He was making sure that he had all of his belongings he's going to be needing for at least two weeks. Even though he had sent in the paper work into his director for the two weeks.
One thing for sure. He's going to be hanging out with agent Fox Mulder and his wife Dana Scully. And if he doesn't get moving to head for Mulder's house. They would be leaving without him.
