Chapter 25th Castings
Mulder moved closer to check for any life signs.
Nodding his head at Doggett and Skinner. Indicating he was certainly dead. He says. "I don't get it." Moving inside the library for anything of interest.
"What you don't get Mulder? No doubt either Spender or the bounty hunter decided he was no longer valuable alive. Having defeated his purposes. Someone else will just take his place like always." Skinner said with a neutral tone.
Lifting his head from the pile of folders inside one of the library desks. There were nothing interesting for Mulder to take with them back to the Lone Gunmen's hiding place.
However for now. There job is the fact of leaving here and head back after the long drive. Otherwise Doggett's source would be able to leave the premises. He would no doubt contact the agent sometime later after making his escape to a safer zone.
After a moment Mulder had decided to call his partner, letting her know the fate of the chief elder.
Taking out his cell after leaving the house and outside of the fence.
A few minutes later. He dials her number.
"Scully."
"Scully, it's Mulder. We are on our way back. It would seem Jonas had out-lived his purposes. He's dead."
"That's just too bad." She says sarcastically. "Listen Fox, we made contact with the space craft. It's going to be here soon, hopefully now we will be able to convince the United Nations Security Council of these facts." She sounded unnerved.
"And the alien?" He wondered.
"He went back downstairs to sleep no-doubt. He was thrilled I believed I think having talked with his brother. Don't ask me now, I will explain it later. When all of you are back safe and sound."
He under stood her motives with saying those words.
"Okak. Later. What does Fisher have to say about all this?" Asking mischievously over the phone.
"I wouldn't know right now. He's going to be retiring for the evening after this. I will ask another time. But for yourself, Skinner and Doggett, just get back here safe and sound." She smiled taking a deep sigh.
