Communication Breakdown

There comes a point in every Agents life when a certain time of the year comes around… and for a lot of Agents, this was that time. Mulder sat in his chair and swivelled slowly, looking at the paper he held in his hand.

'Oh, I can already see Scully's face' He thought as Scully walked through the door. Mulder stopped swivelling and looked at her as she placed her bag down.

"Sorry I am so late, I got held up at…" She looked at him "…What?" Mulder just shrugged

"Oh, nothing?" he replied looking down. Scully noticed he was holding a piece of paper.

"Mulder what have you got in your hand?" Mulder shrugged again

"Nothing" Scully gave him a raised eyebrow before walking over and snatching the paper. Mulder stood up "You don't want to…"

"Team building seminar? Again?! We only went to that a few months ago?" Mulder shook his head.

"No actually, it was exactly a year ago" Scully groaned

"Mulder why do we get stuck with this? Don't they know our people skills are fine?…"

"Scully there's…"

"Yeah I know, there's more right?" Mulder looked at her wide eyed

"See we don't need team building, when we have communication…" Scully rolled her eyes and hit him with the paper

"I'm blaming this on you, Mulder. If you could just communicate with Skinner better, then he wouldn't send you each year and then I wouldn't have to go…" Mulder gave her his puppy dog eyes

"My fault?" Scully just threw the paper at him and walked over to her desk

"Oh you know it is" Scully sat at her desk in a huff "So what else is it? What don't I know about?" Mulder swivelled round looking at his 'I want to believe' poster

"Well there's actually a lot of Agents going this year" Scully raised an eyebrow

"Oh? Who?" Mulder didn't turn around

"Well, I can tell you but you're not going to like them…" Scully glared at him

"Mulder? Who are they?" She asked angrily. Mulder shrugged but didn't turn around

"Well?…" he started slowly. Scully got impatient

"Who?!"

Myers sat at his desk and rubbed his face as he looked at the paper in his hand.

'Why me?' He thought as he leaned back, just then his best friend Dean Fuller walked in.

"Hey George, did you get it?" he asked. Myers held the paper up.

"Yep" Fuller walked around in front of him.

"Don't worry your not the only one" Dean placed his paper down on the desk. Myers leaned over

"You too?" Fuller nodded

"Yep and so did Greg, Max and Chris and…" Myers looked up at him as he stopped

"And who?…" he as questionably. Fuller just shrugged

"Team building Seminar?" Michelle Harp asked as she was handed the paper.

"You've never been to one?" Her friend Stacy asked sitting on the desk next to her

"No, I haven't, did you get one?" Stacy shook her head

"No, just you" Harp nodded and read the letter.

"Oh well, it can't be that bad, it's just supposed to work on communincation skills. Or so it says here" Harp shrugged folding the paper up. Stacy laughed as she stood up and walked away.

"If you think so" She snickered. Harp gave her a funny look

"Hey! Wait a second, what was that for?" Stacy just kept walking, smiling over her shoulder

"You'll see!" she called as she went out the door. Michelle pursed her lips then looked back at the paper

"Ok, then?" Harp slid off the desk and walked over to her computer. Sitting down she started to type on the computer.

'Team building seminar…Now lets see what you are…'
