She had just been escorted here by four men and I realise what a mistake it was to let her out of the loop. She had just taken matters in her own hands and followed Mulder.

don’t know how to explain to you how hard it is to be their boss. Mulder and
Scully share a bond I can’t begin to understand. Partners, friends and maybe
lovers. Lots of agents at the
I am their AD. I like to believe they trust me but they never had inappropriate behaviour that I can tell. One thing I am sure of, they are in love with each other. You can’t miss it.
Just watch her, sitting here, worried to no end and angry because she had been caught by the CIA. She fears to lose him. She fears that she won’t see him again. She is probably regretting that she never had the opportunity to admit her true feelings to him.
I feel guilty because I’ve lied by omission. I’ve made Mulder lie to her and ditch her. We all knew she didn’t like it when he went after a lead without telling her. And what did I do? I’ve authorized an undercover mission-a risky one-without thinking about the consequences for them. Personal and professional consequences.
I need to fix it. She deserves to know that I am the one who ordered Mulder to not tell her a word. I am ready to lose their trust if it means I can mend their partnership. I don’t want to be the one breaking them.
I am raising my head. Time to face the music, Walter.
