Why this must be read:
When one strange show meets another strange show…things get stranger. And people start to wonder about goats. As usual, Mulder and Scully are investigating an odd occurrence and poor Methos finds himself in the mix. Witty dialogue that sounds practically pitch perfect for the characters, as well as a steamy involvement between Methos and Mulder, all wrapped together with the yarns of a stand-alone-show type mystery. It just gets more bizarre from there, and if not perfectly bow-tied, it wraps itself up neatly by the end.
"So it's a sheer coincidence that the unusual events that have culminated in the death of Mr. Tyler started the day after you came to China?"
"I don't know if it's a coincidence or not." Methos put a can of Coke down in front of the agent and was gratified to see him open it and drink without seeming to think about it. If Mulder was starting to lower his guard, his suspicions couldn't be quite so fervent now. "Maybe my Range Rover is sending out some really odd vibrations, maybe someone decided to kill Tyler for renting his house to a stranger." He sat down and stretched his legs out, did his best to look perfectly relaxed. "What exactly are these unusual events you keep talking about, Agent Mulder? Crop circles? Pink elephants? I'd be willing to get up at the crack of dawn and stake out a hayfield to see a pink elephant."
"With binoculars and a thermos of coffee," Mulder murmured.
"I don't think pink elephants commonly drink coffee," Methos said judiciously, "but it's a well-known fact that they carry binoculars, of course."
That got him a faint snort of laughter, and Methos realized that he was tempted to forgo his privacy and go on spouting absurdities for the rest of the afternoon just to get to hear it again. This was one of the more entertaining conversations he'd had in a long time. But the agent drank some more Coke and said, "No, there are no elephants or crop circles involved, Mr. Franklin. How do you feel about a hail of frogs?"
"Binoculars *and* an umbrella," Methos said. "Obviously there are more fascinating tourist attractions in China than I'd anticipated."
"The paper-clip chain pales by comparison," Agent Mulder agreed.
