Scully dropped the yellow manila folder on Mulder's desk. "Skinner wants us to work on this case. The investigation of the disappearance of Mr. Mallard. He was first discovered missing from his semi detached house two days ago. His next door neighbour claims he heard odd screeching noises at about the same time Mallard was killed."

Mulder rubbed his eyes. "Mulder?" Scully stared at him looking concerned, "Something the matter?"

"No, I just have to stay a bit later here tonight. I have some work to do."

"Like?" she picked up a piece of paper that was on the edge of his desk. It was his paycheck.

"I have to write a report for Skinner and I have to go to the bank," he was pointing to the check in Agent Scully's hands. "And, my water bed sprung a leak, so I'll have to get that fixed. . . "

"Ah. I was just going to watch 'Casablanca' when I got home," she stated, picking at her perfectly round fingernails.

"Casablanca, Scully?"

"It's a classic, Mulder''

"Alright, alright.. whatever floats your boat. Y'know, on your way to the video store if it's not too much work, do you think you could cash my check for me? It's right next door."

"Oh but by the time I get home it'll be late and I'll--"

"Miss your bedtime? C'Mon Scully....." he pleaded.

"Fine Mulder, okay."

So Dana Scully grabbed her leather jacket, heading off to the video store and bank, as Mulder sat by his desk unaware that in a few hours his life would be drastically changed.
