CHAPTER 9
...
"You wanted to see me, Sir," Mulder said casually.
Kersh didn't respond however, he seemed to be in deep concentration.
"So why this place? Your office under construction?" Mulder questioned impatiently.
"Agent Mulder," he said with emphasis, almost with the tone of a television evangelist.
"You know why you're here," he stated in seriousness.
"Would you mind explaining for me Sir exactly what it is your implying?" Mulder was obviously disgusted with playing games. He'd pull his revolver out right now if he could.
"You killed your boss Mulder, and I'd like to know what your going to do about it." Mulder was furious at this. They were framing Scully and him, he knew it would happen.
"You think you can alter the evidence against me Kersh, but-"
"If you admitt to the charges now we'll go easy on you, Agent Mulder," he said with a ruthless compassion.
"Charges? Why? Because your framing me and Agent Scu-"
"I could see to it personally that you are not taken off of the X Files and that Agent Scully lives," he said, interrupting Mulder in a loud manner.
Now it was getting really personal.
He heard the clicking of heels against the metal floor and knew who was coming. He swiftly grabbed his gun out of it's holster, pointing it at Kersh feircely. "Put your hands up Kersh!" he yelled.
He could hear her coming nearer to him and he turned around slightly with a look of relief to see her. But she had her gun drawn as well- and it wasn't pointing at Kersh.
"Scully, what are you doing?" he pleaded with her.
"Mulder, put the gun down, I want to help," she said gently.
"Scully, he wants to kill you!" he explained. His eyes were now back on Kersh.
"I know what's going on Mulder, I know about Skinner. But I cant help you unless you let me." This time she was begging with her eyes.
"Scully, Kersh killed Skinner. I can't believe your denying what you know is the truth!" In his voice he had a feeling of betrayl. He was getting upset and too unpredictable for Scully to manage. She became harsh with him and her forhead crinkled up.
"Mulder- put the gun down or I'll be forced to shoot!"
Mulder was reluctant but at last put his gun away. Scully loosened up when he did this, and put her gun away. Kersh left promptly to guide the guards which Agent Patterson requested to come.
Scully got closer to Mulder. "We're going to take you in for further questioning," she said as calmly as possible.
"This is rediculous! What did they tell you?"
Scully needed to say something that would gain some of his trust for the time being so he would calm down and cooperate.
"I know you didn't do this, and we're going to prove it to them," she whispered to him fiercly with a piercing look of partnership in her eyes. Mulder saw right through it.
"If your trying to cover your own *ss on this Scully, don't bother. Regardless of what lies they are feeding you I didn't kill him and neither did you. I know what I saw, and thats less than you can say."
Scully looked at him shocked and a little hurt.
"The only *ss I'm trying to save is yours, now either you leave me help you or I'll have to use force," she scolded him.
But Mulder pulled out his gun before she could even blink.
"Keep your hands where I can see them," he warned her. "I didn't want it to have to come to this, but the only way we're going to get out of this alive is if you trust me. And if your not going to trust me, I'm going to have to force you to cooperate," he said in a serious yet somewhat sarcastic manner.
Did Mulder really have it in him to shoot her? She wasn't willing to take that chance. She cooperated and didn't make any sudden moves.
