A Hospital in Telluride Colorado
"You're partners should be fine in a couple of days, Agent Doggett," said the doctor looking over the chart. "I wouldn't suggest flying anywhere for at least a week or so."
"I'm afraid that's not going to possible Doctor Renald," replied Doggett. "We're need to fly back to Washington by the end of the week. What are the medical dangers for them if they do?"
"Monica suffered only some minor injuries, there shouldn't be any problem with the air pressure other than the usual discomfort. If need be I would allow her to fly, provided the last set of tests come back all right."
"And what about Scully?"
"We're still worried about her head injury. We're not sure how the additional pressure caused by flying will affect her condition. I wouldn't take the chances, sir, if I were you." The doctor stopped to check his now sounding pager before finishing. "I have an emergency I need to take. We can continue this conversation after I get the last set of test results back."
Doggett sat down on the bench, defeated. He was taken out of his daze when Skinner placed his hand on his shoulder. "I take it we're not going anywhere anytime soon?" he asked.
"It doesn't appear that way sir," replied Doggett. "They don't want Scully to fly because of her head injury. And I don't want to disagree with them on this one."
"Neither do I, Doggett, but we do need to get back as soon we can. And I don't intend on leaving her here."
"I wasn't planning on that either sir, but it appears that we have no solution to either side of this problem, now do we?"
"I'm going to go make some calls... see what I can do."
