9X12 Scary Monsters
When eight year old Tommy Conlon hears scratching from under his bed, he calls his father, who checks
under the bed. Something moves across the floor but Conlon assures his son it is nothing and leaves. Tommy hears
the noise and makes for the door but his father is holding it closed.
In Quantico Scully is approached by agent Leyla Harrison about a case she thinks might be an X-file, Tommy told
his grandmother that a monster killed his mother. But Scully dismissed the case as the corner’s report shows that the
mother stabbed herself sixteen times.
Leyla does not tell Doggett and Reyes this when she approaches them to investigate the case. When they arrive Conlon
does not want them to speak with his son, but Tommy hearing voices comes outside. Leyla asks him about what he said to
his grandmother about monsters, but he replies that there are no monsters. Leyla feels foolish and apologises to Conlon,
however both Doggett and Reyes are suspicious. As they leave to get a search warrant, the car will not start and they
are showered with blood from the air vents. In the house Tommy tells his father the monsters won't let them leave.
Back in Washington Leyla’s friend Gabe Rotter arrives at Scully’s apartment with a dead cat, dug up from the Conlon’s
previous house. Scully’s autopsy reveals the cat chewed it’s own stomach as if trying to get something out. Leading
her to believe there is more to the case than she first thought.
Doggett and Reyes reached the same conclusion when they find Conlon holding his son’s bedroom door closed. Inside
they find three creatures scurrying across the floor. Conlon tells them the creatures will not hurt Tommy but that they will kill
everyone else.
Noteworthy Quote
Leyla Harrison: "Agent Mulder wasted no time closing that case. I just try
to think like him. What would Agents Mulder and Scully do if they were in
this situation?"
Doggett: "Agents Mulder and Scully aren't in this situation. Agents Doggett and Reyes are."
