Mulder is abducted. Scully remains behind, searching.
“Rice Krispies. Cheerios. Fruit & Fiber. Count Chocula. Malt-O-Meal. If she were back in D.C., the decision would be easy. Frosted Mini-Wheats, bite-size, then on to the canned soup.
“But Scully seemed to have used up all her decisiveness in the flurry of packing, moving, and settling into her new apartment in Portland, because the simple task of picking a breakfast cereal was currently an exhausting decision. Had there always been this many brands? The past week had been a whirlwind of change. Waiting 72 hours for the results of chorionic-villus sampling to tell her what she already knew — the child she carried was purely hers and Mulder’s. Plowing through all Mulder’s files on abductions to digest the statistics and plan her next move. Convincing Skinner that moving here temporarily was the best thing for her now. Running away, in all actuality, from her former life.” Rated PG. (42 K)
