Sir, What You've Done


"Can you hear me?"

"Mulder, is that you?"

Dammit, I've got her, and she thinks it's Mulder.  The closer 
I get to the elevators, the better I can hear her, but
she's having no success distinguishing it's me.

I've got her damn coordinates, now the hurdle's getting them
to her.

That look on her face when she left my office.  With a look 
like that, how could she have possibly thought I *wouldn't* 
help?  For her, I'd sell my soul gladly.  Uh. . .too late. 
I already have, and the Janus of a buyer's waiting for me 
in my office, wreathed in stale smoke.

"SCULLY!"

I'm standing at the elevator with her erratic voice in my 
ear, and she still without a clue that it's me, not *Mulder.*

My fist smashes into the shut two-leaved door, and, as though 
magically, its seemingly unyeilding seam splits.  The agitated 
stormer into my office with her 'come hell or high water' 
bearing is revealed.

My playing along, Scully, will save *all* our asses; Mulder's, 
mine, but most of all--yours.

"Is that you?" Scully wheezes into the cell phone, looking at 
me in shock.

"Is that you?" I bray back. I tumble into the elevator as the 
doors close.  "I got it."

Scully's face lights to an instensity she's never given me the 
privilege of seeing before this, as she swipes the crumpled 
chit from my hand and lunges at me with lips leading.

"*Sir, what you've done*!"

Her lips bang into mine.  I swear, time stands still.

Before I know what's hit me, and get to reciprocate, and I *do* 
want to reciprocate, the elevator doors fall away.  Our chance 
tryst between floors is on display for shifty eyes that shouldn't 
see.

I turn away to glare at her, then wink, and chew her ass out 
but good.  She does her damnest to tamp down the special smile 
she'll save for me some other time.
