The X-Project

Subject: Psychopaths, federal agents, and other curses of these interesting times.

I have to admit, giving you information is much more convenient when I can simply walk downstairs to your office, rather than leaving cryptic messages in dead-drops. Still, just for old times' sake . . . check your top desk drawer when you have a moment. I've attached the encryption key for the flash drive you'll find there; it occurred to me that the inestimable Agent Cooper might not be the only one interested in what I know about our mutual friend with the claws and the poor dental hygiene. Besides, this way if she's smart enough to call your people in, you can feel all smug at the briefing table when she starts telling you things you already know.

Or, at any rate, I can feel smug about it. Enjoy.
