In Falls Church, Virginia at 3:02 a.m. several weeks ago, a man is visited in his apartment by a dark-haired woman who refers to him as "Noah". Even though he slightly opens his door to peer at the woman, he keeps the door chain on and locks his door after seeing her. In Alexandria, Virginia at 6:04 a.m., Mulder peers through his closed blinds to see, parked outside, a car occupied by at least one man who is keeping a careful watch on Mulder's window. Mulder stands away from his blinds, worried by the sight.
