The Jersey Devil 2
On one cold January Monday morning, Mulder sat at his desk in the X Files office at the FBI, and checked his watch. 9:30am. That's odd, Mulder thought. Scully's usually in by now. As he waited for Scully, Mulder decided to watch the news so he could keep up to date with with current affairs.
Mulder flicked to a news channel, where an interesting event was occuring. "From early this morning there has been an attack in the alleyways of Georgetown, claiming two victims. One was an elderly homeless man, and another victim that has not been found. Witnesses say the creature, or, so-called monster, carried off a second victim. The creature was human like, and officials are checking the local zoos to see if an escaped monkey could have gotten loose.
So far, all the animals have been accounted for. It is a mystery where this second victim was taken. " a reporter was saying.
Mulder perked up with interest at the word 'monster'. He watched the report as the reporter interviewed a homeless man who was the witness, and was saying he saw a human / ape like creature take away a woman. She was screaming but no one could help.
Mulder frowned. The attack was in Georgetown. Scully's neighborhood. "Don't panic," he told himself. There are lots of women in Georgetown. Doesn't mean it was Scully. Mulder then tried once again to call Scully's cell, but still it went through to voicemail. Getting worried now, Mulder tried one last attempt to call her home phone. Voice mail too. Mulder sighed. "Come on, Scully," he muttered out loud. "Where are you?" Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Mulder called out automatically, 'It's open!' thinking and hoping it was Scully. But to his disappointment, it wasn't, it was AD Skinner.
"Have you heard from Agent Scully?" he asked, straight to the point with a worried look on his face.
