Disclaimer; I obviously don't own anybody-so needless to say I don't own the folks in this small fanfic.
CC, FOX and everyone else; I have about 24 cents to mah name, so if you want them...no need to sue.
Just ...tell me.
Summary; Quick thought process Scully goes through in Per Manum- afer Duffy Haskell- mentions a time before
Scully during the "Mulder and Fowley" era.
Quick sidenotes; It's a tad bit off the episode. I don't hate Fowley, nor do I love her. It's all I have to say about that.
And-- Special thanks and hey! to "9" and "Scullder" from the X-Files Widget who kept asking about the fanfics. Lol

Scully walked into the office to find Agent Doggett sitting with a man across from him.
"I'm sorry, Agent Doggett, I didn't realize that you had an appointment."
Agent Dogget looked at her and then over to the man again.
"This is Duffy Haskell. He says he knows you or you know him."
She didn't know this man. Maybe Mulder did though.
"I'm sorry. I don't remember."
He looked a bit lost and with a shaky voice said,
"I contacted you about my wife About eight years ago because she was an alien abductee."
This is when it dawned on Scully, 8 years..that was before her. When Mulder was here alone.
"That was before my time here. But, uh, is there something I can help you with?"
As she walked behind Mulder's desk she kept thinking of that...Mulder. Alone.
"I talked to a woman before. Agent...Fowley... I think her name was."
Het stomach droppd as the thought came flooding in. Fowley. Even though she had
helped save Mulder. She had given Scully the keycard...her name alone hurt her. She had
driven something between her and Mulder. The mere presence of the woman made Mulder want
to drop everything to help her. To believe her. And it had hurt Scully...
What really hurt Scully the most, was that Mulder knew Fowley had given her life for him.
In a way Scully felt like she might never be able to measure up to that amount of love.
Scully was broken out of this trance by Haskell.
"Well...she's dead. My wife is dead now. They killed her. Kath-- my wife."
One last thought was given to Fowley. She knew how much Mulder and I mean to each other...
She died so we could be together. She knew, like everyone else...She knew how much I love Mulder...
