Disclaimer: Nothing that is X-Files related is mine, it is the wonderful creations of Chris Carter and Ten Thirteen Productions, anything outside that, is mine, and before you use my characters, please ask. Thank you, and thank you Carter for your wonderful characters to use.

***Author's Note: Please, before reading this, know what you are getting yourself into. I don't want to be held responsible for your problems, as I will warn you now, this will be very graphic and intense. It will cross the lines of normal writing and powerful writing. I will take you on a thrill ride that if you can take it, you won't soon forget. I hope to have you hooked, and that you will keep craving more and more, as I write chapter after chapter until I reach the climax and its all done. I promise you, you won't know what the real story is until then, it will keep you guessing. I don't like stories that are obvious right off. That is part of the reason I am writing this. That and I like the upper hand that I have, as a writer, that you can't jump to the end and see how it all ends. Be warned...if you are weak of stomach, this isn't recomended...faint of heart, same thing. If you like this type of story, read on, but be forthwarned...once you enter this, you won't want to leave. It'll keep you hooked and craving for the next chapter, which will prolly be about every two weeks. I don't want to be the writer that lets you know everything right away, but you will get little clues along the way that you will need to put together to solve this X-File. So go on and read...but don't do it with the lights out and alone...you may very seriously regret it...***



Chapter Twenty-Six

The Haunting Discovery



Washington City Morgue

Washington, D.C.

6:07 PM

Walter was still stuned. How could it be? Was he really a ghost? He didn't feel like one...but, sure enough, that was him on that table, DNA and finger prints don't lie...unless it was some kind of cover up, but he doubted that such a sweet, kind, caring woman like Madison could ever get involved with people that would try and cover up the truth...it was just too hard to swallow. Or was it? She was kinda...too attracted to him in away...and the sex was great, yeah, but he was still kinda....suspious of her. She always ran out so quick and showed up a few mintues late, but he always blew that off as minor problems. Like she was a very busy woman in forensics...but he was starting to seriously rethink this now, especially with the corpse on the table, the dim lights beating down on it...and part of the face missing...things looked bad...very bad.

Madison walked back in and shot Skinner a cute little smile and he shot one back, he didn't need her thinking that he knew what she was up to, if she was up to anything at all, it was all still just speculation...and nothing more, right now. He had nothing hard or damning just yet, but he would...within the next few days, even if he had to raid her house, he would have to have a warrent, but he could get one very fast, and he was still wondering where the fuck Brad Follmer was, he hadn't showed up since the other day...and that gun shot was quite odd...and the body...partially eaten...things were gettin very bizzare...Mulder comming back, Madison acting strange...something was going on and he was gonna get to the bottom of things...even if it ment risking his life....he was sick and tired of just being a loner and not taking sides, he had to this time...no more safe side bullshit. He was a player in the game and he wasn't gonna miss out on the action.

"I'm so sorry Hun, but it says it's you, and well...I've gone back and looked everything over, twice, to make sure and all, but still...says your dead...so why don't we talk..." she said, offering her hand. Skinner took a second to think, and regain his composure as he looked at her, making sure he didn't look too conspicious.

"Where are we goin Sugar Pie?" asked Skinner...looking again at the body that was "him". He didn't like this feeling he had...she was either in on it, or someone was making sure they couldn't be together...either way...things were gonna get ugly.

"Someplace special for my Special Man..." she said, giggling and tracing his jaw and reaching into her purse and gettin out her car keys. They held hands and walked out. The doors made a whooshing noise and Walter listened to the click of her shoes and his as they walked, but kept his eyes on her coat. He knew that if she was gonna shot him, she'd have a gun with her, which would make alot of sense, say that body is him, then kill him...only time could tell right now, as he figured...he just prayed that he was wrong, because he was really in love with her...and it would just break his heart to have to kill or lock her away for trying to kill him, but if he had to...he had to...

Celeste and Fox headed up the group and everyone stopped and got out as the reached the old power plant in the picture...Fox looked at it and was shocked at how old it looked, too old to be a lab, but he'd seen some weird shit in old places like this, so this was almost nothing to him. They all got out and sighed. Zoe and Langly, who'd just gotten back stayed behind in the offices, but everyone else followed Celeste and Fox. Dana walked up to the two of them, listening to the rocks crunch under her new heels, and she could feel Frohike's wandering eyes, but she didn't mind, after all, Mulder had left her for Celeste, wouldn't he be shocked if she left him for Frohike? Sick, but she would do it just to make him jealous. But that was not the game right now.

"This is it." said Celeste.

"Yeah." said Fox, looking around. He brought up his shades and put them on. The night sun set slowly, but the sun beat down as well...it was a beautiful blue/green/pink colour in the sky. This reminded Fox of the coal mine where he'd seen that UFO ever so long ago, but quickly shut out that memory, that was in West Virginia, this was Maryland.

"So, once agian for me, how do you know all this and why did you keep it from us?" asked Byers, lookin at the building. Frohike walked up beside Scully and crossed his arms.

"I don't know...I just didn't think it would be smart to piss off Doggett's brother, thats what...and if I did, who knows what would have happened...I was doing it for our own safety. Thank you very much, Mr. Byers." said Celeste, gettin mad that no one but Fox believed her, but she knew that he loved her and wouldn't stand for this too long. He looked at Byers, with beaming eyes that send the message that he better stop, or else there would be Hell to pay. And he did.

"Okay, follow me, I know the way better then any of you, and remember, don't touch anything, don't even breath unless we say too. Just playing, um...be ready." she said, heading up to the doors. She wasn't quite ready for what was waiting...but then again, who was?

Deep within the shadows, she waited. She didn't know why she was here, but she was in search of Celeste, the only one that she could trust, and had to have her stay. She didn't like what she had become, but then again, what kind of life was it eating people to survive? You have to kill and eat thier flesh so that yours dosn't...peel away...and become rotten...it was horrible...it was the worst thing in the world, and to also have the changes too....that was the worst. but she really didn't care either way, once she had Celeste, she could get what she needed and then things would be better, if Celeste was the one that she really wanted...and she was sure.

She just wanted to lead a normal life again, and not have to kill anyone. She wanted to settle down and have a family...like she always deamed off...but when she killed Brad she couldn't figure out what she was looking for, he didn't have it. She must have what he did. She knew that Tommy and that Man had it, but she also knew that Celeste had links, or she hoped she did, if not, she would use her to get the links and get on with her damn life. That was all she ever wanted...not this.

Celeste walked in first, to be greeted by millions of viles, test tubes, tanks and th9ings bubbling and working like a normal, active lab would have. This came to her as a shock...she thought this place was a shut down...nothing left, but a few broken things and cleaned out, but how wrong she was...someone was still workin in here...someone who would be commin back...very...very...soon...
