Ok everyone sorry for the long wait here's the next chapter and please don't forget to write me lots of comments and feedback!!

Route 616- 2 hours outside of Maple Grove, South Carolina

The FBI made the 4 agents share the same car to cut back on car expenses, especially gas. Mulder and Booth each took turns driving while Scully and Brennan sat in the back either discussing cases or sleeping. While the girls were asleep though, Booth was stuck listening to Mulder and hearing all about his x-files cases. Some of those cases which Booth found very disturbing and thanked god that Parker wasn't there to listen. Once they arrived at Maple Grove the agents found a basic dead town. Very few people were out and almost no one was on the streets.

"Well I guess Maple Grove is a really hot and hoppin' place isn't it?" Booth said sarcastically.

Scully spoke up, "I suggest we find the local sheriff and talk to him first."

The SUV pulled up in front of a small police office and parked behind the sheriff's cruiser. The agents and Dr. Brennan went inside the building only to be greeted by the Maple Grove Head Sheriff.

"Good afternoon folks, I'm Sheriff Lance Roberts. I got the call a few hours ago that you'd be coming. So how can I help?"

"Excuse me sheriff, can you tell me exactly why Maple Grove looks like a ghost town?" Mulder asked.

"I reckon it's cause of these here murders. Dead kids have been poppin up all over the place. The corner is practically having a field day in his office with all the bodies. Anyway the locals and the kids are afraid to come out of their homes. I only see the town folk at work, school, and church."

"Sheriff Roberts the Jeffersonian Institute has been examining the body of the most recent murder, Amber Scott and the offices have been having trouble with her medical records do you know anything about that?" Booth says has he watches the sheriff type something on his computer.

The sheriff stops for a moment and takes a deep breath before giving Booth an answer. "Amber Scott like all of the kids who have been found dead here, claimed to have been abducted by aliens…..I know it's sound crazy but I've seen things here myself. But if you really want answers why don't you go talk to "General Denies a Lot" about 20mins up the road."

Brennan rolling her eyes, asks, "Who is 'General Denies a Lot'?"

"I was referring to General Campbell. The military has some kind of a compound or base just outside of town and ever since this mess with the aliens started up, they've been doing their best to try and keep the whole thing hush hush. I think they know the answers to this whole thing and they ain't gonna tell no one about this anytime soon. You wouldn't believe the strings I had to pull just to get in touch with you guys back at DC."

"I can assure you sir whatever the military is trying to cover up they won't get away with it this time," Mulder tells the sheriff.

Outside of the sheriff's department sat a man in a black car who is watching the agents. He picks up his cell phone and dials a secret a phone number to get in touch with a certain person back in DC. The man he is calling is a fellow by the name of Cigarette Smoking Man, the answer man to all of the government's conspiracies and secrets.

"Sir, it's Kutskoff," said the man in the car.

"Yes Agent Kutskoff, what it is?" said CSM.

"I'm parked just outside the Maple Grove Police Department. I'm keeping a close eye on Mulder and Scully. Sir this time there are two additional agents with them."

CSM asks, "Who?"

"Agent Seeley Booth and Dr. Temperance Brennan. I learned that the case was originally assigned to them and Mulder and Scully were assigned to help them with the case. Should I start adjusting our plans?"

"No, Agent Booth and Dr. Brennan pose as no threat to us. They do not even know half as much as Mulder and Scully do. If things stay that way, then we'll only have half the mess to clean up."

"Sir what if they discover the truth about the kids I mean?"

"They won't I've contacted the men at the base and told them to stay alert and some federal agents may start snooping around. Trust me they know what to do."

"What are my orders then?"

"Continue monitoring the agents and keep me informed. If it comes to the points were the agents get too close…….. Pauses for a moment to inhale and exhale from his cigarette… Then we simply take them out."

With that, CSM hangs up and Agent Kutskoff continues watching the agents. Agent Kutskoff is a trained officer from the government who was assigned by CSM to keep a close watch on Mulder and his company. Kutskoff knew that if Mulder learned the truth about what was being done to the kids he could risk exposing the military and all it's secrets about the existence of extra-terrestrial life forms. CSM instructed him earlier to take whatever precautions were necessary to keep the information safe. However Kutskoff believed that until the agents proved to be a threat to the situation his tactics were not really necessary.
