X Files: Missing Doggett
Chapter 2
"Mulder, have you been taking your meds?" Scully asked after she had read the file. "Come on Scully, you know I don't take meds. They're bad for me," he told her with a raised eyebrow as he rolled his sleeves up.
"But Mulder, this is hardly an X File. You know I don't believe in werewolves," she told him. "It's not a warewolf, Scully," Mulder corrected her. "It's that Legend in Dartmoor, England, you know, the one where a pair of hairy hands grabs your steering wheel and forces you off the road?" he asked.
Scully rolled her eyes. "That's just a legend as you said, Mulder," she told him as she shut the file and placed it back on Mulder's desk. "You're not even in the least bit interested?" Mulder asked in disappointment. "No, frankly, I'm not," Scully said as she sat back down in her chair. "I don't know about you, but I for one am not going to go on a crazy wild goose chase to England," she said.
"Wild wolf hands chase you mean," Mulder said lightly which made Scully frown at him. "Come on, Scully. It'll give us a chance to work together again as a team for when we get other X Files. This X File, Skinner said, had enough connections between eye witness accounts-,"
"Drunk eye witness accounts," Scully corrected him. "Enough accounts for it to warrant a full investigation," Mulder argued. Scully sighed. Once again Mulder was single minded and she knew he'd never stop once he got like this.
"So, are we going?" Mulder asked her hopefully. Scully saw the helpless look and rolls her eyes. "Okay, okay, we'll go but after I call Skinner and check he wants us to go," she told him, which made Mulder grin. "Great. Get ready Scully and make the call by noon, I've booked us two tickets to England on a 2pm flight," Mulder said as he handed her her plane ticket.
Scully gave him a look. "After all that time you assumed I would be going, didn't you?" she asked. Mulder shrugged. "You're my partner on the X Files. It's our duty to go, right?" He asked a little defensively. Scully said nothing as she was too tired to have this argument again.
"All right. I'll get ready for you. Excuse me while I make the call," she told him, and Mulder nodded before grabbing his jacket and left the office.
