Why this must be read:

What if, after Mulder's apparent suicide in the S4 finale, "Gethsamane," he were recruited by a covert anti-terrorist group?

A short, sharp, stylish shock.

The blue and green bars of the holo flicker into life, resolve into a three-dimensional map. As the display rotates the glow briefly teases other profiles out of the shadows: Michael, Birkoff, Pendrell, Ops. Ops is in control here, as always; the gray eyes catch each of us in turn as he rattles off players, entrances, objectives. Tonight there is nothing of the usual mind-games; no crawling into the psyche of a terrorist, no seduction of a drug lord's girlfriend. No, tonight is a straightforward termination. The beams dance left to right, scanning us a picture of the target, and I draw in my breath.

Good rec; that is a dark little gem of a story.
