"So what is it killing for if it's not using the bodies to replicate itself?" Chief Martinez asked Scully, Scully sighed in frustration as she pulled off her surgical mask & gloves. "That I don't know yet." She said as she dumped the bloody garments grumpily into the trash can by the door just as Mulder walked in. "I haven't found the cause of why it is killing." She said as he opened his mouth to ask. "Scully if I didn't know better I'd say that you could read my mind." Mulder said banteringly as he followed her out of the autopsy room. "Actually that's what Chief Martinez asked just before you came in." Scully replied as they headed to their car.
Scully awoke to a rapping on the door of her hotel at three thirty in the morning; she looked through the peep hole (though she often wondered why she even bothered to do so, Mulder was the only person who had the stones to bother her at this hour). "Two more bodies have been found, same wounds around the neck." Mulder said, a smile crossing his face as he paused to look Scully over in her baby blue cloud-patterned pajamas. "Cute." He said as a boyish grin widened, she promptly pulled her robe around her.
"Well, I'd like to see what you wear to bed." She countered as she crossed her arms across her chest; Mulder leaned intimately close to her. "Really?" He said dryly, she returned his advance with one of her famous exasperated looks. "I'll be ready in fifteen minutes." She said as she closed the door on him, Mulder turned to wait in the car, a boyish smile still populating his face.
"Tessa Villarreal & Jose Mendoza, they were found dead on the other side of the beach by a couple of interlopers a few hours ago." Chief Martinez told Mulder & Scully upon their arrival.
"Same wounds, no other sign of physical trauma, I just don't see what this thing is after & until I know we are powerless to stop it." Scully said frustratingly after she autopsied the two bodies, Mulder rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Then I guess we have a creature to catch."
