Dana was sitting at the small circular table with her hands wrapped around a coffee cup. She'd gotten up from bed as soon as the sun came up; untangling herself from around Mulder to find some peace alone. She loved him, she did. But she had to step back and think. About everything.
She was lost in her thoughts about what they were going to have to do about Samantha when a voice interrupted her. Looking up, she sat up taller in her chair. What the fuck was with all of these people out here?! Reyes, Harlow, and now this guy?
Her eyes narrowed. "I do mind. And I don't have anything to discuss with you. If A.D. Skinner wants me to cooperate with yet another Agent on my case with Agent Mulder, then he can call me directly."
