After William "I'm a little concerned, Mrs. Hale," the pharmacist said. "Most of the doctors don't like to prescribe this." "Please don't worry. I've been taking them for years," Scully explained, but the pharmacist still looked doubtful. "Dr. Scully," he said, reading from the prescription. "Perhaps I could call and have him switch you to a safer medication." "That's very kind, but I know these will work for me," Scully said. "There's a real risk of overdose," the pharmacist warned her. "Plus, it wouldn't be wise for you to become pregnant." "I know," Scully said. "I know." "You do look worn out," he conceded. "Maybe these will help." At last he relinquished the white bag. Scully paid for her purchase and left the store. Doggett was waiting for her in his car. "You're sure you're okay?" he asked as she got in. "I'm fine," she said. "I just want to go home." "I'll come keep you company," he said as he pulled away from the curb. "You've had a hell of a rough day." "No, thank you," she said. "I just want to sleep." end
