PANIS ET CIRCENSES by Halrloprillalar - hal@prillalar.com "Scully, it's me." FBI Special Agent Fox "Spooky" William Mulder, a tall, lanky, brown-haired man with sleepy hazel eyes and a pouty lower lip, talked on the phone in the X-Files division office, where he investigated unexplained phenomena. "It's over, Mulder," said his partner, Special Agent Dana Katherine Scully, a petite, shapely redhead with periwinkle blue eyes and a creamy complexion who had been originally assigned to debunk the X-Files but now believed in the validity of Mulder's work. "It was a hoax perpetrated by the amusement park owner. Some kids in a van exposed him and he confessed." "I'll get back to my quest to prove aliens exist and to find my sister who was abducted when we were children." "See if you can expose the men who abducted me," Scully added. "Don't just sit around watching those videos that aren't yours." "OK, Scully." F I N I S Halrloprillalar hal@prillalar.com http://prillalar.com/
