Sir, What You've Done
by Sue



"Can you hear me?"

"Mulder, is that you?  Where are you?"

Dammit, I've got her, and she thinks it's Mulder.
The closer I get to the elevator, 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 possibly
think I *wouldn't* help?  I've always been there
for them, despite their doubts.  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 suddenly, as though magically, its seemingly
unyielding 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 halved doors clasp closed.  "I
got it."

Scully's face lights up to an intensity she's
never bestowed upon me the privilege of seeing,
before this, as she swipes the crumpled chit
from my hand, and lunges at me with lips leading.
She shakes me with all her might, and that's
considerable.

"*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 from the suspicious congregation of
whisperers in the hallway and glare at her, then
wink.  I make it sound authentic, and chew her ass
out but good.  She follows my lead, and does her
damnest to tamp down that special smile that she'll
save for me some other time.
