The week passed by slowly. The tests on Mulder's blood revealed no anomalies and this made Scully even more nervous than before.

She watched Mulder carefully and almost never left his side. They searched both their apartments for any bugs and then hunkered down in Mulder's apartment with notes written from memory about the case.

Both of them had taken a couple days off, since they never used their vacation days anyways, they had plenty. They planned to use their time off to work on the case in secret.

Scully was thanking God that Mulder had a photographic memory as she read over some of what they had previously collected. She wished that they still had the computer; they had not finished looking through all of her encrypted notes.

"Mulder, do you think the Gunmen kept a back up of the information they got for us on Agent Wells' computer?" She asked.

He looked up from the notes he was writing and answered, "I wouldn't put it past them. But I don't know if it is safe for us to visit them right now."

"Then how about I have them over? I mean it is not the first time that they have come to my place for dinner to work on a case so it would not be too strange. They could sneak in the information so it looks like they have nothing on them."

"Well I hope you are stocked up on cheap beer Scully."

Within the next couple hours Mulder had called the guys on a secure line to explain the plan to them and Scully had ordered some Mexican food and stopped to get some beer.

"Hey Scully we got twenty minutes to spare, whadda ya say?" Mulder said leaning against the counter wiggling his eyebrows at her.

A small smile played across her lips as she closed the oven that was keeping the food warm.

"I don't know Mulder do you really need twenty minutes?" She asked with a laugh in her voice.

Mulder laugh and trapped her against the counter, "Please I can rock your world in ten."

They began to kiss but were interrupted by the Gunmen's untimely entry.

The three men entered all discussing the pros and cons of buying new surveillance equipment for their lair.

"All I am saying is that there is no viable source that can tell us if we can trust this joker." Frohike said loudly.

Mulder and Scully flew apart looking awkward and flushed.

The Gunmen stopped in their tracks and looked at them for a second.

"So what's for dinner?" Frohike asked.

They ate in relative silence as the gunmen shoveled down their food. Scully began to gather the dishes and they got down to business.

"We were able to gather some of the data. Mostly it seems pretty boring and of no consequence but we did find one journal entry."

Langly turned the computer to Scully and Mulder. They read the text on the screen,

"Today I found something unexpected and terrifying. I have become worried for my life and wonder what will happen to me if they find out that I know. I followed Jerry tonight for a little while. He went to a strange brownstone in the capitol and went in. I watched as a number of mysterious men were dropped off in front of the building and entered. Many would glance around to see if they were being watched. I captured pictures of each man going in.
I then turned on my listening equipment that I had planted in Jerry's briefcase. The men were discussing a new project that would revolutionize what they only referred to as their long term plans.

A new way to dispose of a body that would leave no trace. They discussed recent tests on vagrants that they were running. Apparently the tests were not going very well and while the formula would usually kill the men it would only leave them mangled. Some even survived the testing only to get a bullet in the head.
By this point I was very disturbed but felt that I needed to continue to listen.
They then asked Jerry about his plans to mask the funding going toward this project. His part seems to be keeping the FBI off these men's trail. He did not seem respected in the room but was more of a patsy.

Note: Check for blackmail information they may have on them.

None of the men's names were mentioned and…."

The entry stopped there and the Agents just looked at the screen for a moment. The sadness came over Scully again as she thought of the bravery of this woman.

"Shit." Mulder said simply.

Scully, Mulder, and the Gunmen spent the next few hours trying to find information online that had to do with the different compounds found in the chemicals that destroyed the bodies.

They hacked into the accounts of many different government agencies and high profile companies but found nothing.
Mulder knew that they would not find anything, these men were too good at what they did. The syndicate was not going to leave any tracks. Around eleven they gave up on their search. The Agents thanked the Gunmen for their help and the Gunmen promised future support if they were needed.

Mulder walked the guys out as Scully began to clean the mess that was her kitchen and living room.

"So are you and the lovely Agent Scully finally together?" Frohike asked with a slightly disappointed look on his face.

Mulder was unsuprised at his boldness, "You mean are we partners? Frohike we have been partners for years stop asking stupid questions." Mulder shook his head pretending to have no idea what he was talking about.

The three men all gave Mulder a withering look but said nothing until Mulder finally responded.

"Yes. Are you satisfied now? Can you leave me alone?"

Byers and Langly smiled knowingly and Frohike looked like someone stole his candy.

"Pay up gentlemen." Langly said holding out his hand.

The other two sighed and pulled money out of their wallets and placed it in his hand.

Mulder just shook his head, "Really?"

Frohike poked Mulders chest with his finger, "You hurt her and I'll hurt you."

Mulder took hold of Frohike's finger and pulled it away from his chest and gave a small laugh, "You idiots get out of here before I kick your asses."

When Mulder got back to Scully's apartment she looked up from the sink, "So did they see?"

"Yep."
