Rainbow Room,
Georgetown, Washington DC.
The two old men were sitting in a booth at the gay bar. The bartender spotted right away that the coots were straight, but that didn't really matter. He just figured they were a couple of alkies needing somewhere open to drink where they can have a conversation without being bothered. Plus one of them was smoking like a chimney, and not many places allow that anymore. The seniors seemed very interested in the MTV News report.
The cigarette smoker told his companion, "You should have checked before sending the file to Mulder, Doctor."
The Doctor said, "I'm sorry, it was a rookie mistake."
The cigarette man said, "Giving him the file wasn't a mistake, not checking with us first was."
Doctor Alfred Bellows agreed. He was relatively new to the Organization. Bellows left for Baghdad on an anonymous tip that he would find the truth about Anthony Nelson there. The search for the truth about Nelson had already cost him his career and his marriage, and in Baghdad, it almost cost him his life.
Bellows left for the capital of Iraq in January 1990, using the cover as a expert on military psychiatry for a news network. He had spent a year researching the occult in the middle-east with no luck. A year later, he found his answers, quite by accident.
Following an ancient map, Dr. Bellows arrived at some ruins near the city of Baghdad on January 17, 1991. Soon, sirens went off and bombs started to fall on the ruins. After all was clear, and Bellows was pleased to see he was still alive, he found what he was looking for. In a crater left by one of the bombs, Bellows found what looked like a saucer shaped space-craft. Considering the depth of the object, it must have been there centuries before the birth of Christ. More incredibly, in the object were two bottles similar to the one that his ex wife copied from then-Major Nelson. It made why Nelson was so protective of the bottle crystal, clear… among with many other things. Bellows was debating on whether or not to open the bottles when he heard the choppers. Black, unmarked Hueys that somehow invaded the Iraqi airspace with a war on. Alfred Bellows, MD was given the opportunity to partake in the truth, provided he allow the Organization prove to the world he was dead. Getting Bellows declared dead was not that difficult, as he had no children. Amanda had left him years ago, and his closest living relative was busy being an Admiral's wife. Bellows soon found his advanced age was not a factor in the organization, there were members in their eighties, as well as some in their twenties. All were experts in their field, and treated as equals.
The Cigarette Man asked, "Do you think Jeannie and TJ know they are hybrids?"
Bellows answered, "I doubt they would believe they are part alien. They probably think they are genies."
"Could be," said the Cigarette Man. Watching the young reporter interviewing Anthony Nelson, Jr, the chain smoker added, "I think we should also look into that Tabitha Stephens. I have reports on her family mostly filed by a Gladys Kravitz dating back nearly 40 years"
