Date: 95-11-07 23:14:48 EST Dana Scully and Fox Mulder belong to me. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Just kidding, they are the intellectual property of Chris Carter and 20th Century Television. I'm just using them without permission. This is a sequel to "Byte Me". If you need it, just drop me a line at nsimpson@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca... Cite Me ~~~~~~~ by Nic Simpson "Scully, pick up the phone. Hellooooo? Where are you? I know I asked you not to pick me up from the airport, but I thought you'd at least be home. Okay, well, my flight got in a bit early, so I'm at home unpacking and filling the tub with jello IN CASE YOU WANT TO COME OVER..." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Mulder, I don't believe this. I'm in Pittsburgh, but where the hell are YOU? They said you checked out of the motel and the field office guys told me you went home! By the way, you were right-they *are* losers. Are you even home yet?" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Scully, I just went out for some groceries. Now I know you're in Pittsburgh, but I don't know where! Your celphone isn't turned on! I'm just praying you try checking your messages. If you don't call me back soon, I'll assume you got on the plane and came home again, okay? Oh, and thanks for the new fish. They are getting along swimmingly." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Mulder, is your ringer on? This is getting ridiculous. You're right about Pittsburgh deserving its name, by the way. I'm getting on the red eye back to D.C., I should be in at about seven o'clock. I'll just come straight to your place so we can at least have some breakfast before work, okay? I tried to check my messages, but it wouldn't accept my code through a rotary phone. See you soon." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Scully, where the hell are you? I know you haven't called me back yet, because I've been waiting for hours for the phone to ring. Literally. You were right, I don't have a life. Well, except for you. I wonder if something's wrong with my phone. I'm going to call Frohike and ask him to call me back to check." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mulder? I'm on the plane right now. I'll be in a little earlier than I thought, so you'll probably still be asleep when I come in, okay? I'll use my key and try not to wake you up. I still can't access my messages, I think the tape ran out and now it won't play back for me! Would you have anything to do with that?" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Me again. Now I know what the problem was-the ringer was turned all the way down. I'm still waiting for you to call, but I just wanted to hear your dulcet tones on your answering machine. Um, the jello is hardening, by the way." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Hi. Just to let you know I'm actually heading over to your place to wait for you there, in case you get there before I do." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Mulder! Pick up the goddamn phone, it's five o'clock in the morning! I'm at the police station. Airport security pulled me away as soon as I got off the plane to tell me there was an intruder in my apartment. I guess my neighbour called it in. I was worried about Krycek, so I just went downtown to wait for them to bring in the perp. Where are you?" xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "This is Fox Mulder. I just wanted to let you know that Agent Scully and I are both taking personal days today. We have some sleep to catch up on." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Sorry about the lineup." "That's okay." "And the body cavity search." "I don't want to talk about it." "Mmmm, Mulder, how did you know lime was my favorite?" "Let the machine get it." THE END...
