Title: Out of the Cold Author: Vickie Moseley Finished: April 25, 1999 Summary: It's 1991. Fox Mulder has been a profiler under Bill Patterson for over a year and a half. He's facing one of his hardest cases, and a nasty cold. Both of them are about to get a lot worse. Category: X A MT (no Scully) Rating: R for language, violence (no sex--sorry ;) Archive: Yes Disclaimer: If I owned them, this would be the NEXT X Files book. But since I don't, no copyright infringement on 1013, Fox or anyone else is intended. But if you are looking for authors, I'm looking for work. Started a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Finished March, 1999. Author's notes: This is my longest work, to date. I started it as a simple little story, Mulder with a cold. I wanted to venture back into the heady days of Bill Patterson, Reggie Purdue and Jerry LaMana. I wanted to know Fox Mulder before the X Files, before Scully, even before he decided his sister was abducted by aliens. And yes, even before he ran across a *itch named Diana :) The following is what came of that wish. It took a great deal of time, and a lot of simmering on the back burner. I am not a doctor, so please forgive any medical inaccuracies you find. I have had pneumonia, and have nursed someone with pneumonia, so I'm not a total novice in that regard. As for the mental institution near the end, I need to thank a lot of people who have forged that trail before me. Not the least of which is the wonderful writer, Amperage, whose work 'the Sacrifice' was one of the first 'long' works I read. Also, Goo and Amp's excellent efforts in Oklahoma, which gave us one view of the young Fox Mulder, must be mentioned here. JoAnn Humby gave us a glimpse of Mulder at the Academy, her work blazed this trail also. Dedication: No work that's 25 parts long can exist without a lot of beta readers. Some of my beta readers have seen this work languishing for months (even years) at a time. These hardy souls deserve far more than just a thank you in my author's notes, but here it is. Thanks (in alpha order) to Amanda, Brandon, Kathy, Kristina, Sally, Susan & Ten. Each and every one of you are in here somewhere. You'll know you when you see you :)
