It was now nearly 9:00 pm and Dana Scully had just stepped out of the shower when she heard someone knocking at her door. She didn't even bother checking to see who it was. As she opened the door she was made fully aware of the fact that she was wearing only a towel.
"I uh, sorry I can come back." Her appearance seemed to make Mulder a little hot under the collar. This made her smile a bit inside.
"No, its fine. Come in. I just tried to sneak in a shower." She walked back into the bathroom and put on her towel. Mulder turned on her TV and yelled to her from behind the bathroom door.
"I tried to take Megan back to her apartment, but when we got there it looked like someone had ransacked the place. I didn't feel comfortable leaving her there, so now she's staying in my room." As he finished Scully emerged from the bathroom.
"I also found more of this in her apartment." He fumbled through his pockets looking for the tissue he had used to gather some of the substance in.
"Damn, it must have fallen out of my pocket while I was helping Megan clean her place p a bit." Scully sat down beside him
"I got the results back from the lab and, I'm not really sure if this means anything. They are completely stumped as to what it is. All they know is that it is a highly electrified protein. They have no idea as to where it may have originated from." Scully fumbled through a stack of papers she had lied out on her bed.
"Scully don't you see, it's from the poltergeist." Mulder said as he took the papers out of her hands and placed them back on the bed.
"Mulder, if that is the case, we're not ghost busters. Plus, I haven't seen anything that has convinced me that what we're dealing with is paranormal." As he listened to her, Mulder grabbed a pillow and a blanked off of the bed and began setting up a spot on the floor where he could sleep.
"That's why I'm here Scully." He replied with a smile. He removed his shoes and jacket and placed them near the dresser. Scully watched him as he tried to make himself comfortable on the floor. She couldn't help but smile as he desperately tried to find the right position. Finally she gave in.
"Mulder, will you just get up here." She said with a smile. He looked up at her for a moment before he gathered the pillow and blanket.
"I told you, you missed me." He replied with a smile. He settled himself under the blankets and closed his eyes. Scully reached over him to turn off the light, not denying anything he had said. For a moment they lie on completely opposite side of the bed. Then at almost the exact same time they both inched closer to each other. He extended his arm to around her back and pulled her closer, she placed her hand on his chest. They both just lie there in silence for a while.
"I missed this." Mulder whispered into her ear as she drifted off to sleep.
"Agent Mulder, Agent Scully, please help me!" Both Agents jumped from there sleeping states when they heard Megan screaming from the other side of the wall. They both rushed out of their bed and to Megan's door. They were greeted by Reyes and Doggett who had gotten there first.
"I can't get the damn door open." Doggett yelled as her through his shoulder into the door repeatedly. Mulder joined in with him, and finally the door gave way. The room was completely dark, the shades had all been drawn and all of the lights turned off. Reyes turned on the lights immediately, but still Megan was no where in sight. Finally they heard a sobbing coming from underneath the turned over bed.
"I'm over here." Megan yelled to them from underneath the bed. Her voice was shaky and sobbing.
