Title:  Out of the Cold
Author:  Vickie Moseley
Finished: April 25, 1999
Summary:  It's 1991.  Fox Mulder has been a profiler under Bill
Patterson for over a year and a half.  He's facing one of his hardest
cases, and a nasty cold.  Both of them are about to get a lot worse.
Category: X A MT (no Scully)
Rating:  R for language, violence (no sex--sorry ;)
Archive:  Yes
Disclaimer:  If I owned them, this would be the NEXT X Files
book <G>  But since I don't, no copyright infringement on 10-13,
Fox or anyone else is intended.  But if you are looking for authors,
I'm looking for work <VEG>
Started a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.  Finished March,
1999.
Author's notes:  This is my longest work, to date.  I started it as a
simple little story, Mulder with a cold.  I wanted to venture back
into the heady days of Bill Patterson, Reggie Purdue and Jerry
LaMana.  I wanted to know Fox Mulder before the X Files, before
Scully, even before he decided his sister was abducted by aliens. 
And yes, even before he ran across a *itch named Diana :)

The following is what came of that wish.  It took a great deal of
time, and a lot of simmering on the back burner.  

I am not a doctor, so please forgive any medical inaccuracies you
find.  I have had pneumonia, and have nursed someone with
pneumonia, so I'm not a total novice in that regard.  As for the
mental institution near the end, I need to thank a lot of people who
have forged that trail before me.  Not the least of which is the
wonderful writer, Amperage, whose work 'the Sacrifice' was one
of the first 'long' works I read.  Also, Goo and Amp's excellent
efforts in Oklahoma, which gave us one view of the young Fox
Mulder, must be mentioned here.  JoAnn Humly gave us a glimpse
of Mulder at the Academy, her work blazed this trail also.  

Dedication:  No work that's 25 parts long can exist without a lot of
beta readers.  Some of my beta readers have seen this work
languishing for months (even years) at a time.  These hardy souls
deserve far more than just a thank you in my author's notes, but
here it is.  Thanks (in alpha order) to Amanda, Brandon, Kathy,
Kristina, Sally, Susan & Ten.  Each and every one of you are in here
somewhere.  You'll know you when you see you :)

Posting notes:  For the sake of readers who like to read a story
from start to finish, this story will be posted complete on MulderTorture 
Anonymous and my own website listed below.  For all mail lists (MTA, 
XFC, and any others it might appear on), it will be posted 5 parts per
day.  It's a 25 part story (not counting the disclaimer, which is part 00)

Thanks for your indulgence :)  Feedback is appreciated, greatly! <G>

Now featuring 'Out of the Cold':

"Bill Patterson stood in the door way, looking to Mulder just like
one of God's avenging angels.  His thinning hair and dark rimmed
glasses lead to the confusing image that this man was a scholar, a
teacher.  Mulder alone knew the truth.  This man was the Marquis
de Sade, with a badge and gun."
