			      "Incubus"
			An Erotic X-Files Story
			        by DG

			        Part 2


    Trudi stared at the clock above the classroom door, willing the 
second hand to click one more time.  It had already been one of the 
longest days of her life, spent trying to ignore the stares and giggles 
of the students who had heard rumors about the incident at the Road 
Pantry and trying to figure out what the hell she was going to say to 
Gene, and it was still only 2:59 pm.  
     There had been plenty of time to reflect on the incident during 
the past two days, since she had been grounded - confined to her room 
with no phone privileges.  Her mother had even kept her out of school 
and stayed home from work to keep an eye on her yesterday.  Her face 
flushed with shame as she remembered the horrified look on her mothers 
face when she had arrived to pick her up late Saturday night at the 
police station.  It had taken hours of tearful screaming and yelling on 
Trudi's part before her mother had even begun to consider the 
possibility that she had been put under some kind of spell, and if the 
guy from the FBI hadn't called Trudi might still be in her room.  
     The funny thing was this:  not all of her feelings about the 
incident were negative.  Not by a long shot.  Whenever she tried to 
concentrate on what had happened, the feelings of guilt were soon pushed 
aside by memories of the incredible sexual feelings she had experienced.  
Although she clearly remembered being sexually aroused, the specifics of 
what had happened were fuzzy - she could only recall little bits and 
pieces, like tiny, vivid flashbacks.  Putting her lips around Vince's 
cock for the first time and being startled by its warmth.  The intense 
look of animal pleasure on Vince's face while he was fucking her.  The 
truth was, Trudi felt that a whole new world had opened up for her, and 
she suspected that life was going to be a lot more interesting from now 
on.
     However, for now she still had to deal with the considerable 
negative fallout.  At the moment, her greatest concern was her boyfriend 
Gene.  Her mother hadn't even let her call him to let him know what had 
happened, so God knows what he was thinking.  A queasy knot formed in 
her stomach at the thought of Gene hearing all the nasty rumors going 
around school.  Just my luck, she thought.  I'm finally ready for sex, 
and my boyfriend is probably going to dump me.
     The clock performed its double click, and the bell signifying the 
end of another school day at Hallville High rang out joyously, 
interrupting the teacher's half-hearted attempt to explain the quadratic 
equation for what seemed like the hundredth time that year.  
     Trudi grabbed her already-packed knapsack and headed for the door, 
ignoring the shouted last-second homework instructions that she usually 
copied down religiously.  She had bigger problems to deal with than 
algebra homework, she thought to herself as pushed her way out the door.  
Maybe Gene hadn't heard the stories yet and she could do some damage 
control.  
     Figuring that looking her best wouldn't hurt, she was wearing a 
short green skirt which accentuated her long, slender legs, and a tight 
white t-shirt which showed off her high, round breasts.  As she half-
walked, half-ran down the hall she was oblivious to the many admiring 
glances that came her way, not all of them from students. 
     While she was standing in front of her locker, she suddenly heard 
Amy Archer calling her name.  She groaned inwardly - for once she didn't 
feel like talking to her best friend.
     "Trudiiiii.....  I can't believe it!  Where have you been all day!  
Oh my God, is it true?  You are such a slut!  You are such a bad girl!  
I want to hear everything, and I mean everything!"  This was delivered 
in an urgent hiss.
     Amy's cute, perfectly made-up face was suffused with a combination 
of delight and awe.  Nothing impressed her more than wanton sexual 
escapades, and she had been diligently trying to impart this outlook on 
life to Trudi for months.  Now it seemed like all her work had paid off.  
At least she had the sense to keep her voice down.
     "Yes it's true, but it's not like it sounds.  Oh God Amy, can we 
talk about it later?  I've got to find Gene - have you seen him?"
      Although Amy thought that Gene was kind of boring, and that 
having a steady boyfriend cramped ones style, she had the decency to 
look concerned.  
     "No, I haven't seen him today.  Haven't you talked to him?"
     "I think he's avoiding me," said Trudi.  She slammed her locker 
shut and headed for the exit, Amy in tow.  "Maybe I can catch him in the 
parking lot."  
     Amy could see that her best friend was near to tears, and she felt 
a stab of real sympathy.  She and Trudi were extremely close, so close, 
in fact, that Amy was starting to have some feelings for her that went 
beyond friendship.  Not that she was planning to say anything to Trudi 
about it, of course.  
     As they went out the side exit into the parking lot, Trudi saw 
Gene walking toward his blue Camaro, which was parked in its usual spot 
at the back of the lot.  After promising Amy that she would call her as 
soon as she could, Trudi ran after him, reaching the car just as he was 
about to get in.  
     "Gene, wait!  I've got to talk to you...please..."
     Gene stood with the open car door between them, a mixture of 
emotions fighting for control of his face.  He was a thin young man with 
a pale face and thick black hair.  Although he was actually rather good 
looking, he was very quiet and reserved by nature, and he had spent his 
three years of high school on the fringes of the social scene.  Asking 
out a pretty and popular girl like Trudi had been totally out of 
character for him, and he now had the sneaking suspicion that he had 
been made a fool of. 
     "I was worried about you," he said finally.
     "Thanks... I'm all right, I guess.  Have you heard all the 
stories?"
     "You might say that.  Hard to believe, though."  The expression on 
his face said that he believed it all too well.
     "Let's drive somewhere and talk about, OK?  I know what you must 
be thinking, but I really didn't cheat on you.  I mean, I sort of did 
but I really didn't."
     A gust of wind ruffled Genes hair as he stood motionless staring 
at Trudi.  Then a clap of thunder, very close, made them both flinch.
     "Come on Gene - it's going to rain.  Besides, don't you think I 
deserve the chance to at least try and explain?"  
     Gene glanced up at the sky, which had grown ominously dark, and 
finally relented.
     "OK, get in."
     Trudi quickly jumped into the passenger seat and tossed her 
knapsack into the back of the Camaro.  Gene turned the key and the car 
roared to life, emitting a cloud of blue smoke from the tailpipe.  After 
two deafening backfires, the engine settled down to a angry, vibrating 
rumble.
     "Car's running great, sweetie."
     Gene grunted something about the carburetor as he pulled out of 
the lot.  The first drops of rain began spattering against the 
windshield as they headed north, away from the center of town.  Trudi 
collected her thoughts and was about to speak when Gene broke the 
silence.
     "Your mom called me yesterday and told me what happened.  She said 
somebody hypnotized you or something, and made you... do things with 
your boss right there in the store. Is that what happened?"
     "My MOM called you?"  
     "Yep.  She said you were grounded but that she didn't want me to 
hear about it from the kids at school.  Pretty cool of her, actually."
     Trudi felt a rush of gratitude towards her mother, who she would 
have gladly strangled a few times during the past two days.
     "I was hypnotized, Gene, I swear.  It was the weirdest fucking 
thing that's ever happened to me.  I didn't want it to happen, but I 
couldn't stop myself."
     Gene looked over at her and his expression softened.  "OK, I just 
wanted to hear it from you.  I believe you, Trudi.  I just want to hear 
exactly what happened."
     Tears of relief came to TrudiÕs face.  "I'll tell you everything I 
remember, but it's all just jumbled up images.  It's like waking up and 
trying to remember a weird dream you were having."
     As they drove through the increasingly heavy rain, Trudi related 
everything she could remember about the incident.  She was basically 
truthful, although she didn't tell him how much she had enjoyed the sex.  
When she finished, Gene looked over a her, but before he could speak a 
sheet of heavy rain splattered against the windshield and drummed on the 
roof, cutting the visibility down to almost zero.  Gene pulled off the 
highway onto a muddy dirt road and parked under a tree.  They sat there 
for a few minutes listening to the rain pounding on the car and watching 
the sheets of water running down the windows.
     "Just like being in the car wash," said Trudi.
     Gene had a thoughtful look on his face.  "So you and that guy 
Vince did all the things we didn't do yet," he said with a rueful smile.
     Trudi smiled back at him.  He seemed to be taking this much better 
than she had ever expected.  She slid over next to him on the seat and 
kissed his cheek.
     "But I hardly remember it, sweetie.  And you believe me when I say 
that I didn't do it on purpose, right?"
     Instead of answering, Gene kissed her softly on the lips.  Trudi 
closed her eyes and returned the kiss, making it last.  What started out 
as a kiss of forgiveness slowly turned more passionate.  Trudi opened 
her mouth and felt Genes tongue meet hers, and she slid her hand around 
the back of his neck to pull him even closer.  She felt his warm hand 
rubbing her back, and she twisted slightly, offering her breast.
     As he cupped her breast she leaned forward, pressing it firmly 
into his hand, and she felt her nipple harden and push against his palm 
through her bra and thin t-shirt.  Gene began rubbing his palm across 
her nipple, and she moaned and bit his lower lip gently.
     "That feels so good."
     Gene looked at her searchingly.  This was about as far as they had 
gone in the past, and many a mild argument had started at this point.  
Trudi made a sudden decision.  Taking her hand from behind Genes neck, 
she slowly trailed it down his chest and then let it settle in his lap.  
She immediately felt the bulge of his incipient erection, and she gave 
it a gentle squeeze.
     "Well, what have we here?"
     "Someone I've been dying to have you meet."
     Trudi giggled.  "Is that right?  Well maybe it's time I got 
acquainted with the little fellow."
     "Hey, watch who you call little."
     She unzipped his fly and carefully worked his cock out of his 
jeans.  It increased in size before her eyes, like one of those time-
lapse films of plants growing.
     "I think he likes you," said Gene.
     "Mmmm, I think it's mutual."  Trudi examined his cock closely.  It 
was about as long as Vince's, but not as thick.  She ran her finger 
gently up and down from the tip to the base, exploring its topography 
and texture.  "Looks yummy," she thought to herself.  Gene shuddered and 
stifled a gasp.
     "That tickles, Trude!"
     "Aww, poor baby." Trudi was having fun now - this time she was in 
control.  She gripped the shaft more firmly in her fist and began 
working it around in slow circles.  Gene groaned appreciatively.
     "That's more like it." 
     Trudi squirmed around on the seat without letting go, tucking one 
leg underneath her and ending up so that they were almost face to face.  
As she continued to play with his cock, Gene slid his hand under her 
shirt and squeezed her breasts through her bra.
     "It unhooks in front."
     Gene didnÕt need any further encouragement.  He opened the clasp 
with creditable dexterity considering the circumstances, and lifted the 
bra upwards, releasing her breasts.  As he kneaded and stroked them 
hungrily, Trudi noticed that his breathing had become noticeably 
heavier.  
     Trudi was rather proud of her breasts, and she was feeling sooo 
horny.  Impulsively, she pulled her t-shirt over her head and removed 
her bra.  Gene let out a long sigh of appreciation.
     "God, Trude, those are beautiful.  You're beautiful."  He smiled 
at her.  "You look like a mermaid."
     Trudi looked down at her green skirt and giggled.  She rotated her 
torso back and forth, causing her tits to swing back and forth in a 
gentle arc.
     "Glad you like them."
     Gene leaned his head forward and caught one of her breasts with 
his mouth.  He sucked gently, pulling in the nipple and then swirling 
around it with his tongue.
     Trudi caught her breath.  "Ohhhh, that feels good.... don't stop."  
     "I won't if you won't," came the muffled reply.
     Trudi suddenly realized that she had been neglecting her new 
friend, and she grabbed it again and gave it a healthy squeeze.  Gene 
responded by gently biting her nipple, which sent a jolt of pleasure 
shooting through her body.  She could feel her pussy opening up like a 
flower, and she knew her panties must be getting damp.  
     After a few minutes, Gene groaned and lifted his head.
     "Trude, I really think I'm gonna come...  is that OK?"  
     Trudi looked down at his cock.  The head had turned a darker red 
color, and it glistened with a sheen of moisture, which had also coated 
her hand.  
     She lifted her hand to her mouth licked her palm.  The taste was 
salty, and not at all unpleasant.  Suddenly, a vivid image of her 
kneeling in front of Vince with his cock filling her mouth flashed into 
her mind.  For a second, she could actually feel every detail, down to 
the sensation of her bare knees pressing on the cold linoleum floor, and 
then the image was gone.
     "Trude, baby, all it would take is a little more stroking..."  
Genes voice had a ragged note of desperation in it.  
     Trudi remembered what Amy had told her about men's needs, and she 
suddenly felt sorry for him.
     "I can do better than that," she whispered, looking into his eyes.  
     Before she could chicken out, she lowered her head down into his 
lap and closed her mouth around the head of his cock.  Gene groaned and 
bucked his hips upward, driving himself all the way to the back of her 
throat and making her gag.  Amy had warned her about that, too.
     "This is my first real blow job, Gene, so sit still."
     "Oh God...I'll try."
     Trudi returned to work, and after a few awkward moments she was 
able to synchronize the bobbing of her head with Gene's hip movements.  
She could hear animal groaning noises from Gene over the slick slurping 
sounds from her own mouth, and she realized for the first time what a 
privilege it was to be able to give someone so much pleasure.  "I could 
definitely learn to enjoy this," she thought to herself.
     "UUUUNNNNHHHHH...."  
     Suddenly she felt jets of thick fluid hitting the back off her 
throat,  and her mouth filled with a hot, salty taste.  She gagged as 
she reflexively swallowed some of it, but she managed to keep going 
until he was done.  For a few seconds they just sat there, breathing 
heavily and listening to the rain beating on the roof of the car.  
     "I'm sorry Trude - I should have warned you when I was going to 
come."
     Trudi giggled.  "Nah, that would have just made me nervous.  How 
was it - did I do OK?"  As if she didn't know.
     Gene kissed her.  "It was incredible."
     "Good.  You owe me one, then."  She managed to wriggle out of her 
panties without taking off her skirt, and then she climbed into his lap 
facing away from him and spread her legs to either side of his.  Taking 
one of his hands in her own, she put it on her thigh and slid it 
upwards.  
     "Make me come," she whispered, leaning her head back on his 
shoulder and closing her eyes.  
     A shudder ran through her body as Genes finger brushed tentatively 
against her pussy.  Slowly, he began to explore this foreign anatomical 
territory, first rubbing his hand gently up and down her whole pussy and 
then finally putting a fingertip into the wet, slippery  slot between 
her pussy lips.  Trudi had done this to herself countless times, but 
Gene's fingers were bigger and rougher, and somehow the experience was 
completely different.  One second it would start to feel good, and then 
the next second it would just tickle, and she would have to stifle a 
giggle.  Every time Gene's finger bumped accidentally against her clit, 
Trudi felt a spasm in her upper thighs which was a familiar precursor to 
an orgasm.  However, Gene was too gentle and tentative to bring her all 
the way to orgasm, and after a few minutes she was getting a little 
frustrated.
     "Rub right here," she said, guiding his middle finger to her clit.
     Gene felt the little nub under his fingertip and figured out what 
to do immediately.  Soon Trudi was grinding her ass into Gene's lap and 
groaning as Gene rubbed her little love button.  After all the foreplay, 
Trudi felt like a rubber band stretched to the limit.  She felt the 
little tickle deep in her groin that signaled an oncoming orgasm, and 
almost immediately the wave of pleasure ripped its way through her body, 
more intense than she had ever felt before.
     "OH GAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD....!"  Was that her shrieking?  Gene was so 
startled he almost stopped, and she pressed her hand down on his, making 
him keep up the stimulation.  Aftershocks ran through her body for 
several more seconds and then she collapsed limply back against her 
boyfriend.
     "That's the magic spot, sweetie."
     "Jeez, I guess so.  Are you OK, Trude?"
     "Mmmmmm, I'm great."  She just wanted to sit here in his lap and 
sleep for a few minutes.  A she started to drift off, she wondered idly 
whether her mother would be mad at her for being late.  Suddenly her 
eyes flew open.
     "Oh shit!  I totally forgot!  Two FBI agents are coming to our 
house to talk to me about what happened.  Can you take me home quick?"
     "For you, anything."
     She scrambled to put her clothes back on as Gene turned the car 
around and headed back towards town.
     
			***********************

     Mulder and Scully cruised slowly along a quiet residential street 
lined with small houses.  "I think it must be that one," said Scully, 
pointing to a small ranch.  Mulder squinted through the rain-soaked 
window and was able to verify the address.
     He pulled into the gravel driveway behind an old Honda Civic and 
killed the engine.  The house was in need of a fresh coat of paint, but 
the yard was in good condition and there were neatly-tended flower beds 
along the front and on either side of the drive.  
     Avoiding the large puddles in he driveway, they went up to the 
front porch and knocked on the door, and after a short wait a blonde 
woman in her late 30s answered.
     "Mrs. Bowman?  I'm Agent Fox Mulder of the FBI, and this is my 
partner, Dana Scully.  We spoke on the phone yesterday."
     "Yes, of course - I was expecting you.  Please come in."  
     She looked a bit embarrassed as she seated them on a well-worn 
couch in the living room.
     "I'm afraid Trudi isn't home yet... I don't know what's keeping 
her.  She should be here soon."
     Dana smiled at her reassuringly.  "That's all right, Mrs. Bowman.  
We're not in any rush."
     "Is that Trudi?" asked Mulder, indicating a large photograph over 
the mantle.  The picture was of a stunning young woman with long, brown 
hair and a friendly smile, and it took him a few seconds to recognize 
the girl from the videotape.
     "Yes, that's her school picture from last year, before she cut her 
hair and started dressing like a tramp," replied Mrs. Bowman with a 
smile that took the sting from her words.  "She's still a good girl, 
though.  An A student, even with an after-school job."
     "She's beautiful," said Dana truthfully.  "How is she handling 
this whole situation?"
     "Well, I think her main concern is with her boyfriend - she was 
worried about trying to explain things to him today at school.  When I 
was in high school this sort of thing could ruin a girl's reputation, 
but Trudi assures me that she's going to be seen as much 'cooler' now."
     "Kids today are certainly more sexually active than they were," 
agreed Mulder.  "But we were under the impression that maybe in a 
conservative town like Hallville there would be more of a backlash 
against her.
     "Well, the parents may be conservative, but the kids apparently 
aren't."
     Scully had the feeling they were missing something here.  "Why do 
you say that, Mrs. Bowman?"
     She looked a bit surprised.  "You haven't heard about the teenage 
pregnancy problem here?"
     "No, we haven't," replied Dana, feeling a twinge of excitement.  
"We just arrived in Hallville today."
     "Oh, I see.  Well, there was a newspaper article in the local 
paper a few weeks ago - the Hallville Courier - saying that the teenage 
pregnancy rate had gone through the roof in the last six months.  Nine 
girls from a high school with only 600 students."
     Mulder had an intent, tight-lipped expression.  "So this is common 
knowledge around town, then?"
     "Oh yes, there was big uproar, calls for teachers to be fired, 
even a town meeting Trudi and I went to.  What a fiasco that was.  
Someone made the suggestion that the police start patrolling the local 
make-out spots, and then a guy from the Hallville police department got 
up and gave a condescending speech about how kids would be kids, and 
that the only solution was to make sure that they had condoms.  I 
remember thinking that it could never happen to Trudi," she added with a 
rather wistful smile.
     Scully spoke for both of them.  "We talked to the Hallville police 
earlier today and they didn't say anything about this."
     Mrs. Bowman shook her head in confusion.  "I would think that this 
would be relevant to your investigation, certainly.  It occurred to me 
right away that if someone forced Trudi to do things against her will, 
that maybe the same thing happened to those other girls."
     "We'll have another chat with Chief Schroeder first thing 
tomorrow," said Mulder grimly.
     "Maybe you could tell me more about what you think might have 
happened to Trudi?" asked Mrs. Bowman.
     Scully glanced at Mulder and then back at Mrs. Bowman.  She got 
the impression of an intelligent, stable woman.  
     "We are part of a small task force within the FBI whose purpose is 
to investigate unexplained phenomena," she began.  "The incident 
involving your daughter matches a pattern of other reported incidents in 
our files.  The only reasonable explanation for these incidents is that 
a person or persons is using some sort of mind control to make people 
act in ways that they usually wouldn't."
     She then summarized the incident at the Baltimore restaurant.  
When she was finished, Mrs. Bowman looked doubtful.
     "So you think that there might be someone with...  unnatural 
powers attacking people in Hallville?  I know it explains what has been 
happening, but I thought that psychic abilities like that had been 
disproven by science."
     Mulder shook his head.  "The lack of scientific evidence doesn't 
disprove anything.  Our experiences over the last three years have shown 
us that there are plenty of things out there that science hasn't 
explained yet."  
     A loud bang caused them all to jump.  Mrs. Bowman laughed.
     "Trudi must be home.  That was her boyfriends car backfiring."
     A few seconds later Trudi came in, looking a bit disheveled but 
cheerful.
     "Trudi, these are Agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder."  
     Mulder sized up Trudi as he shook her hand.  She had a bit of the 
colt-like physical awkwardness that was common in teenagers, but she 
seemed remarkably mature as she greeted him and Scully and took a seat 
across from them.  And, of course, she was very attractive.  He had a 
hard time keeping his eyes from straying to the front of her damp t-
shirt where it clung to her firm young breasts.
     Scully summarized their previous conversation for Trudi as she 
made her own assessment of the girl.  She too was impressed by Trudi's 
self-composure, but what struck Scully was her beauty.  If someone was 
preying on teenage girls, it was no surprise that Trudi was a target.
     "If you feel up to it, we would like to go through the incident 
again in as much detail as you can remember," she said to Trudi.  "I 
know it will be difficult for you," she added apologetically.
     Trudi was still giddy from having sex with Gene, and she was 
worried that the FBI agents could somehow sense this.  She looked over 
at them nervously, trying to size them up.  She had been expecting 
expressionless men in blue suits and sunglasses who would interrogate 
her like she had done something wrong.  But these two seemed friendly 
and sympathetic, especially the woman.  And the man was actually very 
cute - was his name really Fox?
     "At first I hardly remembered anything at all," she began, trying 
to collect her thoughts.  "But over the past few days I've been getting 
these weird flashbacks, where I'll suddenly remember one little part of 
what happened really clearly.  But most of it is still just a blank."
     "That's a very common symtom of someone who is recovering a 
repressed memory," said Mulder.  He was becoming more and more certain 
that they were on the right track.  "If you continue to work at it, you 
may eventually be able to remember the whole incident." 
     "Do you remember how you felt when you were participating in the 
sexual acts?" asked Scully.  "Afraid, confused, guilty?"
     Trudi bit her lip nervously.  What would they think if she told 
them the truth?  Something in Agent Scully's eyes told her that she 
would understand.
     "No, not really," she said.  "I remember being very, uh, aroused, 
you know?  Like all of a sudden all I could think about was sex.  And 
then when the guy told me to do stuff with Vince, it was like I wanted 
to do it anyway and there seemed no reason not to."
     Mulder nodded.  "It sounds like he somehow was able to focus in on 
your libido and amplify your sexual urges."  He thought for a few 
seconds.  "I know this is very personal, but were you attracted to Vince 
Lansing - did you ever fantasize about having sex with him?"
     "Yes," said Trudi, looking nervously at her mother.  "But I wasn't 
going to do anything about it."
     Mrs. Bowman smiled at her daughter.  "Of course not.  Everyone is 
attracted to certain people - it's very natural."
     "That may explain how he picks his victims," said Mulder.  "He 
senses the underlying sexual attraction between people and then uses it 
to control them."
     "Wouldn't that mean that Vince would have had to feel the same way 
about me?" asked Trudi.
     Mulder had a hard time keeping a straight face.  "I think that's a 
likely possibility," he said matter-of-factly.
     Trudi was blushing - she knew how naive that had sounded as soon 
as it was out of her mouth.  
     Scully changed the subject.  "Have you been able to remember 
anything else about the other man in convenience store?"
     Trudi thought about it for a few seconds, her face scrunching up 
with concentration.  "I can't remember what he looked like.  But I do 
remember feeling that maybe he was someone I had seen before.  That's 
all I can really say."
     "Well, that's something," said Dana, smiling at her.  "Here are 
our cell phone numbers - if you remember anything else please call us 
right away."  She handed Trudi a card.
     "I will." 
     As they were leaving, Mulder stopped to talk to Trudi.  "One more 
thing to keep in mind:  If this guy were to try to control your mind 
again there is a good chance that you would be able to resist.  People 
can rarely be hypnotized against their will, and I suspect the same 
principle holds here."
     Trudi correctly guessed that this was mostly wishful thinking, but 
she appreciated the gesture.  "OK, that's good to know.  I'll keep 
trying to remember what happened."
     Outside, it was starting to get dark, and the rain had turned into 
an aggressive mist.  As they drove back to the motel, the agents 
discussed the case with a mixture of excitement and frustration.  It was 
clear that someone in Hallville was using mind control to prey on 
people.  What was much less clear was what they could do about it.  
     "How can you catch someone who gives their victims amnesia?" asked 
Scully.  "Apparently, most of the people don't even remember they were 
attacked, much less who attacked them."
     "I think Trudi is our best hope.  She seems to be slowly 
recovering her memory of the incident.  Possibly some of the other 
victims will as well.  If nine girls got pregnant, who knows how many 
more were attacked."
     "Right, and that brings us back to Hallville's finest.  Why do you 
think they neglected to tell us about the rash of pregnancies?"
     Fox shook his head.  "I have no idea.  Maybe they really didn't 
see the connection.  We'll see what Chief Schroeder has to say for 
himself first thing tomorrow."
     Fox parked the car in front of their adjoining rooms at the Best 
Western.  It was fully dark out now, and the floodlights illuminating 
the motel gave the thick mist in the air an eerie yellow glow.  Neither 
of them got out of the car for a few seconds, and Fox had a pleasant 
feeling of intimacy, sitting there in a dark car with his partner, so 
far away from their normal routine in Washington.  Dana's pale face 
seemed to glow in the darkness as she stared absently out of the window, 
and he felt a powerful urge to put his arm around her and kiss her 
serious mouth until it softened.
     She turned to him and smiled.  "I think I'll take a shower.  It 
always relaxes me."
     "Are you tense?"
     "This case is giving me the creeps, Fox.  I have a bad feeling 
about it."
     He pondered her use of his first name, which was a bit unusual.  
Trying to flesh out the hidden subtext of Dana's comments had become one 
of his favorite pastimes.  He decided to push it just a bit.
     "I know what you mean.  Why don't you come by after your shower 
and we can watch TV for a while or something.  I'll leave the connecting 
door unlocked."
     "All right."   Before he could say anything else, she opened the 
door, flooding the interior of the car with light, and disappeared into 
her room.
     "How am I supposed to interpret that?" he wondered to himself.  
     He went into his room and found a baseball game on the TV, and 
then made a quick run to the ice machine.  After pouring himself a 
whiskey on the rocks, he stretched out on the bed to think things over.  


			**********************

     Amy Archer pushed her bike under a hedge and walked quietly around 
the side of the Bowman house to the back.  The light in Trudi's room was 
still on, to her relief.  Trudi's room was on the opposite side of the 
house from her mother's, and Trudi and Amy often snuck in and out of the 
house through the bedroom window at night after Mrs. Bowman was in bed.  
     Trudi was lying on her bed in her pajamas thinking about her 
afternoon escapade with Gene when she heard the tapping at the window.  
She bounced off the bed, pulled open the curtains, and slid the window 
up quietly.  Amy climbed in nimbly over the sill and Trudi gave her a 
hug.
     "I'm glad you came over, Ames - I can't even think about sleeping 
right now."
     As she returned the hug, Amy could feel the swell of Trudi's 
breasts against her chest, and she felt a surge of conflicting emotions.
     "How did it go with Gene?  I saw he at least gave you a ride."
     Trudi giggled.  "Shhhhh, my Moms not asleep yet.  He gave me a 
ride all right!"  She turned on her portable stereo to a low volume and 
hopped back onto the bed.
     "Are you saying what I think you're saying, you slut?" asked Amy 
in a half-whisper, sitting on the bed next to Trudi.
     "I gave him a blow job - all the way until he came." said Trudi 
proudly.
     "Oh my God - start at the beginning and tell me everything."
     Amy and Trudi had been sharing every detail of their sex lives for 
a while now.  This usually meant either Amy telling Trudi about her own 
adventures or mutual commiserating about how horny they were, and Trudi 
was glad to finally have something to report other than masturbating.  
So she told Amy the whole story, not leaving out a single juicy detail.
     Amy laughed when Trudi told her about almost choking on Gene's 
come, and she found herself getting turned on by Trudi's description of 
Gene fingering her to orgasm.  Trudi was sitting Indian-style on the 
bed, and Amy realized with a guilty start that she could see right up 
her loose pajama shorts to the edge of her pussy.
     "...I swear Ames, I was so loud when I came that I thought Gene 
would be freaked out.  But he was just like, happy that he was able to 
get me off.  I don't know if he had ever done that before, but I didn't 
want to ask."
     "Yeah, guys are sensitive about being inexperienced.  So it was 
good, was it?"
     Trudi rolled her eyes upward.  "It was awesome."
     "Even better than phone sex with me?"  Once Amy had gotten Trudi 
to talk about masturbating, it had become a serious hobby for both of 
them.  One of their games was to start masturbating together over the 
phone to see who could finish first.  Amy was an expert at this, but she 
always held back to give Trudi a chance.  Or maybe it was to hear 
Trudi's heavy breathing and those little high-pitched moans she made 
when she came.
     Trudi squeezed Amy's knee playfully.  "Nobody could replace you, 
Ames. You taught me everything I know."
     "Yep.  And now you're getting it left and right and I'm the one 
who's horny and desperate."
     "Poor baby...what's it been, three days?"
     "Four.  And that was just a quickie with Steve."  
     "Is he the one who wants to do you up the ass?" 
     Amy laughed.  "Oh my God, he never stops talking about it!   I 
tried to put my finger up my ass the other day while I was in the shower 
to see what it was like, and it hurts like hell!  If that's what a 
finger feels like, there's no way I'm getting a cock jammed in there, 
even one as little as Steve's."
     Trudi was laughing helplessly at this point.  Amy was so sweet and 
so crude at the same time that she hardly knew what to think.  
     "I thought you would try anything, Ames."
     "Well, not that."  What I would really like to try is you, she 
thought to herself.  They talked for another hour, with Trudi filling in 
Amy on the original incident at the Road Pantry and the visit from the 
FBI.  Finally, Amy climbed back out the window after receiving another 
one of those stimulating hugs.
     What would she think if she knew I was getting turned on by 
hugging her, she thought sadly as she pulled her bike out from the hedge 
and brushed off the seat.  Down the street, a man sat in the cab of a 
blue pickup truck, watching her with interest.   Amy didn't notice as 
the truck pulled out to follow her as she began riding home.

			***********************
     
      Mulder heard the shower stop, and a few minutes later there was a 
knock at the connecting door and Scully came in.  She was wearing a t-
shirt and jeans and her hair was still damp.  Mulder was sitting on the 
bed with his back against the headboard watching TV.
     "Who's playing?" she asked him.
     "Braves and the Cubbies.  Two-all in the sixth.  You want a 
drink?"
     "Sure, thanks.  I'll get it."  Scully poured a little whiskey over 
a lot of ice and sat next to Mulder on the bed.  She was barefoot, and 
he was bemused to see that she had pink nail polish on her toes.  He 
found himself wondering if she was wearing a bra under her loose t-
shirt, and then tried to stifle the thought.  They talked baseball for a 
while with the easy familiarity of old friends, but inevitably the 
conversation returned to the case.
     "What do you think of Trudi Bowman?" asked Dana.
     Mulder pondered for a second.  "Attractive, well-mannered, mature 
for her age.  I had the feeling she was being very straightforward with 
us."
     Scully nodded.  "That was my general impression too."
     "I hope for her sake that this incident doesn't cause her too much 
trouble."
     "Well, I have a suspicion she was able to make it up to her 
boyfriend at least."
     Mulder looked puzzled.  "What do you mean?"
     "Didn't you think she looked a little...disheveled?"
     "You think...?"  He sounded a bit shocked.
     "Yes.  She definitely had that look.  Am I embarrassing you?"  She 
was looking at him with amusement.
     "Of course not, Scully.  I'm just a little surprised you picked up 
on that and I didn't."
     "Don't feel bad, Mulder.  It's a woman thing."
     "If you say so.  So maybe Trudi isn't the angel I thought she was 
- do you think it's possible she's lying after all?"
     "Not really.  You can't compare her having sex with her boyfriend 
to what happened in the convenience store."
     "I suppose not."  A mental image of Trudi Bowman getting it on in 
her boyfriend's car formed in his head, and he felt a stirring in his 
loins.  "It just makes me see her in a different light."
     "I bet it does, Mulder."  That came out sounding more harsh than 
she had intended.  "I'm sorry, that was uncalled for.  I guess I'm just 
jealous that a high school sophomore is having more fun than I am."  Did 
she actually say that?  Now she was really putting her foot in her 
mouth.
     "Why Scully, are you blushing?" teased Mulder.  He was rather 
pleased at the direction the conversation was taking.
     "I shouldn't have said that," she said, smiling ruefully.  "But 
yes, my personal life leaves something to be desired."
     Mulder put his hand on hers.  "Dana, you can tell me anything."  
She was looking down, not meeting his eyes, but she didn't take her hand 
away.  
     "I know that, Fox," she said finally.  "It's just that some topics 
are a bit awkward, especially in this situation."  She gestured at the 
bed.  "We're professional partners who happen to be of the opposite 
sex."
     "Working for an organization that frowns on any sort of romantic 
relationships between its employees," he agreed.  He was still holding 
her hand.  "But I think it's silly to keep pretending that we aren't 
attracted to each other."
     With no makeup and flushed cheeks, she looked younger than her age 
and touchingly vulnerable.  He put his other hand under her chin and 
tilted her head up gently, and then he leaned forward and kissed her.  
She didn't resist, and they held the kiss for several long seconds.
     Dana finally pulled back and took a deep breath.  "What are we 
doing?"  She wasn't angry or upset; it was an honest question.
     "Just what we have both been thinking about for a long time." 
     She opened her mouth as if to object, and then just nodded.  "I 
suppose you're right.  But that doesn't mean we should become involved." 
She squeezed his hand and then withdrew hers.  "It's getting late.  We 
better get some sleep."
     Mulder didn't feel much like sleeping, but he didn't want to push 
it.  
     "Sweet dreams," he said, opening the connecting door for her and 
then quietly shutting it behind her.

			***********************

     The man kept his distance as he followed the girl on the bike 
through the dark streets of Hallville.  There was almost no other 
traffic, and he didn't want her to become suspicious.  On the other 
hand, he was desperate to find out what she and Trudi had talked about.  
He had been watching the house all evening, parked a little ways down 
the street, and he had seen the FBI agents come and go.  He had a 
feeling that the situation in Hallville, which had been going so well 
until a few days ago, was slipping out of his control, and he 
desperately wanted to pump the girl for information.  But trying to 
control someone without a specific sexual attraction to focus in on was 
risky - especially a female.
     Letting the truck drift a little closer to the girl, he stared at 
her intently, trying to read her emotional state.  A satisfied smirk 
broke out on his face.
     "You little minx," he thought to himself.  "You have a thing for 
Trudi Bowman, don't you."  He had pulled up right behind her now.
     "Oh yes, you've got it bad," he whispered out loud.  "You're going 
tell me all about Trudi, aren't you."
     As they approached a particularly dark stretch of street, the man 
pulled up alongside the girl and reached out with his mind.
     Amy had been daydreaming about Trudi, trying to imagine her having 
sex with Gene and wondering whether this would change their own 
relationship.  Suddenly, she felt a surge of desire for her friend.  
Gliding to a stop, she stood straddling her bicycle in the darkness, 
transfixed by a vivid mental image of Trudi.  She imagined herself 
hugging her tightly, and then kissing her neck and her soft lips, 
sliding her tongue into her mouth.  
     "Thinking about Trudi Bowman?"  Amy hadn't even noticed the pickup 
truck that had stopped next to her.  She should have been startled out 
of her shoes, but she just turned her head and squinted through the 
darkness.  All she could see was a shadowy figure behind the wheel.  
Something very strange was going on - she felt like she was half asleep, 
or drugged.
     "Yes, thinking about Trudi."  Her voice was slow and even, and 
seemed to come from somewhere other than her own mouth.
     "She's beautiful isn't she.  Those full breasts, those long 
legs..."  The voice was offhand and reflective.  "I bet she'd be great 
in the sack."
     Amy nodded dumbly.  A feeling of lust was spreading through her 
body, and she had a sudden urge to masturbate.  She put her hand between 
her legs and massaged her crotch through her jeans.  
     "I bet you would like to sleep with Trudi, wouldn't you.  I bet 
you'd like to eat her pussy and make her come."  Amy moaned and rubbed 
harder.
     The man laughed quietly.  "You better get your jeans out of the 
way if you're going to do that right."  
     Amy wordlessly unzipped her jeans and pushed them and her panties 
down a few inches to the crossbar of the bike.  Now her fingers were 
able to dive into the slick wetness between her legs, pushing, pulling, 
and spreading her secret areas and sending waves of pleasure through her 
body.  She thought about Trudi sitting cross-legged on her bed with her 
loose pajamas revealing her long, creamy thighs and the edge of her 
pussy, and she imagined gently pushing Trudi back onto the bed, sliding 
the pajama bottoms off, spreading her legs apart...
     "That's enough for now.  I have a few questions for you.  Put both 
hands on the handlebars."  The mans voice was more insistent now, and 
she had to obey.  
     With a whimper, she reluctantly pulled her right hand out from 
between her legs and put it on the handlebar grip.  Her hand was 
slippery from her juices, and the grip felt cold and alien after the 
warmth of her pussy.  Her body was still aching for release.
     "What does Trudi remember about what happened at the Road Pantry 
the other night?"
     "Not very much, just that she, uh, had sex with the guy right 
there on the counter."
     "Why?  Does she remember why she had sex with him?"
     "No, not really.  Well, yeah.  There was this other man there who 
she thinks made her do it."
     "How?"
     Amy was squirming, trying to stimulate herself without taking her 
hands off the handlebars, but the crossbar of the bike between her legs 
was preventing it.
     "Um...hypnosis or something.  The FBI guy told her that, I think."  
Amy's voice was hoarse and throaty.  
     "Answer my questions and then you get to finish diddling yourself.  
Now, this is extremely important.  What does she remember about the 
other man in the store?"
     "Nothing... just that he was telling them what to do, and they 
couldn't help themselves."  A thought worked its way into her head.  "It 
was you, wasn't it?  You're the guy who did it."
     The man ignored this.  "Does she remember anything about what the 
man looked like?"
     "No, not really.  Except that she had a feeling that maybe she had 
seen him somewhere before."
     He had been afraid of that.  The man thought it over for a few 
seconds.  Amy's hands were restlessly squeezing and turning the 
handlebar grips, and she was making little whining sounds.
     "Why are the FBI agents so interested in what happened?"
     "They think that all those girls who got pregnant might have been 
hypnotized, too.  They were angry that the police didn't tell them about 
that.  I think they are going to talk to the police again tomorrow."
     Shit.  That was all he needed.  He thought he had the police well 
taken care of, but he didn't like the idea of the FBI going back and 
interrogating that pathetic excuse for a police chief Schroeder again.  
It looked like he was going to have to take matters into his own hands 
with the FBI.
     He turned his attention back to the girl.  "I'm leaving now, and 
you can play with your little pussy all you want.  You won't remember me 
or anything about my questioning you."  He gunned the engine and took 
off.
     With a gasp of relief, Amy put both of her hands back between her 
legs, and she soon had worked two fingers inside herself while she 
rubbed her clit with her other hand.  She came within a few seconds, a 
sharp wave of pleasure that seemed to come out of nowhere, and the force 
of it seemed to clear her head.
     She looked around, dazed.  "Trudi....?
     What the hell was she doing, masturbating in the middle of the 
street like this?  She wiped her fingers on her thigh and quickly pulled 
her jeans and panties back up.  Looking around, she saw she was alone on 
the dark street.  As she pedaled the rest of the way home she thought 
about Trudi, but she never remembered the man in the blue pickup.

			*********************

     Scully drifted out of a deep sleep before her alarm sounded, and 
underwent a few moments of disorientation as she looked around the 
unfamiliar motel room.  Then she remembered the events of the previous 
evening, specifically the out-of-the-blue kiss from Fox, with a jolt 
that brought her fully awake.
     She lay in bed thinking it over for a few minutes, watching the 
orange glow from behind the thick curtains become brighter with the 
sunrise.  It was clear that Fox wanted to start a relationship.  This 
was flattering, of course, although she supposed she wasn't surprised.  
But the risks associated with becoming involved with Fox were 
considerable.  If the Bureau found out, they would both be disciplined, 
and one of them, maybe both, would be transferred.  In fact, there was a 
good chance that the X-files investigations would be shut down 
completely, since they were a self-contained unit with only mixed 
support from the Bureau.
     And what about the up side?  She did have strong feelings for Fox 
- she dreamed about him almost every night, for God's sake.  Maybe they 
should just quit the FBI and do something else.  It wasn't unheard of 
for two FBI agents to fall in love and leave the Bureau together; 
"eloping", it was called.  But when she thought about it analytically, 
she and Fox together didn't seem quite right somehow.  Fox was a bit 
too...out there.  The 64-thousand dollar question, she thought to 
herself, was did she really want to get involved with someone who fully 
believed that his sister had been abducted by aliens?  The answer was a 
resounding maybe.  In any event, they were in the middle of a very 
sticky case and this was no time to be thinking about her love life.
     With a sigh, she got out of bed and started getting ready for a 
long day.  When Fox knocked on the connecting door she was dressed and 
eating a granola bar.
     "Morning, Scully."  He looked a uncertain, even a little nervous.
     "Morning, Mulder.  Ready to go?"  
     "Yes, I'm all set.  Listen, about last night...  I hope I wasn't 
too out of line."  He looked so earnest, she felt a little sorry for 
him.
     "No, you weren't.  And I'm sorry I ran out like that.  Listen, 
Mulder, let's not talk about this until we get back to Washington, OK?  
Maybe it's just something they put in the water out here."
     This brought a smile.  "I doubt it, but that sounds like a good 
idea anyway."
     Outside, it was shaping up to be a nice day - sunny and cool.  "I 
think we should drop in on Chief Schroeder first thing," said Mulder as 
they got in the car.  "See if we can catch him off guard."
     "I agree.  We might want to remind him that the Bureau doesn't 
take it kindly when local authorities hold back on their agents."
     "Right."  It was still before 9 am when they parked in front of 
the police station.  Mulder put on a pair of sunglasses before they got 
out.
     "Trying to look like a Bureau hardass, Mulder?"
     "Yeah, I wish I could do it without the shades like you can."
     Inside, the female dispatcher told them that Chief Schroeder was 
on his morning rounds and wouldn't be in for a while.
     "We'll wait," said Mulder grimly.  They hovered menacingly near 
the entrance, doing their best to make the dispatcher feel 
uncomfortable.  After a few minutes, they saw her get on the radio and 
say something about the FBI.
     Schroeder came in about five minutes later.  Judging from his 
expression,  the receptionist had mentioned that the agents didn't look 
too happy.
     "Nice to see you folks again," he said with forced cheer.  "If you 
had called to let me know you were coming, I wouldn't have kept you 
waiting."
     "If you have a few minutes, we would like to talk in your office," 
said Mulder politely.  Schroeder just nodded and led the way.  He had 
clearly taken stock of the situation, and he didn't waste any more time 
with small talk.  It occurred to Scully as they walked through the 
office area that Schroeder actually seemed like a pretty competent cop.  
     Once they were seated, Mulder got right to the point.  "We talked 
to Trudi Bowman and her mother yesterday.  They told us about the recent 
rash of teenage pregnancies in Hallville.  Apparently it's caused a lot 
of concern around town, even to the extent of a town meeting a few weeks 
ago."  He let that hang in the air.
     "That's right," said Schroeder.  "It has caused a lot of concern.  
It's not exactly a police matter, though."
     "From what Mrs. Bowman told us, a lot of parents disagree," said 
Scully.  "But our real concern is that neither you or your deputy 
mentioned this when we talked to you yesterday morning.  It seems to 
indicate a rather serious lack of cooperation."
     Schroeder looked appropriately uncomfortable.  "I guess that was 
an oversight on our part."
     "That may be," said Mulder.  "But I should inform you that our 
working hypothesis is that there is sexual predator currently active in 
Hallville, and that it appears that a police cover-up may be part of the 
problem."
     "Damn it."  Schroeder was shaking his head.  "This has gone on 
long enough."  He picked up the phone and dialed an internal extension.
     "Alan, can you come into my office?"
     They waited in silence until Deputy Alan Johnson came in and sat 
down.  He didn't look particularly surprised to see them.
     "Alan, Agents Mulder and Scully are accusing us of holding back on 
the teen pregnancy thing.  I think we need to come clean."  He seemed to 
be waiting for Johnson to make the next move.
     Johnson gave Schroeder a long look and then nodded.  "All right.  
Chief Schroeder and I have been investigating the teen pregnancy problem 
for months.  We suspected some kind of hypnosis was going on well before 
that incident at the road pantry."
     Mulder and Scully glanced at each other.  This certainly wasn't 
what they had expected.  
     "Why didn't you tell us this yesterday?" asked Mulder.
     "I want to apologize to you folks for that," said Schroeder, 
looking embarrassed.  "It was poor judgment on our part.  The fact is, 
we're close to an arrest and we didn't want the FBI stealing our 
thunder, as it were."
     The agents looked dumbfounded.  "You have a suspect?"  asked 
Scully.
     Johnson nodded.  "In fact, we're pretty sure we have our man.  The 
problem is proving it.  We can place the guy at the reservoir on the 
nights when some of the girls probably got pregnant.  But no one 
remembers actually being attacked.  We seriously doubt that anyone would 
press charges."
     "I see your point," said Mulder.  "Listen, we aren't trying to 
steal anyone's thunder.  In fact, we prefer to keep a low profile.  Our 
concern is catching this guy and finding out what makes him tick.  Tell 
you what  - we nail this guy together, and then you get credit for the 
arrest and we take over custody."
     Schroeder looked over at Johnson, who nodded.  Scully found 
herself wondering which one of them was running the show.
     "Sounds good," said Johnson.  "But like I said, we don't have any 
hard evidence."
     "I have an idea," said Mulder.  "I know quite a bit about hypnosis 
and repressed memories, and after talking to Trudi Bowman I'm convinced 
she will recognize the guy when she sees him.  In fact, I wouldn't be 
surprised if seeing him triggers her memory and causes her to remember 
the entire incident.  Do you know where the suspect lives?"
     Schroeder nodded.  "Yep."
     "Then let's arrest him based on your circumstantial evidence.  
That lets you hold him for 24 hours, and we can have Trudi try to ID 
him."
     "Wait a second," objected Scully.  "Won't that be dangerous?  We 
already know what this man is capable of."
     "I think Agent Mulder is right," said Johnson.  "We're better off 
making an armed arrest on our terms and getting him into custody.
     "And what if he tries to control our minds when we arrest him?" 
asked Scully.  "We just shoot him on the spot?"
     "Exactly," said Mulder.  "With a high-powered, rapid-acting 
tranquilizer dart specifically designed for humans."
     There was a moment of silence.
     "You, uh, got one of those?" asked Schroeder.  He appeared worried 
that Mulder was expecting him to have one in his desk.  "We operate on a 
limited budget here."
     "In the trunk of our car," said Mulder.  "Right next to the silver 
cross we use for vampires."
     "In that case, lets go," said Johnson with a grim smile.
     Scully still thought they were being too rash, but she couldn't 
think of a valid excuse to hold back.  Mulder had that wild look in his 
eye that he always got when he thought they were getting close to 
something big, and she doubted that she would be able to talk him out of 
it anyway.  
     "Why don't I take Agents Mulder and Scully to the suspect's house 
right now." said Johnson.  "Our surveillance shows that this is a good 
time of day to catch him at home."       
     "All right," said Schroeder.  "Be careful," he added, looking at 
Scully.
     After getting the dart gun from the trunk, the agents got into a 
police cruiser with Johnson.  Mulder sat in the back and started setting 
up the gun, which looked like an oversized pistol.  They drove away from 
the main highway through the outskirts of the town, ending up in a 
wooded area with widely-spaced houses.  Johnson turned into a narrow 
gravel road marked with a single mailbox and pulled over to the side.
     "Guy lives a few hundred yards down this way," he said.  "No point 
in letting him hear us drive up."
     They walked quietly along the side of the narrow track until they 
came in sight of a surprisingly modern A-frame house.  
     "I was expecting something more rustic at this point, " murmured 
Scully.
     "It's a nice place, " agreed Johnson.  "Looks like he's home," he 
added, pointing to a blue pickup truck.  "So how do you want to do 
this?"
     Mulder thought it over for a few seconds.  He was tempted to just 
kick in the door and rush in, but that was asking for trouble.  "Lets 
knock and say we have a few questions about a traffic accident.  Soon as 
he opens the door we take him.  I'll warn him right away that if he 
tries any hypnosis stuff I'll tranq him."
     "Sounds good," said Johnson.  He looked at the dart gun.  "Better 
hide that contraption for now."
     Mulder managed to hide the gun under his coat, and they walked 
cautiously up to the door.  Johnson reached out and knocked firmly.  No 
response.  Scully peered into one of the large windows that flanked the 
front door, shading her eyes against the reflection.
     "I don't see any lights or activity."
     They knocked several more times without any response, and then 
Johnson pulled out a ring of keys.  "Lets check it out," he said, 
selecting a key.  He unlocked the door and pushed it open, revealing a 
tiled entry leading into a large, sparsely furnished living room with a 
high, beamed ceiling.  
     "After you."  Johnson stood to one side and let the agents go in 
first. Mulder led the way, taking a few steps into the entry and then 
listening for any activity.  Nothing.  Scully followed behind 
cautiously, her gun in her hand.
     "How did you get a key to the front door?" she asked.  
     Behind her, Johnson chuckled.  "Well, it's my house."
     This took a few seconds to register.  "Your house?" she repeated.
     "That's right.  Now both of you, put your guns on the floor."  
They didn't need to turn around to know that he was pointing a gun at 
them, it was clear from his tone of voice.  
     "God damn it," swore Mulder.  He felt like an idiot.  It all 
seemed so obvious now.  He glanced over his shoulder at Johnson, 
weighing the risks.  Scully was already bending over, setting down her 
gun, and he had a clear shot.  But before he could move a blast of white 
noise filled his head, like static from an untuned radio, and he 
staggered and almost fell.  
     "Put it down, Mulder."  The voice seemed to bypass his mind and go 
straight to his body.  He slowly leaned over and dropped the tranq gun 
onto the floor, almost losing his balance again.  The world had receded 
away from him, and he was having difficulty concentrating.  What the 
hell was going on?  They were in serious trouble, but suddenly all he 
could think about was having sex with Dana.
