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

Scully had seen Mulder drive frantically before but never as fast or as
dangerously as he was now. He was determined to get to San Jose and the second
of the triplets before it was too late.
" Mulder slow down" Scully screamed as he almost collided with the car in front
of them. He simply looked at her but he did slow down a little. The arrived at
the house on Anne Darling Dr. in record time. Mulder practically ran up the
front steps. He knocked and the door was opened just as Scully reached the
front step.
" Can I help you" said a plump Mexican woman who looked to be about in her
mid-forties.
" We're looking for Mrs. Estrada"
" I am her" said the woman with a heavy Spanish accent. It was obvious that
English was not her first language.
" I'm agent Mulder and this is agent Scully. we're from the F.B.I. can we come
in?"
" Of course" said Mrs. Estrada. Scully noticed that she looked very frightened.
" We believe that your daughter may be in danger"Scully explained, hoping to
calm her fears. She assumed that the woman was not legally in the country. It
would explain the fear and why they had chosen to give the child to her. She
would pose no problem at all in fear of being caught and sent away.
" My Lili, how"
" Lili was one of three children. One of the triplets has already been abducted
as well as her sister and the sister's twin."
"Madre de dios" The woman muttered
" Where is she now?" Mulder asked
" She went crawdad fishing in the creek near the school"
Scully noticed a pensive look on Mulder's face. Suddenly he jump up and started
racing toward the door
" Come on Scully we have to hurry" He was almost out the door before Scully was
even up
" Mulder what..."
" The creek Scully the creek"
" Mulder what are you..."
" Don't you get it. the other abductions all happened on a creek bank. we have
to hurry"
They were arriving at the creek. Scully looked down and to her great relief saw
a young girl walking along the side of the creek.
" Lili" Mulder screamed. The girl looked toward him and when he motioned for
her to come up she started walking toward them. Something caught her eye.
Mulder and Scully saw it too. a small glowing light. Lili started walking
toward it as if in a trance.
" Lili don't go near it" Scully screamed as she and Mulder ran down. There was
a bright flash and then total silence. Lili was gone.
