I do not own the X-Files show
I'm not Chris Carter, don't ya know
The characters aren't mine, you see
Fox lawyers, please just leave me be.

My link to the show? I've none!
To the network? Not a one!
This I've said, and now I'm through;
This that you already knew.

If this story pleases you
Please tell me so in a review
I hope my writing makes you happy
It hope it is, in no way, crappy

If you think this story lame
and that I ought to feel shame
for writing it, please tell me so
My feelings won't be hurt, you know

Chapter 1: "I got something to say,"

Skinner sat behind his desk
Well organized; t'was not a mess
Across the room, two leather chairs
But Scully, only, sitting there

He looked angry, she annoyed
The small-talk that they both employed
passed time, and made it somewhat pleasent,
Until her partner could be present

"Late again, he always is"
He said (and he was clearly pissed)
"I'm sure he has a good excuse"
She said (though doubting her words' truth)

Then at the door, they saw him standing
and heard his voice (it was commanding)
"Did you wish to see me, sir"
"Come in and sit down next to her"

The meeting got right down to business
One man dead, and not one witness
"There's nothing odd in that, you see"
Said Fox, "That's not my cup of tea"

"But I have not yet said my all",
Said Skinner (certainly appalled
at Mulder's graceless, mindless drivel.
He went on, trying to be civil).

"It sounds just like a normal crime,
One hardly worthy of your time
Except for just one detail, minor,
in how all of this transpired"

"In LA at 8:05
the man was very much alive
and seen making a cash withdrawal
at a bank at 5th and Wall"

"At 8:15 the man was found
lying face down on the ground
right next to a garbage bin
In Milwaukee, Wisconsin"

"What you've said cannot be true"
by plane, or train, or a canoe
they'd never get so far so fast"
Said Scully when she spoke at last

"I think I may enjoy this case",
said Fox (a smile upon his face)
"Either way, its yours to solve"
Said Skinner with a strong resolve.

Scully sighed in resignation
"No point in further contestation"
She thought as she walked out the door
angry, staring at the floor.

What I've written here you've read
and that 'I thank you' should be said
And so, so knowing, so I do
Give my hearty thanks to you.

Please bear with me, slightly longer
Critique my work, that I may ponder
What you think and what you say
And finish this some other day.
