Part 20
"Agent Scully!" Skinner continues to yell. Finally he hears a weak voice say, "I'm here."
"We'll get him back. We just have to sit tight", says Skinner. "Call me if you need anything."
"Thank you Sir", says Scully getting up to hang up the phone. This was terrible. The time frame that Krycek has given is the same as how long the disk will last. If the disk was to crash before they released Mulder they may kill him for spite. "What have I done?", asks Scully to herself. She goes into the bedroom and lies down on the bed. She takes the ring in her hand and looks at it. She then puts it on her left finger. She wishes she could just outright wear it as it should be, but if someone asked about it she was bound to give it away. She sighs and then drops the ring to her chest. After a while she finally rolls over and goes to sleep. ****************
The next day Skinner has an early appointment with one of his newer agents, Craig Willmore. Skinner's secretary shows him in and he takes a seat.
"So, how do you like working here at headquarters?", asks Skinner.
"Its been great so far", says Willmore. He thinks to himself about all the boring background checks he has sitting on his desk downstairs.
"Well I was really impressed with your performance out in Seattle and then Alaska during the kidnapping of Agent Mulder. Thats why I asked that you be transferred here. You've got a lot of promise Willmore, so I have decided to assign you to the Violent Crimes Section."
"Thank you Sir. I hope I do you proud", says Willmore his face lighting up.
"Theres one more thing. As a Special Agent in that particular field its time to get you a new partner. I have someone who you should be able to work with. They are brand new out of the academy. Well, actually they had law enforcement in their background so they only got a crash course at Quantico, but I think it will work out just fine."
Just then Skinner's secretary walks in. "Your other agent has arrived", she says.
"Show her in", says Skinner getting up.
"Its a she", says Willmore whipping around in his chair. "I don't want no Scully/Mulder setup. I don't need any distractions in my work", says Willmore getting a little hot under the collar. Just then the his new partner walks through the door.
"Agent Willmore meet Agent Astadorien", says Skinner motioning to the woman who is now standing in front of Willmore. The two agents mouths hang open as they see each other.
