Fox Mulder thought: Officious little prick.
Alex Krycek offered him a firm hand shake and a smile. G-Man at your service.
Separating him from Scully hadn't been enough, they had to send him a green agent with greasy hair and a smug little smile that Mulder wanted to knock off his face about two seconds after first seeing it. Not only did he have to leave the X-Files, but he had to deal with a smartass following him around on cases that where as predictable and average as white bread.
Experience, however, had it's advantages and if there was one thing Fox Mulder knew, it was how and when to jettison what was weighing him down.
Bye Bye G-Man, thanks for playing, but unless you're a skeptical redhead, this agent works alone.
