Toll-House Cookies Part Two Chapter Four
A.D. Skinner was just about ready to leave his office. When he received the phone call about another child abduction. It would seem that Elvis Costello just might be involved. This time Skinner was able to slam his hand down onto the desk. Causing him to wince in pain from his anger.
He'd no choice in the matter to call Agent Fox Mulder. Since he was down stairs in his office cleaning up his files. While his partner Dana Scully is supposed to be operating on a new Stem Cell patient at the hospital. Given to her only a few days earlier.
No doubt when she hears all about the new case. She is going to want to be all involved once she is finished with the surgery.
Hopefully successful since she and other specialists had tried other options. Even the parents were doing this type of surgery.
It's mostly out of desperation for there daughter Maria age nine years...Along with the fact it was very costly. Even though the mother had said that money wasn't the issue at this point.
The same can be said in regard with the father. He just needed his daughter still around for when it comes to the holidays for the most part.
And Scully was still working with the patient. As of this time.
She'd a number of issues that had to be dealt with during the operation. One of them was the fact Scully didn't realize just how much bleeding was involved. She had to asked for helped in order to stop before the patient died right on the table.
Along with the facts of not giving her the chance to live a proper life overall.
Otherwise Dr. Scully clearly stated to the other doctors. She didn't wish to see her patient lose ground. When in fact she and the others were able to stop the bleeding before more damage was done to the brain and other parts of her body.
When Scully looked over at the life support device. She was able to say something quickly. "Thank god!" While telling the back-up doctors she was about ready to close.
Even though she was going to order the trauma teams inside ICU to be very watchful for any tale signs of coming around or for the worst.
Afterwards.
It's going to give her the time in order to call her partner/husband on what exactly has been going on with the likes of Elvis Costello.
Once she was able to arrive into her office at the hospital. She basically was able to tell the minute she called Mulder at the X- Files department. That something surely was wrong with the tone of his voice.
After she was able to explain what had happened at the hospital. She needed to check in with ICU before she was able to join him on the abduction.
He agreed for the best. Including with the facts with even A.D. Skinner would be joining in on the investigation with his blessings from the new director of the F.B.I.
Before she was able to end the phone call with Mulder. She asked him on whether or not it was wise for the director to join in on the team. "Do you think it's wise Mulder at this particular time?"
"You made a validated point Scully. But I rather like to see more people on the case. In order for everyone to cover more ground this way. In order to find the victim." His tone was one of silence for the moment before Scully would be able to end the call...
