Sorry about the spelling errors in the last chapter, I'm kinda sick and I think it's affecting my brain
Agents Doggett and Reyes arrived in Massachusetts early the next afternoon. They checked into the same hotel that Mulder and Scully were staying in. As soon as they settled into there room, all of the agents met up at the Cromwell house. Doggett and Reyes needed to be caught up on all of the information.
"This is the big bad house you were talkin about?" Doggett asked with his usual doubting Thomas tone to his voice.
"This reminds me of the house I grew up in." Reyes added
"Yeah well you can be sure it's nothing like that house. Scully and I checked the place out yesterday and found some pretty strange stuff." Mulder led them all through the front door. The house still looked calm and safe. Mulder wasted no time going upstairs. He led them directly to the secret door he had found the day before. When they reached the closet, both he and Scully were surprised.
"Well, this is where the door was. Looks like somebody is trying to cover up this dirty little secret." The spot where he had found the door was now just a solid wall.
"Or something." Reyes added as she walked over to the wall. She examined it for only a moment before kicking the wall in with all of her strength.
"Jackpot." Scully said with a sarcastic tone. Reyes had kicked open the exact spot where the door had been. They could all now see the stairway. With a little help from Doggett and Mulder the door was back. Mulder again led everyone down the small, narrow staircase.
"Watch your step." He yelled up to the top. He could hear John swearing under his breath after he had slipped.
"The table is in the center of the room. It looked like it may have been used for some sort of sacrificial practice." Scully informed the group as she shined her flashlight on to the table. Reyes walked over to the table cautiously. The room they were in was just down right spooky.
"The pentagram in the middle definitely suggests some sort of witchcraft going on down here." Monica examined the table further, looking at the markings and stains on the table.
"These are definitely blood stains on the table." She pointed to several blotches on the wooden table. Suddenly, something fell from the ceiling, almost hitting her right in the head. She fell to the floor trying to avoid contact with the piece of rock.
"Dana, watch out!" She yelled from the floor. A piece of rock fell from the ceiling right above Dana. Mulder saw this and pushed her out of the way. They both landed with a loud thump on the ground.
"Let's get the hell out of here." Doggett said nervously. He grabbed Reyes hand and led her to the stairs. Mulder and Scully followed quickly behind them. All four of the agents ran directly out of the house.
"Whatever inhabits that house does not want anything to do with us." Reyes said as she brushed off the dirt on her shirt.
"You're telling me." Scully added as she looked down at the area below her neck. She moved the crucifix necklace aside, only to see that an imprint of it had been burnt into her.
"Oh my God, Dana, are you okay? Reyes asked concerned.
"Yeah, I felt a burning sensation there right before the first rock fell." She rubbed the burnt area with her fingers. It wasn't as bad as it looked.
"It's pretty obvious to me that anyone involved in this matter is in danger. Megan gets out of the hospital this afternoon. I'm going to the hospital right now to see if anything else has happened to her." Mulder ran off to his rental car, leaving to other agents behind. They would take Doggett's car.
Agent Mulder did exactly what he said he would and went directly to the hospital to pick Megan up. She was already outside waiting for a taxi.
"Call the company back, I'll bring you home." Megan could tell by the urgency in his voice that something was wrong.
"What's going on Agent Mulder?" She was obviously scared. She had good reason to be.
"I'll bring you to your apartment and you can get what you need. After that I am checking you into the motel the other Agents and I are staying in. I think it's our safest option." Megan did not try to argue with him. Safety was what she was looking for.
Mulder drove quickly to her apartment, it was only about ten minutes away from the hospital. As they approached her apartment everything looked like it was okay. When they opened the door it was a whole different story.
"What the hell happened?" Megan asked herself as she walked in the front door. All of her belonging had been thrown to the middle of the living room, even the furniture.
"It looks like someone came looking for me." She looked back at Mulder in desperation, but he was paying attention to something on her wall. It was the same substance he had found in the hospital room.
"It looks like you've been slimed."
