SUMMARY: What if a serial killer's fantasy is for Mulder to eternally play his game? Part of the What if Universe, a group of stories that ask the ever intriguing question, What if . . . Note: This story is hardcore MT. There you were warned, don't blame me for heart attacks and the like. :0) June 1st, 1990-Baltimore, Maryland Mulder ran into his house quickly "Lara! Lara!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, a group of FBI agent's following after him "Search the house." "Lara! Sebastian?!" Mulder screamed, crumpling the note in his hand as he searched room after room, not seeing his family. "Sebastian! LARA! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ANSWER ME DAMN IT!" "Mulder calm down, maybe she's out with a friend." His partner Reggie Perdue said calmly secretly hoping he was right. "No! Her cars here, there is no way she's out anywhere without her car. She loves that thing, she doesn't ride with anyone. Especially not now, not with Havers around. He sent this note to me to taunt me!" Mulder looked at the note again, frustrated. 'Look in your own backyard, Foxy.' "Backyard." he muttered, running out back stopping cold when he saw them. Lara, face down in Sebastian's kiddie pool, the water red with blood, Sebastian, hanging from the clothesline, swaying gently with the breeze. "OH crap!" Reggie said when he saw what stopped Mulder, and he ran to hold Mulder back. Mulder pushed him away, running to Lara. "Lara? Lara honey? Oh baby come on speak to me." he said turning her over, seeing the deep slash marks in her face, neck and chest. Her hands were floating free from her body in the pool. Mulder gulped, going over to Sebastian. The boy's eyes were closed, a small caliber bullet hole between his eyes, his neck twisted in the clothesline. Mulder trembled as he touched his son's sneakers. "Mulder don't touch him without gloves, he could have what we need to catch him. Mulder?" Reggie said trying to remain objective. "He wore them. He wore my sneakers. I just bought them for him yesterday . . . I didn't think they'd fit. God, he was getting so big." Reggie touched Mulder's shoulder sympathetically "Mulder, I'm so sorry." The forensics team moved to get Sebastian down and Mulder pulled his gun on them making them freeze. "Don't touch him." Mulder growled "We . . . " "He's my son! No one touches him but me." "Yes sir, lets get the woman." They said leaving quickly. Mulder held Sebastian to him gently as he untwisted the rope from his neck. His limp body fell into Mulder's arms and he hugged it tightly, finally letting the tears come. Reggie tried to think of something to say, but he couldn't. What was there to say? The crazy fuck killed his family, killed his best friends family. Reggie kneeled next to Mulder, holding him as he sobbed.
