Richard Langly quickly entered the warehouse with his arms behind his back. He had the largest smile, grinning from ear to ear.
"What are you so happy about?" Fox Mulder asked the gunmen.
"You'll never guess what I got…" Langly said with delight.
"What do you have behind your back?"
"Everyone I would like you to me the newest addition to our little team." Langly revealed what he had behind his back. It was a puppy, a white and brown patches canine with brown eyes to be exact. Dana Scully shrieked with joy running over to see the woolly animal. "His name is Mr. Fluffy."
"Is that a St. Bernard puppy." Mulder asked
"Yep." Langly replied as Scully petted the caine. Mulder joined the two. He petted the puppy as well, in which he licked his hand.
"He like you." Jimmy Bond said getting up to take part in the commotion. Kenneth Soona joined the group.
"He's cute." Soona pointed out. "And fun to pet"
"How in the world did John Fitzgerald Byers and Melvin Frohike permit you getting a puppy?" Scully asked. Langly froze.
"Uh…about that…" Langly started.
"Langly?" Mulder looked at him. "They do know about this right?"
"Maybe…"
"Dude they are so going to kill you." Bond said as the warehouse door opened. It was Byers and Frohike. Langly speedily ran to his desk and snuck the puppy underneath the table out of view. Byers and Frohike looked to one another realising something was up.
"Alright, what did you do this time?" Frohike asked the group.
"Ah, Byers, Frohike good morning." Langly flourished a smile welcoming the two. Soona shook his head knowing that, that precise reaction would ratify their reservations.
"What did you do?"
"Nothing I swear."
"Oh, really then why is there a puppy in my chair?" Byers said taking a mouthful from his coffee cup indicating to Mr. Fluffy who was resting in the chair. The puppy was barking with gaiety. He looked up at Byers and let out a small welcoming bark. Frohike grinned a little.
"Well would you look at that we've got a warehouse puppy now!" Langly laughed anxiously.
"Langly…" Byers warned
"Surprise?" Langly gestured.
"What's his name?" Frohike gave in as the puppy went to him. She petted him on the head.
"Mr. Fluffy."
"Really? Mr. Fluffy?" Byers tried not to laugh as he swept off the dog hairs from his chair.
"Yeah, really." Langly sound miffed by that declaration.
"I think he's cute." Frohike said picking up the hairy newcomer.
"Can we keep him please?" Scully interrupted.
"I would like more time play with Mr. Fluffy." Soona decided.
"I too would like to see Mr. Fluffy stay." Bond confirmed. The others looked to Mulder.
"Mr. Fluffy' a cool cat. No protests from me." John admitted.
"This isn't a vote." Byers shook his head. "There are rules…"
Mr. Fluffy leapt into Byers's lap, turning around and curling up into a ball, ready to take a snooze.
"Aw, he likes you." Langly said mischievously. Byers gave into the idea.
"Fine, he can stay."
"Yes…"
"Only if he doesn't disturb our day to day ventures."
"Alright."
