It's not over till you hear the bell.
By Dark Minds
A/N: So here is a fic that I came up with ages ago… I was writing more to it, and realised there where 10 pages of it… not good, so I am posting the story up now… the first few chapters will come up quickly as I have already written them. Now I hate to say it, but the x-files isn't mine… and neither are the characters! But I'll tell what is mine! Mulder n Scully's alias, Joe, Michelle (she is kinda mine…) and so is the gym guy.. and anyone else who you guys haven't heard of!
The phone rang in Agents Mulder and Scully's office. Mulder picked it up.
"Mulder… yes sir… we will be right up" Mulder said.
"Mulder… what have you done this time?" Scully alleged.
"Nothing… I swear… I have been a good boy" Mulder grinned.
"Hmm well ok." Scully said unsure whether believe Mulder.
The entered the lift and made their way to AD Skinner's office where they where greeted by Kimberly.
"Hi Mulder, hi Scully." Her eyes gazed at Mulder.
"Hi Kimberly, how are you this morning?" Mulder gave her a smile which left her only responding with a small nod. Scully thought to herself how ironic it was. All the male agents severely disliked Agent Mulder, while the female agents had a thing for him. He was the subject of desire come Valentines Day. He always got at least 10 cards, which he just put in the trash. Scully found this funny seeing as he NEVER read any of them.
"Skinner is ready for you" Kimberly's eyes where still on Mulder.
"Thank you Kimberly" Scully said as she walked through the door. Skinner motioned them to sit and they did.
"How are you both today?" Mulder and Scully looked at each other. He was never this nice.
"Sir, are you ok?" Mulder said slightly concerned.
"I'm fine" His voice became slightly more serious. "It's just that I have a big case for you, it's not an x-file. This is a very important case. We have had 10 other agents try to solve this case non successful and two where killed by the suspect. It's been in the hands of the best agents the FBI has in America. The guy is relentless, ruthless and very cold."
"So why Scully and I?"
"Well Agent Mulder, you are considered the best in the VCS. And Agent Scully has some great credentials."
"Me…? I am the best?"
"Yes… truthfully a lot of the VCS people around the US considered you somewhat of a genius."
"But I'm just Spooky Mulder… "
"Yes well… you're the one they requested… well the big boss requested."
"Huh? I was requested by the main director?
"Yeah… despite your reputation."
"So… what is the case sir?"
"Well the suspect, James Ladson had murdered 15 people… 10 of them where boxer's and their girlfriends. Two of the five that where left where our own agents and the other 3 where innocent bystander's. So what you are going to do Mulder, now keep an open mind.. are going undercover with agent Sully. You're going to be a boxer named Jack Braden and Scully is going to be Katie Saunders. Scully, will pose as you girlfriend."
"You want me to box?"
"Yes"
"Have you seen me fight sir, most of the time, Scully has to save my sorry ass."
"Yes, well Kimberly has seen you work a punching bag and says you hit hard and direct."
"Well that's cause the bag won't move or retaliate."
"Well we have got some top trainer's to help you, we are paying a lot of money for you."
"Who have you got to train me… cause the way I box, I'm going to need Muhammad Ali."
"We have Mike Tyson."
"WHOA…. WAIT A MINUTE… WHAT?" this time it was Scully who spoke. She seemed to be in shock with the whole conversation.
"Mike Tyson is going to be your coach. We arranged this with him and he said he was willing to help. Ladson killed one of his close friends."
"Mike Tyson is going to kill me if I get in the ring with him."
"But sir, this is really dangerous, Agent Mulder could get seriously hurt."
"That's why we are going to get him trained."
"Great!!" Mulder gave his signature sarcasm.
"Well on the plus side, you and Scully have a penthouse over looking the beach. And you have a BMW. We have made you look like you have money, then you look like your good at boxing. Cause Ladson only wants to kill good boxers"
"At least I will have the nice stuff"
Skinner gave them their plane tickets. They were to leave tomorrow at 12.
By the time they finished with Skinner, it had turned 3pm. Mulder, nor Scully, saw the need to stay at work when they had to get on their case the next day. All Mulder wanted to do was sit on his couch in the dark and think things over while bouncing his basketball. He needed time to get used to the idea. However, he quickly got used to the idea of Scully being his girlfriend.
Before they made their separate ways to their cars, Scully gave Mulder a reassuring hug to tell him he would be fine. She could see the look of shock mixed with nervousness and fear wash across his face. He admitted to himself that he had felt better after Scully's hug.
Scully sat at home watching a I Love Lucy rerun. She too, was trying to get her head around the case. She hated seeing Mulder hurt and knowing he the chances of him being hurt in the ring did nothing to help her relax on the whole idea.
Meanwhile, Mulder had the sudden urge to watch T.V. I Love Lucy was on. But like Scully, he did not really concentrate. I all his years of being in the FBI, a case had not played on his mind like this one did. There was now a fusion of fear, shock and surprisingly, some slight happiness. He was told he was a genius.
