| Scully is dressed in scrubs, hovering over the dead psychiatrist. She positions the over head lamp above the body. A deep sigh escapes her as she cracks her neck. She clicks the tape recorder on. Scully Subject is doctor Hubert J. Farnsworth. Caucasian male, age: 37. Weight: 170 pounds. Time of death: 2:51 p.m. May 22. Apparent cause of death: stab wound to heart by a ball point pen. I am now examaning the wound. Scully is slightly taken aback by shock from her discovery. Scully There seems to be a small burn radius around the pen. (pause) I am now removing the pen and preparing for the y-incision. Scully removes the pen and starts slicing and dicing. She remains focused on the burned area. Scully The burn around the pen goes straight to the victim's heart. The skin and tissue are charred, but the burn did not clot the blood vessels, which is very... Mulder Strange? Scully clicks off the tape recorder as Mulder enters, file in hand. Mulder looks at the body. Mulder Wow... what happened to this guy? Scully It appears that he was stabbed through the heart with a ball point pen, which is creepy in itself, but there's a small burn area around it. And... Mulder and...? Scully This all happened in the questioning room with Alice. We tried to check the tapes, but something's wrong with them. They're missing the time between him prying Alice's hands off her face and the good doctor sliding down the wall. Mulder That IS creepy. I did a background check on Alice, and it turns out she was adopted. Social services took her away from her parents after they found out they were practicing pagan infant sacrifices. Her adoptive parents have provided her with a middle-class home, good food and nice clothing. If it weren't for that first part, she's your average american pre-teen. Except for her discipline record. She's gotten 4 suspensions lasting two months or longer, 3 refferals, and so many detentions I don't want to count them. They're mostly for fighting. Scully So she has a violent history, so maybe she DID hurt those people on purpose and the psychic phenomena is all made up. It's a classic cry for help. We can't prove she's seeing what she's seeing. Mulder But for most of those accidents she's witnessed she was no where near the people involved. Scully So she made those up too. Mulder No, her past must have something to do with this. We need to speak to her again. Did you get the autopsy data on Ella? Scully Yes. She was mostly chopped up from being sucked under the train, but there were small 1" wide burn marks in sraight lines on parts of her. It's like the wheels of the train burned her... Mulder Just like the doctor... I think I found something. You finish up here and then we'll go question Alice. Scully I don't know if that's possible Mulder... Mulder Why not? Scully She's in a coma. Mulder A coma? What happened? Scully We don't really know. When the guard rushed in, the doctor was dead and Alice had passed out. They thought she'd be fine, but she just lapsed into a coma. Mulder We need to go see her. Mulder leaves and Scully stays to finish up. |
