Part Five
Scully was there to meet Mulder when he stepped off the elevator. She pulled him into the corner of the hall and told him what happened.
"Scully, we've seen this before."
"We have?" Her tone was sarcastic.
"Okay, fine, I've seen this before."
"Where, Mulder?"
"A lot of places. do you remember Kurt Crawford?"
Scully thinks a minute. "Crawford?"
Mulder tries to make her remember. "He worked with the MUFON group. We met him when we investigated the death of its members."
"When I found out I have cancer. I remember him. What about him?"
"Kurt Crawford was. is an alien-human hybrid. And there are a lot more just like him. All created with the ovum from the women in the MUFON group."
Scully was certain there were a lot of things Mulder didn't tell her about her time in the hospital. Things he had uncovered. Things he kept to himself for her benefit, and she was sure this was one of them. She didn't want to believe him, but she had no rational explanation for what she saw in the morgue.
"What does this mean, Mulder?"
"Someone has been doing tests on these people. The government, extraterrestrials. maybe both."
"For what purpose?"
"I don't know."
Their conversation was interrupted by a loud crash, coming from the morgue. They both took off running in the direction of the noise.

Mulder slowly opened the door with his gun drawn. He looked around, and saw the doctor lying facedown on the floor. He was bleeding slightly from head.
Then, Scully spoke, "Mulder. the body. It's gone."
"So what else is new?"
Mulder noticed the door on the other side of the morgue, and quickly exited the room, gun in hand.
Scully leaned over to check on the doctor. He would be okay. He took a minor blow to the head. He would need a couple of stitches, but he was conscious. She ran to the front desk to get a nurse. While the nurse was helping the doctor into a wheelchair, she mentioned to Scully that several faxes came through for her. Scully thanked her and went to the front desk again to get the faxed information.

Mulder didn't find anything. He checked all the rooms and storage closets near the morgue, but the young man's body was gone. He was walking back to find Scully when he saw her at the front desk.
"What's up."
"Mulder, she's telling the truth. She is Amy Conway. but it doesn't make since. She looks too young."
"Well, Scully. there is a theory. It's a physics theory, actually. If a person where to travel around the earth in a rocket near the speed of light for ten years, when he came back, he would only have aged one year."
"I know that theory, Mulder. I thought I was supposed to be the scientific one?"
"So, you believe all this?"
"I'm running out of explanations, Mulder. and this all starting to make sense, God help me."
"Maybe your old buddy from the academy was right."
Scully gave him a puzzled look.
"You're becoming Mrs. Spooky."
"Mulder. shut up."
They both laughed for a moment, then Scully remembered the body.
"Mulder, you didn't find the body?"
"No, I didn't find it."
"I don't get it. Who would have taken it?"
"I don't think anyone took him. I think he got up and walked out."
"He's dead, Mulder."
"He's a hybrid, Scully. There's only one way to kill this guy. stab him at the base of the neck."
"There were no wounds anywhere on his body. but he didn't have a pulse."
"I don't know how to explain that, Scully. Come on, let's go check on Amy."
