Ten Minute Increments: Hot Date
by Susan
~~~~

Saturday morning

start of conversation: 10:42 a.m.


"Mulder, it's me."

"Hey, Scully. What's goin' on?"

"Not much. I was just wondering if I could drop by
sometime later today, maybe pick your brain a bit
on this latest case file Skinner gave us yesterday.
I think I found something in Jane Harrison's autopsy
that might shed some light on the other two murders
that occurred before hers."

"Care to share?"

"Not over the phone."

"Well, I can't talk right now. There's someplace
I need to go in a few minutes, but you can come
over later after lunch if you want."

"Got a hot date, Mulder?"

"You might say that."

"Oh, really?"

"Contrary to popular belief, I do have a life
outside of the X-Files, Scully."

"I know you, Mulder, and you do *not* have a life
outside the office...unless you count going over
to the gunmen's place to discuss the latest edition
of Celebrity Skin with Frohike a hot date."

"He does look kind of sexy with those black gloves
on."

"He's not your type."

"You're right. I like my dates with more curves
and a lot less facial hair."

"So, tell me. Who's the girl?"

"Her name is Martha, and I don't know what I'd do
without her."

"And just what has this Martha done for you that's
so special?"

"Remember the night Tooms died?"

"Yes. What about it?"

"Remember how bad I looked after crawling around
in that tunnel?"

"Yes, and as I recall, you didn't smell so hot
either.

"Well, Martha worked her mojo and saved both my
shirt and pants."

"So she's the lady at the dry cleaners."

"Not just any lady, Scully. The lady who's been
able to get every stain out of my clothes since
I started working on the X-Files."

"That's impressive."

"It is, and so are her prices. I'm such a regular
that she gives me a thirty percent discount."

"Maybe I should start taking my suits there."

"Maybe you should. In fact, how about if I pick
up my suits, you drop off yours, then afterwards
we go out to lunch and discuss that autopsy report
you wanted to show me."

"Wow, the dry cleaners *and* discussing autopsy
data over soup and a sandwich? You really know
how to show a girl a good time."

"Admit it, Scully. I've been showing you a good
time for years."

"Yes, you have."

"So, what do you say? Meet you at Shirley Blvd.
and Covington at Martha's place in about a half
hour?"

"Okay Mulder, but only if you put my suits on
your tab."

"I can do that, *and* I can pay for lunch."

"I knew there was a reason why I called you this
morning."

"See you about 11:30?"

"It's a date."

 
end of conversation: 10:52 a.m.
