Disclaimer: I don't own them though I wish sometimes I did (then the 
      hole bee thing would not have happened and they would have 
      kissed!) But I am just using them for this short time of this 
      nice fanfic and I am NOT stealing them so don't sue me!
Thanks: well I think I should thank the TE special Ed department for 
      making me go to that boring ppt and thinking up this story :-)
Notes: well as I said above I wrote this during a boring ppt when 
      they all just talked and talked and I was board so I though of 
      this story and when I finally got out of that meeting I wrote the 
      story down on the nearest thing available to me, my hand.  Well it 
      did not come off for a few days despite my efforts oh well.  And 
      I know some stuff in this story is wrong and could never happen 
      but live with me I was 14 when I wrote the story!

the story MEMORIES!

She sat striate in the chair and looked at the notes she had in front 
of her.  Beside her was her partner, he seamed to be paying attention, 
at least more then she was.  She heard skinner talk but she could not 
bring her self to processes the words, it was as if it was background 
noise to what was on her mind, she looked out the window and then back 
at her notes. Trying to stay focused but it was not working, in her 
mind she saw Emily.  She saw her when she first smiled, Emily had seen 
the gold cross Scully wears around her neck then Scully put the 
necklace on Emily, that was the first time Scully had seen her own 
child smile.  

"Agent Scully" Skinner's stern voice destroyed the memory that had been 
playing back in her mind. 

"Sorry sir" Scully said still not quite back to reality.  She looked up 
and saw her boss standing in front of her

"You alright?" skinner asked 

"Yeah I'm fine my mind just wondered, sorry," she said trying to refocus 
on the case.

"I know what happened when you were at your brothers."  He took off 
his glasses "I'm sorry for your loss"

"Thank you sir" she said "the autopsy is scheduled for ten right?" she 
said getting back to the case at hand.

"Yes" Skinner went back on the other side of the desk and handed them 
a folder they stood up and walked out the door

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The victim is a white male, age around 18 weight 104 probable cause of 
death, massive blood loss, both hands have been severed at the wrist." 
Scully spoke into the tape recorder. "I'll begin with the cranial 
incision." she held the scapula above the left temple.

"Hello slice and dice Scully" Mulder said with a straight face as he 
walked into the morgue.

"Mulder this mad died of massive blood loss, the tox scan came up 
negative why do we have this case?"

"Well obviously you are not up to date on what is going on on the East 
Coast"

"I've been a little busy lately, sorry fill me in" she said removing 
the mask and glasses she was wearing.

"As Skinner said this morning this is the 11th homicide in this manner, 
with the hands cut off, the victims are all white males from the age of 
16- 25 all with clean tox screens.  There has been no visible pattern 
as to where the killer finds its victims no leads."

"Grate" Scully, said

"And we have a meeting with Skinner and congress man Rainemaida at 4"

~~~~~~~~~~~

The briefing seamed to go on forever.  Agent Scully barley heard 
anything after "good afternoon" her mind was wondering again.  After 
she gave her autopsy report nothing sank in.  Her partners profile, 
witch was usually interesting was not heard by Scully.  She looked down 
at her notes and saw the purple blob that Emily had called a potato 
then it all came back in a flood. The days spent in the orphanage then 
at the hospital then at the funeral, she had not none her daughter that 
long, less then a month but Scully vowed to remember every moment and 
cherish it.

The clanking of chairs awoke Scully from her daze.  Along with every 
one she got up as she was walking out the door she felt a hand on her 
shoulder she turned around and saw Mulder 

"What's wrong?" he asked as they walked down the stairs to their 
basement office

"Nothing" she said lying and apparently not doing a very good job of 
it for her partner saw right through it

"You seamed distracted, you look sad"

"Mulder you were there you saw her" then she stopped

"I know how you feel Scully I sometimes feel the same way" Mulder said 
trying to console his partner but then realized that nothing he said 
would help.  All he had to do was be there, when she wanted to tell 
him, she would.

"I keep seeing her before she died I keep seeing her and I'm there and 
you are there. It just keeps replaying in my mind every time we are 
together every second."  She turned towards him and he saw the sadness 
in her eyes. Just as the phone rang Mulder picked it up

"Hello" Mulder answered "okay we'll be there" he hung up the phone

"What?" Scully asked

"Another 16 year old boy was reported missing in DC"

~~~~~~~~~~

They were the first to the house of Jeremy Taggar the missing teen when 
they knocked on the door a man answered

"We are with the FBI, is this the house of Jeremy Taggart?  I'm agent 
Mulder and this is agent Scully"

"Yes I'm Mr. Taggart, please come in. we herded about the recant 
homicides and Jeremy is never late from school he always is home by 4 
its almost 8. We called his friends the school they said he left by 
3:30 he is not at his friend's houses. We don't know where he is so we 
called the police"

"Good you did the right thing," Scully said as other officers came 
around the house

"Are you going to find him?" Mrs. Taggart asked 

"Yes I promise you" Scully said as they lent and other officers arrived 
to take official statements.

As they walked down the path to the car Scully noticed something shiny 
in the grass; she reached into her pocket for her rubber gloves.

"What is it?" Mulder asked.

"Get me a bag, I think I've found the knife."  She healed up a silver 
dagger with the glove.  "This need to be sent to the lab and dusted for 
prints.  And the blood need to be analyzed."  She said to one of the 
officers as she handed her the bag that now contained the dagger.

"I'll send it myself" she took the bag and walked away.

~~~~~~~~~~
Scully walked into the office only to find Mulder sitting at the desk 
reading over his notes.  "I thought you went home already, Scully"

"I was going to but then I got the lab results back, the fingerprints 
belong to Michelle Sheep and the blood belongs to the last victim, 
Harry Frezemen.  There is an APB out on sheep and we are off to search 
his apartment here in DC"

~~~~~~~~~~
"Open the door, FBI" Scully yelled.  She was on one side of the door 
and Mulder, the other.  They both had their guns out.  Just then a 
woman opened the door.

"Yes?" she said.  Scully signaled for the other men to follow her. 
"What is this.  What are you doing in my house?" she demanded

As Scully rushed by Mulder he explained everything.  "We have a warrant 
for Michelle Sheep's arrest." he explained

"Mulder!" Scully screamed from down the hall.  Mulder ran with his gun 
ready

Scully was waiting at a door for him to arrive, "he snot in the rest of 
the house." she said, "where dose this go?" she asked the owner of the 
house

"It's the basement, there is nothing down there"

"It's locked" Mulder said as he tried to open it.  He stirred at the 
woman who reached into her pocket slowly and pulled out a key and 
handed it to Mulder, "thanks" he said as he opened the door.  He and 
Scully entered with their guns ready.

They got to the bottom of the stirs there was a woman standing holding 
a photo over he head.  She was yelling "he made me do it, he is the 
killer, its all his fault!" over and over as Mulder cuffed her and led 
her up the stairs.

"She had her reasons" the owner of the house said 

"Was it reason enough to kill?" Scully asked 

A yell from one of the officers up stairs came down "we found him, he's 
alright but scared, we are taking him to the hospital to be checked 
out."  Scully let out a sigh of relief.

"Here reasons were good enough for her.  See her husband Greg Smith was 
cheating on her and he got aids and gave it to her.  Did not find this 
out till she was pregnant with Leesa, who died three months ago, Greg 
left her about a month latter.  All that and the end stage aids put her 
over the edge" she explained.

Scully understood as much as she ever would and went up stirs to the 
car.  She sat down and looked at the photo for the first time.  She 
just sat there starring at it. 

"What is it Scully?" Mulder asked as he startled Scully who did not 
know now long she was sitting there.  She just looked at him then back 
at the photo.  Mulder followed her eyes and saw Leesa's second birthday 
party, she had shoulder length strait blond hair and had a face almost 
exactly like Emily's and Mulder understood he just got in the car and 
drove home.
