"Mulder, come on. Not another one!" Scully cried indignantly as she followed him into the airport where a small scientist-looking man stood, holding a sign that bore their names. "Dr. Watson I presume." Mulder said as they shook hands. "It's nice to finally meet you… both of you." He said with a wide, eager smile as he shook Scully's hand, holding onto it a second longer then was comfortable for her. "You said that you found the corpse of an extra terrestrial being?" Mulder said as Dr. Watson eagerly ushered them to his waiting SUV.
"It discovered was during an excavation of a mummified Neanderthal man we located when glacier erosion revealed a hidden cave. Now I know that you two probably can't wait to get up there, so I've already arranged a guide & equipment for you at the base camp."
"Snowmobiles? We're taking snowmobiles up there?" Scully said, warily eying the machines. "You're telling me that you've never driven one before?" Mulder said in disbelief. "No, Mulder. Because I value my life & my safety." She rebottled, their guide rolled his eyes at this as he mounted his machine. "Come on, Scully. I promise not to lose you." He said as he gestured behind him, Scully reluctantly climbed on & they were off, following their guide's tracks in the fresh power snow. Mulder threw a huge grin back at her as she clung tightly to his waist to keep from being swept off at the turns. "Shut up, Mulder." She said which only served to make him grin wider.
After what seemed like an eternity (to Scully, anyway, Mulder seemed to be having the time of his life) they arrived at the cave's opening. "I wait for you out here." The guide said as he turned his snowmobile off & lay back against the handlebars with a book in hand. Mulder threw a distracted wave his way as he rushed into the cave. "Oh my god." Scully said as they both shone their flashlights on what seemed to be an honest to goodness alien. "Mulder, how many of these have we chased only to have them end up as hoaxes?" Scully said. "Ten years on the X-Files has taught me to always keep an open mind." Mulder replied, suddenly, they heard a thunderous roar & the high pitched screams of their guide. They ran outside to catch a glimpse of something large & hairy carrying him off. Mulder & Scully looked to each other, too shocked to say anything.
