He's already swooping in beside her to look, bent down slightly and squinting at the door. "You have one of those smart locks. I've never seen one of them in person before."

They have yet to become ubiquitous here in 2014; having one is the mark of either a technology freak or someone paranoid enough to want security cameras all over her property. And frankly, Mulder gets the instinct. He waves at the camera, feeling simultaneously awkward and amused at the thought of being caught on tape. Someday Scully will see this, and he'll be able to say, see, there you were. Not a day over thirty-six.

He pokes the call button, but of course, all it does is ring in her house. Somewhere, there's a cell phone with a notification going off. "We might need the crowbar after all."
