Nadia was completely worn out, she had overdone herself with the activities tonight at the family dinner and she was ready to relax. She told her mother and sister that she was going to bed, but she really wanted to talk to Mr. A again. She couldn’t stop thinking about that kiss. What made me do that? She couldn’t believe she had just kissed him out of the blue, but more importantly, he seemed to have enjoyed it.
She started to surf the articles on the news station’s website, catching up with the current affairs of the past few days. She felt so out of touch. Not a lot had happened, but enough had transpired that she actually had a good hour’s worth of news to read and review before she felt like she was semi caught up on local and national news. There was one article in the national news that caught her attention. An Iranian had been murdered and it had happened in Houston. It seemed they were trying to connect some cases. Houston. She’d never been to the South before.
Pulling up her laptop camera, she snapped a picture of Triple T lying on her pillow, pulled up the encryption software, and started to type the message.
Mr. A,
Tonight it was so nice to see you and give you a proper thank you. I can’t tell you how much it means to me to be here one more day and to have this night with my family. All night I kept thinking it was because of you that I am still here and knowing that you were watching me wherever I went in my home. While it was reassuring, it just reminded me that my home was no longer a place where I felt safe. I had been invaded and this isn’t a haven any longer.
I think I have to move. I’m not thrilled about this, but I have no choice really. But now I am thinking that I might want to move. Do you know anything about Houston? They have some kind of crime going on right now; it might interest you. I’m going to include the link in this encryption for you to think about.
I hope to hear from you again.
Your Fan,
Nadia
P.S.
I can’t stop thinking about our kiss.
She pressed the button to encrypt and waited for it to finish, then loaded it onto their thread. She closed the computer down and slipped into bed. Tomorrow was Monday; she would start her normal routine as best she could at five forty-five a.m., if at all possible, even if that meant it was just waking up and walking around the living room a few times. She was determined to take her life back, and that was her first task. Maybe she would call Scully and get a lead on a new job too.

He heard his computer notification go off and he brought up the encryption software to decode what she had sent him. He smiled when he saw the picture of her cat sitting on her pillow; he remembered seeing the pillow in her room. He started to read the message Nadia sent and that’s when things started to change for him.
