk drawer. She opened the drawer to reveal the X- File: "Trinity Killer." she thought. While collecting his thoughts about Kristin, Mulder found himself having walked to Union Station. He glanced at the place where he saw Kristin, and thought Back at the office, Scully examined the file, and the only reoccuring name in the reports seemed to be a Ms. Kristin Kilar. Then she noticed the same name written on a notepad on Mulder's desk. She immediately called Special Agent Drake in the FBI's Federal Location Center and asked him to find out for her all the information about one Kristin Kilar. A few hours later, Agent Drake processed the information about Ms. Kilar to Scully.
