'Stalker'

Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I OWN nothing & CLAIM nothing!

"What does it say?" Mulder asked as an agent handed Scully a sealed manila folder, Scully ripped it open & studied the results of the tissue samples. "This can't be right." She said as she looked it over again. "It says that the agent used to melt her was a variant of several different kinds of insect digestive juices with traces of unknown synthetic components." Scully said, as if she didn't believe what she was reading. "& Mulder, we don't know for sure if it's some kind of mutant creature or not." Scully said as Mulder opened his mouth to speak. "You really know how to ruin a guy's fun, Scully." Mulder said with a disappointing smile on his face as he sat at his desk.

Scully arrived home totally exhausted, it was after midnight & all she could think about is having a nice long soak in the tub before collapsing into bed. She glanced down at the floor as she turned from setting down her keys to find another envelope on the floor where someone had pushed it under the door. With some reluctance, she opened it.

'Agent Scully,

I see the fundamentals of this case are still baffling you, fear not, I have full confidence that you will solve it & we will get to meet face to face very soon.'

Scully shivered involuntarily as she undressed & slipped into the warm bathwater, it wasn't the interior of the stalker's letters that frightened her, it was what she felt when she read between the lines.

"Hey, guys." Mulder said as he plopped his paperwork & keys onto his desk & tapped some fish food into the tank of his eagerly awaiting fish. He turned around to pick up the remote to the television off the coffee table when something hard connected with the back of his head, knocking him out.
