Hoover Building, Washington D.C.
The day was dead. Well, it had been dead for over 3 weeks now. Not a single x-file, Mulder thought to himself as he leaned back in his chair, and threw yet even more pencils over the ceiling of his desk. Usually, by now, they would've at least been assigned to work on a case in the VCU, or the least aid in an investigation. He continued to throw more pencils in his ceiling. Just then, the door quickly opened, startling Mulder and causing him to fall backwards in his chair.
Scully walked in. "Mulder, I brought the-"A bit confused, she stopped when she noticed Mulder was nowhere to be seen. He slowly stood up and pulled his chair back up, then dusted his pants off. She let out a small laugh before speaking. "It's nice to see that you really working hard on finishing upat paperwork that's due". said Scully sarcastically. "Yeah, I was just taking a small break." replied Mulder, as he sat back down in his chair. When he did so, a couple of the pencils he had just thrown up on the ceiling fell on his head. He looked up at the ceiling as did Scully for a brief moment. "Typically when people take breaks, they do so once they've already been working, Mulder" said Scully with a bit of an annoyed look to her. "Scully, I was working. Of course I'm not finished though." replied Mulder. "Oh, I'd say it looks complete to me." Scully replied as she glanced up at the ceiling. His own glance met with the floor for a brief moment. "Here's the doughnuts and coffee you wanted." said Scully, placing the brown paper bag on his table along with a cup of coffee. She took out a glazed one and took a bite.
Just then the phone rang. Mulder answered the call. Scully looked at him interested to know what was going on. He hung up the phone. "I'll be right back." he assured her, as he left the office momentarily. He returned to the office 5 minutes later with an enthusiastic expression on his face.
"Hey Scully, take a look at this." said Mulder as he placed the crème colored envelop in front of Scully, who was now sitting in his chair. She took out the papers from inside. "Ok, 3 murders, all within the past couple weeks, no leads...now explain to me what's so special about this case?" asked a still bored agent Scully. "I was JUST getting to that, Scully." said a still enthusiastic agent Mulder, while hitting the light switch and turning on the projector.
He showed her 3 slides. "Three victims, all with the same wounds and cause of death." he said pointing to the slides. "I see that much, but what makes this an x-file? This is just a series of murders from the same killer." said Scully. "Yes, true, but there's also another thing that they all had in common. They were all devout followers of Santeria." pointed out Mulder. "Ok, I still don't see how this is an x-file, because is obviously something that has to do with their religion. Human sacrifice is common in some cults." said Scully. "I realized that too, until I did a little more research." Mulder replied. "Mind sharing this 'research' with me?" she asked in response. "Sure, I'll explain it all on the way there." he said. "On the way where?" asked Scully, now puzzled. Mulder smiled at her sheepishly.
"Pack your bikini and sunscreen, Scully, we're going to Miami!"
