Scully's Apartment
Scully sat early that morning, files strewn across her floor, books open, and papers flying left and right. She was searching for a motive, any motive, for the potential murders.
"Mulder."
"Mulder? It's me."
"Is something wrong, Scully?"
"No. Why?"
"Oh. You're never up this early."
Scully smiled, "I think found something."
"Your sense?"
"I think I know why Barry may target Garaguso."
"Why?"
"Garaguso's brother put Barry in jail several years ago for 2 murders."
"Then why not go after the brother?"
"Cause when he was on trial he talked about breaking spirits. He may be attacking the brother through Garaguso."
"Its not an uncommon method..I saw it a lot in the violent crimes division....But why the others?"
"What?"
"The people Skinner had seen, the other murder victims."
"Do you have their names?"
"No....but I can get them easily, by the time we're in the office."
"Great."
"SCULLY! MULDER!" Federico burst through the door. "I know why Garaguso recognized his name! His broth-"
"We know." Scully informed flatly.
"Oh. Well, do you know motives for the others?"
"Not yet...."
"They testified against Barry."
"What?" Scully looked up and removed her glasses.
"Yeah. I did a little research." She threw a file at Scully and flopped down in a chair.
"My gosh.....And they never mad a connection?"
"Like you said, not enough evidence to convict.........Where's Mulder?"
"Gone to talk to Skinner. Little bit concerned about something, though he wouldn't say what."
"Hm." She grunted. "Do you think we could hold him in custody under charges of attempted murder?"
"No. He didn't actually attempt it yet."
"He thought about it obviously."
"So do I.....each morning when I see Mulder.......Oh, Hiiii Mulder, what'd did Skinner want?" Scully smiled. Mulder glanced at her suspiciously.
"Apparently the lady was murdered last night..This time the guard said he SAW Barry do it. But, no finger prints. And no way to hold him in custody."
"And he did more than think about it this time." Scully said, exchanging a secret glance with Federico.
"Yeah....We need something to nail him on, or Skinner won't let us make the arrest."
"Do you think there's something to this case you're not seeing?" Scully asked.
"No. He's probably psychic, can do a Model on his victims, then get away with it."
"But the guard SAW him." Federico reminded.
"Where'd you come from?" Mulder asked, surprised since he didn't see her there before.
"Two floors up."
"In the WANTED world?"
"Yeah." She smiled.
"Out! Out casts only!" He said shuffling his files. "But you have a point. He was there, according to the agent posted."
"So what does that mean?" Scully asked.
"I'm not sure....It'll come to me though, that I'm sure of."
"Say, Scully?" Federico piped up a little later, "What did those scans you did of me prove? Other than my being *psychic*?"
"A.D. Skinner received the same results. And When I analyzed the other data, I realized that there was a certain stimuli--fear for someone around you--that caused the psychic connection. It's in several X-Files. You could almost think of it as a bond between twins....If I can get Barry to undergo this test.....I think we'd see that his mental processes that he uses to murder is the stimuli, which is why you had the reaction you did...."
"That's not like you, Scully...." Mulder commented, surprised.
"Believe in the extreme possibilities." Scully said, smiling, and walking out of the office.
"What do you think?" Federico pondered.
"I think she's been hanging around me too long."
"Autopsy number 4422-0044. The patient is a Mrs. Claudia Dwightenbrò, age 94. External overview would show no signs of injury or physical harm. We shall begin with a y-incision."
Dr. Scully began yet another autopsy. Her findings confused her. The lady died of blood loss consistent with being shot, however, no signs of struggle, impact or wound were found. All in all, her medical opinion was she died of a psychological cause.
"Psychological."
"Yeah, Mulder. I don't know how else to explain it. I mean, there is a disease where you think you have something, so all the symptoms show up."
"I know, I know. It's just not like you."
"This would prove your theory, Mulder."
"Yeah, but it still doesn't explain him being there, when he's not there."
"Well, look. He comes back today, we can go over and ask him a few questions."
"I'd like to put him under arrest."
"Skinner won't allow that."
"Skinner doesn't have to know." Mulder smiled, and walked out of the office.
Barry Residence
"Mr. Barry? I'm Agent Fox Mulder, this is my partner, Agent Dana Scully, we're with the FBI. We'd like to put you under arrest for suspected murder. You have the right to remain silent....."
**** "Mr. Barry. You've been seen murdering several people, care to explain?"
"Your evidence would say otherwise, Agent Scully."
"We have reason to believe you committed the murder psychologically."
"Oh, so now I'm psychic?"
"Mr. Barry? I'd like to run a scan on you."
"Not without a lawyer."
"It is a standard test, Mr. Barry," to see if your psychic, She added to herself. "Unless, of course, you have something you're trying to hide?"
"I have nothing to hide."
"Then you'll undergo the scan?"
