Replacement

Mulder looked at the paper on his desk, his heart sank. How could the bureau do this to him? To them? Reassignment... not for him but for Scully.
They were taking Scully away from him and replacing her with someone more... experienced? Mulder was disgusted, who had more experience than Scully? He had called and abused Skinner who had told him that the letter came from someone further above in the chain of command.
It almost made him laugh if he wasn't so angry. The worse part of it all was Scully didn't even know about it yet. She had called and said she was running late. Mulder had known about it when she had called but hadn't the heart to tell her over the phone, no this was one of those thing that needed to be told in person by him and him alone. Mulder rubbed his face as he heard footsteps approaching. This was it, he was about to drop the bomb and one day he hoped to pick up the pieces. He looked up as Scully entered the room. She smiled at him, she almost always did and his heart skipped a beat every time which made this all the more harder.
"Hi Mulder, sorry I'm late. You would not believe the day I have been having. Everything is going wrong" She placed her bag on her desk and turned to him, seeing the paper on his desk. She smiled. "So what have you got today to tell me, I could use some good news now" Mulder gritted his teeth as he stood. He stood strong and he picked up the letter.
"Scully, there's something I need to tell you..." He started but before he could finish there was a knock at the door. They both turned to see a familiar face staring at them. Scully's eyes narrowed.
"Diana... How can we help you?" Scully asked not to happy about the appearance of this woman. Diana smiled slightly as she walked in with a piece of paper and handed it to Scully.
"I am here to take control of my new role in the FBI" She stated. Scully looked at her in annoyance.
"Excuse me?" Scully questioned. Diana looked at Mulder.
"Oh you haven't told her the news Fox?" Diana asked. Scully turned and looked at his defeated facial expression.
"What news, Mulder" Scully asked a definite change in her voice. Diana cleared her throat and Scully turned back to her smug smile. "What news?"
"Diana Please..." Mulder started but Diana stopped him with her hand.
"No it's alright Fox, I'll tell her. You're being reassigned, affective as of this morning. Now please empty your desk Agent Scully, I am your replacement from now on and I'm ready to get some real work done."
