CH.10***A souvenir***
Mulder examined the hole with his flashlight as Scully called the sheriff.
"Hey sheriff?" Scully spoke into her cell.. "Yeah, we're over by lake Monroe. There's been another sighting of the, uh, the gnome." Scully sighed hesitantly.
"Um, Christina- didn't get a last----
Before Scully could finish, she screamed in excruciating pain and dropped her phone and fell to the dirt.
"MULDER!" she yelled.
Mulder raced over to her and attached to her leg was a gnome. Mulder pried it from her leg and bit down on to his hand. Mulder shrieked like a girl as he shook his hand furiously trying to free himself from the locked-jaw grip of the thing. Scully pulled out a can of mace from her pocket and sprayed it all over it. It released Mulder and fell to the floor and let out pained squeals as it scurried into the hole.
Scully and Mulder panted heavily as they stained the dirt with the gushing blood falling from their wounds. The sheriff came pulling up with his lights and sirens blaring on his pick up. He yelled for his deputy to call an ambulance when he saw Scully's pant leg and Mulder's hand covered in blood.
************************************************************* Scully limped out to the waiting room of the hospital where Mulder sat with his hand bandaged.
"Twelve stitches." Scully said as she sat down next to him. "What's wrong?" She asked as she examined his disappointed expression.
"Other than the hole in my hand and in your leg, they had a team go out and drop explosives down the hole." He frowned.
Scully tilted her head to illustrate she didn't follow.
"They found daggers and little body parts in pieces after the explosion."
"Well, I guess that means we can go home then-" She said unsure of Mulder's frustration.
"Yeah, but I wanted to dangle one in front of your face." He joked.
"I had one take a decent chunk out of my leg Mulder." She rolled her eyes not seeing the humor.
"I wanted to catch one so bad." He admitted.
"Here's a souvenir for you then." She reached into her pocket and placed a red dunce hat into his palm and stood.
"Let's go Mulder." She smiled.
