A/N: I had to change the rating because things to come will be rather suggestive. Thanks for the reviews. I really appreciate all of them.
Chapter 3
Two weeks later.
Mulder and Scully were working quietly at their desks completing more background checks and paperwork. The bullpen was empty with the exception of Agent Fritz sitting in the far corner.
Agent Fritz's phone rang and after a moment he stood up and walked over to Mulder's desk.
"AD Kersh wants to see you in his office," he said flatly.
Mulder looked up at him quizzically. "Just me?" He asked slightly confused.
"Both you and Agent Scully." He turned then and walked back to his desk.
Mulder and Scully stood from their desk and walked out to the elevator together. Mulder pushed the down button and looked over at Scully searching her face for some type of answer. She shrugged and took a deep breath.
When they entered Kersh's office, the man barely acknowledged their presence. Scully and Mulder settled themselves in the chairs directly in front of his desk. Mulder took a deep breath and mentally prepared himself for the ass-chewing he was certain he was about to get. After a few minutes of silence, Kersh finally looked up at the Agents and began speaking.
"As you well know, Agents Driscoll and Nester are in the field in Eastern Iowa/Western Illinois investigating a series of kidnapping cases. Based on information you provided in your behavioral profile, Agent Mulder, they have been developing viable leads on the kidnapper." He paused and stared at Mulder for a moment before continuing.
"This morning, they caught a break in the case when a 15 year old female turned up at a local hospital. She was badly beaten; however, alive, unlike the previous victims. Her story follows the pattern outlined in your profile."
Kersh stood from his desk and paced toward the window of his office. He stood for a few more moments saying nothing. "The Assistant Director of the Iowa field office has personally requested your assistance with this case. I was hesitant to agree to the request; however, the Deputy Director has put his stamp of approval on it." He turned, stepped over to his desk, and handed Scully the file brief.
"I should not have to remind you Agent Mulder, Agent Scully, you are still in your probationary period. Any disregard for policy and procedure will not reflect kindly in your file. Dismissed."
