The Eye Witness Accounts
Later, in the bureau

"Would you just get on with it!"

"Hurry up, already!"

(amused laughter) "Okay! I was just trying to draw it out a
little. You know, heighten the suspense."

"I'll draw something out in a minute. like a few threads from your
hemline with my zip!"

(more amused laughter) "Boy, you suit types have no sense of
humour."

"Please, Green Long-sleeved Fitted Sweater, would you continue. The
missus is just about pulling my button off she's so keyed up!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, darling. I didn't realize."

"It's okay, sweetheart, I was just teasing."

"Sorry, Mauves. I was just.aw heck, where was I? Oh yes. Well,
Mulder turned off the lights and went off to bed. There was this real cool music
playing when he did that AND while he was covering her. Don't know where it
was coming from because I couldn't see then because of the blanket. But
anyway I presume he went to sleep. Because a few hours later Scully woke up.
I think she was feeling a bit cramped and decided to go home. But because
it was dark she bumped into something and the next instant Mulder was
standing in the doorway."

"What was he wearing?"

"Probably nothing. Mulder's a MAN after all!"

"He wouldn't wear nothing with Scully in the next room!"

"I'd wear nothing with Scully in the next room."

"Yeah, I bet you would!"

"And what's that supposed to mean? I was only joking, you prude."

"Pervert!"

"Black Wider Legged Pants, don't talk to your partner like that!"

"Well, she started it!"

"And I'm finishing it. Desist both of you or it's back to the
wardrobe for the pair of you."

"Sorry, Overcoat."

Silence.

"Black Wider Legged Pants?"

Silence.

"Just ignore him. He's been in a bad mood all day. He's jealous
'cos HE wasn't there at the time and isn't getting any attention."

"Am not!"

"Are too! You've never liked Black Side Zipped Skirt and now you're
jealous as hell of him."

"I am NOT!"

"You ARE SO! Why can't you just admit it?"

"Why should I be jealous of a measly skirt. Just because you keep
THROWING yourself at him like the floozy you are."

"You fatherless excuse for a garment! It's not my fault we get
teamed together sometimes. And what about you, hanging out all nice and
cozy beside."

"STOP! BOTH OF YOU! Not one more word or I'll personally escort you
both back to your hangers."

"But."

"Not ONE!"

Silence

"Much better. I suggest if you two have grievances, you air them in
private while you're on a trip together or at the cleaners. Now, you were
saying, Green Long-sleeved Fitted Sweater?"

"Well, as I said, Mulder appeared in the doorway and he said. . . "

"You still haven't told us what he was wearing."

"Black boxers, I bet. Remember back a few years, some of the older
garments described how they'd once seen him in those."

"Oh, he'd look divine in black boxers. I can feel my fastenings
weakening at the very thought!"

"Me too."

"My elastic's stretched almost to the limit!"

"And mine!"

"Actually it was too dark to see the colour, but he had on some
kind of shorts and a t-shirt."

"And? Come on woman, get to the good bit."

"This must be where he comes in and sweeps her off her feet.
Right?"

"No, he doesn't. He say's 'Scully is that you? Are you okay.' And
she says. 'Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. I was just letting myself out.'
And he says, 'You're leaving now?' and she says 'Well, Mulder I hate to
complain but your couch isn't the most comfortable thing I've ever slept
on.'"

"See, I told you!"

"SH!"

"And then he says, 'I'll swap you. I'm used to sleeping on the
couch.'"

"Oh, isn't that sweet?"

"And she says, 'Mulder no, I don't want to put you out of your bed.
You must be exhausted after your flight."

"She is SO considerate. Isn't she considerate?"

"And then he say's, 'It's fine, Scully, really, I can sleep
anywhere. I'd just rather you didn't leave at this late hour.'"

"Ooh this is sooooooooo romantic."

"Oh p-l-ease! Can we just cut to the chase?"

"No way! This is the best bit! Keep talking."

"So anyway he say's, 'It's fine, Scully, really, I can sleep
anywhere. I'd just rather you didn't leave at this late hour.'"

"You said that already!"

"Ignore him! And what did she say?"

"She said, 'Mulder, I'll be fine.'"

"Typical Scully answer."

"Does she ever say anything else?"

"Shut up you two."

"And then he said, 'Scully.' and she said, 'Mulder I am NOT
sleeping on this couch and I am NOT putting you out of your bed.'"

"Ooh, them's fightin' words! I just love it when she gets
forceful!"

"What did he say to that?"

"Well, he didn't say anything for a few moments and then he said. . ."

"My bed's big enough for two!!??"

"He did NOT. He said, 'You know, Scully, I do have a double bed.'"

"Same difference."

"No, it's NOT!"

"It means the same thing."

"No it doesn't, does it Black Side Zipped Skirt's Matching Jacket?"

"No, she's right, darling. It's not quite the same. Exact wording's
important."

"Exact wording my r . . ."

"AHEM!"

"Uh, sorry, got a little carried away there. Please continue."

"Are you sure, now? Or are you going to jump in again? Perhaps
you'd like to tell the rest of what little more you know yourself? I don't mind,
really, just get it RIGHT!"

"No, no, you carry on. Hog the limelight. I'll just sit here and
pretend to be invisible."

"Oh, for goodness sake!"

"Oh, just shut up the pair of you, I'm taking over now."

"Hey, you can't talk to my partner like that."

"I just did, luvvy. Besides, none of you knows much more."

"We know more than you. You couldn't see anything yet, Black
Wal-Mart Bra Three."

"No, but I could HEAR. We undergarments are good at that in case
you hadn't realized and you guys couldn't exactly see much either since it was
dark. Is this okay with you, Overcoat? Good, well let's see, um. Mulder said,
'You know, Scully, I do have a double bed.' And then there were a few
seconds silence and I could feel Scully's heart skip a beat and then start
to beat faster and then she said real quiet like, 'Is that an invitation,
Mulder?' And he sort of stuttered for a few moments and then he said."

"Yeah baby. I'm so hot for you!!! Come here. Get it? COME here!"
(raucous laughter)

"Tight buttonholes and busted zippers, if you don't give it a rest,
Black Wal-Mart Special One I'm going to. . ."

"Someone sit on him. Overcoat?"

"I'll do better than that. One more comment from you, young fella
and I'll stuff you in my pocket. Then you won't hear any more at all. Got
it, lad?"

"Geez, I was just having a little fun. No need to come down all
heavy. I haven't been out much lately, not since the Frilly Blacks and Lacy
Blacks moved in."

"My lining is tearing for you, but find another way to get your
ya-yas out, would you please?"

"Sure, fine, whatever. So what DID the revered Mulder have to say?"

"He said. 'It's. . . whatever you want it to be, Scully.'"

"Ohhhhhh!"

"No pressure."

"Not much!"

"SH!"

"Shut up!"

"What'd she say? What'd she say?"

"Well, actually she didn't say anything. There was just silence
again but I could feel her heart beating faster and her breathing becoming more
shallow while they both just stood there, and then finally. . ."

"Actually, he held out his hand."

"Did he?"

"Uh huh. I could see it clearly by the light of the fish tank. Not
for her to take, but as a gesture to invite her into the bedroom."

"Ah, that's nice. So did she take his hand when she walked over?"

"No, she just nodded and then walked over past him and into the
room."

"And then he must have followed her in and started to apologize for
the state of things."

"Yes. It was quite light because the moonlight was streaming
through the window. I could see quite clearly as he started to tidy things a
little by throwing clothes off the bed onto the floor and straightening the
covers. And he asked her which side of the bed she'd prefer."

"That's when she took me off and put me on a chair beside the bed."

"Oh and can I tell this bit? Then she said really softly, 'Mulder'.
He stopped and looked at her and she walked over to him and took one
of his hands in hers and put her other hand gently on his chest before
looking up into his eyes. He didn't say anything for a moment or two, just
looked down into her eyes and then he took hold of the hand on his chest with
his free hand and held it in place over his heart as he whispered, 'Are you
sure, Scully? This wasn't what I meant." and she said, 'It wasn't?' and
he said, 'Well maybe I hoped. A little. A lot.' And then . . ."

". . .she got up on her toes and kissed him softly on the lips and
whispered, 'Does that answer your question?' And then he. . . "

" . . .closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her and she did the
same. And for a few moments they just held each other tightly."

"I could feel his heart beating just as fast and as strongly as
hers through the layers of cloth."

"And then . . .?"

"And then . . .?"

"And then. . .?"

"SH, everyone, she's coming! Back to your places. Go NOW!"

From the personal log of Captain Charles Scully:

I was right; this new Special Tech Force is better than the SEALS.
I have never seen technology like this. I thought the planes at that air
base in Idaho were interesting but these are much more advanced.

I have to admit, though, that I don't really understand our current
mission. Why quarantine an Oregon town only to transfer them somewhere else?
They all seem to be sick or sedated. What is the point of moving them? And
why are WE moving them? Shouldn't the CDC be involved? And they tell me
that this one guy keeps mumbling my name. What's up with that?

Hope Mom will understand that the quarantine extends to me and I
won't be able to send any mail home. I sure miss the chocolate chip cookies
and clean underwear.
