Headers at the bottom of the page. **** You're remarkably patient, Mr. Mulder, feigning interest in those sharks while stewing in my betrayal. Had I never experienced your youthful righteousness myself, I might think you a fool. No, you're no fool: smarter than many of my colleagues give you credit for, certainly smarter than your father. Oh, they know you're insightful, relentless, but some also believe you're weak like he was... *is*. Your presence here proves they're mistaken. There's far more for you to learn before you can expose the truth, Mr. Mulder. Some secrets, though, are too cataclysmic to ever be revealed. You must trust me on this, as I trust you with my knowledge. My colleagues can still hear you; tread carefully or your life -- and the truth's release -- will end with a whimper of sudden but unremarkable death. Or they'll kill Scully: distraction by tragedy. Both of you must exercise extreme prudence now, without diminishing your resolve. As must I. **** h e a d e r s p o i l e r s p a c e TITLE: 155 Words III: Deep Throat AUTHOR: Forte E-MAIL: Bjm1352@aol.com or Forte1354@aol.com URL: http://www.thebasementoffice.com/ RATING: PG-13 CATEGORY: VA SPOILERS: Through "E.B.E."
