"Timothy Burton, thirty nine. Twenty year veteran with the bureau, he was discovered by his partner this morning after he didn't show at work the last couple of days." Mulder told Scully as she arrived fresh from a meeting at headquarters. "Method of death?" Scully asked as she snapped on a pair of latex gloves & entered the sitting room, where the body was located, Mulder waited patiently while she examined it, he gave her an understanding nod when she stood to face him wearing the same expression he had had upon his arrival three hours ago.
"I don't get it, why would a sound-minded family man suddenly decide to take his own life? On the surface it's a textbook suicide; the note, the self-inflicted wound through the mouth. But something about it just doesn't add up, I just can't put my finger on it." She said to Mulder as she covered up the agent's body frustratingly. "Damn, & here I was hoping you could answer that for me." Mulder said in humorous disappointment as he followed her out, as they headed to their car, Mulder's phone rang. "Well, there's no time to dwell on this one, because they've just found another with the same MO.
"Another bureau agent; another suicide through the mouth, another note. You know, if I didn't know better, I'd say that…" "Someone or something is driving them to it somehow, that's what I was thinking, too." Mulder finished for her as they both eyes the body on the floor before them.
