Chapter 10
FBI Headquarters - Washington DC, Monday 2:00 PM Kim sat in Assistant Director Skinner’s office crying while Scully had her arm around her trying to keep her calm. Maya wasn’t in the lab when Kim had showed up for lunch at the time they agreed to meet. She didn’t think too much of it when she saw Maya’s purse at her station. She assumed Maya was in the restroom or with Mulder. When 1:00 approached she returned to her office to call down to see if she was downstairs with Mulder. “I thought you two had left for lunch at noon? You mean you haven’t seen or heard from her?” Mulder said, suddenly sensing that something may be wrong. When a search of the building did not turn up any evidence that she was there, Skinner was called. They gathered in his office for an interrogation or what felt like one. At that point he was pacing back and forth in his office firing questions at Mulder and Kim with a few pauses in between as his mind raced. He instantly feared the worst considering the break in to her townhouse occurred only a few days before and she was to be under watch. His first instinct was to tear Mulder in two since he knew she was to be under their protection but he couldn’t lose control of the situation. He had to remain calm if he was going to find Maya. He should have been with her he thought, he should have never left her with anyone else. A call came in from one of their field agents that Maya’s phone had been turned up not too far from the Hoover building. A newsstand vendor was able to identify the make and model of the car he saw the phone tossed from but he was not able to provide many details. The man did not notice a passenger in the car, nor a woman but was sure a man had been driving but didn’t make out any details at the time. An APB was called out with the car description but Skinner knew that he didn’t have much time to act. Whoever grabbed Maya either felt she had information or knew they could use her to get information from the FBI regarding the case she was contracted in for. Skinner’s intimate involvement with Maya now complicated matters and he knew that his heading her search was a conflict of interest. Skinner took a deep breath and pulled Mulder aside. “Agent Mulder, you are the only person that knows of my current involvement with Maya. I need your help taking the lead in this search. I’m afraid I might do something rash if I, if I…” Skinner’s face expressed the anger he was feeling. “Sir, you have my promise that we will do everything we possibly can to find Maya. We will find her sir.” Mulder said looking at his boss concerned what might happen if Skinner ever got his hands on the men holding his girlfriend hostage. Unknown location, Unknown day and time Maya woke with a pounding headache and the sound of tires driving on a dirt road. A sudden wave of nausea came over her and she tried to focus on her breathing. She was confused and couldn’t figure out where she was. Her wrists were tied together and there was something covering her eyes. She listened to the sounds around her and knew she must be in a car but it was so dark. Shifting her body around she realized that she was in a confined space and she then knew that she was in the trunk of a car. Panic came over her as she tried to remember how she got here. The car came to a stop and she heard someone exit the driver’s side. As footsteps walking on gravel came around she began to hyperventilate. She could barely hear the sound of the key being inserted into the lock with the sound of her heart beating in her ears. Cold air hit her skin as two hands suddenly grabbed her. She screamed as loud as she could twisting her body away from the intruder and then something was placed over her mouth knocking her back into unconsciousness. Mike Stern stood looking at Maya’s unconscious body laying there in the trunk of his car. He almost felt sorry for the woman knowing that the only reason she was involved in any of this was because he couldn’t crack those encryption codes on the hard drives himself. Once the smoking man got wind that a contract hire had been brought in and was able to decrypt two of the hard drives in the first week, he ordered she be brought in along with the drives. What Mike didn’t expect was not being able to locate the drives that Friday before and that the woman apparently didn’t sleep in her own bed. When he saw her with the Assistant Director, as he watched her place after the break in, he followed them to Skinner’s apartment that weekend. He knew he wouldn’t have another chance to grab her if he didn’t personally contact her to come out and meet him while she was alone with Mulder that morning. He had told her that he had something he wanted to run by her before he surprised Mulder with it. She willingly came out to the parking garage to meet with him knowing that Mulder was unaware of where she had gone. What made up for the inconvenience is that Mike knew he had something the Assistant Director would give the drives up for, Maya. Not that he intended to return her until she had decrypted the remaining two drives. He would have never guessed that someone like tight ass Skinner would have been able to get into the pants of someone like Maya Hernandez. Maya was way too hot for him. Mike knew that she was also a very sweet woman that he easily came to like in their time together, Skinner didn’t deserve her. A larger man came up behind him from the house and leaned in to lift Maya’s body out of the trunk of his car. He watched as the man effortlessly carried her inside. Mike rotated his arm from having to lift her limp body earlier. He closed the trunk of the car and followed the man inside. A tiny pin of light pierced her blindfold as she started to regain consciousness again. The room she was in was dark but she could tell someone had entered as the pin of light appeared and flickered as if someone was moving around. She was now lying on a hard mattress with her wrists tied up to a wood rod above her head. She could hear voices in another room somewhere and could smell the faint scent of cigarette smoke in the air. Wanting to ask whoever it was why she was brought here she was also too afraid to speak. Then she remembered. It was Mike Stern who had called her out to the garage to meet him. He was acting weird but she didn’t think anything of it. She couldn’t remember anything past that point and knew it had to be him, but why? She listened to sound of the room and tried to rub her head against the mattress to move the blindfold off. “Maya, I suggest you lie still. Don’t try to remove the blindfold. It will only create more problems for you.” “Mike, Mike is that you?” “Yeah, it’s me. It probably better you stop talking now.” She heard Mikes voice closer this time. “Why are you doing this? I will do whatever it is you want, please just let me go.” “Maya that is the intention. But answer this for me first.” She felt him sit at the edge of the mattress next to her and begin to stroke her leg closest to him. “What could you possibly see in Walter Skinner? He is such a… such a prick. What could he possibly have to offer?” Maya lay silent at the sound of Walters name. She began to cry silently at the thought of him, what he must be going through right now. “Mike, please…” “How could you let that asshole come near you? No, I know what it is. Hot chicks like you always go for the assholes. Guys like me don’t have a chance.” Mike gets up and begins to pace around the room. “Mike, that’s not true. You don’t know Walter…” “I don’t know him? YOU don’t even know him. You think after spending the weekend fucking someone’s brains out that you KNOW them. I worked around the man for five years. I think I know what he’s really like.” “How’d you know tha…” “What? How’d I know about the two of you? I didn’t until I realized that no woman would willingly stay with that bald cocksucker UNLESS she was getting fucked by him. Why else would you be there?” Maya then heard another pair of footsteps approach. There was a quiet exchange between the two men the other man threatening Mike for being in the room with her. When she heard the door close behind them she immediately began to try and work the blind fold off her. She was able to get it off just enough to make out the dark room. From what she could tell as her eyes adjusted, she was in a large room with nothing but the bed she was laying on. There may have been windows but they could be covered to make it dark. The only light was a thin strip coming from the bottom of the door from outside the room. She twisted her head up to see if she could make out what was binding her wrists but couldn’t get a good enough angle to see. She began crying again in frustration. The reality of the situation fell over her like a black cloud and her sobs soon became hysterics. FBI Headquarters – Assistant Director Skinner’s office, Monday 11:00 PM Skinner sat at his desk with his head in his hands. Mulder had told him to head home to catch some rest to ready in case a call came in. Skinner couldn’t get himself to go home without the woman he was falling in love with. It would be worse there for him, so he sat in his office, waiting. Why hadn’t they called by now? There must be something they want from him. He removed his glasses and rubbed at his eyes. He didn’t want to think about what he would do if they hurt her or worse. Replacing his glasses he went over the reports from her break in again and the security breech that occurred on Friday before. They were unable to determine who the call had come in from on Mayas retrieved cell phone. The number appeared to have come from a scrambled number. Was there something else they could have missed, something he hadn’t thought of? Mulder walked into his office holding two coffees in his hands and a file between his teeth. He set a coffee down in front of Skinner and plopped himself in an empty chair in front of his desk. Skinner pushed the coffee aside and looked up at Mulder. “I had a thought.” Mulder started. “Who knew about Maya’s contract here? Did she talk to anyone outside the lab that we know of, other than Kim?” “Only we knew she was a contract hire and the director’s immediate staff. She was listed in the database as a ‘guest of the director’. I don’t think she talked to anyone outside the lab or the case for that matter.” They sat in silence for a minute. It didn’t take long at that point for Mulder to figure out Mike Stern must have been behind Maya’s abduction in some way. He had been calling him like crazy all afternoon about Maya and he was the only person outside of the case who knew what she was hired in to do --------------------------------------While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
