Well after hours of siting and listening to boring lectures in class I came up with another on. The U2 Files - Love is Blindness case number 97040.3 The U2 Files Love is Blindness They sat in the car in silence. It was killing him. Mulder hated silence. He hated stakeouts. The only thing that made this bearable was the fact that his partner was siting next to him. He looked over at her. Mulder hoped that she had forgiven him from the last case they worked on. Danny had come through with the tickets. His only problem was how he was going to give them to her. Dana Kathrine Scully was a sleep on his shoulder. He felt a little puddle on his shoulder and tried to move without waking her. As soon as he moved Scully woke up. "What?" She yawned. "You were drooling again." "Sorry Mulder." She wiped the side of her mouth. "I'm used to women drooling when I'm around. Although they are normally awake when they do." Scully just rolled her eyes. "Did I miss anything?" "Well I had stripper here. Hope we didn't wake you." "Mulder." She really was in no mood. She had her period and didn't feel all that great. "I need to use the bathroom. There was a place about a half an hour walk from here. Do you want me to get you anything?" "A blond, brunette, and a redhead. Well no. I already have you just a blond and a brunette." She just left. As she walked she wondered why everything with him had to be a sexual kind of joke. About an hour later she returned. "Did I miss anything?" "Well let's see. Oh, Brown and Maners came by wanting to know if we needed relief. I told them that we would beokay for a little longer and that you just went to get some more condoms for us because I ran out." "Whatever, I got you an iced tea." "You know what I like." Mulder leered at her. She handed him the can. He took it and picked up the magazine he was reading. "Mulder, can I ask you a question." "Shoot." "Why do you read those magazines?" "Well see the thing is I don't have much of a life. My life is my work. And at work I don't get any." Scully was taken aback. "So, until you start laying me, I have to read these magazines." Mulder looked over at his partner and imediatly regreated those words. "Look Scully. I'm sorry. I was joking." "Bull shit Mulder." she picked up her cell phone. "Hey Maners, can you come releive us. I'm not feeling that great. I think I got the flu." "Of course Agent Scully." And she hung up. "Scully-" "Don't talk to me you obnoxious pig. I've dealt with your sexual innuendoes for long enough. Tonight you went to far. I hope you know by tomorrow morning you will be facing a sexual harassment suite." "I'm sorry. If they bothered you so much you should have told me. I would have stopped." He said sincerely. "You really are a fucking bastard. For someone so smart you can be really stupid. Don't you notice the looks I give you. How about just ignoring the comments. I do have a sence of humor. I could come up with a few too." "Scu-" "Don't talk to me. There's Manners. Take me home." They sat in silence until they reached Scully's home. Fox felt like such an ass. He loved her, but she never got the hints. He tried in subtle ways to get her to notice. It never worked. Tonight he tried the other end of the spectrum and it backfired into his face. He walked into his appartment cursing. Her head was swiming when she got back. She just wanted to kill the SOB. 'Calm down Dana. Put the radio on, take a shower then rethink this.' She told herself. Scully went to the bathroom and started to run a bubble bath for herself and turned on the radio. She then undressed and settled into the tub. Soon she was relaxed and humming to the music. Familiar music started to play. U2. His favorite band. She started to get tense. She liked them a little too. But it all he played at times. She would have gotten up to change it but was too comfortable. Soon the words started. Love is blindness I don't want to see won't you wrap the night around me take my heart love is blindness. In a parked car In a crowded street you see your love made complete thread is ripping the knot is sliping love is blindness. Love is clockworks and cold steel fingers too numb to feel squeeze the handle blow out the candle Love is blindness Love is blindness I don't wantto see won't you wrap the night around me oh my love blindness A little death without mourning no call and no warning baby . . . a dangerous idea that almost makes sense. Love is drowning in a deep well all the secrets and no one to tell take the money honey blindness Love is blindness I dont want to see won't you wrap the night around me oh my love blindness. As the song ended Scully became numb. That song just described her partner. The darkness and the secrets and everything. She now understood why he liked the group. Maybe he said those things in the car because he loves me. Like that paragraph "In a parked car in a crowded street you see your love made complete." Dana shook her head and got out of the tub. As she made her way to the kitchen she noticed a white envelope slipped under her door. She went over to see it. Inside was a ticket to the U2 Pop concert with a note. Dear Dara, I'll go to the concert "With or Without You". But you are the only "One" I want to go with. -Fox Scully went over to her cd collection and pulled out the Joshua Tree. ~!~!~!~!~!!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!!~!~!~!~!~!~!
