"...Is that a rabbit pelt? Just in a file?" Kat asks, nose wrinkling a little, any other questions about the nature of this whole operation momentarily put on hold. Even with the truly comical number of boxes in here, she expected only paperwork, not animal fur. It makes her wonder about what's in the rest of them, if John just happened to pick out an anomalous one as an example or if the others have weird shit in them, too. Of course, when she thinks about it like that, knowing Darrow, it's all weird shit. Either way, she's not surprised someone pawned these files off on someone unsuspecting. "Gross."

It could be worse, she thinks. It could just be a dead rabbit, or the pelt could be all gnarly, or something like that. Still, it's a little disconcerting, enough to distract her for just a moment from what she's really interested in. Had she known their little scam was going to fund something apparently supernatural in origin, she might have been that much quicker to agree, though that doesn't really make a difference now that she's actually done it. It's a far cry from a few years ago, when she would have written off the mere possibility of anything of the sort, but things have changed since then. She gave up being a skeptic pretty damn fast when she realized her baby sister was actually possessed.

"So what sort of X-FIles stuff are we talking about here?" she asks, because it's a pretty vague description and so far no one has offered much more than that. "You're not really gonna drop that and not follow up, right?"
