Three Weeks Later

Friday 6:45 p.m.

Georgetown Cemetery

Rain fell lightly over the Georgetown cemetery. It had been three weeks since the death of Bria Thompson, but Mulder still felt the loss like a fresh wound. He had determined that Alex Krycek was indeed Bria's roommate and that he had been present at the time of the agent's death. But he knew, for once, that Krycek hadn't committed the crime.

Actually, it appeared that the backstabbing liar had attempted to save Agent Bria's very life.

Fox stood over his friend's grave, reading the inscription.

Bria Michelle Thompson

FBI Special Agent

Beloved Daughter And Friend

1970 - 1996

It was then that he noticed a small bouquet of roses, laid in front of the headstone. Mulder bent down, finding a card amidst the flowers.

The card contained only two words, both of which Mulder knew all too well...

Da Svidanya

The Russian word for goodbye...

THE END !
