I called Skinner while Scully sat down on the couch. She had a cup of tea in her hands but she was just staring forward as if she couldn't feel, say, or think anything. I hated seeing her like that. I hated watching her pull herself apart inside, and I new that's what she was doing.
"Yes sir, we didn't see who it was. What we were doing?... uh... we were... just having some desert, it was right after dinner. Yes sir, of course sir. Okay, bye now."
"What'd he say?"
She was still sitting there, hadn't moved at all except her mouth.
"He said that it was probably..."
"We know who it was god damn it!"
She had jumped to her feet and was looking at me with eyes of fire.
"Damn it Mulder how could we let this happen!?"
"How could we let this happen? Scully we didn't let anything happen. We didn't wave William in the air and say come at get it. We didn't give him away god damn it! We care about him too much to do that!"
I saw the sting in her eyes. I screamed it before I even thought about what it was that I screamed.
"Well I did give him away Mulder! I gave away our son and aperently you think that means I don't care about him! Well I'm sorry I don't care about him as much as you do!"
She ran down the hall and slammed the door behind her as I slipped down the hall and it finally dawned on me that all in one night my entire life, and family just fell apart in front of me.
