�You!?� she yelled at the Cigarette Smoking man �you should be dead, you bastard! What do you want?!�
�Information, agent Scully. On the whereabouts of Mulder�
�You must be smoking more than tobacco if you think you�re going to get that information from me�
�We shall see� he gestured towards the blonde woman to Scully�s right �Have you met my associate, Elizabeth Rodgers?�
�Briefly�
�She tends to be very persuasive� he said, lighting up a cigarette �I�ll leave you two alone to get better acquainted� and he left the room. Rodgers slowly walked around until she was in front of Scully. In her right hand she held a piece of wood.
�Where is Fox Mulder?� she asked.
�What do you want with him?�
Rodgers didn�t answer, and instead repeated her question. Scully didn�t speak, so Rodgers hit her across the face with the piece of wood. Scully yelled in pain and glared at her. �Where is Fox Mulder?� She was about to hit Scully again when she spoke.
�Look, if this is how you plan on finding Mulder, then I�ll be dead before you have any information�
Rodgers thought for a moment �your devotion to Fox Mulder is much stronger than I had anticipated. No matter, I just have to find your weakness. I will have my information, Agent Scully, one way or another.� Scully confidently leant back.
�No you won�t.� Rodgers hit her again with the piece of wood, saying nothing, as though the action itself could contradict her statement. This caused Scully�s lip to bleed. �I�m not telling you anything, no matter what you might think!�
Rodgers narrowed her eyes. �What will it take to get you to divulge Mulder�s whereabouts?�
�I�m afraid you�re wasting your time�
�Perhaps not� Rodgers said, as though she had an idea. She walked towards the door. �You will tell me what I want to know� she said before closing it behind her.
Scully sighed. �Wanna bet?� she said confidently to the empty room.
