Scully sat cross-armed in the passenger seat of Mulder's car, glaring ahead, her eyebrows drawn down, causing her forehead to wrinkle in aggravation.
Mulder glanced at her, almost amused by the pouty look on her face, he thought she looked her best when she was angry.
"Oh, c'mon Scully." He said, giving her a nudge, "Lighten up."
Scully glared at him, her arms still folded in front of her, "Mulder, I'm sick of this. Skinner already has us on probation, and yet here we are, on yet another unauthorized investigation." She said, "I really don't feel like losing my job."
Mulder popped a sunflower seed into his mouth, "Skinner isn't going to do anything, and besides, I know you're curious about this case."
Scully snorted, "Well, seeming as how you haven't told me anything about the case, I don't see how I could be." She said.
Mulder spit the sunflower shell out of the window, "Oh, well." He reached behind him and pulled a folder from the backseat and tossed it in Scully's lap. "Mark Frosting, 37 years old. Went fishing out on lake LaMond with his step-daughter in Gary, Indiana. His wife reports that he never returned."
Scully waited for the real part, the part that would categorize this case as an X-file, but Mulder said nothing else.
"And…?" She asked, becoming even more frustrated with the situation.
"And what?"
"And what makes this an X-file?"
Mulder smiled, "Look at the picture."
Scully sighed loudly and opened the folder, but her breath got caught in her throat "Oh my God." She whispered.
The picture disgusted her. It was of the man, and his 19 year old step-daughter, naked on top of one another. Cuts and slashes decorated their bodies, and the word "SINNERS" was etched into the man's back. Both were in the early stages of decay, but not so much as they couldn't be recognized. Scully couldn't really see the location, the ground around them was covered in a black, soot-like substance.
"Pretty weird, huh?" He asked.
Scully nodded, "Yeah, how'd they die?"
"Well, the police initially thought that they bled to death because of the cuts, but after forensics got there, they turned the man over and realized that both him and the girl had had their reproductive organs cut out, but their external 'parts' were still attached." He said.
"Any suspects?" Scully asked.
"Nope, there were no fingerprints or other evidence, just the bodies."
"What about the weapon used for the cutting?"
Mulder shook his head, "Nope."
Scully studied the picture, "Do you think they had a sexual relationship or do you think the killer placed them like that?"
"Forensics found semen samples on the girl, but no evidence of rape. I think Mr. Frosting here was frosting up his-"
"Alright Mulder, I get it." Scully said, before he could finish.
So, what do you guys think so far? R&R please!
