We just came back from our meeting with Skinner. Scully called it 'Folie A Deux', a madness shared by two. Okay, so how come I feel like I'm the only one? Sure, Scully believes that I saw something, hell, even she saw something, but I know Scully. She's going to need more proof even if she sees it with her own eyes.
Well, I guess I should explain who I am. I'm Fox Mulder. I work for the FBI in a very small divison called The X-Files. These cases deal with the paranormal. Dana Scully is my partner and Walter Skinner is our boss. We were asked on a case a few weeks ago. Gary Lamber believed his boss, Pincus, was a monster. Naturally, Skinner wanted me on the case. I proceeded to tell Scully not to come with me because more than likely this was a jerk off assignment.
Damn, was I wrong!
The day I went to talk to Pincus, Lambert decided to hold everyone in the office hostage. He then told everyone that Pincus was a monster that "hid in the light". Well, all hell broke loose and a SWAT team came barreling in, shooting Lambert in the process. Looking up, I say that Pincus had changed into some sort of bug creature. Lamber said to me, '"Now you know.'"
Needless to say, I went on a rampage trying to prove this was all true. Skinner got tired of it all and had me committed into a damn mental hospital! Scully didn't know what to say or do. I really thought she should have seen it coming.
Everything is remotely back to normal and Pincus is off working somewhere else, I believe. What Scully doesn't realize is that I'm really shaken up about the fact that I was committed. It was so hard to lie in that bad and hear the only person you trust not believe you. Oh, she tries, God knows she tries. But, I get the feeling she's tired of trying and that one day she'll just stop and I'll die.
I look at Scully, she's sitting at the computer, typing furiously at yet another case file. Doesn't she know what's happening to me? Maybe I should really be in that hospital! Maybe I should quit. I want to reach out to her, but I can't. I don't want her to think I can't handle things on my own. What am I saying? I can't! I'm about to get her attention when she gets up and sits across from me. "Mulder, is there something wrong? You've been staring off into space for about a half hour."
"I don't feel complete right now, Scully. I feel like something was taken from me," I told her. "It's not fun knowing you were in a mental hospital."
"Oh, Mulder, why didn't you tell me?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "I didn't want you to worry." That wasn't true, I wanted her to fuss over me. No one ever fussed over me, not even my parents. Scully walked around the desk and gave me a hug.
It was nice to feel complete again.
