Author's Summary
After the X-Files are shut down (post first-season finale), Fox Mulder takes a leave of absence, only to get a strange phone call from a fellow UFO enthusiast who tells him he's harboring an "abductee" Mulder should talk to. When he meets the woman, the "spooky" senses start tingling, and he can't figure out why he's drawn to her. But is she who she appears to be?
Author's Foreword
Ever since I saw the X-Files episode "Conduit", I knew I wanted to write a Samantha-story. Of course, we X-Philes know the story well. It was the first time we realy got see the pain Agent Mulder has lived with since his younger sister disappeared 21 years ago-- the victim, he believes, of an alien abduction.This is the story of Samantha Mulder's return...or is it? You decide. The events of this story take place shortly after the first season finale.
Special thanks to my telepathic buddy Patti MacKinnon who did a ton of research for me, and "Agent" Ian Shearer who is a walking encyclopedia of classified information. Some of my info came from the alt.alien.visitor.faq and the book _The Allagash Abductions_ by Raymond Fowler. Thanks to Dr. Seuss, Toronto music group The Leslie Spit Treeo for the song "UFO", and of course Chris, David and Gillian for a stellar job on a stellar show.
And now...let us see if the truth is out there, shall we?
