The obvious question that Richard doesn't ask Mulder or Scully is why? What was so important that Mulder felt like he had to intrude where he knew (or assumed) he wouldn't be wanted?
I would like to know that too! Over the course of the series we see Mulder struggle with Scully's involvement with the X-Files. He needs her, but he feels guilty about what her involvement does to her (the "Go, be" speech from FtF, for example). It seems like him coming to see her must have been precipitated by something really important happening--but we never find out what it was, or what he thought about before going to see her.
