TITLE: A Day in the Life - 155 Challenge
AUTHOR: Kristen K2
RATING: PG
KEYWORDS: Skinner, Kim
SPOILERS: None, but set in Season 9.
DISCLAIMER: Not mine.
SUMMARY: What happens in the outer office during meetings in
Skinner's.


Juggling two callers on hold and one temperamental computer, while
simultaneously rifling through filing cabinets for a misplaced folder,
she wonders if this day will ever end.

Her printer spits out the necessary report, and she trots down to the
copier to make duplicates. The Minolta repairman points out the run in
her stocking.

She flops back behind her desk just in time to watch the agents file
past, their meeting complete. Only Reyes acknowledges her with a
friendly smile.

Empty box in hand, she heads for the messy conference table, and wipes
up the spilled coffee and forgotten pens and paperclips. She squares
her shoulders with a sigh.

Finished. What's next?

A warm hand settles on her nape, massaging her tired muscles with a
too-brief squeeze.

"Tonight," he promises, his glasses winking at her in the late
afternoon sunlight.

She smiles, re-energized.

The days may be long, but the nights make up for it.
