This is an extremely short chapter, everyone. Sorry about that, but…shrugs lol What could I do? I love keeping you all in suspense.

--------------------

Mulder kept driving, deep in thought. Scully glanced up at him a few times, but he was completely oblivious.

The four walked into Director Kersh's office 45 minutes after Scully got the call.

"You're late." He barked. Mulder looked down; the girls looked at each other with wide eyes, and Scully looked directly at Kersh.

"I know, Sir, and I apologize. But I did tell you that we were a little farther away than our apartments." Scully justified.

"I don't care if you were on the moon, Agent Scully. I don't." He looked at the girls standing behind his most troublesome duo. "That's them?" Scully and Mulder nodded. "I remember hearing about you two."

Chardonnay and Honoria grimaced, not saying anything. They looked up at Scully.

"Sir, with everything going on, I feel it's appropriate that I talk to you alone." Mulder said, looking up.

"Mulder, are you sure?" Scully asked, lowering her voice. He nodded.

"Okay, Agent Mulder, I'll take that. Agent Scully, will you please take…them…out into the hallway and wait?" Kersh asked.

Scully couldn't believe how Kersh was treating the girls. She scowled at him. "Yes, Sir, but don't expect them back in your office if you're going to treat them as criminals."

With that, Scully took the girls by the hand, and lead them out in to the hallway.

Kersh shrugged off Scully's statement. "What did you want to say, Agent Mulder?"

"I wanted to say that I've caught on, Sir."

"I'm sorry, Agent. I don't see what you're getting at."

"Don't you? You set it all up!" Mulder raised his voice.

Out in the hallway, it was hard to understand what was being said through the thick door. But, being at the Bureau for as long as she has been, Scully's ears could easily pick apart the muffles, and she couldn't believe what was being said by her partner.

"Agent Mulder! If you are saying that I have set this up--"

"That is exactly what I'm saying, Sir! I know where you go every few months of your days off, I know what you planned, I know why you put a new agent on the case, and I know why you even set it up in the first place." Mulder's voice was loud at the beginning of the statement, but had gotten lower towards the end, as he was speaking through his gritted teeth.

"Do you now, Agent Mulder?" Kersh looked at him with hard eyes.

------------------------------

"Girls, why don't we go and get something from the break room. Are you thirsty?"

"A little." Honoria said.

"Dana, who was yelling?" Chardonnay asked.

"Nobody, Chardonnay. They were just…reviewing a copy of Everybody Loves Raymond for a possible plot against the government."

"Are you sure? Cos I didn't see a TV in there." She asked.

"Well no, but there's always a chance."

"Were they yelling because of that man's trips to Sir and Miss' house?" Honoria asked.

Scully stopped in her tracks, and pulled the girls into an empty wing of the multi-story building. "What are you talking about, Honoria?"

"He would come to Sir and Miss' house every once in a while. We've seen him there. I think Sir and Miss worked for him."

Scully was now putting it all together. Her jaw dropped. She was furious. No, she had skated right passed furious and was now at royally pissed off. Scully flew off around the corner. Realizing she had left the girls, she peeked around the corner again. "Come on, we're going back."

The girls followed her as fast as they could back to Kersh's office, and Scully threw open the door. It hit hard against the wall, leaving a hole from the doorknob. "Who in the hell do you think you are!"
