DEPUTY DIRECTOR ALVIN KERSH'S OUTER OFFICE – DAY Agent John Doggett steps out of the Deputy Director's office and passes a young blond female agent who has just entered the office. As he passes her, she sneers at him in a very immature way. Agent Leyla Harrison goes up to Kersh's sectary, Judy. "I need to speak with the Deputy Director please." Agent Harrison demands. "Let me see if he's busy. What's your name?" Judy asks of Agent Harrison. "Special Agent Leyla Harrison." Harrison answers. Judy gives her a questioning look, she hasn't heard of an Agent Harrison before. She hits the intercom button. "Sir, do you have time to speak with an Agent Leyla Harrison?" Judy asks. "Agent Harrison? Never heard of her." Kersh replied through the intercom. "Not right now. I'm busy moving my things into my new office." "Yes sir." Judy says into the intercom, then looks up at Agent Leyla Harrison. "I'm sorry Agent Harrison, the Deputy Director is busy." "Don't give me that!" Harrison yells. "I need to speak with him. It's of grave importance!" Judy just looks at Harrison, she's not buying it. "I'm sorry Agent Harrison, you'll have to come at another time." Judy tells her. Harrison gives out an impatient sigh and looks at Kersh's closed office door, then at Judy, and back at Kersh's closed office door. Judy is busy looking something up on her computer when Agent Harrison quickly darts into Kersh's office. INT. KERSH'S OFFICE Harrison runs in, slamming the door behind her, alerting both Judy and Kersh. Harrison locks the door. Judy can be heard trying the lock. Harrison turns around to face Deputy Director Alvin Kersh. He does not look happy with her. "Sir, you can not have Agent Doggett lead the investigation to find Agent Mulder." Harrison tells him. "He's a great Agent." Kersh gives her a look. "And I'm sure the same can't be said about you." "You are so mean!" She yells at him. Kersh doesn't know how to talk to someone who is this immature. "Agent Harrison, right?" Kersh asks. "Yes." "Ok. Agent Harrison, I'm going to ask you to leave my office now." Kersh says. "I do not have time for whatever you find important." "But-" "Leave." Kersh says. Leyla stands there with her lower lip pouting out. Kersh gives her a look, and she leaves, very upset. CUT TO: INT. FBI HALLWAY Agent Harrison is making her way down the hallway, towards the waiting area where the investigation for Mulder is being held. To her happy surprise, she sees Agent Dana Scully throwing a cup of water on to Agent John Doggett. Agent Scully leaves the room, leaving Agent Doggett wet. Harrison happily comes up to Agent Scully. "Agent Scully, I'm so happy you don't like that task force leader too. He's a threat to you and Agent Mulder." Harrison says. Scully looks at her. "What the hell are you talking about?" Scully asks her. "I don't not like Agent Doggett." "But… yes you do. I saw you throw water on him." Harrison says. "Yeah, wouldn't you?" Scully asks. "He's hot, I had to cool him off somehow. I couldn't control myself. I kept seeing visions of him wet, and I didn't want to just leave it as visions. I wanted to see him wet. There is just something about that man and water…" Scully says with a sigh as she looks back into the room where Agent Doggett is. Harrison stares at her blankly. She can't believe what she just heard. "What do you see in that pointy-eared guy?" Harrison asks. Scully looks back over at her. "What do you *not* see?" Scully says, her attention going back to Doggett. "I mean, just look at him. The way he sits… his broad shoulders, his posture, the way he holds that case file… such a man." Scully gets a goofy grin on her face. "But what about Mulder?!" Harrison asks, getting frustrated that Scully is falling for this guy. "Ah, Mulder schmulder." Scully simply replies, not taking her eyes off of Doggett. Harrison can't take it any longer and runs away. CUT TO: INT. LEYLA HARRISON'S BEDROOM – THAT NIGHT Harrison is curled up on her couch, with a blanket around her. She's watching a video tape with a tissue box in one hand, and a photo-manipulation of Mulder and Scully in a heart-shaped frame in the other. "See, you're carrying Mulder's child Scully." Harrison says, speaking to her TV set. "You guys had one lonely night together, and it was a miracle. Why are you falling for Agent Doggett? It just can't be." She brings a tissue to her eyes and cleans away her tears, then blows her nose. "I know what I'll do. I'll go over to her apartment and have a little talk with her. I'll fix her then." Leyla says with a smile on her face. CUT TO: INT. SCULLY'S APARTMENT – LATER THAT NIGHT Scully is sitting at her computer, looking up information about this new hot Agent Doggett. "Hmm… name: John. Cute picture." Scully says, admiring his biography. "Oohh… U.S. Marine Corps…" Scully gets a pondering look on her face. "Military men…" Scully says to herself. "I wonder if he's as good as Walter…" Scully is interrupted by a knock at her door. She looks over at the door irritated. She gets up to answer it. "Oh god." Scully says with an irritated tone as she puts her hand to her forehead as if she got a sudden headache. "Agent Scully, we need to talk." Leyla Harrison says, and steps past Scully and enters her apartment. "Who are you, and why are you here." Scully asks irritated. "I didn't invite you in. I'm busy." Harrison looks at Scully's computer. "What are you looking at on your computer?" Harrison asks. "It's nothing. Just getting to know the new task force leader." Scully says. "Can you leave?" "No." Harrison says. "What about Agent Mulder?" "They're lookin' for him." Scully says, not really caring. "I'm sure he's fine. Walter said he was taken by an alien space craft. Knowing him, he's probably found Samantha and having fun pushing buttons he's not suppose to." "It's because of this new guy." Harrison says. "I don't get it Agent Scully. You are going to be having Agent Mulder's baby." "What?" Scully says, not knowing what she's talking about. "Yes, I know Agent Scully. You and Mulder had one lonely night together." Harrison says. "Yeah, playing Monopoly." Scully says, offended that Harrison would think that she and Mulder had sex together. "I know you are just covering up because you don't want that new guy to know about your pregnancy and how much you are in love with Agent Mulder." Harrison assures her. "But I know, oh yes Agent Scully, I know." Harrison smiles at her. "You don't know anything." Scully says, getting very irritated. "I slept with the Cancer Man!" Harrison goes pale at these words. "I did. I shagged him rotten!" Scully says. "How else do you think I'm actually pregnant? Hello! I can't have children, and now I'm pregnant. The Smoking Man has power, and I'm not just talkin' about the power to help me conceive a child if you know what I mean." Scully has a smirk on her face. Harrison doesn't know what to say. "But… but…" Harrison says. "Now, if you don't mind leaving, I would like to get back to see the marital status on this Agent John Doggett." Scully says, pushing Leyla Harrison out of her apartment, making sure to lock the door afterwards. Scully goes over to her window to make sure Harrison has left. But she sees someone watching her from outside her apartment. Scully thinks to herself, then picks up her phone and dials. "John Doggett." Says Doggett over the phone.' "Why are you spying on me?" Scully says accusingly. "What?" Doggett asks. "I'm not spyin' on you." "I know, I just wanted to hear your sexy deep rough voice." Scully says. "Pardon me, Agent Scully?" Doggett says, not sure that he heard her right. "I said, I just wanted to hear your sexy deep rough voice." Scully repeats herself. It's quiet on the other end for a beat. "Agent Doggett?" Scully says. "I'm still here." Doggett says. "Are you alone?" Scully asks. "Yeah, why?" Doggett answers. "Oh, I was just wondering what you're wearin'…" Scully says in a sly tone. Off her sly smile… CUT TO: INT. DEPUTY DIRECTOR ALVIN KERSH'S OUTER OFFICE – NEXT DAY Agent Leyla Harrison sits impatiently on the couch in the waiting area outside of Kersh's office. Judy looks at Harrison irritated, but is assured that she's not as irritated as Alvin Kersh is about to be. Kersh's office door opens. "Agent Leyla Harrison," Kersh says with pain in his voice. "I can see you now." He goes into his office and Leyla follows. "Have a seat." Kersh says, signaling to the seat in front of his desk. Harrison sits down. "What do you want, Agent Harrison?" Kersh asks. "I'm here to express my concern about Agent Scully." Harrison says. "Oh?" "Yes, it seems she's falling in love with Agent Doggett." Harrison continues. "Now, you and I both know that Agent Scully is in love with Agent Mulder." Kersh looks confused, where did she get that? "Hmmm… She's falling in love with Agent Doggett?" Kersh asks. "Yes." Harrison replies. "Ok, I'll see what I can do for you." Kersh says. "You're dismissed if that's all you came here for." "One more thing actually." Harrison says. Kersh lets out an impatient sigh. "What's that?" Kersh asks. "Have we found Agent Mulder yet?" Harrison asks. "No." Kersh replies. Leyla Harrison looks deeply saddened. "Ok, I guess I'll have to continue to cry myself to sleep until he's found." Harrison says. Kersh doesn't know what to think of this. "Whatever, you can leave now." Kersh says. TIME CUT TO: INT. HOSPITAL – A FEW DAYS LATER Agent Doggett steps out of Scully's hospital room and sees Agent Harrison. "How is she?" Harrison asks. "Are you family?" Doggett asks. "No, just a fellow Special Agent." Harrison says. "She's fine." Doggett answers. "It's so sad, she was so close to finding Agent Mulder." Harrison says. "Now she'll be all alone in the basement…" Harrison lets out a sigh. "I wonder if I could ask Deputy Director Kersh for a transfer onto the x-files." Harrison says with inspiration in her eyes. "Actually, I've been assigned to help out with the x- files." Doggett says. Harrison's eyes go wide and she begins to scream… DISSOLVE CUT TO: INT. KERSH'S OFFICE Harrison's scream continues. "Agent Harrison! Shut up!" Kersh says, with irritation in his voice. "You said you were going to make sure that Agent Scully would realize her love for Agent Mulder! How dare you assign that new guy to the x-files!" Harrison yells at Kersh. "I never said that." Kersh says calmly. "I said I would take care of things. I did. Agent Scully and Agent Doggett are partners now." "NO-OOOOOOOOO!!" Harrison screams. Kersh gives her a look, then pulls out his handgun from his desk drawer and shoots her into silence. Until next time… FADE OUT: THE END. -------------------- Love it? Hate it?
