Scully woke up to see AD Skinner pacing around the room talking to him
self.
"I told then NOT to tell her again even if she asked! I told them how she would react! Well now I have to.unless she remembers."
Scully sat up on her bed and leaned against the headboard. She brought her knees to her chest and crossed her ankles. Skinner looked up noticing movement.
"Agent Scully."
"I remember... I know he's gone."
Tears began to silently slip out of her eyes.
"Actually...that's not all."
Scully looked up and Skinner and he could see the questions in her eyes.
"Well they..they think you did it.."
Scully's eyes grew wide.
"What! I would never!"
"I know. Agent Scully let me assure you I don't believe any of it. But..."
"But what?"
"But you did have a fight with him right before his disappearance."
"YOU BELIVE IT TOO! YOU THINK I MURDERED HIM! I WOULD NEVER!"
Scully began to cough and found it hard to breathe. She stumbled to the bathroom and found herself giving up her dinner from last night. She fell to the floor and curled up in a ball leaning against the wall. Her shirt and cheeks were soaked with tears and still more were coming.
"I would never...I couldn't...no matter how mad he's ever made me...I never even considered it."
Scully looked up at Skinner with blood shot eyes and a tear stained face. Skinner looked down at her and saw how deep her pain ran.
"Of course not."
Scully was glad someone believed her. Skinner saw her pain was deeper than Mulder but she didn't know to what. Scully turned her head and lost some more of the dinner Skinner had forced her to eat. Just then there was a knock on the door.
It was the police.
"Dana Scully you're under arrest for the murder of Special agent Fox Mulder. You have the right to remain silent and if you refuse that right anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law."
