Hey do you think you'll write more? I've been positively hooked and I would love to see more of this type of story in the same format. It was a wild and intense but awesome ride.
We are definitely considering it :) Thank you for the vote of confidence and the support <3
Patty: Hey guys! We both wanted to take the opportunity to give you all a huge thank you.
Laura: Seriously! This has been such an amazing experience and we have been absolutely floored with the fantastic response we’ve received.
Patty: Yes, all of you and your positivity that you sent our way...that was definitely the fuel that encouraged us and kept us going.
Laura: Absolutely. We were a little nervous going into this that this whole idea might not translate well, or that the fandom might not be receptive to the craziness we had planned, but we have been blown away. Not only by just how fun this has been to collaborate on such a unique form of story-telling but also by how supportive you all have been.
Patty: Someone’s chatty tonight.
Laura: Shut up I AM VERY THANKFUL….ass….
Patty: ANYWAYS. Yes, we were super nervous, but we were both so excited to do something that was a little outside of the box. So, your support (messages, tags, anons, etc.) really meant the world to us. Thank you all for trusting us and going along for this ride.
Laura: Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. For you MVPs who reblogged our stuff and put your incredible reactions in the tags, you can be sure we absolutely read every. Single. One. And Patty, I just want to tell you that this has been an unreal experience writing with you and working on this with you every day over the past month. Thanks for playing with me.
Patty: Mhm, we were (still are) sluts for all of the great tags and gifs that were added. And dude, Laura, this was so much fun that it should have been considered illegal. Collaborating with you on this was just a blast. Thank you for dealing with my occasional spiral and Dory moments, and for being a badass writing partner.
Laura: Always, boo thang. I enjoyed spiraling with you as well and thanks for putting up with my Dory moments too. I think we had our equal share. There was just so much going on!
Patty: LOL you guys wouldn’t believe the planning that went into this! Crazy that a simple idea turned into such a huge thing for us, such a huge project. But, shit, was it fun! Anywhoo, we love you guys.
Laura: We do indeed. Thanks for joining us on this journey.
Patty: Until next time! (Will there be a next time, Laura?)
Laura: dundunDUN! I mean, I’m game if you are!
Patty: Obvi! Should we stop talking now?
Laura: Hmmm, I don’t know. How long do you think we can keep them reading?
Patty: LOL we know I don’t do wordy. Peace out, girlscouts!
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
CASE NO: 13-8265014-99
DATE: 27 JULY 1999
TIME: 6:02 PM
TAKEN BY: AGENT WILKINS
METHOD: TRANSCRIPTION - RECORDED INTERVIEW
Agent Wilkins: The time is now 6:02 PM on July 27, 1999. I’m here with Special Agent Dana Scully. Agent Scully, first off let me say, I know I can speak for the entire Bureau when I say how terribly sorry we all are that you have had to endure this.
Agent Scully: Thank you.
Wilkins: Why don’t we start at the very beginning? Tell me about the evening of July 15th.
Scully: Well actually, that’s not the beginning. I had been receiving letters as early as late June.
Wilkins: Ahh, yes, forgive me. We did find those letters in your apartment. Did you know where the letters had come from?
Scully: No. At first I thought the original letter I had received might have been delivered to me on accident, or it had come from Mulder, maybe as a joke. But Agent Mulder assured me that he did not send it. I knew I had not received it on accident when I was delivered a second letter.
Wilkins: Did you at any point think these letters could be a precursor to any danger?
Wilkins: Agent Scully?
Scully: Yes. The letters, there were three in total, increased in intensity and yes, I felt a certain level of uneasiness.
Wilkins: And did you tell anybody about these letters?
Scully: I told Agent Mulder about the first two. We laughed them off at first. Mulder even jokingly threw the first in the fireplace. But I never told him how scared I was. I had planned on telling him the night of the 15th just how worried I was. I figured, if I ran it by Mulder and he ended up being concerned too, then I wasn’t just being paranoid.
Wilkins: Huh, I guess Agent Mulder would make a good barometer for paranoia.
Scully: Yeah.
Wilkins: I take it you never told him?
Wilkins: Agent Scully, we’ll need you to respond verbally for the recording.
Scully: No, I never told him. We were having such a good evening, I decided to wait until morning. However…
Wilkins: Yeah. So go ahead and tell me about the evening of July 15th. What time did Agent Mulder arrive at your apartment?
Scully: Um, I think it was around 6:45pm. We had dinner and we um, well, he decided to stay, we uh…
Wilkins: Agent Scully, it’s ok. Um, due to the nature of the evidence that we have found, The Bureau is aware of your personal relationship with Agent Mulder.
Scully: [sighs] ok. Agent Mulder and I went to bed around 11:30. Maybe 11:45. I’m not sure how much time had passed, but I woke up to find Mulder unconscious next to me and there uh, there was man bent over him. I reached over to my nightstand for my gun, but it was on the dresser. He lunged over Mulder to try to grab me. I um, it all happened so fast, I think I managed to land a punch or two. I remember when he tackled me, he knocked over my lamp and then…
Wilkins: Yes?
Scully: There’s nothing. I don’t know how he knocked me out, but I woke up on the floor. He had used my own handcuffs to bind my wrists and my ankles were tied together with rope. I woke up next to Mulder and he was in the same state. We were both naked, but had blankets wrapped around us.
Wilkins: Had you ever seen Kevin Spalding before your attack?
Scully: I- I’m not a hundred percent positive but he looked so familiar. I think I had seen him before, maybe in passing. Maybe around my building.
Wilkins: Where was Spalding when you woke up?
Scully: Um, he wasn’t in the room with us at first. I rolled over to Agent Mulder in an attempt to try to use my hands to untie his ankles, but he came back.
Wilkins: What did he do when he came back?
Scully: When he came back he had a bag with him. He threw it in front of Mulder. There was also a bag laying beside me. He picked that bag up and placed it in front of me. He pointed a gun at me, then unlocked my cuffs and untied my feet and told me to get dressed. Inside the bag I found clothing that belonged to me. I started to grab the items and then he stopped me.
Wilkins: Why did he stop you?
Scully: He um, wanted to me to wear a specific outfit. They were pajamas. He told me which exact top and bottom to wear, even which pair of um, of underwear to put on. He kept the gun pointed at me while I put the clothes on.
Wilkins: What happened after you were dressed?
Scully: He restrained me again before untying Mulder. He told him to also get dressed. Mulder stated that none of the clothes in the bag belonged to him. There was an argument. He hit Mulder and cocked the gun. I told Mulder to just do it, just do what he says.
Wilkins: Do you have any idea where the clothes came from?
Scully: I think they belonged to Mr. Spalding. They didn’t fit Mulder, but they seemed to match his build.
Wilkins: What happened after you were dressed?
Scully: He went to the kitchen and that’s when I noticed where we were. Or, rather, where we were supposed to be.
Wilkins: What do you mean?
Scully: I knew from the cement flooring and the pipes that we were in a basement. But it had been made up to look…
Wilkins: Agent Scully?
Scully: I’m sorry.
Wilkins: That’s ok, take your time.
Scully: Um, the basement had been made up to look like my apartment. Um, he had the exact same style furniture I have. The same couch, the same desk. All set up in the exact same layout as my apartment. He had actual items he had clearly taken from my residence. My photos, my artwork, a lamp. Everywhere I could look in that room I found my own personal belongings. Things that couldn’t be stolen or bought he had replicated. God, he had even painted or constructed props. Where my computer would normally sit, he had a cardboard box that had been drawn on and painted to look like a computer. He had even crudely painted my bay window on the wall. It was all like a bad theatre production set.
Wilkins: Do you have insight as to why? Did he give any indication to his reasoning for all this?
Scully: Throughout our time held captive he kept referring to us as his dolls, as his puppets. He kept calling Mulder “Peter”, but he called me by my name.
Wilkins: Who is Peter?
Scully: I have no idea. Mulder kept trying to pry at him, see if he could get anything out of him or find a weakness, but every time Mulder pushed, Spalding would, um, he would punish him.
Wilkins: Punish him how?
Scully: By hurting him. He had this knife. Small, but sharp. And if Mulder argued too much or looked like he might try to fight, he would slash Mulder. Or sometimes cut him. Sometimes he would put the knife at my throat to threaten me, forcing Mulder to submit.
Wilkins: After you woke up and he forced you to dress, what did he do next?
Scully: He forced us into a small makeshift bedroom. It was made to look like mine, but there had clearly not been as much care in making it look identical. The “bedroom” only had a full size bed and a chair placed at the foot of the bed. He um, told us to get on the bed in a spooning position and then he sat in the chair facing us. He demanded we sleep. If we even slightly moved out of position he would get angry and cock the gun, sometimes shove it in our faces, threaten us with handcuffs again. That’s how every night went. He forced us into whatever position he wanted us and demanded that we sleep. While he watched. He was always watching.
Wilkins: What happened after that first night?
Scully: It was so strange, he wanted us to act like every day was a normal day. He would tell us what clothes to put on and then he would direct us to do seemingly meaningless activities. Making coffee, pretending to cook a meal together. Watching TV.
Wilkins: There was a TV down there?
Scully: It was a cardboard box created to resemble my tv.
Wilkins: So he just made you...live life?
Scully: Basically. It was so strange. He just wanted us to act out normal, bland, everyday things. But he demanded that I call Mulder “Peter”. If I slipped and said Mulder’s name he would slap me, which would then get Mulder angry which would then lead to Mulder getting cut so I just quickly learned to go along with it.
Wilkins: What happened next?
Scully: There was no next. It was the same thing every day, every night. I thought for sure he was going to force us to do something...worse. But he never did. He had us act out the same scenarios over and over and over again. The only thing that changed were his directions. They grew in detail as the first few days passed. By the fourth day he was telling us exactly where we should put our hands, our feet, our heads.
Wilkins: Did you and Agent Mulder make any attempts at escaping?
Scully. We tried. Spalding was always there. Always watching. He only left us three times. We would spend that time, searching the basement, looking for any way out. But every time he left, he would handcuff us and tie our ankles, which made finding an escape route difficult. He caught us the first time.
Wilkins: Tell me about that.
Scully: He had handcuffed us and tied our ankles and said he would be right back and left. We tried to maneuver ourselves to be able to untie each other’s ankles, but it was taking too long and we didn’t know how much time we would have. So we managed to help each other stand up and we basically hopped around the edges of the room, looking for anything that would help us either get out, or be able to fight him, but he came right back and saw us. His punishment was to grab us and drag us over to a chest freezer that was against the far wall. He pointed the gun at my head and demanded Mulder to open the freezer. Inside... Um, inside was the body of my apartment’s superintendent, Michael Carlson. He forced my head down into the freezer and starting yelling at Mulder, that this would be me if he saw us disobeying him again.
Wilkins: Tell me about this morning.
Scully: This morning was strange, well, stranger than usual. God, I can’t believe I’m talking about there even being a “usual.” Um, this morning, it was almost like he didn’t seem to care anymore about how exact we were with acting his scenarios out. The past couple of days, I almost felt like he wasn’t really even watching us anymore. He was having us pretend to make coffee when he stopped us. There was clearly something off about him. He seemed scatterbrained and like he didn’t really know what to do next. He took out the gun and told Mulder to sit in a chair and put the handcuffs on. Once Mulder was handcuffed, he started to tie Mulder’s ankles to the legs of the chair. Mulder was able to land a solid kick to his chest, knocking him back. He got up pretty quickly though and pistol whipped Mulder on the head, knocking him out. I took that opportunity to jump on Spalding’s back, in an attempt to bring him down. We fought for awhile, he landed a punch against my face and was able to subdue me by kicking me in the ribs, knocking the wind out of me. He was on top of me when AD Skinner and the other agents showed up, not a moment too soon.
Wilkins: Well you put up quite the fight, Agent Scully. Spalding has two broken ribs and several deep gashes on his face where you attempted to gouge his eyes. You did good, Agent. You both did. We’re sorry we couldn’t get to you sooner. I know the Bureau is proud of you and we are glad to have you both back.
Scully: Yeah.
Wilkins: Thank you for coming in this evening, Agent. I know you have been through quite a lot and I appreciate you taking the time to come in as soon as you could.
VICTIM STATEMENT
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
CASE NO: 13-8265014-99
DATE: 27 JULY 1999
TIME: 6:28 PM
TAKEN BY: SAC JOHANNESEN
METHOD: TRANSCRIPTION - RECORDED INTERVIEW
Agent Mulder: Where’s Agent Scully? Is she alright?
Agent Johannesen: She appears to be as fine as she can be, given the situation. She’s with Agent Wilkins right now finishing her statement. Don’t worry, this won’t take too long.
Agent Mulder: Ok.
Agent Johannesen: I heard Agent Scully state that it began with her receiving three letters, specifically unaddressed and placed in her mailbox.
Agent Mulder: Correct.
Johannesen: [places 3 items on the table] Have you seen these letters?
Mulder: Just the first two. I guess the last one arrived a day before our abduction, but I wasn’t made aware of it until much later.
Johannesen: Agent Mulder, had you ever interacted with Kevin Spalding before he abducted you and Agent Scully?
Mulder: Not that I can remember.
Johannesen: Can you tell me what you remember from the night of your abduction?
Mulder: Agent Scully and I had dinner at her place, and a few glasses of wine. After that we, um, well we…[clears throat]
Johannesen: Shortly after that you showered and then went to bed?
Mulder: Yes. And that’s the last thing that I remember before waking up on the floor in an unfamiliar room, my wrists handcuffed and ankles bound with rope.
Johannesen: Were you alone?
Mulder: I thought I was at first, until I heard Agent Scully moan from behind me. When I rolled to find her, I saw that she was also handcuffed with bound ankles, laying on her side. We were both naked, covered with blankets.
Johannesen: Were you physically harmed at that time?
Mulder: Just a few bumps and bruises. I assume it’s from his carrying my unconscious body to the basement. Agent Scully, she uh, she had a bruise on her cheek and it looked like it was starting to swell.
Johannesen: We have it on record that Mr. Spalding struck her face with his fist during the abduction. She put up quite the fight.
Mulder: I’d expect nothing less. She’s a fighter.
Johannesen: She is.
[rustling of paper can be heard]
Johannesen: Agent Mulder, what can you tell me about your abductor, Kevin Spalding?
Mulder: He was using us to carry out some sort of fantasy of his. Agent Scully was to play the role of herself, while I was to play the role of Peter. It was clear early on, with the basement arranged to resemble her apartment, that the fantasy centered around Agent Scully. He had to have been planning this for at least a week or two for the amount of precision in the set-up, to collect the items that he did.
Johannesen: We have it reported that multiple items of Agent Scully’s were found in that room, stolen from her apartment.
Mulder: Correct. How long until she will be able to get those back?
Johannesen: They’re evidence Agent Mulder.
Mulder: Right. [clears his throat] Anyways, Kevin was clearly fixated on Agent Scully. He appeared to not want to harm her physically, signifying that he idolized her, that he was obsessed with her. He frequently used her well-being as a manipulative tactic to enforce my submission. He would point the gun at her head, screaming threats of shooting her in the face, knowing I would comply to keep safe. He admitted to hiding cameras in her apartment and watching us, so he was aware that we were involved.
Johannesen: Yes, cameras were found throughout her apartment. We have the footage if you would like to-
Mulder: No. I don’t want to see it.
Johannesen: That had to be a difficult situation to be put in. Choosing between fighting or doing what he wanted to keep her safe.
Mulder: There wasn’t a choice to be made. Her life and safety were the only choice. If wearing clothing that was two to three sizes too small, answering to the name Peter, and running through the motions of mundane everyday tasks were going to keep her safe, then pass me the small pants and sweater vest.
Johannesen: I assume you two attempted to escape.
Mulder: We did. Once I realized that his mental condition was continuing to deteriorate, and the opportunity presented itself, we made the attempt. We failed, obviously.
Johannesen: His mental condition deteriorate?
Mulder: Kevin had appeared strong willed and self-assured for the first few days. He had confidence in his demands, in our ability to supply him with the means to living out his fantasy. As the days passed, his confident demeanor began to waver, and he began to act more irrationally. He began threatening more, his demands became less detailed, and his frustrations were communicated more through assault. His engagement began to lessen, his interest waning. It was evident that he was quickly realizing that my taking on the role of Peter wasn’t enough to fulfill his desires.
Johannesen: Do you have any idea who this Peter character might be?
Mulder: I assume it’s a version of him. Peter is who Kevin wants to be, but is unable to for whatever reason.
Johannesen: Agent Mulder, did Kevin perform sexual acts upon himself while watching you and Agent Scully perform his demands?
Mulder: No. He just watched us intently. He was there from the moment we woke up, sitting at the edge of the bed, to when we were forced to go to sleep, instructing us on most of our physical movements. He went as far as to tell us what to say, how to talk to each other, having us repeat specific sentences or terms of endearment. We were, as he said, his dolls. His puppets. We were important enough to go through all of this trouble, yet expendable enough to murder if the plan failed.
Johannesen: You think he was planning to kill you both?
Mulder: Without a doubt. He had already experienced the thrill of taking another human’s life when he murdered Michael Carlson. Taking our lives would have been the ultimate control, the ultimate ending to his production. I believe in his mind, even though he was able to live his fantasy vicariously through Agent Scully and myself, it wasn’t enough. We would have been dead within hours, had The Bureau not come to our aide.
Johannesen: That’s enough for now. Thank you for speaking with me, Agent Mulder, and I hope that you and Agent Scully…

METHOD: RECORDING BY SPECIAL AGENT DANIEL M BRUCE AND SPECIAL AGENT MALCOLM CAUSEY
[AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION BEGINS AT 8:03 AM]
Agent Causey: --recording?
Agent Bruce: Yep. Better safe than sorry.
Agent Causey: Agreed. So what’s the deal with this guy? He’s the super but not the super?
Agent Bruce: Guy claims he’s the super, but Wilkins gets a call from a resident who doesn’t know who the fuck Kevin Spalding is. Figure, if this guy’s really the new superintendent, wouldn’t the residents know who he is? Something doesn’t add up. We looked into his hiring paperwork and there is no hiring paperwork. Can’t get a hold of anybody in management. We tried callin’, but there was no answer.
Agent Causey: Well, if he’s not the super, but he’s saying he is, where’s the real superintendent?
Agent Bruce: Exactly. What the fuck apartment did I say again?
Agent Causey: Uh, number 2. I think it’s up on the right.
[Transcription note: please note, at this point in recording, knocking can be heard.]
Agent Bruce: Mr. Spalding?
[More knocking is heard.]
Agent Bruce: Mr. Spalding this is Agent Bruce and Agent Causey from the FBI. We’d like to ask you a few more questions.
[More knocking is heard.]
Agent Bruce: Ok. Now what?
[A muffled scream is picked up by recording equipment.]
Agent Causey: Shit, you hear that?
Agent Bruce: Sounds like probable cause to me.
[Sound of door being kicked in.]
Agent Bruce: FBI!
Agent Causey: Mr. Spalding! Show yourself! Take the rooms in the back, I’ll take the kitchen and living room.
Agent Bruce: Fuck!
Agent Causey: Bruce? You ok?
Agent Bruce: Yeah, yeah, it’s just the fucking TV, there’s no one here. Fuck, this place is a goddamn mess. Look, let’s just call it in and tell ‘em the guy’s not here.
Agent Causey: Well, if he really is the new superintendent maybe he’s working in another apartment on another floor? How about you take 1 and 3 and I’ll take 2 and 4?
Agent Bruce: Yeah, that works for me. Make sure you get--
Agent Causey: Whoa.
Agent Bruce: What?
Agent Causey: What the fuck?
Agent Bruce: Causey, what is it?
Agent Causey: I think you need to see this.
Agent Bruce: Well what the fuck is it?
Agent Causey: Get over here and look. It’s like a letter or something.
Agent Bruce: Shit. A poem?
Agent Causey: Yeah. Bruce, you gotta come read this.
Agent Bruce: Give it here.
[A sound of rustling paper is recorded.]
Agent Bruce: Oh shit.
[Radio static is picked up on recording.]
Agent Bruce: This is Special Agent Bruce. I’m with Special Agent Causey at 3170 West 53rd. We need immediate backup! Repeat, we need immediate backup!
WITNESS STATEMENT
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
CASE NO.: 13-8265014-99
DATE: 26 JULY 1999
TIME: 6:07PM
TAKEN BY: AGENT WILKINS
METHOD: TRANSCRIPTION - RECORDED INTERVIEW
[AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION BEGINS AT 6:07PM]
Agent Wilkins: Could you please begin with spelling your name?
Diane: D-I-A-N-E E-L-I-Z-A-B-E-T-H K-A-U-F-M-A-N
Agent Wilkins: Thank you. Now, Ms. Kaufman, you called in and left a message for me stating that you had information for us regarding a missing person’s case.
Diane: Yes, sir, I did. Miss Scully lives in my building, she’s my neighbor.
Agent Wilkins: I have here in my file that we were unable to reach you when making our initial rounds for witnesses.
Diane: I was out of town visiting my daughter in Florida. I just arrived home last night, and got caught up with the 6’oclock news. [sniffles] Poor dear. She was such a sweet woman.
Agent Wilkins: Would you like a tissue?
Diane: Oh, no, thank you. [sniffles] I’ll be alright.
Agent Wilkins: I don’t mean to pressure you, ma’am, but you said that you had information.
Diane: Right, of course. Well, um, I suppose it started a few months ago. Miss Scully had a man hanging around her apartment.
Agent Wilkins: I see. Did you recognize this man?
Diane: I’d seen him a time or two. But he started coming around more recently, stalking like one of those predators you see on Forensic Files, you know the ones. They follow their victims for months on end before finally kidnapping them, doing unspeakable things to the poor women before killing them and leaving their bodies on the side of the road.
Agent Wilkins: Miss Kaufman, could you tell me more about this man?
Diane: For one thing, I’m quite positive that he copied her key to let himself in when she wasn’t home.
Agent Wilkins: I’m sorry, copied her key?
Diane: Yes, the key to her apartment.
Agent Wilkins: I’m aware of what you meant. Ma’am, would you be able to describe what this man looks like?
Diane: Let’s see. He’s tall, not too tall but definitely not short. I’d say he’s at least six feet, with dark hair. I wouldn’t say he’s italian kind of dark and handsome, his hair is more brown than it is black. His nose is too large for him to be italian. Jewish maybe?
Agent Wilkins: [pulls photo from folder, places on table] Could this be the man you’re referring to?
Diane: Yes, yes, I believe that’s him!
Agent Wilkins: Please let the record state that Ms. Kaufman is positively identifying Special Agent Fox Mulder as the perpetrator.
Diane: [gasps] Oh my heavens! Another agent is behind her kidnapping?
Agent Wilkins: Ma’am, Special Agent Mulder is also listed as a missing persons in this case-
Diane: But he had her key duplicated!
Agent Wilkins: We will check with Mr. Spalding, but I feel that I am safe in assuming that Agent Scully provided Agent Mulder the key of her own volition.
Diane: Agent Wilkins, is it? You weren’t there, you didn’t see the way he looked- wait, I’m sorry. Mr. Spalding?
Agent Wilkins: Yes, ma’am.
Diane: Who’s that? And why would you check with him?
Agent Wilkins: Because he’s the superintendent of your building. He would have the information documented of Agent Scully requesting another key.
Diane: No, our super is Handy Man Mike. Michael Carlson.
Agent Wilkins: Ms. Kaufman, are you saying Kevin Spalding isn’t the new superintendent?
Diane: That’s exactly what I’m saying! I just talked to Mike a few weeks ago, he fixed my kitchen sink. He never said anything about leaving, or getting a new job or anything.
Agent Wilkins: And what about Kevin Spalding?
Diane: I’ve never heard that name before, never in my life.
Agent Wilkins: Ms. Kaufman, could we continue this at another time- [phone rings] Wilkins. Yeah, check him out. I don’t care that we interviewed him already- wait a second. Ms. Kaufman?
Diane: Yes?
Agent Wilkins: Thank you for your time. Agent Rosen is right outside the door, and she’ll see you to the exit.
Please tell me you saw the latest issue of it and read the latest update regarding The Trenchcoat Duo from the basement. I’m freaking out right now!

I bought 3 copies! I knew it, I fricken knew it! I have been calling that for years, so I’m not really surprised. With the way he looms over her, and the way she’s always this*close to him, even when walking in the hallways. Like, I think the only person who will be surprised by this is the superiors. I wonder if they’ll end up reassigned after this. That article was NASTY.
Remember Janet from Anti Terrorism? Well she said she hooked up with him a few years back, and that his doom and gloom was a real treat between the sheets. From the sound of it from that article, Agent Scully is really reaping all those benefits.

I bought 2, ha! Jordan, the bureau hasn’t seen this kind of scandal since...well I’m not sure since when. I mean, has there ever been a sex scandal that involved the bureau? Regardless, I’m sure they will try and reassign them if they’re found, but Mr. and Mrs. Spooky (omg so much funnier now that it’s confirmed that they ARE sleeping together) have a reputation of not working well with others, ya know? I bet they both quit. It’s sad, really. If the bureau had a prom, I would have voted them prom King and Queen.
Janet claims to have been with everything that walks, so I wouldn’t put too much stock into her claims. What I will agree with, however, is that Agent Scully is reaping ALL of the benefits. Lucky B.

I am absolutely disgusted to discover that your task force leak has clearly not been contained. Not only does the press now have names, but they have a detailed description of evidence that should have never left Bureau hands.
Based on the fact that a tabloid newspaper is in possession of what should be confidential information, not to mention the actual content of what is on these videotapes, it is perfectly clear to me you have absolutely no control over the agents who are working under your supervision.
I have requested that you immediately find this leak and shut it down and you have failed to do so, possibly to the detriment of your agents and to the detriment of the Bureau. Instead of being able to devote every second to finding Agents Mulder and Scully, I now have agents wasting time by having to field questions left and right from the press regarding a sex scandal. This is on your head, Assistant Director and I do not want to hear from you again until this is fixed.
You have until 5pm, to deliver to me the name of the agent responsible for leaking this information or you can expect a formal reprimand in your file as well as an immediate emergency meeting with OPR to discuss reevaluating your position as Assistant Director.
Don’t test my hand, Walter.
Also, you can expect to be leading a workshop on appropriate behavior between partners when all this settles.
Thank you,

On behalf of SAC Johannesen, the members of the task force, and myself, I would like to apologize for the clear dereliction of duty that one of our task force members demonstrated. Special Agent Tom Colton did willfully distribute confidential information pertaining to Case Number 13-8265014-99. This information was meant for Bureau eyes only and he deliberately provided sensitive aspects of this case to a member of the press.
Special Agent Tom Colton is hereby censured and relieved of his duties effective immediately. It will be determined via OPR if the Bureau will bring Mr. Colton up on charges of hindering an ongoing Bureau investigation.
Thank you,

Begin Transcript
[July 3, 1999 - 09:16:33]
Tape begins with timestamp recorded to be 09:16:33pm on the evening of July 3, 1999. Camera is directed towards an apartment kitchen. A sink and countertop is in view behind a large kitchen table. Off camera, audio from a television can be heard as well as two voices: one male, one female.
Female Voice (FV): Help me carry all these into the kitchen.
Male Voice (MV): C’mon, just do ‘em in the morning.
No voices are recorded for approximately three minutes.
[9:19:02]
FV: Mmmm, no. I need to get these rinsed off before this food gets stuck.
MV: [ inaudible ]
[9:19:55]
Male and Female enter into view of camera carrying what appear to be dishes -- wine glasses, plates, silverware. There is visual confirmation that male and female are Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Both individuals place dishes in sink. Agent Mulder leans against the side of the kitchen table while Agent Scully remains at sink, her back to the camera. Water can be heard running.
[9:20:03]
Agent Mulder (AM): Thanks for indulging me. And thank you for dinner.
Agent Scully (AS): No thanks necessary, Mulder. I love Pleasantville.
AM: That surprises me, Scully. As a scientist the idea that --
Agent Scully briefly turns around and appears to flick water at Agent Mulder before again turning her back to the camera.
AS: Mulder, shut up. It’s a beautiful movie.
AM: Beautiful, huh?
Agent Mulder stands fully upright and moves to stand directly behind Agent Scully. He appears to wrap his arms around her, effectively blocking her from the view of the camera.
AM: You looking to inject a little color back in your life? I think I can help with that.
AS: Oh that’s terrible. Even for you.
Agent Mulder laughs and crosses to the side of the table again. Agent Scully is once more in view of the camera.
AM: Don’t lie to me, Scully. I know why you love that movie so much. I’ve been replaced.
Agent Scully turns off the water at the sink and turns around, leaning back against it.
AM: You’ve fallen in love with Tobey Maguire.
AS: Jeff Daniels, actually.
Agent Mulder laughs. Agent Scully walks past Agent Mulder but he reaches for her, stopping her progress. She appears to come to him willingly, wrapping her arms around his neck before kissing him. They remain in that spot kissing for approximately 5 minutes.
[9:26:16]
Agent Mulder pushes Agent Scully back, the two of them switching places. Agent Scully is now leaning against the table. They continue to kiss.
[9:29:59]
Agent Mulder grasps Agent Scully by her hips and lifts her up onto the table. He [ redacted ] before grabbing a chair and placing it directly in front of Agent Scully. He proceeds to sit in the chair and pull himself forward to sit [ redacted ] her [ redacted ]. He places his hands on her [ redacted ] and pulls her forward to the edge of the table. Agent Scully proceeds to lean back on her elbows.
AS: And what do you think you are doing?
AM: Having dessert. Obviously.
AS: Oh you are so full of --
Agent Scully does not finish her sentence.
[9:30:45]
Agent Mulder appears to engage in the act of [ redacted ] with Agent Scully. This act proceeds in the same position for approximately 8 minutes.
[9:39:01]
Agent Mulder adjusts his position by placing his hands on Agent Scully’s [ redacted ] underneath her [ redacted ]. [ redacted ] proceeds for approximately five minutes.
Agent Scully is now lying fully on her back, her face obscured by her arm. Loud, muffled moans can be heard.
[9:46:01]
Agent Scully removes the remainder of her clothing while Agent Mulder does the same.
[9:46:59]
Agent Scully climbs off the kitchen table and [ redacted ] chair. There is some fumbling before it appears the agents are engaged in [ redacted ].
[9:53:00]
Agent Mulder rises and lifts Agent Scully back on the table. Agent Scully proceeds to lie back on the table while Agent Mulder remains standing. [ redacted ] continues.
[9:58:46]
A chair located behind Agent Mulder is knocked backwards to the ground.
[9:59:17]
AS: From behind. [redacted], from behind, Mulder.
AM: Mm yes.
Agent Mulder takes a step backwards. Agent Scully crawls down from the table and turns away from Agent Mulder who then proceeds to push her shoulders down over the table, [ redacted ]. [ redacted ] continues.
AM: God, Scully, your [ redacted ] is so [ redacted ].
AS: Yes.
AM: Are you [ redacted ] for me, Scully?
AS: God, yes.
[10:03:55]
The force with which their activity commences begins to push the table to camera right.
[10:04:48]
AM: What do you need, Scully?
AS: [ unintelligible ]
AM: Tell me.
AS: [ unintelligible ]
Agent mulder [ redacted ] Agent Scully on the [ redacted ].
AM: Louder.
AS: [ redacted ]. Please. [ redacted ].
AM: That’s right
[10:05:59]
The table continues to be pushed camera right. Another chair is knocked to the ground.
[10:06:08]
Due to the movement of the table, Agent Scully’s face is no longer visible on camera.
[10:07:15]
There is now near continuous moaning heard from both individuals.
[10:09:00]
Agent Mulder lifts Agent Scully’s right leg up onto the table. [ redacted ] continues.
[10:10:07]

Aggression
Voyeurism has been linked to crimes of violence, namely murder and arson, as well as to burglary (Yalom, 1960). One might expect that the night prowler who is looking for houses to burglarize will encounter, by chance, instances of sexual acts and of women undressing for bed. However, the association with homicide and arson is less obvious. Yalom (1960) indicated that voyeurism can be considered sadistic since the intention of the voyeur is to injure or humiliate the victim. He and Karpman (1957) stressed that it is the forbiddenness of voyeurism that makes it gratifying. According to these authors, voyeurs are not interested in strip shows because it is being undetected that is exciting. Similar pleasure is derived from burglary.
Karpman (1957) suggested that voyeurs have an unusual lack of curiosity. They may have been stifled in childhood and then later their curiosity was channelled into peeping. One may equally postulate the opposite; that from the beginning, they had a very high level of sexual curiousity since they observe and engage in a wide variety of sexual acts.
Karpman did not think voyeurism is related to assault but Yalom suggested that it is a defense against aggression. Evidently, some voyeurs do not contain their aggressive urges. Gebhard et al.’s (1965) empirical evidence questions these assertions because, although some peepers tended to have an extensive criminal history, 45% were convicted solely for sexual offenses. The majority of their other offenses were minor in nature with burglary being the main felony, which authors noted, is readily associated with peeping. Exhibitionism was the most common other sexual offense. It occurred in 43% of the cases but noteworthy 20% of the offense involved force. Thus, a minority of voyeurs may manifest aggressive tendencies.
Moncrieff and Pearson (1979) compared exhibitionist-voyeurs who had been sexually assaultive with men who were only exhibitionists. They reported that assaultive exhibitionist-voyeurs and 8-2-4 (Schizophrenia-Depression-Psychopathic Deviate) for the nonassaultive group. The presence of elevated Psychopathic Deviate and Schizophrenia scale scores in the assaultive group was noteworthy compared to exhibitionists who looked relatively normal. Unfortunately a pure group of voyeurs was not examined.
Because voyeurism has been linked to violence, it merits careful scrutiny as a possible precursor and predictor of more serious aggression. Gebhard et al. described peepers as a mixed group including sociosexually underdeveloped men, mental defectives, situational cases, and drunks among other varieties. One can expect violence to be associated at least with some of their behaviors, aside from peeping. Perhaps the “voyeurism” seen in these men is normal behavior but it is given clinical significance because of their other behaviors. In the following two studies, the foregoing findings and speculations were examined.
I don’t yet know how to broach this topic with you so I’m writing this down in the hopes I can make my words and feeling make sense. If this had been happening a couple months prior, I would feel no hesitation in bringing this to you, but now that we’ve embarked on this new phase of our relationship I feel a sense of uneasiness.
To be frank, these letters are scaring me. I tried to make light of them at first because I didn’t want to bring any darkness or negativity into what’s been happening between us. It’s been such an amazing and beautiful two months, and the last thing I want to do is cause any of that to dim in any way. But, it’s becoming clear these letters are not a mistake; they are intended for me. And Mulder, you know I don’t like to admit this, but I am terrified.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me. You and I have both seen far worse. I don’t know, maybe it’s because of what happened with Padgett. No, I know it’s because of Padgett. Here we are again, with someone I don’t know attempting to look into my very soul and I can’t stand it. I feel so violated. And I’m torn, Mulder. Part of me wants to run to you, to tell you exactly how I am feeling and let you hold me and comfort me. But I think you and I both know that’s just not how I work.
We laughed at the first two letters. I tried to blow it off and not make a big deal out of it all, but on the inside I was reeling. I think maybe a part of you knew that. Knew that I needed to process this for myself. You made me promise to tell you if a third letter came.
And here I am now, with this last letter staring at me and my fear is growing exponentially with every day that I don’t tell you. This latest one is far more desperate in tone. Why do I this? Why do I let my fears and hesitations stop me from doing what I know I need to do?
I’m sorry, Mulder. I should have told you about this letter the moment I received it. So tonight, I’m going to show it to you. And I’m going to pray that my reluctance isn’t misinterpreted as mistrust. I do trust you.

Hope everything is going well. Just wanted you to know that I still have your Twister dvd. Sorry, I’ll bring it to the office and drop it off tomorrow.
So, I don’t mean to pry, but I just saw the tabloid article that came out regarding the case you’re working on. What’s going on?? Are the Spookys really missing and presumed dead? I mean, I feel so horrible. I didn’t even realize until Kara from Accounting gave me a copy of the rag mag that I hadn’t seen them in the building recently. Do you guys have any leads?

You should see the shit storm that is raining down on us because of that damn tabloid. SAC Johannesen and AD Skinner are on a rampage trying to find whoever leaked the story. It’s not even entirely accurate so I can’t imagine who their so called “source” is. I can’t tell you too much, Jules, you know that, but Mulder and Scully are definitely missing. It looks bad. I was at Agent Scully’s apartment with the SAC and the vibe there was...creepy. Random objects taken and not to mention it looks like things got a little violent.
I don’t know if I would say we are presuming them to be dead. But you know as well as I do that after 48 hours our chances of finding them alive dwindle.
Regarding my DVD, how about I stop by your apartment later tonight and pick it up?

Oh, no. I didn’t know them, really, but that’s so sad. And creepy.
And not entirely accurate? What info wasn’t accurate? As for the leak, I bet you it’s Stewart. He’s always had that air of superiority, kind of a God complex, ya know? Leaking information (inaccurate information!) to the press seems like something his skeevy, self-righteous self would do. Stewart loves the spotlight.
Also, wait. So, both agents are said to have been missing from her apartment, right? Do you think the rumors could be true?
Julie
P.S. I’ll be home by 6. Don’t bring that same bottle of merlot, I had a wicked hangover the last time we drank that.

Ok, keep this between the two of us, but you know how the tabloid said that DNA results came back inconclusive? We don’t even have the DNA results back yet! It takes longer than four days for that shit to get analyzed. And of course we’re not officially presuming anyone to be dead. Unofficially? Yeah...we’re worried. I’m not going to lie, Julie. The task force is tense right now. We have nothing to go on. There were some letters found (oh, god, please keep this to yourself!) and we’re having those analyzed, but other than that? Nothing. Not good for anyone’s morale.
Honestly, you know what I think is slowing this investigation down? Mulder is always into these conspiracy theories and other kind of spooky shit. I think everyone just assumes we’re going to have to tear apart the Bureau to find some kind of government mole or some shit to get anywhere. I mean, it wouldn’t surprise me. I’ve worked with Mulder on a couple cases here and there over the years and I swear, nothing is ever simple with that man. But what if it is this time? What if it's just some random psycho wreaking havoc? To be honest, I’m not sure which would be better.
It would not surprise me in the least if Stewart was the leak. What an asshole. But I’d put hard money on the leak being Colton. God, he’s such a little prick. And rumor has it, he’s had it out for the Spookys for a while now. I wouldn’t put it past him to go to the press just to make them look bad.
As far as the rumors surrounding Mr and Mrs Spooky? Looks like there might be more to that little moniker than we originally thought. There was most definitely something going on. I hope for their sake that info stays hushed though. Talk about a shit storm…
6:45 sound good? I have a ‘96 cab with our names on it. You want Thai? From that same place?

Do you think there could be someone targeting federal agents? Should I be worried?
I talked to Agent Scully once in the ladies room. It was like months ago, but she handed me a roll of toilet paper when I realized my stall was empty. She was just so nice, not the ‘ice queen’ that everyone claims. Truth be told, I kind of look up to her. I know her reputation can be hairy at times, but as a new agent I had such a hard time finding my footing here. The stories that I’ve heard about her and her work with Agent Mulder were just so inspiring. She always seems to rise above it all. Or seemed. I don’t even know which tense I should be using.
I wish there was something I could do to help, I really do. But you guys had better start thinking outside of the box here, or else heads are going to roll. Now it makes total sense as to why A.D. Skinner has been walking around with that scowl the last few days. He must be feeling so much pressure. Poor guy. He’s normally so polite, but lately, not so much.
Letters? What kind of letters?
I mean, two federal agents disappeared without a trace (or much of one), and from what I’ve heard, they have quite a long list of enemies. And I’m not even talking about the gossipy snobs that give them new nicknames in the women’s restroom on the 3rd floor each Monday morning. Truthfully, Henry, the chances of this being ‘simple’ seem incredibly slim, to me at least. Regardless, I really hope that something turns up soon, because I can see a few jobs disappearing if not. The tension in this building is so thick you could cut it with a butter knife.
HA! It totally is Colton. I swear, him and Stewart were made for each other. They can sit there and stroke each other’s egos while pretending to investigate actual cases. “You’re a good agent,” “No, YOU’RE a good agent.” Gross, I can actually hear it as I type it.
Definite yes to the cabernet and thai. Tofu pad thai, please. Last time you forgot the tofu.
