“We’re here, Mulder, NOW
will you tell me
what the X-file is?”
“Don’t know, Scully, Skinner told me to get out here, quick, and that it
was ‘your kind of case, Agent Mulder, that’s for sure.’whatever that means.
Anyway, …-”
|
|
“You the FBI agents?”
|
|
“Yes, sir, are
you Sheriff Hughes?”
|
|
“That’s what it says on
my desk. I was told you two were the ones to call about our little problem
here.”
|
|
“Just what is the nature
of your ‘little problem here?’”
|
|
“Well, in fact, Nature
is the big question. What do you two know about strange critters?”
“Just how strange of a critter, sir?”
|
|
“C’mon along and take a
look.”
“Sheriff, FBI agents do not usually get involved in wild animal hunts.”
“Oh, there’s no huntin’ to do. It’s right over…”
|
|
“…there. We call him,
‘Snap’”
|
|
“ ? ”
|
|
“Not often you come across
an English Dragon in West Texas.”
|
|
“ ? ”
|
|
“He showed up about a week
ago, frightened a few cattle, but he’s really a sweetheart. I wouldn’t bother
anyone about him, but he eats a cow a day. Figured the feds would know best
on where to send him.”
|
|
“Friendly little guy, isn’t
he.”
“Mulder, this is impossible. No vertebrate on Earth has four working limbs
AND fully developed wings. Bats, birds, even flying squirrels use stretched
skin and existing limbs.”
“Shame on you, Scully, you’re forgetting Dumbo.”
|
|
“Ears, Mulder, once again a
pre-existing structure, adapted to a non-standard function and why am I arguing
about a cartoon?”
|
|
“Because you'll argue anything
if you can get a handle on it Skip it. Say, he’s obviously warm blooded,
but it's just not hot enough to have a flamethrower inside here.”
|
|
“Mulder…..”
|
|
“I wonder if it’s natural, or
some genetic experiment.
Should we concentrate on where it came from, or if there are more, or …”
|
|
“Mulder!! I’ve
figured out what we’re going to do with it.”
|
|
“…we’ll let Mommy take care
of him. Unless you want to contest custody.”
|
|
“Meeep!”
|
|
“MRAAARRRR!”
“Meeep! Meeep!”
|
|
“I guess we’ll call that a positive
ID for the parent.”
“Figure she’s gonna take the little fella home. We can follow along, see
where they come from then.”
|
|
FWOOOOSH!
|
|
“Okay. Dragons use their fire
like stage magicians use smoke. Covers their escape.”
“Shucks, gonna miss that little fella.”
|
|
“Meeep.”
