Part Three
Mulder looked intrigued.
"After the last test they did on me, I became really sick. They tried to get me well again, but nothing worked. I don't remember much about the past few days, but I did hear them say they had no choice but to return me."
Mulder looked at Amy, "Was Samantha still there when you were returned?"
Just as Amy looked up to answer, Scully came running through the door, "Mulder, we've got to go. A call just came through for an ambulance. someone found a young man's body by the lake."
Mulder jumped to his feet and turned to Amy, "I'll be back in a little while. Just stay in your room and listen to the doctor." He then turned to Scully, "You drive."
One thought ran repeatedly through Mulder's mind as he closed the passenger door. A young man's body. it's not Samantha.

Mulder snapped out of his trance as Scully pulled up along side the ambulance and stopped. They walked over, and stood behind the paramedics to wait for the verdict.
The EMT looked up, "He's dead."
Scully looked around, "Who called for the ambulance?"
There was no one around. The EMT looked at Scully, "You might be surprised how many anonymous calls we get. Probably someone out for a walk. they stumbled across the body and got scared. Most likely they went home and called us."
Mulder knew, in this case, that was very unlikely.
They followed the ambulance back to the hospital, and found the doctor waiting by the automatic doors with a couple of nurses. His eyes went cold as he saw the medics unload the heavy, black body bag. Scully walked up to the doctor, "If you don't mind, I'd like to do an autopsy on this boy."
He shook his head, "Not at all. Come with me. I'll show you where everything's at."
Scully's eyes followed Mulder as she thanked the doctor. He was headed straight for Amy's room. She turned back to the doctor and followed him down the hall. As they approached the morgue, Scully's cell phone began to ring. She excused herself and answered it, "Scully."
A small voice answered, "Agent Scully, it's Holly. I ran that background check you wanted."
Scully listened intently for a few minutes, then responded. "Okay, thanks Holly." She put her phone away and turned to the doctor, "I need to speak to my partner. I'll be back in a few minutes."
