Chapter 20th In The Thrones of Despair
F.B.I. Headquarters
A.D. Skinner's secretary Kimberly was having a hard time. Trying to gather up the troops. Ever since Skinner left the office to meet up with Agent Fox Mulder for special assignment.
Not did he go into any type of detail as to what type of assignment it would be. She was talking to the director on the phone. Trying to calm his fray nerves down for the moment.
He was talking to her as if she was a child of all things. Even though she was trying to steer clear with getting involved with his anger being expressed over the phone.
Or most of all his obsession in order to be rid of the agent. Because of his long association for when it comes to the X- Files department.
Kimberly had to compensate with listening to his temper tantrum for the final time. After telling the director that A.D. Skinner was out in the field with Agent Fox Mulder. And she wasn't going into any further details at this time.
"Sir I completely understand your orders. But it's going to be a total waste of time trying to contact them now with there cell-phones having to be shut off."
She would be trying to hold off her frustration. In order to keep a straight face with temper tantrum. And for a new director of the F.B.I., he certainly wasn't winning any brownie points with her or anyone else for that matter.
Any rate...
"See that you at least try your best Kimberly to contact them as soon as possible."
"I will try." She says rather slowly over the phone. Along with the fact she was trying to draw in a deep breath after trying to explain to the director.
However he was just too damn stubborn to listen to her or anyone else for that fact.
