Smart and Hilton returned to Washington D.C. after dealing with the Collinsport Police. Their chief and superior eyeballed the lost microfilm satisfactorily after wondering if it'd ever turn up again.

"You two did a good job," He replied. "To tell you the truth, some of the agents were betting on whether you'd find it."

Larabee hovered nearby. He snapped his fingers in the Chief's face a few times as his superior pulled out a fifty and slapped it into his fat fingers.

"What's next ?" Max asked. "Do we go back and find out who killed Parker ?"

"No, Max." The chief sat down. "We're leaving that up to the Collinsport police. We don't have time for a murder case."

"What a shame, Chief." Agent 99 sat on the edge of the desk. "I'd love to go back to Collinsport someday. Ghostly little girls, vampires, shadowy dark streets, it would make a great place to film a tv series !"

"99, who would want to watch a show like that ?" He looked to Larabee.

"I would, Max. " Larabee answered. "There hasn't been anything good on since they canceled The Twilight Zone."

"Chief, " 99 spoke up. "There were some unanswered questions in this case. Couldn't I go back sometime ?"

"No." The chief pulled out a file. "You and Max are going next to Mayberry, North Carolina, and I'm sending a copy of this case to a friend of mine in the FBI."

"The FBI ?" Max made a look.

"Sure." The Chief of Control looked up. "Assistant Director Walter Skinner. He's heading a X-Files Division."
