Scully looked over the case files as they drove to their hotel on the outskirts of Los Angeles. "An angel, Mulder?" She said, looking skeptically at him, he returned her look with one of mild surprise. "I have to say, I'm shocked that you'd show any skepticism on this case, your beliefs being what they are." "& what is that supposed to mean?" Scully said as she turned slightly in her seat to face him, mildly offended. "Well… it would be like me showing skepticism about the existence of aliens & extra terrestrial life on this planet." He replied, hoping his benign tone would lower her defenses. "I'm sorry, Mulder. But unlike you, I can't let my beliefs get in the way of facts & hard evidence… or lack there of." She said coolly, exiting the car before it came to a complete stop in front of their hotel. Mulder watched her disappear into the lobby to check in, leaving him with hishurt feelings.
Scully put down the case file she had been skimming over for the past hour or so, she pulled off her reading glasses wearily & glanced at the clock, 12:30 am. She set the case file on her nightstand along with her glasses, turned out her bedside lamp & was more then ready to turn in when she heard a knock on her door. With a groan, she flipped the covers back & walked to the door, she didn't even know why she even bothered to look through the peephole; only one person could be calling at this hour. She opened the door wordlessly & stepped back to invite him in. "I came to apologize." He said, his voice dropping a couple of octaves as he sat on her bed. " I want you to know that I respect your beliefs. I at least owe you that much for respecting mine over theyears& humoring me when you didn't have to." Mulder said; his voice still soft as he came to stand intimately close to her, she gave him one of her famous exasperated looks as she placed her hand on his cheek. "My religious beliefs have always been a touchy subject for me; I didn't mean to snap at you." Mulder dropped his gaze sheepishly to the floor; Scully took his head in her hands & lifted his head so his eyes to meet hers. "Okay?" She said slowly, Mulder gave her one of his famous grins & it was all the response she needed. He turned, preparing to leave when her voice stopped him. "We've had plenty of arguments like this in the past, what worried you so much about this one?" "I just didn't want any breeding animosity between us." He said as he gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze before departing.
