Mulder: Why do you wanna change it back? It's a brilliant name...

Mulder: Suits you too.

SkinmanTheWishman: Mulder, I don't have time for this!

[Scully changed SkinmanTheWishman's name to 'Skinner']

Scully: There.

Mulder: Aw, you ruined the fun! :(

Scully: Mulder, when have you ever had fun at the FBI besides throwing pencils at the ceiling?

Mulder: Meh.

Skinner: Alright, enough of that! Let me brief you on your assigment.

Mulder: Wait, so you don't have fun at work Scully?

Scully: What? I never said that...

Mulder: So you do have fun?

Scully: Well... some of it's quite fun I suppose.

Skinner: Agents? Can we please get back to the case?

Mulder: Like what parts, Scully?

Scully: I don't know, like... when we just get to talk for example. Or when we mess about and snoop around on the A.D.'s laptop.

Mulder: See, I knew you loved it really!

Skinner: You do what to my laptop?

Scully: Uhh... nothing. So you were telling us about that case, sir?

Skinner: Ah yes.

Skinner: It's about a woman who went missing - Skyla Reed, age 27. She was last seen at her best friend's house around eight last night before she drunk a couple of beers and supposedly drove back home, although her sister who she was sharing a small bungalow with said she never returned home.

Mulder: But sir, what does that have anything to do with the X-Files?

Skinner: That was her sister's side to the story, but her bestfriend's recollection of it was quite different. She said she'd driven Reed home that night after she'd drunk too much alcohol and watched her walk inside her house, and began to drive off when she saw a bright blue light illuminating the entirity of the house through the windows, which multiple neighbours and witnesses can also account for... but she just shook it off and drove back home.

Scully: And then what, sir?

Skinner: When she got home she said she saw the same blue light inside her own house when she pulled into her drive. When she got out the car and went inside the house she claims to have seen Reed standing in her kitchen with blood dripping from her forehead. After that, there was no trace of her.

Scully: Brr.. that gave me shivers.

Mulder: Where is the sister now?

Skinner: She's being held in custody for the time being, but we have no firm evidence to hold her.

Mulder: And the other woman?

Skinner: Her bestfriend? She was questioned, but released.

Scully: Is there any way we can get in contact with her?

Skinner: Hold on, let me see.

Skinner: Hm, looks like her phone's powered off...

Mulder: Powered off? Why would she power down her phone, especially at a time like this when she knows she may be contacted by the FBI?

Scully: Mulder give the woman a break, let's wait a while and try again later. Her phone could've just run out of battery.

[3 hours later]

Skinner: Alright, let's have another attempt...

Mulder: Scully, who takes 3 hours to find their phone charger?

Scully: Maybe it broke. Besides, there's no suspicious explination as to why she would knowingly disable her own phone.

Skinner: Unless...

Scully: Unless what, sir?

Mulder: Unless she's hiding something.
