Why this must be read:
Okay, to be honest, I'm not entirely certain that this one will be everyone's "cup 'o' tea," but... for all of that, it is a nicely written piece. The author is spot on with the characterizations, particularly those of the Lone Gunmen, and the moment with them and our favorite Feds is amusing and tense and perfect. Never has a trivial pursuit game been so fun to read about. *grin*
"I don't know, exactly," Scully pauses a moment before dropping the other pricey Italian shoe, "but he's connected somehow to Diana Fowley." She flashes a challenging glance at our motley crew, daring us to decline her request for help. "Look, I've appreciated your help in the past, but if you feel...you can't or don't want to get involved...tell me now."
In the veiled language of Special Agent Dana Scully, FBI, that means, "If you're worried about pissing off Mulder, I'll understand and seek kung fu elsewhere." But our kung fu is the best, and she knows it. What she doesn't understand, not yet, is that our loyalties don't lie with Mulder, exactly, but with his search for the truth. And if he's gone spelunking up his ass, we still have to stay on the right path. Right now, Scully's the scoutmaster, and she's got the flashlight.
