Chapter 43 In the Thrones Of Despair
Salinas was extremely impressed with the manners of the humans having greeted him and his group.
And being inside agent Fox Mulder's house was really nice of them to serve refreshments. Salinas felt really gracious in regard to this greeting.
William wanted to thank Salinas for helping them out with the warp drive system with the trade. "I hope to god Salinas, you and your people didn't pay a fortune for the drive?" William says with sipping his mother's tea that was made by her.
"Lets just say that it was well worth it William. And I would be willing again to help you and your rebels. I know it's not been easy trying to avoid the enemy. We have done this a number of times during the past few years." Salinas says with taking a sip of his drink and food. Scully had made a chicken salad sandwich for everyone inside the house.
It was at this particular moment Salinas asked a question that really surprised Mulder and Scully. "Mulder and Scully, I have heard a great deal about your work with the X Files from your son William via sub-space chatter."
"Oh really! What else is on your mind Salinas?" Mulder asked with taking a sip of his Budweiser beer he took from the frig.
"I have discuss this with your son William. Would you and your wife be interested in coming abroad our vessel for a few weeks. There is plenty of room to have you bring your daughter Sandra. It will give you a chance to see the galaxy during that time. And maybe come about some of the alien races that helps us with the trading."
"Really! I just don't believe it. I would have to discuss it with my boss A.D. Skinner about it. Since it would mean leaving work for a few weeks. I will call him now at his office or home and tell him all about it."
"Of course Fox Mulder. But in the meantime I will have more of this drink and chicken salad." He said with a smile on his complexion.

A.D. Skinner having to be talking to agent Fox Mulder on the phone. He just couldn't believed his story in some ways.
"Ok Mulder since you asked me. I will come to your house to see first hand. I will be leaving my house with-in the next five minutes."
"Your very welcomed to join us for the flight. Unless your too scared like always when your on my son's space craft?"
"That would mean disappearing from this office for a few weeks, unless I put in the vacation time right now before coming to your house." He says to Mulder over the phone in his office having to be very quiet with everyone gone.
"Do what needs to be done Skinner. I will let Salinas know you will be here soon."
"Fine. See you soon Mulder." He hangs up the phone to start the paper work taking five minutes on the computer terminal and sending it to the director. Plus he left a note on his secretary's desk letting her know that he won't be around for two weeks.
Afterwards he left the building to head for his apartment taking ten minutes. Once arriving into his apartment with very little traffic. He grabbed his suitcase with placing items into it for the trip he's going to be taking.
"Don't worry Salinas. Walter Skinner will be here. He had to run to his apartment to pack his personnel belongings. He doesn't want to be walking around in his birthday suit." Mulder says for which Salinas didn't understand what he meant.
