I WANT TO BELIEVE

Chapter 3: New Girl

Marks
------------------
   She walked in. It looked like she had imagined. Like one of her brothers rooms but with a woman's touch. Posters and files hung everywhere, papers on the desk on ground. AD Skinner walked in behind her and went to the desk. He set a file in front of a man she assumed to be Fox Mulder.
   "This is Jr. Special Agent Kala Marks. She had been assigned to you as your apprentice. Scully and her have known each other for quite a while so I thought she might be a help to us in finding her." Skinner said right before leaving the room.
   Mulder didn't even look up from the file while he said,"How old are you?"
   She looked at him waiting for him to look up but she finally gave in and said,"12"
   He slightly raised his eyebrows but still didn't take his focus away from the file,"And how long did you know Scully?"
   "Since I was four. When my family died she took care of me for two years until she came here to the FBI. We have been in contact ever since."
   He finally looked up. Once he did she felt relieved. Like he slightly felt comfortable with her being in the office. She sat down and handed him her file.
   "I know you were a profiler so I thought you might want to do a background check on me." She said looking at his hand, waiting for it to grab the file.
   "That won't help us here. We are going to Nebraska."
   "Why, I thought she disappeared from the airport?"
    "She did but she got on the plane. Here," Mulder got up and showed her a video of Scully getting on the plane but a man behind her with his hand on her back,"See she did go there," he pointed at the name of the location on the screen.
   "Just tell me when,"She said standing up.
   "First things first, where do you live?"
   "Right now?" She looked at him,"Right now I don't live anywhere.
Right now I'm in a hotel."
   "I'll take you there. You can pack up but make it quick, ok?"
   "Ok," she said walking out the door and in the direction of the elevator.
   "Hey!," Mulder caught up with her, "How did you get in here while you were so young?"
   "Let's save that for the car ride,
Ok?"
