Disclaimer: the characters from the X-Files aren't mine.
Author's Note: It's been awhile since I've written an X-Files story. But I've been re-watching the series after a couple of years and decided its time to get back into it. So here it is. It is set sometime after season four.

The woman peered through the window and watched as the tall man rifled through some of the paperwork. She was in medical centre and the man was a doctor. She glanced behind her before entering the lab.
The man looked up surprised, " Can I help you?"
" Don't you recognize me?" the woman asked and he shook his head. She reached into her jacket pocket and withdrew her gun.
" Do I know you?"
" Yes, you do." The woman replied, stepping closer. A desk was separating her and the doctor.
The doctor stared at the petite woman and frowned. Then his eyes widened with disbelief, " It can't be-"
Those were the last words he uttered before a gunshot rang out, piercing the quietness of the lab.
The man slumped to the ground, mouth and eyes wide open. The woman seethed her gun, tucked a strand of loose hair behind an ear and left the lab.
Mission was almost complete. There were a few more to deal will with.
Special Agent Dana Scully and Fox Mulder were at a meeting with AD Walter Skinner. They were getting briefed on a case and Mulder wasn't liking it. He wanted to pursue his own case, but Skinner wasn't hearing of it.
" But sir-"
" Christopher Rendell is a well known con artist Agent Mulder; he's been all over the State stealing identities of unsuspecting men. The last man he murdered. We need to set up a-" he was interrupted when his assistant knocked on the door.
" Yes?"
" There are two police officers here sir."
" What do they want?"
" They want to speak to Agent Scully."
Scully turned to look at her in surprise. She stood up as the two officers entered the office.
" Agent Scully?"
" Can I help you?" she glanced at her partner who shrugged.
Scully had no time to react as she was grabbed and pushed against the wall. Skinner stood up and glared at them.
" What is the meaning of this?" he demanded.
" Agent Scully, you are under arrest-"
" For what?" Mulder asked, getting to his feet, " Get your hands off her-"
" For the murder of Dr. Ryan Travis."
