Mulder watched as the car disappeared from the parking lot, waiting until he could no longer hear the leaving vehicle.

Slowly walking to his own car, he got inside and, trying to stop the tears from falling, started the engine and drove away.

He'd been driving for an hour when he finally spotted the familiar figure lounging by over the hood of the car parked along the roadside.

Stopping his car, he stepped out and grinned. "Do you think they bought it?" he asked.

"Of course they did," Alex Krycek grinned. "I checked to make sure each of those cameras in the lot was working. They no doubt saw every moment of our performance."

"So, they think I'm dejected and you've left?"

Krycek nodded.

Mulder smiled. "Great. Now, let's have sex."
