Thank you Lady Kes

Thanks for the reviews

The morgue

The CSIs along with the FBI agents quickly and quietly brought the bodies into the morgue. Grissom felt like he was stuck in an episode of Mission: Impossible. They had to keep an eye out for people and make sure the coast was clear before proceeding.Several times they had to duck behind cars so they weren't seen. Grissom was physically and mentally exhausted by the time the bodies were safely in the morgue and on the autopsy tables.

"Dr. Robbins, I'd like you to meet Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully," Grissom introduced them.

"Nice to meet you," Robbins said, shaking their hands. "Gil, you didn't tell me how lovely Agent Scully is."

"Sorry, Doc. I didn't think you'd care."

"It would have been nice to know I'd have a beautiful lady here doing autopsies. I would have cleaned up a little."

"You see a beautiful lady every day," Grissom said, pointing towards Sara, "and you never clean up for her."

"Yeah, Doc. What's that all about?" Sara teased.

"I'm sorry, Sara. Seeing you every day, I take your beauty for granted."

"It's okay. You're forgiven," she said, while patting his shoulder.

"I don't mean to sound rude, Doc. But can we get down to business here?" Grissom asked.

"Sure thing. It's only a matter of time before David comes in with a body," Robbins stated. Turning to Scully he asked, "Would you prefer I assist you or would you rather double team it and examine both bodies at once?"

"It would probably be a better idea to do both at once if you don't mind," Scully responded.

"Not a problem, Agent Scully. Let's get down to it then."

Dr. Robbins gave Scully a quick tour of where everything was. They gathered the instruments they would need to perform a thorough autopsy and each quietly set about their tasks.

Grissom and Sara watched Robbins as he unzipped the body bag. They both wanted to see the look on his face. Astonished would have been the best word to describe his expression when he finally looked at the corpse. Grissom and Sara shared an amused smile.

Robbins looked at the three observing him and Scully. He didn't like people looking over his shoulder as he worked, so he felt the need to shoo them out of the room. "You three should probably wait outside. This will go a lot quicker without an audience and somebody should probably stand guard at the door to make sure no one comes in."

The CSIs knew not to argue with the coroner, so they left the room with Mulder right behind them.

Grissom and Sara took their guard positions by the door. Sara leaned against the wall to the right of the door, while Grissom occupied the space to the left. Mulder began slowly pacing back and forth in front of the door.

After what seemed like hours of waiting, Mulder asked, "How long do you think this is gonna take?"

"As long as it takes," Grissom answered. He was about to go in and check on the progress when his phone rang. "Grissom."

"Grissom, where are you? Greg and I are back from our B&E. No one around here seems to have a clue as to where you and Sara are," Catherine's frustrated voice came through.

"Did you gather any evidence at the scene?"

"Yeah."

"Well, start processing it. Sara and I are busy. We'll be around in a little while. Don't let Greg wander too far. We may need him to run a few tests for us."

Catherine let out a frustrated sigh. "Okay, I'll see you later."

Grissom ended the call and put his phone away. He cast a quick glance at Mulder then turned to Sara saying, "I'm gonna go in and see what kind of progress they're making in there."

Mulder and Sara both nodded and Grissom entered the room.

"How's it going, Doc?"

"I am fascinated. I have never seen anything quite like this. It's mind blowing, really." His fascination was evident in his voice.

"What about you, Agent Scully?" Grissom asked the FBI agent.

"From what I can tell these bodies seem to be real. I cannot believe this. We may finally have proof—real alien bodies," Scully said with a look of amazement on her face. "I've taken a few samples that I'll need to run tests on, but I think they'll only prove that these bodies aren't human."

The scientist in Grissom was starting to become curiously excited. Sara was right. This is a great scientific discovery, he thought. "Do you agree with Agent Scully, Doc?"

"I'm pretty damn sure this isn't a human body," he said.

"Well, when you're done here, Agent Scully, I'll take you to the lab so you can run those tests." Grissom said.

"I'd say we're done here. We've pretty much seen all we need to see," she said. "We should wrap these bodies up and get them out of here before we do anything else. I have no idea what we're going to do with them, but we can't keep them here."

"All right, I'll go get Sara and Agent Mulder," Grissom said.

Grissom walked out the door and immediately returned with the pair. Grissom helped Scully wrap one body, while Sara assisted Dr. Robbins with the other. Mulder kept an eye on the door.

Scully stuffed the samples in her pocket and thanked Dr. Robbins. Sara checked to make sure they would not be seen before they moved the bodies back to the truck. Returning the corpses to the truck was a much easier task than moving them to the morgue had been. There were no people around like there had been earlier. So they placed the bodies in the truck and quickly locked it up. Once everything was safe and secure, the four let out a collective sigh of relief.

"So, now what?" Sara asked.

"Agent Scully needs to run some tests. She'll have to use Greg's lab. Sara…"

"Yeah?"

"Maybe you should go charm Greg. Tell him we need his help and that it needs to be a secret. If he asks questions, I guess you can tell him some part of what we're doing…if you think he can keep a secret."

"Can we trust this Greg guy?" Mulder asked.

"Sure we can," Sara answered.

"He has a crush on Sara, so if she asks home…or threatens him, I'm pretty sure he'll keep quiet. If that doesn't work I could always threaten to fire him," Grissom said, his lips twisting up during the last sentence.

"All right, I'll go find Greg and we'll meet you in your office," Sara said to Grissom.

He nodded. "Okay."

They entered the building and went their separate ways. Sara went in search of Greg, while the FBI agents and Grissom headed to his office.
