“Why exactly are you back in Oregon Mulder? Skinner is expecting us in his office in, oh, I don‘t know, 10 minutes. I‘m going to get chewed out by A.D. Skinner and you‘re out hunting for goodness knows what else”
“Mulder you’re in nowheresville Oregon, when we have to explain why we were the ones that stole this case and ran with it. AND we didn’t get any new leads on it.”
“Scully you’re ranting, calm down. I got a lead on the notes, when I was reading a book last night.”
“All right Mulder, I’ll cover for you. Just make sure you have solid information before you come back.”
How could Mulder do this to me again thought Agent Dana Scully, she thought back to 2 days earlier.

Two days earlier.
Scully walked into the all to familiar F.B.I. basement room, in all of it’s glorious filth. Case files were always stacked hip deep. An entire corner of the room was filled with balled up paper. She had no doubt that the small dented trash can was under there somewhere. She also saw that the old slide projector was up and running.
Her partner Fox Mulder was stareing at a slide projection on the wall. The projection was a photo of two bodies side by side. Both she noted were missing their right legs.
“Let me guess these people didn’t exactly win the luck lottery.” Scully said sarcastically.
“They were Stan Sheilding and Gary Leliwen. Both of them had earned a small fortune of about 5 million each.”
“Small fortune, Mulder?”
“How would you say these people died?” Asked Mulder.
“Over excessive bleeding, possibly.”
“Both lived on a certain Chandler street in Lake Oswego, Oregon. They were found at a nearby country club. Both had notes attached to their left leg.” Said Mulder.
“What did the notes say,” Scully asked.
Mulder handed her 2 pieces of paper. The first said If… Puzzled Scully looked at the next, all it said was You…
“This doesn’t specifically suggest an X-File.” Said Scully flatly.
“But wait until you see the next six.”
Scully lined up the papers from the next six murders to come up with If… You… Cut… Off… His… Leg… He… Will…
“He will what Mulder?” Asked Scully more than a little confused.
“There was a case like this back in 91’ . The investigators could not find a shred of evidence to link those murders to anyone. Although they did suspect Martha Barnes of killing a grand total of 11 people. With notes, that when put together, said if you cut off his leg he will give you butter.”
“Butter? You have got to be kidding.” said Scully.
“Yes butter, that is exactly what makes it an X-File.” Replied Mulder.

Scully had a feeling that she would either get a reprimand or be fired in the next 20 minutes.
She stepped out of the elevator and walked down the freakishly long hallway to A.D. Skinners office.
Skinner sat alone at a very tidy desk. He motioned for her to sit in one of the guest chairs.
“So agent Scully where is Mulder,” asked Skinner glancing up from a paper in front of him.
“Sir, he believed he found a lead on the case and returned to Oregon.”
Skinner shook his head and was about to say something when Scully’s cell phone began to ring.
“Answer it.” Skinner ordered.
She pressed a button and stuck it next to her ear.
“Scully we made an arrest here.” Declared Mulder. “It was Martha Barnes, the one I was telling you about earlier.”
“Do you have enough evidence to back up the arrest?” Asked Scully.
“Well, we have a confession and a set of very bloody kitchen knives.”
“All right then, that covers it.”
“I decided to do a few interviews, and Martha Barnes was defiantly on my list. Just guess what she served me as a snack.” said Mulder.
“What Mulder?” Asked Scully, extremely annoyed.
“Butter cookies and tea.”
“How is that in any way suspicious?” Asked Scully skeptically.
“She made 11 dozen cookies.”
“Is that why any and all butter was missing from all 22 victims houses, the ones from 91’ and now?” Asked Scully.
“Yup it’s looking that way.”
“I’ll see you when you get back to Washington.” said Scully. They hung up.
“Agent Scully what does Mulder have to say for himself?” Asked Skinner.
“He has solved the case and made an arrest.”
“This meeting I can see is no longer necessary, tell Mulder I look forward to seeing his report.”
“I will.” Said Scully as she stood up and left the room.

“I still am no closer to understanding what made Martha Barnes kill people for butter.” said Mulder to Scully as he locked up their basement office for the night.
“I guess some people are just weird like that.” Scully said in reply.
“I guess,” said Mulder back.
“Speaking of guessing what was the book that led you to solve this case?” Asked Scully genuinely curious.
“Ummm, it was kind of a J.D. Robb book. Where this lady murders her husband with pie. Which led me to think of butter in cooking. Then I thought of the only person in that neighborhood that doesn’t have a chef to cook for them.”
“Mulder, you read Nora Roberts books?” Asked Scully in a shocked tone.
