6:24 A.M. THE BASEMENT OFFICE…

Scully walked into the office early that morning to get the paper work from there last case done and turned into Skinner by early afternoon. She stopped short when she saw Mulder asleep in his chair. His hair was sticking out everywhere, and his clothes were all wrinkled which indicated that he fell asleep here last night. She didn't want to wake him up so she quietly put her stuff down and walked down the hallway to get some coffee, to wake her up the rest of the way.

Mulder sensed that someone came into the office, but he really didn't care, he was too tired. So once he didn't here anymore noise he fell right back asleep.

Scully returned with her coffee and turned on her computer. She clicked on the file that held all her notes and paperwork to find that the report had been finished last night. She looked at the log off time 2:34 A.M. she looked at Mulder and smiled. She printed off the document and walked to the elevator.

The door was locked and all the lights were off. She slipped it under the door and turned around to find herself face to face with Tim Burns.

"Jesus Christ, Tim you scared the hell out of me. What do you want?"

"Well yesterday I gave Mulder a case, it was right after you left. But anyways I wanted to know if you guys would be willing to help out on this one. I figured that since you were finished with your latest case that you wouldn't mind?"

Scully wondered why the MPU would want their help. Unless they were abducted I don't think Mulder's gunna want to help.

"Let me talk to Mulder okay, and go over the details. As soon as we come to a decision I will come up here and tell you. Okay?"

"That's great, thank you agent Scully."

With that Scully walked once again back down to the basement office.

Since the report was finished and there was nothing else to do she walked over to Mulder's desk and looked for a report that didn't have red stripes on it.

She didn't see it on his desk so she started opening the drawers she could get to without coming into contact with Mulder. Sure enough it was in the bottom drawer, meaning he hadn't looked at it yet.

She walked back to her desk and began reading

On Tuesday May 22nd 1996,

Susan and Howard McDonald disappeared from there home in Tensiltown Louisiana. There 21 year old daughter reported them missing after there were gone for two days with no phone call or anything. Five days later Susan and Howard both were found in Whitefish Montana. They were badly beaten and bruised. Benjamin Bradley Harrison is the only suspect in the case. He lives with his wife in Bigfork Montana. They live in a closed gate community called "heaven on earth". No one had been able to get anything on him. He is clean and has no record of violence and neither does his wife.

We are looking for two agents who would not mind playing husband and wife and try to get close to these to people. You will pose as newlyweds in a new town and state. We would like you to become friends with neighbors and get your opinions on the Harrison's. Three weeks after the McDonalds murder another couple was found in the same condition and in the same place. Once again we have the same suspect. We want to catch the killer before anymore-innocent couples are found dead.

AD. Walter Skinner

Scully finished the report and wondered why they just don't hold him since he is the only one who has any connection with these two couples.

"So, Scully what do you think. You want to go play Husband and wife. Again?"

Scully jumped in surprise as Mulder's voice rang out in the office.

"Mulder don't scare me like that. Why would you want this case? Its not an x-file or anything?"

"Well because were the only two female male agents in the bureau that can pull off being married, and its gunna be a couple of weeks before were given an x-file."

Scully new that he was right, and they do get paid extra for going undercover.

"I will be right back, I need to go see Tim, I told him that I would tell him our decision in person."

Scully once again walked to the elevator and back to the third floor. She walked to the door marked MPU and walked in. as soon as she stepped foot in the office it became deadly quiet. She felt a little un-eased but she continued to walk until she found Tim.

"Excuse me Tim, me and Mulder have decided to help out on the case. What is it that we will be doing?"

"Oh, well we need you to pose as man and wife, but you will have to have roommates. Each house is meant to hold two couples in one house. So you and Mulder will be paired with two other agents."

"Tim, who are the other agents?" scully was a little unsure about this, not wanting to be paired with some agents that no one else wanted to work with.

"Um, well one of them is a regular agent, her name is Lynette Jones and the other is in DNA. Agent Pendrell."

Great, that's I'll I need is Pendrell living in the same house as me.

"That's fine. When do we start?"

"The agents will be in your office at about 9 AM. To talk to you about the arrangements."

With that scully once again walked towards the elevator and back down to the basement.

Why oh why do we have to put up with the new agents and the ones who have never been on a real case. It's not fair. Scully stamped her foot at the same time the door opened. She walked into the office to tell Mulder the news.
