:::begins tape:::

1: Fox, can you hear me?

2: Yes.

1: Tell me about the violin. Why do you keep going with the same tune?

2: The record is stuck.

1: Excuse me?

2: The record--the man has a record on, and its stuck. 

1: Do you recognize the music?

2: I've never heard it before tonight.

1: What day is it, Fox?

2: The day after Thanksgiving. November....twenty-seventh, i think.

1: What year?

2: Nineteen seventy-three.

3: Ohmigod.

1: What is it?

3: Thats the day his sister dissappeared.

1: Fox, do you remember what happened to Samantha?

2: (crying) Y-yes. I'm not supposed to.

1: What happened?

2: (crying) They messed it all up. Put it in layer after layer so I'd 
never know what *really* happened.

1: Why the music?

2: Its safe. They won't hurt me if I drift. Close my eyes, and just 
listen.

1: You have to open your eyes. You have to tell me whats happening.

2: C-can I start from the beginning? Its all mixed up now.

1: Go ahead.

2: Me and Samantha. I was supposed to babysit. My dad said something. 

:::pause:::

2: He knew. That bastard knew!!

1: Knew what?

2: That something was going to happen tonight. I can see it now. He said 
something about not letting Samantha out of my sight. But then I didn't 
pay much attention to him. 

:::pause:::

1: What are you and Samantha doing?

2: Playing that stupid board game she likes. I always win, you know. 

:::pause:::

2: The lights went out. And Samantha's screaming. Someone got in through 
the window! He grabbed her, and started to go...but I was there. I 
wasn't supposed to be there.

1: Do you recognize the man?

2: I didn't then. I do now.

1: Who is he?

2: John Roche.

1: Who's that?

:::pause:::

2: Scully?

3: I'm here.

2: It *was* him. John Roche killed Samantha. She was his first. But he 
wasn't a serial killer then. He was just...doing the job.

1: Doing the job for who?

2: Them. Them! The people. The...the guys that work with my dad. John 
Roche was hired to kidnap Samantha so that my father...(crying).

1: So that your father would what?

2: Loyalty is everything to these guys. They were only going to kidnap 
her. And return when my father proved that he wasn't going to expose 
them. 

1: I want you to go back to when he grabbed Samantha. Whats happening?

2: He and the other guy. I recognize the other guy. He comes over a lot. 
Or at least he used to. Samantha used to call him Mr. Morley. He's 
yelling at John Roche. I wasn't supposed to be there. Roche was supposed 
to get rid of me first, in the woods. But he took me and Samantha to the 
same place.

1: And what place is that?

2: Some basement. We're both tied up. And that music! He's playing some 
kind of symphony over and over and over.

1: What else is happening?

2: Mr. Morley said that Roche had to get rid of me. And then he leaves. 
And then...Oh God! (crying)

1: What?

2: (crying) He killed Samantha! Right there in front of me! And I 
couldn't stop him. She was screaming and screaming and screaming my 
name! The blood...oh god, there was so much blood, so much so 
much...(unintelligible)

1: Its ok. You're here now. Tell me whats happening.

2: He killed her.

1: Then what?

2: I don't know. I just...stop.

1: Stop what?

2: Stop everything.

1: Its important. You have to remember. What happened?

2: Roche made a mistake. He wasn't supposed to kill her. Just keep her 
there, alive. But he liked killing. He had to hide the body, and he had 
to get rid of me.

1: Get rid of you how?

2: He couldn't kill me. Too messy. Too risky. That would make my father 
do whatever he could to hurt them. They used me, to give them hope for 
Samantha's return. But she never...she-she (hysterical crying)

3: Are you sure that this is going to help?

1: This is the most so far he's been out of a catatonic state. If he 
remembers, it might bring him out for good.

:::pause::: (more crying)

1: What did they do to you?

2: The voice. They put the voices in my head. The memories. They screwed 
with everything. They made me forget John Roche, Samantha's death.

1: How?

2: How the hell should I know? I hid. I hid from the pain, in the music. 
The record's stuck.

:::pause:::

2: My whole life was made into a lie at that moment.

:::ends tape:::

Case Notes: Patient has reverted back into full catatonic state, brought 
out only under hypnosis. This doctor is at a loss for diagnosis, much 
less therapy.

The End...??
Or will you send me enough feedback so that I have to get our boy out of 
it some more...you decide.
