Chapter 12
Crystal City Skinner’s Apartment, Tuesday 9:00 PM
Skinner sat propped up in his bed staring at the woman sleeping beside him. He was physically and mentally exhausted from the past few days but couldn’t get his mind to rest enough so he could sleep. He was placed on indefinite leave as the shooting of Mike Stern was being investigated and when his involvement with Maya was discovered. He was stripped of his gun and would be called in for a trial in the coming days. He knew that he could stand to lose his job and even his pension over this but none of that was at the forefront of his mind at that moment. He gently placed one of his fingers on the side of her face tracing her skin. He thought about how he had just found her and what if he had lost her so soon or worse what if he had to let her go if she decided a life with him was not worth the risk to hers. The thought of her willingly walking out of his life was too much for him take at that moment. As if sensing his thoughts she rolled over into him, her arm reaching around him to squeeze him tight. He brushed her hair out of face and began to wonder what it was that he did to deserve this woman.
Maya’s dreams were a vivid repeat of the night before. She fought with her memory to make different choices, to run, to fight back in her dreams. So many of these visions she would catch a glimpse of Walter just out of reach of her grasp, trying desperately to save her and watching her slip away from him. She blindly reached over in her sleep and felt his body next to hers. She curled up into him grabbing him tight, he was here now and she wasn’t letting him go. She didn’t recall much else once she was taken to the hospital early that morning. She remembered dosing off in the ambulance and then muttering a few responses to Scully at the hospital. She knew Walter had left her at some point that day after he had brought her home and tucked her into bed. She was not aware of her surroundings again until he returned home again that evening and crawled into bed with her. A finger brushed the hair out of her face and she could feel her brain working its way out of the sedatives affects. A sting of pain ran down the arm she was lying on when she remembered the stab wound. With regret she rolled away from Walter and opened her eyes to see him. He sat next to her fully dressed in the blood and tear stained clothes he was wearing from the day before. She tried to move to sit up and she felt his arms around her whispering for her to lie back down again.
“Walter, help me sit up with you.”
“Here, I will come to you. Lie back down baby.”He pulled his shirt off and slid down further into the bed until he was lying slightly lower next to her. Being careful with her arm he placed his head on her rib cage and sighed into her as he wrapped his arm and leg over her.
“Walter, are you ok? I know that you must have been through a lot.” She said stroking his head.
“You’re here now. That’s all that matters to me right now.”And then he looked up at her, pausing before he spoke. “Maya, I’m sorry I broke my promise to you, to keep you safe. I will never forgive myself for letting you down.”
“Oh Walter.” She began to cry. “It hurts me to think that you could even think you let me down. You are my savior and I love you more than I can ever express.”
Walter slid his body up and grabbed her face placing his forehead against hers and kissed her lips softly.
“I love you too Maya. Thank you for loving me back.”
He felt her push gently against his shoulders and onto his back. She carefully crawled over him and laid her body across his and nuzzled her nose into his neck. Their hands found each other and intertwined.
There they lay for some time, all the while their recent exclamation of love for each other soaking in. Skinner’s heart raced knowing that she was his. Body, mind, heart and soul. He never wanted any one as much as he wanted her. Her abduction pained him and his inclination at this moment was to take her away from all of this.
“Maya, let’s go away for a while. Take some time for you to recover.” He said hopeful she would agree.
“You mean for US to recover.” He heard her say into his neck followed by a gentle kiss.
“I’ll make arrangements in the morning. We’ll aim to leave this weekend or early next week at the latest. I want you to take some leave time from work. Just until I know that we are out of the woods with this case and you are safe.” He felt her shake her head yes. He knew he would have to deal with the trial before they would be able to leave. He just hoped he would know the outcome by the end of the week, so he could begin to deal with the consequences.
FBI Headquarters - Washington DC, Wednesday 4:00 PM
Skinner sat in disbelief as his gun was handed back to him and he was cleared for the shooting of Mike Stern. He knew he owed Mulder big time for having his back in his defense which helped turn the decision in his favor. When he received the call to report for his trial this morning he was prepared for the worst. He knew that procedure was not followed to properly detain Mike Stern at the house. He knew he was wrong in his decision to shoot the man and he didn’t care. He managed to walk away from the trial with a 4 week suspension without pay for getting personally involved with a contracted subordinate and not stepping down from her search when she was abducted knowing that there was a conflict of interest. Skinner pleaded guilty to both counts and accepted his punishment.
As he entered his office he stopped at the doorway to look around. He looked over at the desk that he had spent many long hours, most recently with much duress over his beloved. He walked over to the desk and looked at the piles of paper work there waiting for him and that would be waiting for him upon his return. On any other occasion Skinner would be thinking about all of the work that would continue to pile up in his absence. He would have spent these 4 weeks working at home without pay as his punishment. This time was different. He turned around and walked out of his office to head home to the woman he loved.
