There is so much we will never understand about human nature, serial killers and rapists. But what if there are worse monsters out there? As an FBI Agent William Scully had seen more than his share of strange things, but this case was off his radar. A young boy had gone missing from a Iowa farm town. his body was later discovered in a corn filed, in the middle of what the locals called a crop circle.
Will shook, his head and handed a copy of his filed report to the young secretary. "this one is to wired for me. Maybe your guys can make heads or tails of it." the girl accepted the folder.
"I'll get a team on it right away." she told him and closed the door in his face Will was glad he hadn't been asked to stay and explain the case to the weirdos who worked in the basement office. They were called the x-files, a group of strange FBI agents assigned to investigate the weird cases no one else wanted.
William was a good agent, had 70% conviction rate on his cases, and was respected amongst his peers. Will's personal life consisted of going home and watching TV alone on the couch until he conked out around midnight. The job was Will's life. "Scully!" Skinner called.
"yes sir?"
"you handed off the Mitchell case without permission?"
"i was on my way to your office. It isn't a normal case sir."
"i don't care. The family is angry, they are talking to the press."
"what for? FBI agents hand off cases all the time."
"the x-files have a reputation. They are saying the FBI is insensitive towards their grief of losing their son." Skinner shook his head and ran a hand through his thinning hair.
"those loons claim their so was killed by aliens!" Will shouted in anger.
"i know, and the last thing I want is you going any where near the x-files. But we don't need the bad press. I am re-assigning you to this case, with Agent Riley."
"what ever you say." Will turned and headed back down to the thick metal door with X-files printed in thick black letters.
The young secretary answered the door again. She was around 25, her hair was in a short red bob. She was a little overweight but still very cute... not the kind of person you'd expect to find in a secret underground office. "come on in, we don't bite." she grinned. Will followed her into a nice neat office covered in pictures of UFOs and aliens. There were five desks around the wall and a few spare chairs. "Zoe will be right out." the girl said sitting at one of the desks.
"who?" Will pulled a chair up to the front of her desk
"agent Riley." she rolled her eyes. The main door opened again and two men came in, with their cloths disheveled. They were laughing and jostling each other back and forth.
"who's the suit?" the taller asked. He had short spiked brown hair and a big grin.
"this is agent William Scully, Zoe's new partner." the Secretary told them. The two men laughed.
"she is gonna eat Mr. Bland alive" the shorter one grinned.
"i don't know, he's kinda cute. Maybe she'll let him live." the Secretary who's name was Jo, told them. "agent Scully this is Agent James Tomas and special agent John Grimm."
"please," the taller one responded. "I'm Jimmy and he's Johnny."
"gentile men, pleasure to meet you."
"Zoe is gonna have a field day with this one!" Johnny grinned. "tell me you have at least heard of her?" Will nodded.
"agent Riley was top of her class, she is the youngest agent to be in charge of a department and..."
"and she was hand picked by the legend himself, agent Fox Mulder, to be his successor. You know there is a story saying your his kid... got the same last name as his partner, look a hell of a lot like him. What do ya say? You mulder's son?"
"i never met agent Mulder, or his partner. Your not the first to ask that question."
"your to plain to be mulder's kid. Ya got no personality."Johnny said slapping will on the shoulder. The big door opened again and in walk the most beautiful woman Will had eve laid eyes on. Her long dark hair tumbled down her back in a cascade of ringlets. Her perfect body curved in all the rite places. She had on a dark pencil skirt, a dark fitted suit jacket and button down shirt beneath. Her perfume wafted on the breeze of the air conditioning, intoxicating William. Her face was warm and happy, but those alluring dark brown eyes held such beautiful sorrow.
"Agent Scully, how nice to see you here!" she grinned and held out her hand. "i have heard good things about you." Will was paralyzed, looking into those pools of melted chocolate, she could drown a man with her eyes.
"uummm... yes. Nice yo meet you to." he stammered taking her hand, and in an act completely out of character he raised her hand to his mouth and gently pressed his lips to her knuckles.
"no need for that sir, I assure you." she smiled and took her had back. "i think perhaps we should get our selves on a plain... we have a murder to solve."
