It was Halloween night and FBI Special Agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder were getting their son William ready to go out trick-or-treating. Scully was dressing William up in his cute, little bullfrog costume when their next assignment arrived. "What's that?" Scully asked when she saw an envelope had been slipped underneath the door.

"I am not sure," said Mulder as he picked up the envelope and ripped it open.

"It looks like some sort of assignment," Mulder stated. "It says we are needed..."

"Of course we are. On Halloween night; when we are supposed to be taking our son out trick-or-treating."

Scully rolled her eyes. She loved her job, but sometimes, she just wanted to spend quality time with William and Mulder. She didn't always want to be on call, needed at any moment to go on some sort of adventure. William was really looking forward to going trick-or-treating. It was supposed to be a special night for them.

"We could call your mom. She could take William out," Mulder suggested.

Scully looked down into William's adorable face. Because of her job, she had made the world a safer place for her little boy. She and Mulder were needed and their job at the FBI was very important. "I'll call her. What's the assignment?" Scully asked.

"We are being sent to New Orleans," he answered. "To a coven."

"You're kidding!" Scully gasped.

"No, I'm afraid I'm not. You better give your mother a call. Our plane leaves in less than a half hour," he said as he glanced at his watch.

"I'll hurry," Scully said as she reached for her cell phone.

Less than an hour later, they were on the plane, headed toward their destination. Mulder opened a message he received when they had arrived at the airport. "What is it?" Scully asked.

"It looks like a letter from one of the witches."

Mulder began reading the letter aloud to Scully. It said:

Dear Agents Scully and Mulder,

I am writing to you today to ask for your help in finding a lost baby. The baby's mother is a witch. The little one has been kidnapped. The infant is rumored to be the next Supreme witch of her generation. The baby has also shown magical powers. We need your help. The parents of the lost baby are frantic. They would do anything to find their missing child. Because of the delicate nature of this case, I knew you would be perfect to find baby Esmerelda.

I will be waiting for you at the airport.

Sincerely,
Misty Day

"Misty Day!" Scully gasped when Mulder finished reading the letter. "Wasn't she the young witch who was ostracized by the Pentecostal community and burned alive? I saw it on T.V. According to the rumors, she mysteriously revived herself."

Mulder nodded. "I saw that on T.V., too. They say she lives in the swamps. She's rumored to be a powerful necromancer. She has the gift of resurgence – allowing her to revive the dead."

"She is obsessed with Stevie Nicks, believing her to be a white witch. Who would have thought she'd write a letter to us?"

"It looks like we are really needed in New Orleans. A little baby needs us."

"Yes, but who's baby?"
