It took three separate knocks from Mulder to fully awaken Scully from her slumber. She sat up in bed and looked at the clock. The red numbers stared back at her, 4:30. She groaned and got out of bed. She looked out of the peep hole, even though she already knew who it was.
"Mulder, it's 4:30 in the morning! This better be good."
"It is, it is. There's another victim in the case. Only this one was found fast enough that an autopsy can still be done. That's where you come in."
"Thanks. So...I guess you want me ready now?"
His only response was a smirky smile. She sighed and stood aside so that he could enter. As she shut the door she gasped slightly and grabbed her back. Mulder rushed to her side. "Scully what's wrong?"
"Nothing. I'm fine. I think I just slept on my back wrong."
"Ok..."
He didn't really believe her, but he knew better than to push. She gestured to the bed to offer him a seat. She grabbed some clothes out of her bag and went in the bathroom to change. When she was undressed she looked at herself in the mirror. She had been gaining weight lately, and she had no idea why. No one else could notice it, but it still bothered her. She finished getting dressed and exited the bathroom. She slipped on her heels, clicked of the TV, grabbed her coat and purse and exited the hotel room. Mulder watched her go for a minute, but his gaze was a bit low. He finally got up and shut and locked the door.
A.N: Ok I know it's short, but it's just the first chapter…..please review!
