The Maryland side of the Causeway, Tuesday evening
Scully had visited her mom, then had coffee with Mulder. He didn't recognize the names of about a half-dozen of their co-workers, and about as many case suspects. But he believed her. He walked her back to the Causeway after they'd finished talking, the sunset lowering over the Bay.
"You have to check in," Mulder told her. "We've got to stay on top of this. I'll take a leave of absence until it's resolved, okay?"
"Okay." Scully gave him a hug, needing the comfort, even though it wasn't something they usually did. "Stay safe, Mulder."
She started walking up the Causeway...
... and found herself facing Mulder. "What the?"
Turned around facing the way to the Island again, determinedly strode off...
Mulder stared at her. "You have no idea how weird that is to watch. You just suddenly are flipped around facing me."
Scully felt a chill. "This can't be happening." She took out her phone and dialed Claudia's number. "But I better let some people know."
