Summary: 2 FBI agents go back in time to the Salem Witch Trials. Mulder and Scully have to find them.
Chapter 1
Robert Gate had no life. He just turned 24 last month. On his birthday, his coworkers had a little cake for him at the office and he received a few gifts. They decided to celebrate without him and most of the cake was already gone by the time he made it to work. His boss felt bad for him and gave him the day off early. He did not have anything to come home to. Just an empty apartment. His older sister could not see him because she had a life, with a job, a husband, and a child. He just received a card in the mail from her and a phone call later that night. His parents had already passed away, so he only had memories of his previous birthdays with them.
Robert had just started working as a FBI agent about four months ago. So far, he did not like it. It was not like how the TV had portrayed it. They had him doing all of the paper work and only once in a while they let him do other stuff. But finally, he had been assigned his first real case with Laura Roy. She was about five years older than Robert. She had been an FBI agent about four years and she was very sexy. All of the men back at the office had wanted her. Not only was she sexy, but she was smart and witty. Two things that often did not go together. So Robert was excited about the next few days because he was about to go forward on his first case.
Laura had enjoyed working for the FBI. She had always wanted to be a FBI agent since she was thirteen years old. Ever since then, she studied hard and graduated at the top of her class. She had the opportunity to go to any college she wanted. Since she lived in Austin, Texas, she decided to go to University of Texas. It was her first choice on the list because she was a huge Longhorn fan. She ended up with a 3.8, majoring in Criminal Justice.
Now she was with Robert Gate in a Washington D.C. airport, waiting to board the flight. In their attempt to try to make things more secure, the airport security did random searches on people. Both Robert and Laura hoped that they were not going to be the 'random' people.
They were going to Salem, Massachusetts to investigate a murder. The person that was murdered was the mayors' daughter and he wanted the best professionals sent over to investigate. Another team of agents were going to fly down the next day. Their names were Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.
Laura showed the person who was taking the boarding passes her ID and her ticket. When Robert when through, she made the comment, "Wow, haven't seen too many of you in a while." Laura smiled, but Robert just wanted to get on the plane.
"What's the hurry?" Laura asked.
"I was just getting claustrophobic. There were too many people in there and they were getting way too close for comfort." Robert replied.
Laura wondered if Robert would get claustrophobic on the plane.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Robert said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine on the plane."
They stepped into the plane and the captain greeted them. Laura led the way to their seats. After they got into the air, Robert tried to make conversation.
"So, do you know who Agents Moulder and Scully are?" He asked.
"It's Mulder. I heard they work in the basement. They work on some cases called 'The X-files' or something like that. Supernatural stuff. I'm not too sure why they were assigned to come with us." Laura said.
"Maybe this case has something paranormal about it." Robert suggested.
Laura grunted in response.
"What, you don't believe in that kind of stuff?" Robert asked.
"Well I do know that there are things that happen that we can not explain. And because of these things, some people immediately dismiss it as supernatural, weird, bizarre, or unearthly. But I think that it's just that we don't have the knowledge or technology to figure out what it is. Back in the 1500s, people believed that everything mysterious or unexplainable that happened was something that God or the devil did. Like for instance, a disease wiping out hundreds was Gods wrath on them. Now, some still believe God is a reason for why we have diseases and the sorts, but we have the knowledge and technology to figure out what it is and how to cure it-most of the time anyway." She stopped talking for a minute and looked at Robert. "Sorry, didn't mean to give you a lecture."
Robert smiled. "Well, it's nice to know another person's point of view."
"What do you think?" She asked.
"I don't usually spend much time thinking about that sort of stuff. Any kind of explanation is good for me." He replied. He looked at his watch.
"What time is it?" Laura asked.
"Five thirty." He said, trying to get comfortable in his seat. "Anything interesting out there?" He asked, referring to the window.
"Just a whole lot of clouds." She said, looking out the window.
"Not a whole lotta love?" He asked, trying to make a joke.
"Huh?"
"There is a song called 'Whole Lotta Love' by Led Zeppelin." He explained.
"Oh." She replied, seemingly uninterested.
They rode the rest of the flight in silence.
Near Salem, Massachusetts
7:05 PM
After getting a little something to eat, Robert and Laura decided to check into the police department to let them know that they got there. Then they would decide what to do from there. Finally they passed a sign that said "Salem 5 Miles". But just when they passed it, there was a loud noise. Then the sound of a flat tire.
"Son of a bitch." Robert cursed. He stopped the car off to the right on a dirt road. He got out of the car and looked at the tire. The tire had had blowout. He looked for a spare tire, but there was none. "What the hell?" He asked himself but gave no answer. He opened the door and told Laura that they were going to have to walk to Salem. He made sure the doors were locked before they headed out.
It was really hot outside, and both had started sweating after only three minutes of walking. But it was getting dark and it was getting hard to see. It looked like there was some fog up ahead.
"I don't understand why there wasn't a spare tire in there." Robert said angrily. "They are definitely going to hear it when we get back." They walked through the fog.
Laura could barely make out some buildings up ahead. The highway had ended somewhere in the fog and now they were just walking on a little trail. When they got closer, they saw some woman near one of the buildings looking at them. She had some weird outfit on.
"Hi." Laura said to her. "We were wondering if you could help us." She looked at them quizzically. She had on a black dress and a black hood for her head. Robert thought maybe she was a nun or something. "Oh, I'm sorry," Laura said. "I'm Laura Roy and this is Robert Gate." She reached into her pocket to get her ID.
"I'm Sarah Good." The woman announced.
