This kid Gibson is amazing. Luckily I had the opportunity to talk to him before I left for Mulder's. I had to keep an eye on him. I took a left down the hallway, and finally turned into the room they kept him in.

"Hi there," I said smiling to him, closing the door behind me. He was watching TV once again.

"Hi," he said, turning to me I sat down in a chair next to the bed. He was watching some cartoon, I wasn't sure what it was, I don't get to watch TV that often. "He was thinking about you," he said a half an hour later, as the show ends.

"What?" I asked, not sure what he was talking about.

"You were going to ask me if your partner was thinking about you, when I said he was thinking about one of you," he answered, turning back to the TV.

I blushed. "Oh." Was all I could think of in response. This was amazing. Never have I witnessed a mind reader before, that I believed was actually real Stupendous Yappi? Naah...

"But she was thinking about him," he continued the conversation.

That would figure. Ever since she appeared, it looked as if she was trying to steal Mulder away. Steal him away from whom? Me? Oh my... Am I really that jealous?

"Yes."

"Yes, what?"

"You really are that jealous."

"Damn." I forgot he can read my mind. "You have the hots for your partner." My face reddened . It's as if he was teasing me.

"I do not!" Deny everything It's the first thing you do when you're caught.

"Yes you do."

"Not." I felt very immature fighting with a 12-year-old, so I decided to stop. "It's more of a mutual attraction."

"Yeah, uh huh I can read your mind." Oh yeah. Lucky him. Wait! This could get interesting.

"You didn't happen to read Agent Mulder's mind did you?" I asked curiously enjoying myself.

"Sure did. Like I said before, he's got a dirty mind," he said, straightening his glasses. I gave a small laugh in response.

"What about Diana? What does he think about her?" This could be a easy way of finding out who the hell she is. 'Chickadee'... What the hell is that anyway? Girlfriend??

"He wasn't expecting to see her, he had forgotten all about her, and that its nice to see her again.But he doesn't think about her like he does you."

I smiled, Ha! Take that, Diana! "Oh really?"

"Yeah.... he's.. this could be giving out more information than you needed to know."

"Do tell." Yep, like I said. Very interesting. This boy has a wonderful gift.

"I dunno.." He looked down at the floor.

"Maybe I can arrange for a huge banana split to be sent down here?" I bribed him. So what? What's wrong with that? I'm investigating. Just in a different way...

"Ok! Now were talking. He's afraid you don't feel the way he does. He always wonders what its like to kiss you, and he likes Baywatch." I smiled. The door opened and Diana's face popped out from behind it.

"I'm here to relieve you," she said.

"Ok," I replied and gathered my things I said good-bye to Gibson and walked out, then got into my car and headed over to Mulder's. But nothing happened like I planned. Instead the worst happened.

The End
