Why this must be read: I'm rather fond of stories of Mulder profiling before he finds the X-Files, but there aren't as many as I would like. This was the first I'd read of its kind, but though I have indeed read the famous "Oklahoma", I think this is my favorite of the genre.
Mulder is so...Mulder. His insights are typically brilliant and spooky, he's focused on the case even at the expense of his health and reputation, he disregards authority to do what he thinks best--and more often than not, he's right. The case is exactly the kind of thing we might see on the show, and it's written and explained at least as well as an actual episode.
There was something about this case that clawed at his mind. He knew he was on the right track, he just didn't know if he was on the right train. Steve Paige was the key, of that he was certain. There was too much evidence pointing his way. If Mulder let his imagination run wild, he could almost envision a scenario where Steve Paige had come back from the dead to avenge himself of his girlfriend's transgressions. A pretty neat trick, if it was remotely possible.
But the disappearance of the girlfriend had left him no alternative than to believe that she was the murderer. He wasn't comfortable with that. She was a tiny woman, by the picture he'd seen in the file. The MEs had all agreed that it took considerable strength to kill these men. He didn't think she was capable of that--but there weren't a lot of other answers. The important thing was to find her and question her. It was also possible that she was on the run, that she knew whoever was committing the murders and didn't want them to find her.
Mulder got up from the bed and the room spun around him. Big mistake, he chided himself. Got up too fast. He sat back down, then decided that maybe laying down would be the better option. In the bathroom, he could just make out Jerry singing off key in the shower. Sounded like the Police. Maybe Genesis. With Jerry's voice, it was hard to tell. Mulder closed his eyes for just a second and fell fast asleep.
