Mulder Residence
42-2630 Hegal Place
Alexandria, Virginia
June 16, 1994
5:20 a.m.

 Mulder woke up with a groan of frustration. He had 
no idea what possessed the woman who lived in the 
apartment directly above him to run her vacuum at 
five in the morning. 

The roar of it rolling from her wood floor to the 
carpet robbed him of his sleep every morning. It was 
the kind of thing where you were half-asleep and 
half-awake and could probably lay there for another 
hour or two but every day there was the vacuum. 

Mulder half-stood up and half-fell out of his couch 
as he got up to get his running clothes on. He was 
almost ready and tying his shoes when the phone rang.

He walked back into the living room and over to the 
desk. It was only a little after five-thirty so 
chances were it was not just a friendly hello. When 
he picked up a receiver he heard a nervous voice.

"Hello, Mulder? Is that you?" a shaking man's voice 
asked. 

"Yeah this is Mulder speaking."

"This is Senator Matheson. I need you to meet me at 
my house right away. Hurry. 64 Loughborough Dr."

Mulder made an attempt to reply but found he was only 
talking to the dialtone. Mulder sighed as he headed 
back into the "bedroom" with no bed in it to change. 
It looked like he'd be better off if he had just 
stayed in the work clothes he'd been sleeping in.

Senator Matheson Residence
64 Loughborough Dr.
Washington, D.C.
June 16, 1994
5:58 a.m.

There were a couple police officers standing on the 
marble steps leading to the Senators house. They 
merely stared at Mulder and he walked up the steps 
and 
knocked on the door. A woman in her late forties 
answered the door and led him to the living room 
where the senator was waiting.

It was obvious that the man had not slept last night  
and lines of worry crossed his face. The senator 
managed a weak smile as he shook Mulder's hand and 
then gestured for Mulder to sit in the armchair to 
the right of him. Matheson cleared his throat before 
he began to speak.

"Mulder, I asked that you come here today because I 
need your help. My seventeen year old daughter, 
Sarah," he turned his head toward the picture on the 
coffee table. A young brown haired girl with big 
brown eyes was waving at the photographer as she 
stood on the deck of a yacht. "I convinced Sarah to 
go to this party on Saturday night. I just wanted her 
to meet some new people and socialize a little. The 
girl who was having the party, Cari, said that Sarah 
could stay the night along with a bunch of other 
girls. So I didn't think of it when Sarah didn't come 
home that afternoon. But then I got a call from 
Shelly, Cari's mom, saying that Sarah's jeep was 
still at her house and they didn't know where Sarah 
was." The senator shook his head, "We don't know if 
she ran away, if she was kidnapped, is she just went 
with someone or..." The Senator let the sentence drop 
off.

Mulder nodded his head understanding the Senator's 
feelings of anguish, "I'll find her Senator, I 
promise."

A look of relief washed over the Senators face and he 
told Mulder that the police were currently at the 
Idler's house.

Idler Residence
456 Browne Manor 
Hunt, Virginia
6:30 a.m

The sun had barely peeped above the horizon as police 
officers slowly walked the grounds of the Idler 
property, the ends of their navy blue pants wet from 
the dew that had not yet evaporated.

Mulder turned from the window of the solarium as 
Shelly and Cari Idler entered through the doorway 
connecting the solarium and the kitchen. It was 
obvious that both of the women had been crying.

Mulder waited for the two women to sit down on the 
wicker chairs before he asked "Did you see Sarah with 
anyone on Saturday, Cari?" 


Cari looked down at her lap, "I didn't really see 
anybody that night. Its just a blur, I was playing 
hostess and there were just so many people..." She 
looked up at Mulder, "I'm ashamed to say this but we 
didn't even notice she wasn't here when we went to 
bed. Sarah is one of those people where that can 
happen. I don't know, maybe I thought she ditched the 
party and went off with Acacia..."

"Who's Acacia?"

"I guess you could say Acacia is Sarah's bestfriend. 
They're both part of the same group, Purity something 
or other."

Before Mulder could ask what Purity something or 
other was a man entered the patio. With a sad look on 
his face he said quietly, "Agent Mulder, we found 
her."
