Disclaimer: If I ran into a genie I would ask to own the X Files but until that day they still belong to Fox and Chris Carter. L
Note: This one is gonna be pretty short. This is the chapter that will mainly deal with events in the comics it will not be from William's POV actually to make it easier. Obviously combining the comics' season 10 with the shows season 10 turns this slightly more AU but I could not leave these guys out! FYI if you haven't read the comics read them! If you have read the comics and find something I left out don't tell cause I have not finished! Enjoy! And as always leave a review! (I did not watch the Lone Gunmen series so excuse any errors)
Back From the Dead
John Byers, Melvin Frohike, and Richard Langly had been dead for 15 years as far as the government was concerned. In reality they had been alive and kicking the whole time in their own underground bunker. The three men, feeling their operations were in danger, had decided to fake their own deaths and go into hiding. This does not mean they gave up their work however. They had stopped all publications but had kept up their old ways of hacking and finding the truth. They were able to stay under the radar by offering secret help to certain branches of the government.
Langly sat lazily at the computer as he worked on a freelance-coding program for a start up gaming company when an email notification appeared on the screen. This was surprising and alarming to him for a couple reasons. The main one being that no one had used that email in over a decade.
He called over his partners who were each working on their own projects. They all gathered around the screen but did not open it.
"What should I do?" Langly asked
"Well perhaps we should open it on a different computer. One with less important information." Byers offered up.
They ran to get a different lap top and quickly logged into the old email account. What they read put the three normally talkative men into silence that lasted a few minutes. It read:
Hello,
My name is William Van De Kamp and I am looking for my birth parents. I believe that you know who they are. I have read a lot of your publications and have enjoyed many but today a friend showed me some articles concerning a baby that was born under mysterious circumstances and then given up for adoption. I think I might be that child. I have always been different but lately I have been having dreams of my parents. I think they are memories from before I was adopted and I think they need my help. I know all of this sounds strange but I figured if anyone would believe me it would be you guys. The only real clues I have are their names: Scully and Mulder. Please help me.
William Van De Kamp (Scully/Mulder?)
Byers was the first to speak up, "Well this can't be any good."
"No this is great! Of course their kid figured it out. I mean he has got Scully's brains and Mulder's cunning. This is awesome." Langly said with a smile picking up an old secure cell phone to phone their old friend Agent Mulder.
"No!" Frohike said grabbing the phone from his hands. "Use your brain you hippie! This kid will be in danger if anyone finds out where he is."
"This also has the potential to reopen old wounds." Byers agreed.
"You know this kid won't give up if he really wants to find them. I mean it is bred into him to never stop. Isn't it better we are the ones to help him than any other connection he could find? Look there is a number right here at the bottom. I say we give him a call. We don't have to tell the agents yet." Langly said.
The three men all looked at each other and knew what they had to do.
