Mulder's Gone part 2.
While Frohike and Langly were busy looking through online databases for Mulder, Byers volunteered to go to the local library in Maryland and continue the search from there. He had a look through the public records, anything to find Mulder.
He sat at a table at the back of the library as he went through file after file after file. He also made a note of a few files that Langly could look through if he couldn't. He wrote down a Registered Voters information link, for Langly to have a look through, as it includes the missing person's social security number. He also looked through Superior court civil records, incase Mulder was told by the State to leave. He knew they wouldn't be updated in such a short space of time, but it was worth looking.
He jotted down a couple more databases, before thanking the librarian. He then grabbed his notebook and a few files, before leaving the library. Once he returned to the Lone Gunmen offices, he found Langly was arguing with Frohike over a car licence plate. "I'm tellin you, it could be Mulder," Frohike was saying. Langly shook his head. "Look man, Mulder wouldn't rent a car under his first name of Fox. He hates that name. Don't you agree, Byers?" Langly asked his friend. Byers cleared his throat. "I think Langly has a point, Frohike," he said, and Frohike just glared at them.
Langly grinned smugly at Frohike, before turning to Byers. "So," he said. "How did you get on, man?" he asked. In response, Byers placed his files on the table and showed Langly his notepad. "Nothing. No Mulder. But I did jot down a few databases for you to look at. I take it you two haven't found him yet either then?" he asked.
Langly shook his head as he looked at Byers' notes. "He's sly as a fox that one," Langly murmured. "Nice work, nerd," he added as he saw the list Byers made for him. "Let's check it out," Langly said, before making a start on the databases.
Two hours later, Langly sighed a big sigh. Frohike and Byers looked up from their chess game. "Still nothing?" Frohike asked with a raised eyebrow.
Langly rubbed his eyes tiredly. "Absolutely nothin'. I've checked the files Byers got me from the library, the databases, court records, nothing. Mulder has definitely gone, guys," he said. Byers nodded. "We did our best," he said. "I think it's time we told Agent Reyes now," he added. Frohike and Langly nodded. "And then we'll get a takeout," Langly said. "I'm starving."
