Chapter One: Glynis Scully
Special Agent Fox Mulder walked into his little basement office to find a tall, skinny redhead going through his personal files. Without a sound he crept up behind her, grabbed her shoulder and said with some force, "Who are you and how did you get in her!" In an instant the girl had flipped him over her shoulder and stepping on his chest, pinned him to the floor.
"You should learn not to sneak up behind somebody," She stated.
"You should learn not to go through someone's personal files."
"You should learn to keep them locked up!" Down the hall, they both heard the elevator doors open and footsteps on the cold cement floor. Mulder used this distraction to knock the girl off balance. She hit hard on her back. Mulder straddled her pinning her arms to the floor.
"Scully!" He shouted out the door, "They were locked up. What do you have to say for yourself?" He asked rather smugly. With one swift movement, the girl brought up her knee straight into Mulder's crotch. Mulder hollered in pain and curled up on the floor holding himself. The foot steps in the hallway quickened in pace.
"You should learn not to mess with a Scully!" The redhead spat at the crumpled G-man. Just then Special Agent Dana Scully walked into the office. She had heard the fight and Mulder call to her and was ready to shoot his assailant. The scene she found, however, was not what she expected. Instead of a villain holding a gun to Mulder's head, she found Mulder on the floor his face twisted in pain, and a skinny redhead standing over him. She couldn't help it. Slowly a smile appeared on her face and Dana Scully started to laugh.
"Glynis? What happened?" She managed to say between giggles.
"He attacked me!" she said pointing an accusing finger, "so I flipped him on to the floor, and then he knocked me over and so I kicked him," She said very matter-of-factly. Mulder, trying desperately to regain his familiar stoic composure, said in surprise, "Scully? You know this girl?"
"Yes, I do. Mulder, I would like you to meet Glynis Scully. Glynis this is Mulder, my partner." Glynis Scully looked apologetically at Mulder and held out her hand saying, "It's very nice to meet you Mr. Mulder." The fierceness left her eyes and a warm, but smug smile, formed on her lips. Mulder took her outstretched hand cautiously.
"It's just Mulder," he told her.
"Sorry about the whole flipping you over my shoulder thing. You scared me."
"That's quite all right. It happens a lot. Scully, how are you related to this girl? You said her name was Glynis Scully." Mulder asked.
"She is one of my cousins. There were many brothers and sisters on my dad's side of the family. This is one of my many cousins. Glynis is my favorite. She's like the little sister I never had," answered Scully giving Glynis a hug. "She's also a junior in college studying psychology."
"What do you want to do with psychology?" Mulder asked.
"I would really like to do forensic psychology. That's why I'm here today. I'm getting the grand tour of the FBI Building. Mr. Skinner also said it would be all right if I joined you on one of your X-Files. Although, I was really hoping to see what a real FBI Agent does."
"We are real FBI Agents," Mulder shook his head, "A skeptic and a Scully, gee, I can't wait."
"You don't want me to come?" asked an innocent faced Glynis.
"Well, frankly, no, I don't want you to come. I don't think I could handle babysitting you. These cases can be dangerous. Besides I'd be afraid you'd kill me on accident!"
"I don't need a babysitter. I can take care of myself! And, if I were afraid of a little danger, I would not be here. Every job is dangerous, Mulder. And at least I can protect myself, which is more I can say for you," Glynis was getting angry. This Mulder character was irritating.
"Glynis-" Scully tried to intervene; she could see the fury return to her cousins eyes.
"I am a trained agent! I could have killed or seriously hurt you at anytime."
"Ya. Right. And another thing, Mulder, Mr. Skinner said I could come! Do you really want to go against your boss?" Glynis was yelling now.
"Mulder-" Scully threw up her hands in desperation. It was useless to try to reason with them.
"Listen to me, missy, I am sure that Skinner said it would be good of you to join someone else on a case, but certainly not the X-Files! These are more serious and much more complicated! No one believes in them! It is much harder to prove something happened when no one believes that it did!"
"Like that has any bearing!"
During all the arguing, the elevator had opened and let out a tall, handsome man with a stern look on his face. His look never seemed to show any emotion but anger or grief. Only his eyes held his true emotions. Assistant Director Walter Skinner was pleased that Scully had brought her cousin in for a close up preview of the work at of the FBI. It will be good for her, he thought to himself with a rare smile. His happy thought was interrupted, however, by loud voices coming from the tiny basement office. Skinner quickened his pace to reach the office before some serious damage was done. Standing in the doorframe Skinner witnessed a very ugly scene. Mulder's face was flushed and he was yelling at a skinny redhead, the same redhead that Scully had introduced to him earlier that day. She was also yelling. As he looked around the room he saw Scully standing in the corner. She glanced over and saw him, shrugged her shoulders in desperation as if to say there was no use.
"What is the meaning of this?" demanded a very irritated voice. The arguing stopped. The tiny basement office was dead quiet.
"I said, what is the meaning of this?" Skinner was not pleased with the actions of his best agent.
"Umm…he said that it wasn't a good idea for me to join them on their next case," answered Glynis nervously.
"Mulder is this true?"
"Yes sir, but I didn't think it would be-"
"What? Have you forgotten what it was like to be her age? Wouldn't you have liked to be taken on a case with someone to experience it first hand?"
"Yes sir."
"This case is not an X-File anyway. It is your basic open and shut case of vandolism. You should have it solved in no time. In the mean time, you are to treat Glynis as if she were your equal. Do you understand Agent Mulder?"
"Yes sir. My equal," Mulder said through clenched teeth.
"Good. I expect a full report of this case on my desk as soon as possible." With this final word, Skinner left the office and returned to his office. Glynis Scully stood smirking at Mulder. She had won and knew it.
"I'm ready and packed. We can leave whenever you are ready, Agent Mulder," Glynis smiled. Mulder sighed as he looked at his partner who stood at his desk holding in her giggles.
"I am also ready. The car is packed. We are just waiting for you," Scully confirmed. This was going to be an interesting case.
