Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed or X-Files. I also don't own the idea behind the virus. That comes from the X-Files movie.
Superfan: Thanks for the review! And yes, the Cassandra Wentworth I mentioned in the previous chapter is the ancestor of the Halliwells. However, I hadn't even thought of the X-Files angle. If I can figure out a way to include that, I will, but there are no promises. You are a genius. You think of a lot of things that I haven't even considered. Not only that, I don't think I can thank you enough. You have been supportive from the beginning. Thank you!!! : )
Chapter 8 - The Lone Gunmen
After arriving back at the hotel they were staying at, the four agents decided to call the lone gunmen.
"Is there more to the legend than what is on the website?" Mulder asked his friends. He didn't even need to say what legend he was talking about. The lone gunmen knew, due to the recent events.
"The virus doesn't even really seem to be a real virus...more like a way to control people. That is probably why no one has figured out a way to stop it," Frohike said.
Then Langly took over. "One thing that is not mentioned on the website is the exact numbers we are dealing with when it comes to good versus evil. According to the legend, there should be three against three. Three conspirators behind the virus against three beings capable of stopping them."
"The legend doesn't specify who they are or where they're from...only that they exist. It says that they know who they are. The three conspirators are also said to know who their opponents are, while, according to this, the three on the side of good don't know who their opponents are. They do, however, know that they do have a rule to play in this before it is all over," Byers finished.
There was a long pause while the four agents, who had all heard everything since the phone was in speakerphone mode, so that all could join in on conversation as well as be able to hear everything.
After a while, Reyes broke the silence. "Could you do us a favor?"
"Sure," Langly said. "What is it?"
"Could you run a background check on Agent Jackman of the FBI?"
"...As well as the Halliwells?" Mulder added.
"Sure thing," Frohike replied. "We'll get back to you as soon as we know anything."
They hung up.
Phoebe was startled out of her thoughts when she heard the bell ring. She had been thinking about everything. She hadn't paid attention at all during her class that day. She had other, more important, things on her mind. She was thinking about the legend she found two days ago. She was also thinking about how Mulder seemed like he was suspicious of her.
She grabbed all of her stuff and headed for the door.
"Miss Halliwell, may I speak with you for a moment?" Spender said to Phoebe.
With that, Phoebe turned around and went over to where Spender was.
"You know about everything that has been going on lately...with the virus, that is?" he asked.
Not knowing what exactly he was hinting at, she replied, "Well, yeah, I've heard about it. We've been talking about it for the past week in this class, and it's all over the news."
"No, I mean, more than that. Do you know what the deal is with the virus? What it is? What is causing it?" He took notice when she seemed to tense up.
"I don't know what you're talking about," she lied, growing suspicious and worried.
"Oh, but I think you do. You are a Charmed One, are you not?"
Phoebe began to walk away. She didn't want to deal with this right now... She couldn't deal with this right now. Before she could get very far, Spender grabbed her. He forced her to look up at him.
Lucky for Phoebe, the minute he grabbed her, she received the familiar jolt. She closed her eyes.
Three men were standing in an alleyway.
One was younger with brown hair.
Another one appeared to be a demon.
The third was none other than Spender.
The scene changed to the day before, when Spender infected her teacher.
Spender went over to the man and forced the man to look into his eyes,
which had gone black.
The man's eyes, too, slowly turned black.
The scene changed again.
There was a clearing in Golden Gate Park.
There was a crowd of people, all of which were infected.
In the center of the crowd were the three conspirators.
By them were three girls.
Prue, Piper, and Phoebe.
They were infected with the virus.
As soon as her vision ended, Phoebe struggled away from Spender and ran out the door.
