Scully and Mulder talked quietly in the hallway outside Stefanie's room. Mulder was still attempting to prove to Scully he was in love with only her and not any of the younger girls that had fallen out of a tree. Scully, still unable to piece together their story briskly told Mulder to shut up and figure out where they had come from instead.
"I don't know, Scullums," he paused briefly as she hit him for the second time that day, "all I could get out of them was 'follow the squirrels' and a hint of scheming."
"Right. So they were stalking us."
"Yes." Mulder appeared thoughtful for a moment.
"Although I think I should contact some people about this rodent conspiracy they speak of." Scully merely rolled her eyes and searched for her TUMS. As she neurotically dug through the container searching for a green tablet Mulder started smiling uncontrollably.
"Okay, Mulder, hand over the Listerine. That's enough," she said sucking on two antacid pills.
"You shot someone because they wanted me." He struggled to conceal a grin. Scully shot him a glance.
"Would you like to repeat that?" Mulder raised his voice now.
"You shot someone because thEY WANTED ME!" Scully looked even more annoyed, grabbing Mulder and hurriedly shoving him into Stefanie's hospital room as a nurse came to see what the commotion was about.
"Just remember that I still have my gun, Mister," she hissed. Looking to Stefanie she noted that she was still sleeping. Or unconscious. One of the two, but either worked. Grabbing Mulder by the tie she shoved him up again a wall.
"Eh. yes?" he squeaked quietly. She shook her head at him, squinting.
"You have some nerve, buddy," she unexpectedly leaned forward and kissed him passionately for a moment, then broke away, "and you have a very big mouth." Mulder nodded enthusiastically, confirming her last statement.
"I also have a very big-"
"Cough." The two FBI agents sprang away from each other, startled to see Stefanie staring at them intently. Ashley and Tanya came into the room and stared at Scully and Mulder.
"Well I wonder what THEY were doing," Tanya guffawed noticing Mulder's ruffled tie. Ashley leaned forward and whispered,
"The janitor's closet is right across the hall, you know." Mulder's stare moved to Scully.
"Uh, see you girls later." He walked toward the door, dragging Scully along with him as he went.
"Much." Scully added as she began shutting the door behind them. Ashley and Tanya innocently stood and smiled as they turned down the hallway. Ashley added some substance into Stefanie's IV, making her pass out once again and leave her rambling about Mr. Hot Pants behind. She then deftly picked her up and cautiously swung her over her shoulder. The threesome exited the hospital in pursuit of their two heroes.
