Hey guys! I'm back with another chapter of Rated X! Guys just know this is a brand new experience for me. I'm farthest from an expert of the X-Files. I don't want to do anything stupid, so please help me along without spoiling anything. Tell me if something is stupid, and I need to rewrite it because it messes with something down the road. ONLY if it messes with something down the road. I'm not rewriting something because someone thought it was stupid. I wouldn't have anything if I did that. Anyways, on with the story!
Rated X: Pilot Part 2
We flew into Oregon safely and with no problems thankfully. If this is going to be a regular thing, at least I'm not afraid of flying on airplanes. We got the car the FBI got for us and started driving into Bellefleur, Oregon. Scully and I was reading some of the files, while Mulder was driving.
"You didn't mention yesterday this case has already been investigated." Scully said looking up from the files.
"Yeah, the FBI got involved after the first three deaths when local authorities failed to turn up any evidence. Our boys came out here, spent a week, enjoyed the local salmon which, with a little lemon twist, is just to die for, if you'll pardon the expression. Without explanation, they were called back in. The case was reclassified and buried in the X-Files, till I dug it up last week." Mulder said with sunflower seeds in his mouth.
"And you found something they didn't." I said.
"Mmm." I took that as a yes.
"The autopsy reports of the first three victims, show no unidentified marks or tissue samples, but those reports were signed by a different medical examiner than the latest victim." Scully said.
"Well…I'll let you know when we get past the easy part." Mulder said. Scully just laughed.
"Is the medical examiner a suspect?" She asked still laughing.
"We don't know that until we do a little grave digging. I've arranged to exhume one of the other victims' bodies to see if we can get a tissue sample to match the girl's. You're not squeamish about that kind of thing, are ya girls?" I shook my head. I've watched enough gory TV shows. I'm sure I could do this.
"I don't know. I've never had the pleasure." Scully said. Just then the radio started going crazy. Then a high pitched screeching noise came through. It was so bad, me and Scully had to cover our ears, but Mulder just looked up at the sky. "What's going on?" Mulder pulled the car over and turned it off. We got out and Mulder went into the trunk. He grabbed a can of pink spray paint and went over to the spot when our car started going crazy. He painted a giant x on the ground and put the can back into the trunk. "What the hell was that about?"
"Oh, you know…probably nothing." Okay I don't know much about the show, but this has to mean something. I mean, I've watched too much TV to think this was just a coincidence. We got back into the car and drove to the cemetary, where there were people and a crane digging up a grave. I'm going to guess that's probably our grave that we're trying to see the body. When we started walking over to where it was, a couple of men come up to us.
"Mister Mulder, Ms. Foster, John Truitt, County Coroner's Office." He said holding out his hand to shake. I didn't have a clue about who this guy was, but he somehow knew my name.
"Yeah, hi." Mulder said shaking hands with the guy. I then shook his hand as well. "This is Agent Scully." Mulder said pointing towards Scully.
"Hi." Scully shakes Truitt's hand as well.
"We're ready to go." Truitt said.
"Oh great." Mulder said clapping his hands together.
"Okay, Vinnie!" Truitt yelled towards the guys digging up the grave. The crane starts up as we started walking up the hill to the grave.
"Were you able to arrange for a, uh…an examination facility?" Mulder asked.
"I think we got something for you…" Just then I saw a truck pull up down the hill.
"Excuse me!" A man yelled getting out of the truck.
"Ah…" Mulder says being aphrenrsive. We turn to look at the man who came out of the truck.
"Excuse me!" He says angrily as he starts coming towards us, but his daughter started getting out. He moved her back into the truck. "No. Please stay in the car…let me handle this. I just want to talk to them." He walked back to us. "I just don't know who you people think you are. You just think you can come up here, and do whatever you damn well please, don't you?"
"I'm sorry, you are…" I started.
"I'm Doctor Jay Nemman. I'm county medical examiner." He said proudly.
"Surely, you must have been informed of our intentions to come up here." Mulder said.
"No, uh, no. We've been away." He said slightly nervously.
"Oh, oh. Well, that answers the question that we had. Why you hadn't done the autopsy on Karen Swenson. You're aware of the tissue sample that was taken from the girl's body." Mulder said.
"Wha…wha…what is the insinuation here? Are you saying that I missed something in those other kids' exams?" He asked. He's definitely hiding something.
"We're not insinuation anything, sir." Scully said crossing her arms.
"Wait a minute." Jay said. We turned around but Jay grabbed Mulder's arm making him turn back around. "Wait a minute, see, well I think you are, and if you're making an accusation, then you better have something to back it up." He said. His daughter got out of the car.
"Daddy, please, let's just go home." She said obviously annoyed by her dad. I would be too if I was her. Jay waved her off though. "Let's go home, please." She said. Jay glared at Mulder one last time and got back in his car and drove off.
"Guy obviously needed a longer vacation." Mulder said under his breath. I nodded my head. That guy is obviously suspicious. He's currently at the top of my suspect list. We headed back up the hill finally. We got to the gravesite as the crane started to dig up the grave we needed to get into. This feels really weird, but I should be used to this considering they did this all the time on Supernatural. Scully got the case file out and started basically yelling out the information in the file we have.
"Ray Soames was the third victim. After graduating high school, he spent time in a state mental hospital treated for post-adolescent schizophrenia." She said.
"Soames actually confessed to the first two murders. He pleaded to be locked up, but he couldn't produce any evidence that he committed the crimes. Did you happen to read the cause of death?" I said. I don't understand why a guy would admit to murder if he didn't do it.
"Exposure. His body was found in the woods after escaping the hospital." Scully said.
"Missing for only seven hours in July. How does a twenty-year-old boy die of exposure on a warm summers night in Oregon, Kate? Doctor Scully?" Mulder asked.
"I got it." A worker yelled from beside the grave. Two guys pulled the coffin out of the grave, but then one of the straps on the harness they were using broke and the coffin started rolling down the hill. "Look out!" The man exclaimed. We run to the coffin when it finally stops rolling. The coffin had opened when it took a tumble. Mulder and I had gone to try and open it, but Truitt stopped us.
"This isn't official procedure." He said.
"Really?" Mulder asked as we went and opened it anyways. There was a body in the coffin, but it didn't look normal. It had really long arms and the body just looked way too thin. Everyone gasped when they saw the body. Me and Mulder stood and turned to Scully, who was kneeling. "It's probably a safe bet Ray Soames never made the varsity basketball team. Mulder turned to Truitt. "Seal this up, right now! Nobody sees or touches this. Nobody!" Truitt slammed the lid shut on the coffin.
