The X-files II:
The Future is Here
Act I: Scene III

NOTE: I've been getting a lot of so-called "corrections" in my reviews that Scully has blue eyes. I'm not being a sore loser here but you're WRONG! At times her eyes look blue but they are green. I spent HOURS on the internet answering the question by looking at pictures. Finally I found my OFFICIAL GUIDE TO THE X-FILES, on page 264 it says EYES: GREEN!!!! If you don't believe me read the book it's "The Truth is Out There: the Official Guide to the X-files Volume 1." by Brain Lowry, HarperCollins Publishers copyright 1995.

Sorry....now we can continue

"Where am I?" Mulder asked dazedly as he awoke.

"Your in a private clinic in outside of Roseburg, Oregon." Monica said as John tried to hold him down when he tried to sit up.

"Where's Scully?" he said before painfully grabbing his head. "What happened?"

"You were in an accident... we found you just in time before the cops found you." Monica continued.

"But where's Scully? Is she okay? The ambulance took so long to come...why? Did she make it? She wouldn't say anything...did she d—"

"Calm down Mr. Mulder!" John said still struggling to hold him down, "Scully's still alive she had some serious trauma to her head and a few broken ribs so she's in intensive care but they think that she'll be okay. But..."

"But what? What John?" Mulder insisted. "She's not a vegetable! She's not paralyzed! What's wrong?"

"No Mulder..." Monica said slowly "I saw her an hour ago...other than the pain she was in high spirits. She's much better than yesterday..."

"What aren't you guys telling me?" Mulder demanded.

"We don't have much time Mr. Mulder we've got to get you out of here before the doctor finds out who you are."

Mulder sat up straight, wincing and holding his head as he did, "If you don't tell me what the hell you're hiding now I'm going to..."

"Okay Mulder just lay down your much to injured to be having such a fit!" Monica nearly yelled at him to be heard "The doctor says that there's not much hope that the baby will survive..."

"What the hell?! What baby?!"

The cameras flashed as the president walked up on the stage and behind the podium. "Mr. President?" could be heard by nearly every reporter and journalist in the room. The president had a grim and solemn look on his face and his exhaustion was evident by the dark circles under his eyes.

"My fellow Americans..." he started with the classic saying "As you already know three days ago I called out a state of national emergency in northwestern, Oregon. FEMA, the federal emergency management agency soon took over the area in an effort to prevent the spread of the disease that has been called the new black plague. I'm asking from the people of America to have patience with our governments attempts to resolve the situation.

"As of an hour ago I received word from FEMA stationed in Portland, Oregon that it has run out of medical supplies and that the disease has spread to Washington state, west Idaho and northern California. Blood drives are being set up all along the eastern coast. I, the president, only ask that you not panic and have patienc—"

Skinner couldn't stand it anymore so he left the room. Besides he had to get back to the office and check and see if agents Reyes and Dogget have reported in on their case in Oregon. He had wondered why they had suddenly went off halfway across the country. They hadn't investigated an x-files case in over two months and they were almost going to be closed.

Skinner walked into his office and tossed his jacket on a chair and pulled his coffee mug up to his lips before he noticed the person in the dark corner of the room.

"Gibson Praise? What the heck are you doing here?" Skinner said surprised as he nearly spit his coffee all over himself.

"It's happened...it's begun, they're here." Gibson said in an almost eerie voice.

"Who's here? And how did you get in here?"

"It's easy when you can read people's thoughts. I've heard them Mr. Skinner they're here and they're after Mr. Mulder and Ms. Scully. They told me...they're a danger to their plans."

"What do you mean? What plans?"

"The invader's... the aliens. Mulder and Scully are a danger to their plans to take over and make the human's a slave race."

"How could they be a danger?"

"They hold the key to the human survival."
