~ Sorry this is such a short chapter, but I need to respond to my faithful reviewers.
~ Spooky-Angel – I love you. You are my most faithful reviewer. Hehe, I loved that episode too! I'm glad you like the mix of suspense/comedy. It's what I was trying for. Did you like the scene where Scully told Mulder what her second job was?
~ jd_burns – Haha! I didn't even think of having Scully batting her eyelashes. It would have been perfect!
~ Andrew – I'm glad you like it! I thought it would be a fun sort of switch to write it this way. Thanks for reviewing
~ Cb15 – Glad I converted someone. Funny fics all the way~
After following the FBI's standard procedure for protecting an individual throughout the night, the agents settled back to wait out the night in shifts.
"So, Mulder. Would you care to give me your ideas on what the hell just happened?" Asked a smug looking Scully.
"Funny you should ask, because I'm sure my ideas will greatly differ from your ideas. So, since you seem to have all the answers, why don't you go first?" Replied Mulder.
"Well, I think *anyone* should be able to see that that was witchcraft. It was obvious, with the wind, the floating apparition, the voice, and Kathryn walking towards danger. She seems to have her head on her shoulders. She knows better than that." Said a now very smug Scully
"Now, then, for my theory. I think there was a projector hidden somewhere in the restaurant, along with a fan. That was how your 'apparition' was there. The voice came from the sound system. All you would need is a microphone and something to change your voice." Answered Mulder.
"Right then, how do you explain Kathryn's behavior?" Countered Scully.
Mulder wasn't
beaten yet. "Pre-hypnotic suggestion."
"Mulder, after everything that just
happened, why do you just try to explain away what is so obviously the truth?"
"Because to me it is not so 'obviously the truth'. There are a million other possibilities that are *far* more likely than witchcraft."
"Right, like 'Pre-hypnotic suggestion.'" Scully muttered sarcastically. "When would someone have had the time to hypnotize Kathryn?"
Mulder shrugged.
"And another thing. How did those three little girls get all the way from Tex-freakin-arkla to Dallas in one day, with every cop in the state looking for them, without being witches? They don't have anyone that would do that for them."
"Four days. It's been four days." Muttered Mulder under his breath.
"The attacks started three days ago." She replied triumphantly.
"*Your* guess is as good as mine." He replied.
