****

He lies on the seedy motel bed, stares at the ceiling.  Three men
haunt his sleep.

A businessman. A hippie. A scruffy old guy.

Imploring. Repeatedly.

"Your mother needs protection."

"You're the only one who can do it.  No one else has your ability."

"Go to her now before it's too late."

He rolls over, tries to ignore them.  Tries to think about anything
else. Bedbugs? The rhythmic thumps from the next room?

He turns again. No use watching TV; he's tried.

"Your mother needs protection."

Maybe, but he doesn't owe her anything. A nice lady, but not his
problem, right?

"You're the only one who can do it.  No one else has your ability."

She's got that Mulder guy.  They both have guns.

Besides, bad things happen to people when he's around; his parents
were slaughtered.

"Go to her now before it's too late."

He doesn't owe her anything. She's not his problem...

Right?
