In 2007, the FBI curtailed an assassination attempt on a U.S. Senator, a candidate for the Presidency of the United States. The hit eventually led back to a Gas and Oil Company who had been awarded government contracts to rebuild the oil fields in the Middle East. A thread from one of their overseas offices led to a government conspiracy and that conspiracy ultimately led to the two-term Vice President of the United States.
It was an uncomfortable situation, but one that gave the U.S. Senator a leg up, for as he knew, knowledge is power. Not wanting to taint the outcome of the upcoming election, recognizing the country's morale was already low and in the midst of a serious economic crisis, the President and the U.S. Senator agreed to bury this information and keep it from the public.
This Senator would eventually be elected President in 2008 and take office in January of 2009. In his first 100 days, he granted an audience with the FBI agents who saved his life.
They included a remarkable group of current and former FBI agents plus two others, all of whom were directly involved in the events past, present and future that would determine the fate of the planet.
At the forefront, former FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully, the two individuals who fifteen years before first became entangled in this conspiracy against humanity. Their FBI superior Assistant Director Walter Skinner, a man whose integrity had saved Mulder and Scully more than once while putting his own well being at risk.
FBI Special Agents John Doggett and Monica Reyes, who were pulled into this labyrinth of deceit and conspiracy and refused to turn their backs on those who preceded them, and Deputy Director Alvin Kersh, who was used by our own government to further a secret agenda that hid behind national security and free market values.
And finally, former Special Representative to the Secretary General of the United Nations Marita Covarrubius, a duplicitous informant with first hand knowledge and access to those who orchestrated the conspiracy, and former chess prodigy and parapsychological phenomena Gibson Praise, whose genetic make up was known to be a missing link in this war against evil.
The story they told was extraordinary and too chilling to be a lie and the President believed in their patriotism and sanity. He instructed his newly formed Cabinet to vet the individuals and find the truth behind the allegations.
By mid 2009, the President and his cabinet agreed, a covert scientific research project known as Shield had been in place since 1947. Over the next several decades Project Shield had taken on sinister undertones. In the 1970's it had been turned over to the private Sector, where it had gone underground until the late 1990's. At that time a new breed of politicians were coming into office, many of who had ties to Oil Industry. These men had created a shadow government. Their objective, to further the agenda of the conspiracy and in return, control the oil cartel in the Middle East and ultimately become the ones to take charge of the post colonization planet.
In the year 2000, the 43rd President of the United States, his National Security Advisor and the Secretary of State had become pawns in this ongoing conspiracy. They were used, manipulated and controlled by the Vice-President and his supporters, the Secretary of Defense and Attorney General. They agreed to work for the conspiracy and against any attempt to bring a new government into Washington, DC.
The failed assassination attempt had been their downfall and the Vice-President's involvement with the Super Soldier program and his self-serving motives had come to an end.
It has been said before; at every end is a new beginning.
"Mulder, where are you going? It's so early, come back to bed."
"Go back to sleep." He smoothes Scully's hair away from her eyes and tucks the covers around her body. He quietly makes his way to his study at the other end of their house. When Scully walks by Mulder's lair, she knows he's beyond training and she copes by closing the door. There are post it notes, empty coffee mugs, an assortment of magazines and a stack of mail scattered about.
He logs onto his computer and is grateful for the fast internet connection, it's a perk of finally being on the right side.
Mulder runs his fingers through his hair and scratches at his whiskers. Logging on to his email, he scrolls through his Inbox and opens one he's been looking for.
\\ Mulder, Monica's sure it's him. He's good. Don't worry. We'll be back in touch soon. -- JD \\
He reads the email again and his heart beats faster. He'll have to tell Scully, not now, but soon.
