"I heard once, that this guy dug up a grave and the man inside was still alive, but half decayed"
"Langly, for the last time Shut up!" Skinner and Frohike yelled in unison
"What's the matter Skinman don't like playing with the dead"
"Well if you call digging a hole, the size of the grand canon playing, then no!"
"Hey Byers, hows everything going up there?" Frohike said through the walkie talkie
"Everything seems clear up hear, no movement for the past 4 hours, hey guys, tell me again why we're doing this,"
"Mulder and Scully need us"
"But isn't this illegal in the 52 states of America?" Came back the voice
"Only if you get caught" Frohike laughed "And that's why you're up there and where down here" they had been digging for some time now, when Suddenly Frohike hit something hard
"Hey I think I got it" They all moved to where Frohike was, Skinner bent down and brushed some dirt with his hand to find a wooden surface, they all began to scrap the dirt from around the coffin until all the lid was uncovered
"Ok this is it" Skinner, Langly and Frohike positioned them selves around the coffin and lifted the lid
"Aghh, God!" The Smell was putrid
"I think I'm going to be sick" Langly turned away
"After 4 hours we finally found him" Frohike sighed
"It's not him" Skinner said
"What?"
"It's not him, it's not decayed enough, he's been dead longer that this, this one looks fresh, plus it's a women's body"
"So what are you saying? This is the wrong grave" Frohike asked,
"Langly, what does the map say" Langly pulled out the graveyard map
"It says here, it should be on the east side and this is the spot" Frohike leaned across
"You idiot! The maps upside down," Frohike grabbed the map and turned it the right way up "The body is on the west side" he pointed across the graveyard "4 hours digging, 4 hours!, I'm going to…"
"Guys!" Skinner closed the lid "Come on, lets cover this coffin up" They started to throw dirt around the coffin when suddenly Byers piped up
"Hey Guys, a car just pulled up, I'll go check it out"
"Tell us if we need lights out, ok"
"Will do" Byers snuck behind a large tree to get a better view, he caught his breath "Lights off, Lights off, it's a cop" he whispered franticly through the radio, Skinner, Langly and Frohike scrambled for the torches,
"Quick, turn it off!"
"I'm trying" Langlys hands fiddled with the torch, but couldn't turn it off "I can't its jammed" Frohike Snatched the torch from Langly and fiddled with the button but couldn't get it, In a split second Skinner grabbed the torch and jammed it light first into the dirt
They all sat quietly in the chest high hole, when they saw a light flash across the hole and footsteps getting closer, Skinner gritted his teeth and held his breath, the footsteps grew closer until the light shone down the hole
"Well, well what do we have here a couple of…" CLONK! All of a sudden the cop collapsed on the ground,
"What the?" Skinner, Langly and Frohike stood up slowly to see Byers with a Shovel in his hands
"I didn't think you had it in you, Byers"
"I didn't think I did either" Byers was shaking
"Alright, lets get this body covered before he wakes up" Skinner started to heave more dirt on it, when
"Freeze, drop the shovel and put your hands in the air, Now!" Byers dropped the Shovel and placed his hands above his head, "The rest of you out of the hole, move it!" they all started to climb out of the hole then glanced up to see a second cop, he pull a radio out of his pocket
"This is Officer Myers requesting back up at the south side cemetery"
"we'll send back up immediatly" he placed the radio back in his pocket
"So much for being the look out Byers" Langly grumbled,
"I only saw one cop"
---------------------
"For the last time I'm innocent" Byers rattled the bars with his hands
"Give it up Byers, there not coming" Frohike slumped onto the floor
"You're the ones who dragged me down there in the first place, if it hadn't been for you guys I wouldn't be here"
"You're the one who nailed the copper with the shovel"
"Yeah Byers you..."
"Will you all just shut up!" they all jump at Skinners toned "you haven't Shut up since we got here" they all sat quietly until Byers couldn't take it any more
"LET ME OUT!" he shook the bars again, this time a cop walked up to the cell
"Walter Skinner?" Skinner stood up
"Yes that's me"
"You're free to go," the cop unlocked the cell and let skinner out
"Hey what about us?" the gunmen said in unison, they didn't get an answer the cop just walked away
"Don't worry, I'll be back to get you out" Skinner followed the officer
---------------------------------------------------------
Sometime later
"You're free to go" the three gunmen piled out of the cell and met Skinner at the front desk
"What happened Skinman? You took forever; Byers nearly took out the guard when they delivered breakfast"
"I've been suspended until further notice" Skinner said signing the release papers
"Damn it, now how are we supposed to find Mulder and Scully?" Langly was getting tired
"How about we go back to our place and make new plans" Byers suggested,
"No I have a better idea" Skinner said as they walked out of the station, they got in the car and started to drive
"Where are we going?" Frohike asked
"South Side Cemetery"
--------------------------------------
"I can't believe we are doing this again" Byers complained as they started a new hole on the west side of the cemetery
"This better be the right spot" Frohike warned
"Hey Skinman, how come lab boy gets to be the look out?" Langly was sore before he even started
"Because last time we wound up in jail" Skinner dove the shovel into the dirt before he placed the walkie talkie to his mouth
"Agent Pendrell, everything clear?"
"Yes Sir, As much as I want to help Agent Mulder and Scully are you sure were doing the right thing?" came back the voice
"Yes, now tell us if anyone comes"
"Yes sir" a fair few hours later they finally reached the coffin
"Here goes nothing" The four of them heaved the lid open, the coffin was empty
"I knew it!" Skinner exclaimed "Pfasters alive" Agent Pendrell leaned over the top of the hole
"Now what do we do?" he said
"One of you Boys know how to use a computer" The three gunmen nodded,
"I can hack into anything, what have you got in mind" Langly crossed his arms
"Good, I've got an idea"
