The X-files II:
The Future is Here
Act I: Scene II
8:58am March 26, 2004 Elk Lake, Oregon
"As far as I can tell this man died of an explosion." said the coroner to Monica and John as he looked over some notes "See here..." he pointed to a massive bloody hole in the large man's abdomen, "Burns... I believe that he fell into the crater in his yard and some sort of explosion took out this area."
"But that does make sense..." Monica said as she examined it closer "It looks like something was inside this man. The burns look totally unrelated to the hole in his stomach... Look at it, it was something massive."
"Monica can I talk to you?" John said as he pulled her to the side. "Mulder and Scully investigated a case where a Native American man was supposed to have killed a man in his home by doing something similar to this."
"Yes, but what the relation here John?" Monica said.
"Well Mulder suspected that it wasn't the act of a Native American man, or anything human. He speculated that it was in fact an alien that had grown inside the man. They also speculated that the fast development was brought on by heat. Mulder followed this supposed alien to the heating core of a air-conditioning company nearby."
"Wow John I didn't expect that you'd believe something like that. I know we've seen a lot since we took over in the X-files but that's going way out there."
"Well if it's not that, it's someone trying to make it look like it. But for some strange reason it just makes since."
Monica looked at him strangely as she took out her cell phone that had rung. "What? Who is this? Wait I have a bad connection... hello?"
"Agent Reyes--*static* --lp get-- *static* --highway *static* Mul—Scu— *line goes dead*"
"Who was that?" John asked.
"I'm not sure but I think it may have been Mulder...I think they're in trouble."
"What did they say?!" John asked urgently.
"My cell phone isn't getting good reception out here but there somewhere on the highway."
"Well the only major highway on this side of the state is interstate 5."
"Sorry for eavesdropping but I couldn't help but hear you guys talking. There's was a major accident on interstate 5 early this morning. The police just made it out there an hour ago according to the radio."
"What do you mean? What would take the authorities so long to make it to a major accident?!" Monica said surprised.
"You guys haven't heard? There's been a huge out-break in all the major cities along that highway!" said the coroner.
"What do you mean an out-break?!" John asked.
"I'm not sure... that's why I have to leave. I've just been called in to Portland, they have over four hundred dead in a hospital there."
"What? Four hundred!" Monica and John said in unison.
But he didn't say anymore and he left. John and Monica left the morgue and went out to the car. They sped off down the road towards interstate 5.

"Come on we need a teem over here!" Mulder could hear an EMC say.
He tried to lift his head to look outside the crumpled car. After nearly four hours help had come. "Help!" Mulder struggled to yell but his head hurt like hell.
"Scully?" Mulder said.
The car was upside down in a wet ditch and Scully was face down beside him blood stained her fiery orange hair. But she didn't move when Mulder spoke.
"We need help here! Help!" Mulder screamed as he struggled to move closer to Scully, "Scully? Scully?"
A tear fell down his cheek as he spotted her necklace hanging from a scrap of metal next to what was left of the window. A drop of blood drips from the cross like a tear for an angel shot down.
