Skinner's voice trailed off as he recalled it was Mulder they had been talking about. His chocolate gaze moved over the tall agent beside Scully, reading Mulder's impatience in the charged air around him. Scully chose not to recognize the worried frown tugging at Skinner's brow, instead offering him a supportive smile. "Panic attack. Krycek is fine." "Alex Krycek does not have panic attacks." Mulder argued, the aggression tight in his voice. "What's going on with him?" Scully sighed. "Mulder, think about it. Krycek was taken from his family right out of the hospital. I'd be guessing here but I'm supposing he was given to a consortium family to raise with the express purpose of controlling his biological family. Controlling and betraying your father and now you at the very least. In the case of your father....his father..." She let that trail off. "He's discovered that his entire life is a lie. That he's been the tool in an agenda not of his own choosing. The guilt he's experiencing..." "Bull shit." Mulder slashed the air with his hand. "I want to talk to him. Want to know what he knows about my sister. Now." "Now is not a good time," Skinner said firmly. "Sir, that man..." "That man is your brother, Mulder." Skinner glared daggers at his wild eyed agent. Mulder shook his head violently. "Krycek..." The madness went out of his eyes suddenly. "Ah, Jesus, Sir, I didn't even know my mom had a third child. Finding out I have a brother...And that brother may have killed my father..." "Bill Mulder was Alex' father was well." Skinner distracted Mulder's thinking. "According to your thinking he did kill his father." Skinner shook his head. "Go home, Mulder. Alex is in no mental state to be harangue by you right now." "But.." Scully halted his outburst with a hand on Mulder's arm. "Skinner is right, Mulder. Krycek has been through several shocks today. He needs time to rest. Come to terms with what's happening." **** Skinner stepped into the hospital room, closing the door softly behind him. "Finding something interesting in that wall, there, boy?" Alex didn't stir himself to respond, just continued to stare at the stark white wall without interest. Crossing the room, Skinner perched on the side of the bed and curled a finger around Krycek's chin, turning the man's head to probe his dull, green eyes. "How are you feeling, Alex?" "Am I under arrest?" "We have nothing to charge you with, but you know that, don't you?" Alex managed a tiny shrug. "Whatever." A tiny half smile ghosted over Skinner's lips. "Why do you want to die, Alex?" A flicker of what could only be terror flickered in the younger man's eyes. "Do I?" he managed, his voice soft. Skinner probed Alex's eyes, waiting. "You ever see "The Bad Seed"?" Alex asked, the tip of his tongue darting out to moisten dry lips. "This little kid, a girl, all shiny and innocent. Striking kid. All blonde peaches and cream. Looks like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth." Alex paused thoughtfully. "She's like five or six. Momma and daddy's pride and joy." "Alex.." "But there's something wrong in her, ya know? Something pure evil." "Alex, please..." "She has this kindly old lady living...I can't remember, upstairs, I think. Grandmotherly type, ya know. Milk and cookies....cuddles and chat... But the old lady had this bracelet and she said she'd leave it to the girl in her will." Alex snorted bitterly. "The kid did love that bracelet." He sighed tiredly. "Such an innocent child, and she's plotting murders like she's been at it for years." "Your not a bad seed, Alex." Skinner cupped Alex' cheeks in his hands. "You were a victim in all that's happened." "Ri-i-i-ght.." Alex drawled. "Tell me another one" TBCed????
