Scully walked in carrying two cups of coffee, a bag of doughnut holes for Mulder, and a bagel with cream cheese (the real stuff) with her and said hi to Mulder who was obviously waiting for her arrival.
"What you got there Scully?" Mulder asked. "Breakfast." Was her reply.
"What do you have for me?" Asked Scully, hoping what she thought was the right answer.
"Everything from the attempted robbery yesterday, notes, statements, and video?"
First they looked at the footage from the news camera. "Where is she?" Scully asked. "Who?" "Oh, a woman I bumped into the store yesterday, just before the gunman showed up." "Oh," interjected Mulder, "the gunman has a name, Jason Stevens, three priors for possession and mugging. But back to what you were saying. Who was the girl?" he said quickly getting back to the subject.
"I don't know who she was, I just know she was there. She couldn't have left before the gunman came because we were at the back of the store and he came in *just* as I had gotten into the dressing room. Plus, she had a dress she was either buying or putting back."
"Let's keep watching and let me know if you see her." Mulder said. They watched all of the footage and the girl was nowhere to be seen.
"All right, so let's check the security footage and see if we can spot her." Scully said.
"The store, unfortunately, only had one security camera at one angle but it should be enough." Mulder informed Scully. They popped in the tape and fastfowarded the tape to when the clock said ten A.M.
They watched and it showed people walking around looking at clothes and Mulder fastfowarded it a little further until Scully yelled, "Stop!" He pushed play and rewound it a little based on the hand signals he was receiving from Scully.
"There I am," said Scully, "and that's me bumping in to the girl I was talking about." Mulder paused the tape and looked at the girls face, *not bad* he thought. "Play it and see where she goes." commanded Scully. Mulder obeyed. The girl walked over to the rack where her dress was from and that's when Jason walked in. The girl hid in a clothing rack halfway in the store. Easy access to the door and dressing rooms. The video then shows Scully loosing her gun and going back to retrieve it and the man loosing his gun and being thrown against the wall. Then the girl comes out of the clothing rack and runs out the door.
"She ran!" Scully said. "Why would she have any reason to run?"
"That's why they put the "i" in FBI" Said Mulder. A phrase he's used before.
"I'll have her photo printed up and see if we can't find out who she is. When we *do* find out who she is we'll pay her a visit to find out why she ran."
