Chapter 7 – Miss Bergan

Mulder's alarm went off at 7:00 a.m. He lazily rolled over and hit the thing until it stopped ringing. Then he got comfortable and went back to sleep. Scully glanced at him and sighed.

"Mulder!" He pulled the blankets over his head to drown out Scully's voice. She walked over to his bed and knelt down so she would be level with him. "Princess Mulder, wake up." He pulled down the blankets and glared at her.

"You shall die a slow and painful death," Mulder said, completely straight-faced.

"No, you will if you don't get your ass out of that bed and into that shower," she said, pointing. Mulder looked at her and climbed out of bed. She listened to the running water while she looked over Mulder's so-called case. It seemed to her that perhaps the police knew more than they let on to the principal. She decided to find out some information herself. She dialed the school's number. A pleasant voice answered.

"Miss Bergan's Schoolhouse for Children."

"May I speak to Scharlise Bergan, please?" Scully said, forcing the same cheer that the secretary had.

"Hold please."

A sterner sounding woman picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Scharlise Bergan, this is Agent Dana Scully with the FBI. I believe you contacted my partner about a homicide committed in your school."

"Actually I contacted him about eight murders, to exact. Why?"

"We are on our way to your school to ask some questions, so if you could make students aware of what's going on and keep them out of our way it would be much appreciated."

"Well, Agent Scully, my students will not be a problem. They know they will stay out of your way or they will be punished."

"Thank you. We will also have to question some students."

"That will be fine. I am very busy right now so if I can go..."

"Yes. Thank you for your time." Miss Bergan hung up before Scully could even say goodbye. She had seemed like a stuck-up, very rude woman, and Scully was not looking forward to meeting her.


Miss Bergan hung up from her talk with Agent Scully and redirected her attention to Libby.

"What did you think we were going to do? Let you go? You know what happens when you break the rules." Miss Bergan looked down upon Libby. Libby sat there silently. "Well?! Don't you?!"

"Yes, Miss Bergan. I will be punished," Libby said, quietly.

"Indeed you will. You are not to be running about before 7:00. It's the rules. DON'T break the rules." Miss Bergan's stern face became cold and heartless.

"Yes, Miss Bergan."

"So, how will I punish you?"

A/N: I'm sorry it's been so long since I've updated. I suddenly got a boyfriend and school started so I've been incredibly busy. And to my so few fans: I'm sorry I stopped writing. I hope you continue reading...I hope to have the next chapter up soon. To everyone else: Reviews are a wonderful thing that should be practiced as much as possible.
