Didn't recall it being mentioned during staff meetings. He'd even strained his memory for random conversations in the hallways or the men's room. All to no avail. Walter Skinner had absolutely no idea how he became the custodian of the X-Files division. And, by extension, the caretaker of Agents Mulder and Scully. Knew nothing until Section Chief Blevins casually stopped in to inquire how each half of the mismatched pair was adjusting. "Adjusting to what?" Skinner had asked absently. "Their new assignment together." "How should I know?" Skinner continued searching for a missing report. "Walter, they're your agents. I would think you'd take an interest in their activities, as their success or failure will reflect on you." "=My= agents?" Skinner finally looked up, but Blevins was already gone. Oh, well. A division of only one partnership. How much trouble could it be to supervise them? End Author's notes: I don't think anyone ever did explain how Skinner became their boss in the first place.
