THINGS ARE LOOKING DOWN
CONTINUED FROM 'THINGS ARE LOOKING UP'...
PREVIOUSLY ON THE X FILES:
FBI HEADQUARTERS, A.D. SKINNER'S OFFICE - AUGUST 15 10:01 A.M.
"That's Knowle Rohrer." Doggett quickly added.
"I know. He killed the coroner, took her car, and is now missing." Skinner replied.
"I thought he died at the pueblos." Reyes said.
"He did." Doggett replied.
"Not anymore, he's now looking for Mulder as everyone else is too." Skinner responded.
"Just get Mulder. If we can get him alive, with the surveillance of the autopsy room and the tape recorder, we can prove Mulder's innocence. And one other thing. Make sure no one else knows about what is going on. Otherwise we're all going to be up the creek without a paddle."
FBI HEADQUARTERS, WASHINGTON D.C., D.D. KERSH'S OFFICE - AUGUST 17 - 10:32 A.M.
"Sir, you're not going to have to worry about Mulder anymore." Doggett spoke out.
"Why is that, Agent Doggett?" Kersh asked.
"I just got a call five minutes ago. Mulder and Scully have been found...dead."
FBI HEADQUARTERS, WASHINGTION D.C., D.D. KERSH'S OFFICE - AUGUST 18 - 10:56 A.M.
Skinner quickly walked into the room.
"They're not dead." Skinner replied.
Kersh put down the phone and turned to look at Skinner.
"What?" Kersh asked.
"They're alive and well." Skinner replied.
Kersh nodded his head.
"I want to make a little deal. It's a deal you won't say no to."
"And what deal is that?" Kersh asked.
"The reinstatements of Doggett, Scully, Reyes, Mulder, and I."
"I don't make deals! Who do you think I am?"
"You'll make this deal right after you hear it. The deal is, the reinstatements of those agents plus me, for very valuable papers on you and your little group which will not be exposed."
"What papers?"
"Papers on everything you've ever done. Papers that can get you and your little friends kicked out of this building faster than anything."
"Okay! I'll see what I can do."
"I want the X-Files reopened too."
"I can't do that."
"If you don't, then I'll fry your ass you son of a bitch. I'll take those papers to everyone. The Federal Commission. The President. The CIA. The federal officers. Anyone who will listen."
Kersh looked at Skinner.
"No one will listen."
"You sure about that pretty boy?"
The door opened and Mulder and Scully came into the room.
Kersh's mouth dropped open.
"You were saying?" Skinner asked.
Kersh reached into his desk then threw Skinner's badge onto the desk top.
"Welcome back, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR Skinner."
Skinner took his badge back.
"I also want the safety of Mulder. If anything happens to him, even if he catches a cold I'll be down your neck."
Kersh looked at Skinner even harder.
"One other thing. Don't try to get those papers or kill the men that have them. Because then you'll have to kill all 50 of them. One in each state. And they're ready to repeat those papers. They know every single line, back to front, and in 5 different languages. These papers are very valuable to some people. So don't screw up!"
Skinner then walked out of the room.
Kersh picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Yeah, we have trouble. They know everything, and are threatening to show off those papers for their reinstatements." Kersh listens. "You better do something about it. Oh yeah, one other thing...The X Files has just reopened..."
SHIBAN PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL, ALBANY, NEW YORK - AUGUST 18 - 7:22 P.M.
Two orderlies walked down the cold, dark hospital hallway.
"Who is this girl?" One orderly asked.
"Spender, or something. She's been yelling out a name all night. I can't seem to get her to shut up."
The two orderlies stopped at room number 41.
"This is it."
The one took out his group of keys, and fiddled around with them until he found the correct one. He placed it into the lock, and unlocked the door. He ventured in first, followed by the other orderly.
They both gasped... sitting in the middle of the room was a teenage girl with long black hair dangling from each side of her head, and very pale skin. All around her were floating objects, the bed, chairs, and a small cabinet.
"What the hell?" The one asked.
The two looked down at the girl who was in a trance... utter words came from her cold, smooth, blanch lips. The same word, over and over. The one orderly put his head down to hear her.
"Fox... Fox... Fox..."
The orderly looked up at the other one in confusion, and surprise.
They didn't know what was happening, and they didn't know why. They both decided to leave the room when all the objects dropped. The door slammed in front of their faces. They turned around to see the girl starting to lift from up the floor, and a glow of white light came from eyes.
The two men looked at each other, then at the girl, then back at each other when they screamed after the white light took over the entire room blinding the two.
The light stopped, and all was quiet. The girl was in the corner, rocking back and forth, back and forth, and imprinted on the wall across from her was an imprint of the two men, with burn marks around them... like they had been burned away and their shadows remained on the white wall...
