By Xanthe
I have no idea why I'm here. First a flight, then a long car journey, just me and my boss, out on a long winding road leading to this small town in the middle of nowhere. I'm not comfortable, and I miss Scully's familiar presence, and the ease of our communication. He hasn't spoken to me all that much, except to go over the details of the case, which are scant enough. The man accused of the murder has no alibi, nor any witnesses to clear him. There is some circumstantial evidence - this guy's gun found at the scene of the crime - to implicate him. No motive, but the guy's crazy anyway, so he probably doesn't need to have one in the usual sense. I don't know why I'm here, and I'm not enjoying myself one bit.
Finally, (thank god!) we arrive at the hotel where our two rooms are booked. He gets the keys, I get the bags, and we separate when we arrive on the third floor. (We use the stairs - no elevator). His room is next to mine in this crumbling old ruin of a place - paper thin walls and fading wallpaper, worn carpets, you know the sort of place. Not that I care - I've slept in my car before now, but somehow, it doesn't seem like the kind of place he'd stay in. I suspect that there wasn't much choice. This town looks as if nothing has changed or happened for a thousand years - except the murder of course. Maybe nobody ever comes to visit. How sad, a whole town that's like some sort of maiden aunt - forgotten, friendless, unpopular.
I don't unpack. I can't see the point. You only have to pack up again when you leave. He said to bring enough for a few days, and I toss the bag into a corner of the room, and lay down on my bed with a sigh. I don't want to be here…I don't want to be here…I repeat the mantra over and over again in my head, gazing up at the brown stain on the ceiling, probably where the upstairs bath overflowed.
There's a knock on the door, and I open it.
"Agent Mulder. I'm going to go directly to the police station. I'll see you back here later…" He turns on his heel, but I have no intention of letting him go that easily.
"Sir?"
He stops, and I see his shoulders tense, then he looks back. There is no expression on his face, and I have the distinct impression of being out of my depth. Something is going on here, and I don't know what it is.
"Mulder." He looks wary, like a caged animal.
"You've brought me all the way out here to, to…nowhere in order just to abandon me?" I ask him. "With all due respect, why did you bring me at all?"
He doesn't reply immediately. I wish I could understand what was going on inside that naked skull of his, but I have never known a man who gave away less. You have to look really, really hard to catch even that hint of a shadow in his eyes, or the faintest twitch of a shoulder blade. Luckily, I'm good at looking hard, and I catch both.
"Good question, Agent Mulder," said wryly, as if he knows that he's done something stupid, or something brilliant, or both. Or as if the jury is out, and he's still not quite sure which, or what use he intends to put me to. Maybe that's it.
"And?" I prompt. Another hesitation. "Look, since I've come all this way you may as well let me come with you to see this guy." I say. "I'm going to need all the information I can get if you want my help." My help. What for? To solve a murder that isn't our jurisdiction anyway? Not mine, certainly, and I've rarely heard of an Assistant Director venturing out into the field like this. Not for something so small, so mundane, so…local.大小:30.0 KB 今日下载:335 次 发布用户:admin共有0篇贴子 页次1/0最近更新推荐[外语教材]
