Whoever's doing this, he's not above taking children. She can't be more than ten years old." She had begun to move a little, not walking far but pacing back and forth on the street corner.
"How is it that we're losing time, though?" She braced herself for the words 'extraterrestrial' or 'paranormal'.
As soon as she heard the names of the streets she was on the move. "Mulder, stay where you are, I want to--I'm coming to find you." She'd familiarized herself with the town by then, she knew the general location; she knew she could find him.
