Rating: PG-13 (language, some violence)
Spoilers: None this chapter...
Mulder and Scully sat on the plane to Chicago. They had just been assigned a new case.
A man residing in Chicago had been receiving an "early edition" of the Chicago Sun Times. In the literal sense. He had been getting "tomorrow's paper, today," has he called it.
It had fallen under the category as an X-File, although Mulder had not completely agreed. Scully had accepted it. Mulder had to, too. It was their first real case in a while. A nice break from research assignments.
The plane was about to land. Mulder and Scully buckled their seatbelts. Scully looked over at Mulder, who just stared ahead. She gave a small smile and then turned back to the window.
"What's the name of the bar again?" Scully was constantly having to smooth her hair with her hand because of the frequent breezes that seemed to penetrate the wall of no-frizz extra-hold hairspray. Haha.
"McGinty's," Mulder said over the traffic. They were walking down the sidewalk, trying to find a certain bar among the others.
"There it is," she said, pointing to an old fire department turned into a bar.
They entered the bar, and so no sign of Gary Hobson. They had seen a picture, and the not-so-crowded room showed no signs of him.
Mulder stayed by the door, looking over the faces again, while Scully walked up to the bar and asked a man where Gary was.
"Oh, he's in the office. Is he expecting you?" He pointed to a door on the far side of the bar.
Scully's simple reply was "Yes," then she waved to Mulder and they crossed the room.
Mulder opened the door and Scully followed him inside.
"Gary Hobson?" Mulder and Scully showed him their badges. Gary was doing paperwork.
"Erm...yes?"
"You were expecting us...Special Agents Mulder and Scully, FBI," Mulder introduced.
"Oh, uh, yeah, have a seat." He seemed a little flustered.
"We were investigating your...paper," Scully said with a touch of her old skeptic self. "You claim to get tomorrow's paper today."
"Yeah, well, I do."
"Do you have proof, Mr. Hobson?" Mulder asked.
"Of course," he reached in a drawer and pulled out an issue of the Chicago Sun Times. He handed it to Mulder.
Tomorrow's Chicago Sun Times.
