Chapter 2 X-Case.
When they were back at the station, Mulder took Scully aside in a deserted room.
"Mulder, what's the matter with you? You've been acting strange all day.
"Look, when I tell you this, you're going to think it's crazy. It's seems pretty crazy to me, myself. But just hear me out, okay?"
"Okay..." Scully said, sounding confused.
"Good. Now, you remember those scars on her?"
"How could I forget?"
"Then you realised that they were in straight lines?"
"Well. yes, I guess I noticed that. Why?"
"Well, if the stepfather did it, he wouldnt've bothered to put them in such detailed lines, would he?"
"Well, it depends on the person. Did he seem determinized?"
"Not really. When I searched his room, it wasn't orderly at all. And I didn't find any kind of knife, either."
"Bloodspots?" Scully asked, scowling.
Mulder shook his head.
"Nothing."
"Okay." Scully said. "So, back to the original topic."
"I think she's doing it to herself."
Scully's eyes widened.
"Mulder, why on earth would you think something like that?"
A twinkle came in Mulder's eye, but no smile was on his face.
"Told ya you would think it was crazy."
