John Dogget was a simple guy. One that got up in the morning, ate his breakfast of simple oatmeal, dressed in his simple clothes, and drove in a simple car to a work were he did a simple job. To catch criminals in the act. To put away the sick bastards that was societies trash. His whole life spelled simple. Was the definition of simple. Which was every man's dream. So finding out about the reassignment into a new section of the Bureau was interesting at first. Until he found out he had been sectioned off into the X Files division. He knew about the notorious Fox 'Spooky' Mulder. The reason everyone called him Spooky. His unhealthy obsession with UFO's and government conspiracy. He wondered that week if he had said or done something to upset his assistant director. If he possibly failed his personal profession. John had been called in today to get a 'taste' of who and what he would be working with. Doggett expected to step into the office and have all this notions thrown at him about little green men with big eyes who abduct people from their beds, to be probed, never seen again. Instead when he made his way to the door he was greeted by a short, red head, who was currently shuffling through a bag, and not a happy kind of shuffling.

"Uh.." Doggett coughed, hoping to get her attention. But she didn't seem to notice. "Excuse me, Ms."

"Wha?" Scully stopped going through the brown duffle. A tall lengthy man was standing near the entry way. He had a military style hair cut with these deep piercing blue eyes. They didn't seem to give off a stiff kind of gaze. More of a soft, yet slightly stern ogling. "Can I help you?"

"Uh…yes," He gave a small cough again out of embarrassment. Afraid maybe he was in the wrong place. A lady like herself couldn't possibly be working with such a man like Fox Mulder, if he truly fits his rumorous description. "I'm looking for the X Files office. They didn't exactly tell me..where the office was so I'm kind of on a whim here."

Scully smiled, taking steps towards the mystery man with an out stretched hand. "Ah, yes, you must be Agent John Doggett. Your in the right place I assure you."

"Good, I didn't want to look like a fool on my first day on my new reassignment. I just didn't think a women like yourself would be working with a man like Fox Mulder. I mean, after the things I've heard upstairs in the Bureau room." He made a small laugh. Scully just raised an eyebrow with an insulted expression smeared across her face. Doggett noticed, only to try to correct himself awkwardly. "Not that Mulder sounds like a weird person. I mean…I'm...I'm sure he's a good guy. I just didn't think that..I mean. I…" He soundly like a broken record. So, Scully decided to stop it.

"It's fine. I know what you mean. I remember when I used to be in the field and heard multiple things about him. He was pretty scandalous with all his theories on the bizarre. Look, I know he sounds like a crazy guy who just spreads lies about aliens and what not…" She was cut off by Doggett who seemed worried just by her words.

"Wait. So your saying you believe all that yahoo? About the aliens and the UFO's?"

Scully didn't reply for a while. How would she explain all the things she had gone through to a man who was just as skeptical as she was? It takes one to know one she guessed. "Its hard to explain. I hope you'll soon come to understand like I have." She turned back to shuffling through the brown sack.

Doggett only felt puzzled. Was this women serious? Aliens being real? Government conspiracies? He felt even more unsure being assigned to the X Files then he did when he walked through that door. Then again being in the FBI you have to be prepared for anything thrown your way. First lesson he remembered learning on the job. "So, I never got to know your name."

Scully turned back up with a half crack smile. "Dana…Dana Scully."

'Dana.' He thought to himself. It was an enchanting name. "Okay. Nice to meet you Agent Scully. Is Agent Mulder going to be with us today?"

She stopped still. As if she had stepped on a land mine. But less wide eyed. The light seemed to have dimmed from her irises. "Uhm. He's. Busy."

"Is there a problem Agent Scully?" Her state the moment seemed a bit uneasy.

"Yeah. Of course. Everything is fine. He's just feeling not himself today."

"Would that be the same for you?"

"Excuse me?" She was a bit offended by this out of nowhere comment. He had only known her for a few minutes but was acting like he had known her all his life.

"I'm sorry. You just seemed upset. That was out of line. I apologize for that." Doggett looked a little away from her. To afraid to meet her cold womanly gaze.

"No I'm sorry. Your right. I'm not feeling myself today either. Maybe its this weather."

"Agent Scully, its 80 degrees out."

She laughed shallowly. "Well, like my dad always said. But may the sun and gentle weather, When you are both growne ripe together."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Scully just shrugged. "I'm not sure. I never have really. But I'm sure it means something close enough to what I've been feeling."

"Oh?" John smirked. "And what's that exactly?"

This guy was getting way up in her panty skirt right now. And she wasn't appreciating it one bit. He steps in first day on the job asking her too many questions. Some of them that she doesn't even have the strength to answer at the moment. "Hey buddy. I don't appreciate the poking and prodding."

"Oh, sure. Yeah. Course. I apologize once more."

Scully went about her business formally before. Then something hit her. This guy looked a bit familiar. "Wait a minute. Have I met you before?"

Doggett thought for a moment. Her red hair had been a bit familiar for him as well. Then he recalled the elevator ride this morning. She had been standing mindlessly in the corner. "Yeah. We met on the elevator sometime this evening. You seemed a little.."

"Out of it?"

"Yeah..if you don't mind me asking."

"It was nothing. I just didn't get my morning coffee."

"Boy. If that happens I hope you don't go drive in the mornings when your absent of your coffee." He chuckled, hoping she would as well. She only protruded a faint giggle from her lips.

This man was had quit the humorous charm. She was already growing to like this side of him. But she didn't appreciate the snoopiness aspect of his personality. "You know, since Mulder isn't here right now I could use some help alphabetizing these files."

"Sure thing." He walked over to the duffle bag and started to assist with the categorizing. A few times there hands touched just enough to send chills down each other's spines. It was strange. This, complete stranger making him feel, so, weird. He couldn't put his finger on it. He wanted to get to know her so much more. In time of course. They would spend the rest of today going over all the sheets of paper till Scully would sanction off to bed, leaving Doggett with the rest of the faculty.
