Gil Grissom observed the two agents in the doorway, reading their expressions. The tall man who had spoken smiled at him, he seemed professional, yet approachable. The short red head on the other hand seemed reserved and possibly mad about something. Her body language of crossed arms, and a neutral expression suggested that she didn't want to be in his office.
"Yes I'm Gil Grissom" he finally answered.
"We've been sent to help you out on the abduction case your currently working on" Mulder continued.
"It's not an abduction case Agent Mulder, it's a disappearance, and I can assure you that my team and I are perfectly fine working this alone."
"Not an abduction case? I've read the case file, and the markings on the body would suggest otherwise."
"I am saying that the case is that of disappearances connected to a possible serial killer. The markings are as of now, the killer's MO. I don't know what type of abduction you are referring to. What exactly do you specialize in Agent Mulder?"
"The paranormal. The markings on your victims bodies are ones similar to those we've seen on previous cases."
Grissom was temporarily stunned. He gaped at the man trying to comprehend what he had just heard. There was a division of the FBI dedicated to the paranormal? These agents thought his case actually had something to do with aliens? He wasn't exactly sure how to respond to this situation.
"The paranormal?" Grissom repeated, still flabbergasted by what he had heard. He noticed then how uncomfortable the female agent looked. She seemed almost embarrassed by her partner. However, her partner didn't even flinch, and continued on with an explanation.
"My partner and I work with cases that are deemed unexplainable, and we classify them as X-files. We've been doing this for about six years now. You'd be surprised how many cases we actually get."
Grissom still couldn't believe his ears. When he had recovered his voice he responded,
"Agent Mulder, I can assure you there is nothing supernatural about this case. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I don't think we'll be needing your help."
"I'm sorry you don't think you need us, but if you don't mind, as we do have permission to be here, my partner and I will still be taking a look at this case."
Grissom didn't like this at all. He stood up and was about to ask the agents for their supervisors number, when the red head finally spoke up.
"Mr. Grissom, we're sorry to drop in on you unexpectedly and I assure you we're not here to take over. All we want is to help develop some insight into this case before someone else goes missing. We will try to stay out of the way of your team, and if we don't find anything that we can help you with in the next twenty four hours, I can guarantee you that we will leave."
Grissom listened to her and her terms, and decided that if they were only here for a short time, he could deal with them. Something about Agent Scully reassured him that she would keep her part of the deal, and that he should talk to her, not her partner.
"Alright" he answered, already regretting his decision.
