PART 2
Scully was half angry with herself for even considering it. Diana Fowley was dead. She was murdered; it was not at all plausible that she could have been the one calling Mulder.
As she went to Skinner's office she pushed the nagging phone call to the back of her mind. She'd soon see Mulder and sort the whole thing out. She wouldn't let him get out of it this time. She went to Skinner's office smiling at Kim as she went past. Kim shot up and stood in her way.
"Sorry, I have been given express orders that you are not to disturb assistant director skinner until he's finished in his meeting."
"But I've arranged to speak with him."
"I'm sorry Agent Scully, but I can't let you in." Scully looked at her scowling. Her day was going from bad to worse. But she and Mulder had never listened to Kim before, why start now. She pushed open Skinner's door to see what this sudden important meeting was all about.
"Mulder?"
"Scully, I, er, what are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here? What are you doing here! I thought you had somewhere better to be than the FBI building, you couldn't escape quick enough when I arrived this morning."
"Excuse me agents, I don't have time for this. Agent Mulder I trust we're done with this?"
"Yes sir. Thank you for your help." Mulder walked straight passed Scully without even a glance, or one word of explanation. She followed him out and shouted him back.
"Scully, I gotta run."
"Oh yeah? A man about a dog?"
"Exactly." He turned around and tried to escape Scully's questions, he should have been used to her quizzing him by now. But this time it was different.
"Mulder you are not going anywhere until you tell me what the hell's going on!"
"What are you talking about Scully?"
"You had a phone call. From a woman that wouldn't give her name, but told me to think like I'd told her to think." Mulder avoided eye contact with Scully; he had to get out of this but had no idea how. If he involved Scully in what he was doing, she could get hurt, again.
"Are you saying you find it hard to believe that a woman would want to call me Scully?"
"No Mulder I am not saying that at all."
"Good, end of discussion. Call me if you find anything strange with that case file."
"Mulder damn it just talk to me!! It was her wasn't it? It was her after I was told she was dead."
"Who?"
"Mulder don't play the smart ass here. You know me better than that. So don't try me."
He sighed and took hold of her arm, they went into the elevator and he pressed the arrow for down. When they reached the basement he carried on pulling her along to his office.
"Mulder could you please let go of me, I have legs I can find my way without you dragging me around!" He sat her down in the chair and locked the door.
"Ok Scully, here it is. Yes, that was Diana Fowley."
"Muld..."
"Wait, before you judge this whole situation with your opinions on her and your lack of trusting, remember who led you to me. you said she helped you, it was her just as much as you that saved me."
"Well, I was emotional, I said things in the heat of the moment, and I still think she's, well you know what I think."
"Yeah I do. But she's very alive, and very in need of my help. That's all I can tell you."
"What do you mean that's all you can tell me? Mulder!"
"Scully, I have to go! Carry on with that case, you're doing great."
"Mulder!" He was gone. Again he left her wanting more answers to the questions that were piling up in her mind.
"Well, I wish she was dead." She stood up and slammed the door shut behind him.
"Agent Scully I'm surprised at you..." She turned around and before she could respond to her new company she was flat on the floor out cold...
