"Thank-you for coming in today, Agent Scully."

Scully looked a little chagrined as if she'd been 
admonished. "I apologize for the constant rescheduling."

"It's understandable. I know you travel a great 
deal in your department."

When it came to Dana Scully, Dr. Kossef found it helpful 
to talk shop for a few moments. It seemed to help the 
Agent get her bearings and relax. "I reviewed a report 
from your last case - due to a weapons discharge - 
it sounded very intense."

"It was. A strange case, but that's what Mulder and 
I do, investigate strange cases."

"But it's not every day your partner threatens to 
shoot you."

"You'd be surprised." Scully gave a bit of a smile 
as she picked imaginary lint from her navy skirt.

"Do you feel like talking about it?"

"No. There's not a lot to discuss. We're still trying 
to determine the exact nature of Modell's medical history. 
It seems clear that Mulder was being manipulated by some 
sort of post hypnotic suggestion."

"Fascinating." Dr. Kossef's hand rested lightly on the 
round table, a look of keen interest on her face.

Scully chuckled softly and pushed a strand of hair behind 
her ear. "You have no idea."

Dr. Kossef sensed it was time to begin. "Have you brought 
your items?"

Scully's face altered ever so slightly, tinged with 
something, trepidation maybe. "Yes. I remembered." 
She said quietly as she leaned down to remove a large 
routing envelope from the bag at her feet.

"You've had awhile to gather these items. Are you 
satisfied that you have what you need?"

Scully fingered the edge of the envelope's flap with 
a manicured nail before replying. "Yes. I'm satisfied. 
Mulder had a large file about my case which was 
accessible to me."

"Does he know you've removed items?"

"I didn't remove anything, just made copies of what 
I wanted. I can't destroy evidence from a case file, 
even a closed one."

"Of course." Dr. Kossef ignored Scully's artful deflection 
of her question. It was not entirely unexpected.

"Would you like to see them?"

"If you'd like."

"I don't mind, in a strange way I feel you're the only 
one I can show."

"Your partner and you are very close. You aren't able 
to show him these things?"

"No."

Karen could tell she would get no further 
information on that front. "Okay, let's see 
what you have."

Tipping the envelope upside down, Scully released 
the perverse collection of memorabilia she'd been 
secretly gathering for weeks. Spreading it before her 
she pointed to each item.

"A photo of me in the trunk of Dwayne Berry's stolen 
automobile. - A transcript of Mulder's interrogation 
of Berry at Skyline mountain. - A picture of Berry from 
his FBI file. - Mulder's field journal, a copy of course."

Dr. Kossef watched as Scully carefully ran her index 
finger over the cover of the field journal. A jumble 
of grief and determination glittered through unshed tears.

"Now what?" She whispered.

"Burn it."
