Scully jumped into her cars and thrust her keys into the ignition with so
much force that her hand slipped off and she smacked the side of the
steering wheel.
"DAMN IT! See what I go through for you Mulder?" Violently, she turned the key in the ignition and was met with the pleasant thrumming of the engine. About to pull away from the curb, she realized that she had forgotten to put on makeup, and that she was going to be on camera. She also chose to completely ignore the fact that she was indeed the one who had gotten the two of them into the situation.
Leaping from the car, she bolted up the stairs to her apartment, as if she was chasing a perp. Finding her seldom used makeup bag, she grabbed it, sending a tube of lipstick spinning into the bathtub. What had possessed her to buy 'Perfect Coral' in the first place? Like Mulder, she berated herself (but didn't spend long minutes harping on it) and got back in the car.
Luckily, she got four red lights on the way to Mulder's apartment, allowing her enough time to perfect her cosmetic coup. She admired her hasty job in the rearview mirror, catching the eye of the man in the car behind her, who was giving her the finger. She realized that the light was green and stepped on the gas, giving the man the finger as he sped by on her right.
She pushed the car to seventy, speeding in the right lane, and flicking the radio on. She wondered for a moment why she was so upset with herself. Her thoughts melted away as she began to singing along to 'If I Had A Million Dollars' and she bobbed her head as she weaved in and out of lanes of traffic. Her government stickers allowed her to get away with driving the way she did.
It took her only forty minutes to arrive at Mulder's. Though it took her twenty to get up the nerve to walk to the door and knock.
