EPILOGUE
Authorities were able to find a dried pool of sweat in the stairwell. Through DNA testing they determined it had been Jim Spritzer's. Jim was previously wanted for breaking and entering, but jumped bail. Once he was found he easily gave up his partner for a lighter sentence. Steve Mitchell was caught and convicted of breaking into a home residence, petty theft, weapons theft, rape, and assaulting federal officers. Initially he was sentenced to 30 years without parole, but the judge threw another 10 on the pile.
Scully and Mulder attended therapy sessions together and separately. Two weeks after their attack Mulder returned to work. Scully followed after another week. They would spend time with each other every day, but Scully still found it difficult to be in Mulder's apartment. On a mild October evening they shared a wonderful night walking around DC hand in hand.
