   To be honest, I think she was using the search for Monica Bannan as an   
   excuse to meet Mulder.  She knew of his work, and since I don't think   
   the FBI was probably actively publicizing the old X-Files cases, it   
   seems to me she would have had to seek them out to know about them.

   Well, there have been hints throughout the show, going all the way back to   
   Season 1, that Mulder and the X-Files were a somewhat common and popular   
   topic of water-cooler discussion amongst *all* the agents in the FBI, and   
   even that there were actually fully-formed camps of 'believers' and   
   'sceptics'. Think of Leyla Harrison versus the early Jeffrey Spender, for   
   example. Even Scully had heard all the Mulder stories before she was   
   assigned to the XF (from the pilot -- remember in that first scene in   
   Blevins's office she said she already knew Mulder 'by reputation').   
      
   I don't find it hard to believe at all that a reasonably open-minded, random   
   agent would actually be pretty well-acquainted with Mulder's work by pure   
   accident, because everyone was always talking about it, and then decide to   
   seek him out after finding that a case of hers would be well-suited for his   
   skills.

   And throughout the movie, she seemed just a tad TOO attentive to   
   him.

   Maybe she was the reincarnation of that creepy dog-loving chick with lupus   
   from 'Alpha'. Who, BTW, I am willing to go on record as saying that she was   
   totally sexy, and I don't care what anyone else says.
