Chapter 3
"I understand your point of view Agent Scully but Agent Mulder insisted, and he and I have a understanding of respect when it comes to his X Files," Agent Scully's boss Walter Skinner said to her on the phone later on that morning.
"I see," Scully said in disappointment. "But if you don't think there's a case then you can come straight back and leave Mulder to it. Or at least you could write up his case notes if that sounds okay to you," Skinner suggested. "No that's fine, Sir," Scully replied.
"I just wanted to check with you that Mulder is you know-," Scully trailed off, not knowing how to put it. "Taking his meds?" Skinner finished for her which made Scully grin. "Yeah, that's just what I told him this morning," she said. "Don't worry Scully I can assure you he has. Besides, it's been quiet down there hasn't it, and I think you guys need another X Files case to keep things going," Skinner told her.
"Yes Sir. I'll give it my best shot," Scully told him. "Good. Thank you Agent Scully. I hope the case will go well," he said, before Scully thanked him and they hung up.
Scully checked her watch. It was 10:30am and she had just over one and a half hours to go home and pack. Scully stood up and grabbed her things and left the office, locking the door behind her.
