Chapter 4:
FBI Basement office of Mulder and Scully “I can’t believe this.” Mike Stern and Mulder sit staring in disbelief at the images before them. Once Maya had given Mike the code to decrypt the images he had called Mulder up immediately. “I just can’t believe it.” Mike says again. “This is incredible Mulder. She was able to decrypt this in less than 24 hours after our top guys spent weeks on this.” Mike watches as Mulder goes through the folders with the images. The files were sorted by autopsy date back as far the 1940’s. Skinner enters the basement office after hearing that Mike was able to decode the rest of the drive. Mulder looks in his direction and speaks for the first time. “Well sir, I think we’ve hit the mother lode.” Skinner walks over to where Mike and Mulder are sitting. He glances at the images on the screen and takes in a deep breath. “It is extremely important that the information of these photos does not get out.” Skinner says. “Mulder, I need you and Scully to determine if these photos are in fact real and that the drive is kept secure at all times.” “Yes, sir I agree. Will the Director be notified of any of this?” Mulder looks over to the older man. “No, I think it best at this time that this information is kept quiet. You and I both know the reaction this will get and we need to proceed carefully.” Mulder nods at this. Skinner reviews the images with Mulder in awe at what he is looking at. He can’t believe that Maya was able to decrypt the images as fast as she did. He had expected it to take much longer and was not prepared to explain to the woman what she had found on the hard drive. He didn’t know himself what to expect. Maya had seemed extremely uncomfortable once the first images were decoded. He was afraid that she would run for the door if he didn’t do some sort of damage control. Once he had taken the hard drive from her, he had wanted to ask her if she was all right and ok to continue trying to decrypt the remaining drives. He could tell she was shaken up and wanted to help to calm her or ease her mind in some way. He wasn’t able to form the appropriate words at that moment and Maya had asked if she could take a few hours to collect herself. The only words Skinner had said were, “I expect that not one word of this will be spoken to any one, is that understood Ms. Hernandez.” When she looked at him to respond he could see in her eyes that she was hurt by that comment. “Yes sir, of course.” She said and hurried out of the lab. Skinner mentally kicked himself and wished he could take his words back as he watched her leave. He wanted to take her into his arms and make her forget those images. Kiss her fear away until he saw her lips form that smile that took his breath away. Maya left the lab shaken and feeling extremely anxious about the images she had seen. There was nothing that could have prepared her for this. She headed towards Kim’s office and slid in while Kim was on the phone. Kim waved her to have a seat and finished up her call. Maya sat to the side and leaned her back against the wall closing her eyes. She was kicking herself because she had the perfect opportunity to get into the Assistant Directors good side and had wanted to discuss the case more with him. She was interested to see how he worked and had the perfect opening for her to find more about him. What she had found on that drive through her for a loop though and she lost her nerve not sure how to proceed given the situation. She suddenly felt a hand on her knee and she looked down opening her eyes. Kim was knelt down before her with a worried look in her eyes. “Are you ok Maya?” Kim asked with concern. “Can you get out of here for a while? I need to get some air and really could use the company.” “Of course.” Kim got up and walked over to desk to grab her purse. “I know some place quiet we can go.” Maya and Kim sat in a small park not far from the J. Edgar Hoover building. The park was quiet considering it was in the middle of a bustling city. They grabbed a couple of coffees from a vendor on the way and sat on a bench in the center of the park. “Ok, spill it Maya. The silence is too much for me.” Kim says. Maya gives her a small smile and gives a small sigh. “I just needed to get out of there for a while. It’s been a busy morning.” Kim looks at Maya trying to read her face. “I know that feeling.” and then, “Does it also have anything to do with one surly A.D by chance?” “No, no that’s not it at all, far from it. Kim I was able to decrypt one of those hard drives for the case and I just wasn’t prepared for what I saw.” Maya says looking down at her hands. Kim watches her for a second and can’t help the feeling that there is something more. “That’s great Maya. I mean it’s great that you were able to decrypt that drive. I know how hard they have been working on those. I’m sure Skinner was impressed.” Kim says. “I wouldn’t know. I left there before he had a chance to say much of anything. Kim…can I ask you a personal question about the A.D?” “Sure.” “Do you ever have a hard time talking to Skinner? I mean, do you ever get nervous around him?” Maya finished and then glances sideways over at Kim. Kim thinks for a second and then says, “Maybe in the beginning but not so much anymore. I think I understand his moods better than anyone. My advice, don’t let him back you down, if you stand up for yourself and say what it is you have to say you will gain his respect. But something tells me that isn’t the answer you are looking for.” “I don’t know. I guess, to be honest with you, I’d like to get to know him more…on a personal level. Have a casual conversation with the man. But maybe the time just isn’t right for any of that. He seems to be all business but every now and then I sense that he has more to say. I just don’t know how to get him to open up or how I can stay calm enough to get him to that point. Do you know what I mean?” Kim gives her a small smile. “I think I know what you’re getting at. Maya, my advice to you, you don’t have much time with him. Soon enough your contract will end and you will have lost the perfect chance to get to know the man. Just come out and say what you have to say. If he shuts you down, then you know where he is at.” “You’re right.” Maya agrees. “Besides, I may not have known you that long but I just don’t take you for someone who would back down when she had something to say, no matter who the person was. I would think in your line of business you know how to hold your own with tightly wound execs and such.” Kim says kiddingly. “Oh and Maya, in case you were wondering Skinner IS single and I think you would be good for him. He could use someone like you in his life.” Maya gives her a mock shocked look. “Just saying.” Kim says. The two women head out to lunch and spend another hour talking about work and the A.D. When Maya heads back to the lab she is feeling better and is looking forward to having a little chat with Skinner. Skinner slowly paces around the lab. He has been feeling quite anxious since returning from Mulder’s office. He gave himself a good mental kick in the ass and decided that he needs to apologize to Maya for being so rash earlier. He realized that he should have been more sensitive in the situation and wants her to know that she has been more help than he can express. He checks his watch and then looks up at the clock on the wall. He guessed that she must have gone out with Kim somewhere since she wasn’t around when he stopped by his office earlier. At that moment he hears the lab door open and Maya walks in. She doesn’t see him at first as she makes her way over to her station. She then looks over in his directions when she realizes for the first time that she is not alone in the room. She gives him a small sweet smile and instantly he feels better that she isn’t too upset. He clears his throat and then speaks. “Maya, I think I owe you an apology.” He begins. She looks slightly surprised by his words and then he continues walking over to sit next to her. “I…I first want to just say thank you. I am immensely impressed with your work and I can’t thank you enough for the progress you have made with this case.” “It is my pleasure sir. I appreciate being given this opportunity.” She says. “Maya...” Skinner interrupts before she can go on. “I’m sorry about the way I spoke to you earlier. I know you would never compromise this case. I didn’t mean to come across the way I did. I am also concerned that the disturbing images that you saw may have made you uncomfortable with this case. If there is anything I can do, or if you need to talk about it, well, please don’t hesitate to come to me.” Skinner watches her for a reaction as he speaks. Maya stares at the man before her as he is telling her all this. She can’t believe the turn of events. She looks at his mouth as he is talking. She holds back the urge to lean over to him and cover his mouth with hers. Her attraction is strong at this moment and if it weren’t for where they were, she probably would have made her move. Maya has never been one to be shy or hold back when it came to men. She has never had a problem making the first move when she was interested in someone. But due to her long history of short lived flings she wanted to be careful with how she proceeded with this man. She had a feeling that he would back off if she suddenly came on to him. She sensed that he was the type of man that liked to be in control. She decided right then that she would follow his lead. If he was interested in her then she would try to be patient. They sat and talked for a while about how to proceed with the other hard drives. She was able to convince Skinner that she had been a little upset earlier about the images on the drive but was ok now. As they spoke she was able to get him to talk about himself. She was becoming even more intrigued by him as he was telling her about joining the FBI right out of the military. How he had thought he would never see the types of things he had seen during the war while he was working in the FBI and the first time he discovered how wrong he was. He had made a joke about how he had earned every lost hair on his head. She enjoyed listening to him talk and knew that she could fall hard for this man. “Do you ever think you will have a normal life after all this?” I ask. “I think about that sometimes, I’m not sure if that will ever be possible. I’ve seen too much to ever feel that I will ever have any normalcy in my life again. When I was married, I at least had some stability in my home life. Not so much anymore.” “Do you think this type of work has an effect on personal relationships?” I ask carefully. I had known he was divorced from talking with Kim earlier. She had mentioned that she felt his job was a huge contributor to the failing of his marriage. “Only if you let it. I have made the mistake of letting my work cross over into my personal life.” He paused for a moment and then continued. “If I had another chance I wouldn’t let that happen again.” The two of them continued to talk as Maya began on the second hard drive. This man fascinated her. She couldn’t believe how attracted she was to him. Skinner wasn’t the typical type of man she was interested in. She usually related to easy going, intelligent types who were just as flirtatious and open as she was. These types of men were common and she easily fell into flirtations with them. But Skinner provided her with a challenge. He was closer to the strong silent type. But she sensed he wasn’t so much as silent but more of a mystery that she needed to crack. She could sense that he was strong willed, liked to be in charge in all matters in his life and maybe a bit stubborn in his ways. But she was ok with that. In fact it kind of turned her on even more. She was excited to see what she could discover about this man. When Skinner got home that night he felt good. He sat relaxing on his couch thinking about the turn of events that day. He had noticed something about Maya that afternoon that he hadn’t before. The way she looked at him when she thought he wasn’t watching. At first he wasn’t so sure but then he caught her looking at him while he was reading through a file and she smiled bashfully at him before looking away. It caught him briefly by surprise but it was all he could do not to walk over to her and possess her mouth with his. He enjoyed talking with her today and their conversations were comfortable. She was quite easy to talk to once he got past his nerves. She talked briefly about her life here in DC and how her job made it hard for her to date since her contracts often sent her out of state. Just knowing that she was single too was all his mind could focus on while she was talking to him. He watched her mouth as she spoke. Her lips were full and soft. When she spoke he liked to watch her mouth articulate each word. At one point while she was talking he watched as she reached up to pull her hair back and then over the front of her right shoulder, her long, dark hair accentuating her face. He swallowed deeply watching this and he needed to mentally collect himself. He had a strong attraction to this woman. She was intelligent and beautiful. He liked her confidence and felt that this could be just the woman who could handle him. He knew his personality could be strong and overpowering at times. But he felt she could handle him just fine. He took a sip of his drink while he sat thinking. He wondered what her habits were like when she got home from work. He imagined her walking in her front door, immediately kicking off her shoes and beginning to undress. He imagined her pulling up her long hair after undressing and sinking her naked body into a hot bath. She would then slowly work her hands up and down her long smooth limbs cleaning her sun kissed body. He could see her leaning her head back with her eyes closed relaxing after a long day. God, he wanted to see these things for himself. He took another sip of his drink and leaned back closing his eyes. His mind began to drift to her bathing again. This time he imagined himself there in the room with her, sliding in the tub behind her, working his hands over her back and shoulders. Rubbing along her neck line and kiss a trail behind it. He could feel his belly stirring at the thought. He slides his hands around the front of her body pulling her back to him, running his hands over her soft full breasts and down her belly. She would allow him to discover her body with his touch moaning softly in response. His hands would continue downwards between her legs and rubbing along her thighs. She would grab one of his hands and softly direct him to her arousal. She would then lift herself to stand and offer her hand to him. Together they would dry off and she would lead him to her bed. In his fantasy he would take her slowly and softly making love to her until she was fully satisfied. He knew though, if given the chance that isn’t how it would be. He wanted to ravage her small frame under his larger one. His bodies force would crush hers over and over. He wanted to hear her scream his name as he took her body for his own pleasure. He moaned softly deep in his throat with the thought. He slowly sat up and ran his thumb and index finger along the bridge of his nose under his glasses. Placing his glass of whiskey down, he got up and headed to bed. He knew he would have sweet dreams that night. FBI Headquarters – Computer Crimes Lab Thursday 8:30AM The next morning Maya had spent sitting with Mulder and Mike Stern explaining the methods she had used to determine the decryption code for the first drive. She hadn’t gained much headway on the second drive the day before and the same decryption method that was used for the first drive failed on this second drive. She was fascinated with the way Mulder’s mind thought. The man was a genius but a little insane in his method of thinking. He had her and Mike laughing the whole morning with his quips and ideas about X-Files cases he worked on with Scully. There were really some odd cases and Mulder had Maya blown away with his stories. She felt comfortable with the two men and was able to bounce off her ideas to them receiving excellent feedback with ways to proceed with the second drive. Though the morning was enjoyable she was looking forward to seeing Skinner again. She had seen him only briefly that morning exchanging quick hellos before Mulder and Mike came in. Skinner must have disappeared into his office. She had hoped he would come back in. It was approaching noon when Mulder and Mike finally left her alone in the lab. This was the first time she really had the whole lab to herself. Kim was out of the office today and Maya had decided to stay in and work through lunch. She sat at her terminal for a moment and then grabbed the hard drive she had been working on and headed out of the lab. She walked over to the Assistant Directors office and knocked lightly on Skinners door. She could hear movement from behind the door. She stepped back slightly when the door opened and Skinners large frame stood before her. “Good Morning sir. Is this a bad time?” She said giving him a small smile. Skinners eyes lit up as soon as he saw her. He stood aside and invited her in asking her to take a seat in one of the chairs facing his desk. Maya made herself comfortable and placed the hard drive in the empty seat next to hers. “I thought I’d stop by and check in with you before I continued working on the drive on my own. Mulder and Mike were able to get the information they needed and have gone.” “Ah, yes. I appreciate you dropping in.” Skinner replied. “If you don’t mind giving me a few minutes I just have a few things to finish up here and I’ll head back over with you.” He gave her a long look and then, “Will you be having lunch today Ms. Hernan…Maya?” “I figured I’d work through lunch today to play some catch up. This second drive is throwing me for a loop with the encoding used on it.” I replied. “Well, I was thinking about ordering in if you would like anything. There is no reason why you can’t eat and work.” He slides over a menu across his desk. Maya sits forward to grab it and sits back to read through the menu. After placing their order they easily fall into conversation. Maya notices that he isn’t wearing his suit jacket and admires how his starch white shirt stretches over his upper body. She can’t help being obvious looking him over and doesn’t seem to care whether he notices this or not. They spend the next hour in his office talking and eating together. She asks him about Mulder and his eccentricities getting an eye rolling response from Skinner. She can’t help laughing at his response and he can’t help melting inside hearing her laugh resonate throughout his office. Skinner couldn’t remember the last time anyone laughed like this in his office. He found it to be a refreshing change and was enjoying their time together and didn’t want it to end. She had been on his mind all morning and when she showed up at his door his heart had almost leapt out of his chest. He was proud of himself for staying composed when he invited her into his office and then asked her to join him for lunch. He almost lost that same composure when her eyes began openly admiring his body while they were talking. He noticed that she was really enjoying the view and if he wasn’t mistaken even caught a glimpse of her licking her lips. Oh, he could get used to enjoying this. He had decided this morning that he wanted to ask her out to dinner that coming Friday. He kept running the idea through his head all morning and went as far as determining that it wasn’t necessarily against policy to fraternize with contracted employees. Maya technically reported to the Director but was under Skinners orders. He wanted her to be under him in other ways. He enjoyed her company and didn’t want to waste any more time with the work formalities that their conversations mostly consisted of. He was looking forward to getting to know her on a more personal level and if she let him get to know her one step further, well, he wouldn’t hesitate there either. As they finished up their lunches and began cleaning up he began to move their conversation into another direction. “Maya, have you tried that new Saigon Garden restaurant down on 14th?” “No, I have been meaning to though, I hear they have great Bún chà.” Skinner gave her a surprised look. “You are familiar with Vietnamese food then?” “I know a thing or two about food. Don’t look so surprised. It just so happens that Vietnamese food is my favorite. You know that dish then?” “That was a staple while I was over in Vietnam during the war. You haven’t tasted Bún chà until you’ve had it from a street side vendor. The best food for the soul I personally think.” He says amused, thinking how he continues to be pleasantly surprised the more he discovers about this woman. “Well, what I was getting at is, well…I was wondering if you would like to join me for dinner on Friday night.” “I’d love to.” She replies before he could say anything else. They look at each other for a long moment and smile. Both rise simultaneously to head back to lab for the remainder of the afternoon. Both feel slightly giddy and temporarily at a loss for words as they walk side by side down the hall together. The remainder of the afternoon was relatively relaxed between the two. Maya continued to plug away at the second hard drive but tried to balance between that and talking to Skinner. She really enjoyed their talks and hearing about the types of things that the FBI dealt with. She felt that Skinner played down his role stating he was simply a paper pusher and spent most of his time behind a desk. She just couldn’t imagine this man stuck in an office all day. At the end of the day Skinner walked Maya to her car. He stepped in taking her keys from her hand and opened her driver’s side door for her. She stepped forward to get into her car and stopped turning toward him. “I look forward to our dinner together tomorrow. I’m glad you asked me.” She said looking up at him. Standing before her, it was all he could do not to grab her and pull her to him. “I look forward to it to. Have a good night Ms. Hernandez.” She gave him a big smile and then said, “Good night to you, Mr. Skinner.” He watched as she climbed into her car and drove away. He wished it were tomorrow. That night Maya stood standing in front of her closet wrapped in a towel trying to figure out what she was going to where tomorrow for their date. They decided to head out to dinner straight after work so she needed to find something that was sexy but still appropriate for work. She tried on a few things discarding them one after another onto the bed. The weather was just warming up after a long wet spring. She wanted to wear something that would show off her skin a little, being one of her best assets after all. She found a strapless dress that she really wanted to wear but would need to wear a suit jacket over it during the day. She zipped the back of the dress up and took a look at herself in the mirror. The dress was a wine color with a silky cotton material. She knew the bust line of the dress would not be appropriate for the office but she could get away with it with a buttoned suit jacket. The dress fit her body like a glove and the length ended right above her knees. She tried on a few suit jackets with the dress and stood admiring herself once she found the perfect one. A devilish little smile spread across her face. This could work, she thought. She slid on a pair of black stilettos and decided upon the thigh high black stockings to accompany them. Skinner will have no idea what is in store for him until our date. She slid off the suit jacket and worked on completing her outfit underneath for their date. As she settled into bed for the night she couldn’t get her mind off the week’s events. This had been one of the most interesting contracts she had ever been assigned to. Her thoughts turned to the Assistant Director. She found it sweet the way he had asked her out to dinner. She now knew that he most definitely had an interest in her and she was glad she had let him take the lead. She closed her eyes thinking about him. She pictured him wearing his white shirt sitting in his office flipping through case reports at his desks. She wondered if he ever loosened his tie or undid any of the top buttons of his shirt while he was working alone. She began to imagine him sitting back in his chair setting his glasses on his desk. Removing his tie and undoing the top 2 buttons of his shirt, his chest hair breaking free up top. She pictured herself coming up behind him and rubbing his strong shoulders relieving the day’s stresses. She would touch his neck and the soft hair at the base of his head. She wanted to place small kisses all over the top of his beautiful bald head, working her hands down the front of this shirt into his chest hair. Her fingers would begin unbuttoning the front of his shirt further so she could slide her hands down onto his chest and play softly with his nipples feeling them hardening between her fingertips. Not long after he would pull her down and claim her mouth working his tongue slowly, intermingling with hers. He would then gently move her to sit in front of him at the edge of his desk standing between her legs with his hands on either side of her face as he continues to kiss her. She would begin to undo his belt buckle and unzip him sliding her hands along his hips and grabbing his firm sexy ass. She would feel him moan into her mouth and would know that if she reached back around that he would be aroused. She wanted him to take her with all his strength right there on that desk. She wondered if he ever would. Maya laughed to herself quietly leaning over to turn out the light. She lay there in the dark and snuggled into her comforter. Closing her eyes again, this time she let him have his way with her on that desk. The scenario in her mind changed a bit to him bending her over his desk sliding up her skirt and whispering in her ear what he planned to do her. She would of course obey his every request and encourage him in his conquest over her body. She imagined he would be a demanding lover and fantasized that he would easily make his orders known as to how he wanted her to please him and how he would her. The thought turned her on completely and she had no problem being his docile servant granting his every need. Maya slept well that night.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
