Summary: What if after the Erlymeder Flask Scully and Mulder had not been reassigned to the X-Files, instead two other agents, Diana Fowley and Ric Sinclair? BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP I hate alarm. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP I really hate alarms. Of all the things I hate in life they rank up pretty high. I have cereal for breakfast. I used to eat cooked porridge but I gave up the early hours of the morning to work. It's the only time of day I don't get Fowley pushing down her theories. Now don't get me wrong, I believe in aliens. But I don't think they are totally unexplainable. I was getting some of the earlier files onto the computer onto the computer when Fowley came in. Crazy idea coming up. " Sinclair, I think we should get the help of Mulder and Scully." She said. " Ok reality check. They are banned from the X-Files. They betrayed protocol. Now I got a lot of paperwork to get onto disk space." I said. " Suck my wet pussy Sinclair. You never let anyone near your great projects. Fuck you " She must be having a period. . " You make up theories pretty quickly? Give me the 3o2. " I said. She did so. Usual Fowley idea. A man dies in his toilet so it a Flukeman. " Ok you talk to Mulder I'll talk with Scully. " I said. She is such a shit around the 14th of each month. I saw Mulder and Fowley eating together. Mulder ate junk, something Fowley wouldn't like. Fowley goes for those high calorie foods and still looks great. And there is Scully. She eats health foods. Weird world. " Mind if I sit down? " I asked. I brought a tray with smoked salmon and cheese on potato. Or potaeto, for all these Americans. " Pendrell said you wanted to speak to me, " She asked, " Yes " I replied. " Have you and Fowley ever.. You know " She asked timidly. " Once when we were in a motel and shit happens you know. " I said. " What about you and Mulder? " I asked. " Mulder? He is sex addicted and all but he isn't a lover " She replied. I tried to hide my jaw dropping. I sat back in the vain hope of disguising it. " So the case has a Flukeman in it or so Diana believes. " I told her. She left to consider in her office. I went back to the office to get back to the paper work. I filed a memo and filed up the old ones. I got back about 8am. I made a stir fry and read an email from Skinner. I go to bed early. Best that way. The next day I talked to Mulder " I want to make something certain Mulder. This is not a reassignment. Fowley and I still investigate the X-Files. We found what you didn't. " I told him. " What? " He asked. " Cassandra Spender. She is the key to everything. I think her abductions have something special about them. There is something else. " I gave him the picture of the Smoking Man. " He is CGB Spender. Her husband. And I am sure there is a connection. But that's not why you are here Mulder. There has been a murder in Brooklyn. I think it's connected to the Flukeman. " I told him. Later in the day I got the 3o2 to go to Brooklyn off Skinner. We would leave the next day. I went back to my apartment and ate. Then I heard a knock at the door. " Scully how did you get this address? " I asked. " Fowley told me. " Good for Fowley. " Please, come in " I said. The Flukeman, what does he look like? " I asked. " Mulder said grey skin, red mouth and slanting eyes. Its mouth is circular. " She replied. She put her hand on my knee. This wasn't the Scully I knew from the FBI. I moved closer and so did she. I put my hand on hers and our mouths moved onto each other. I gave her butterfly kisses at first and then slowly brought my tongue in and out and then out, going in deeper each time. She put her hand on my crouch. I lifted her leg up and began kissing her neck. I moved off the couch and beside her and lifted her up. I put her on the bed. She looked invitingly at me and I moved onto the bed and closer to her. She took off her shirt and bra. I kissed her smooth breasts as they expanded slightly. I began to lick her stomach and she rolled her hands through my hair, massaging my head. I moved my head up onto her breasts and up her neck onto her face, kissing her. She lifted up her leg and took off her skirt and tights. I lifted up her thighs up and began to penetrate her vagina. She licked my ear and held my ass strongly. I pushed her head onto the bed and began to move down onto her vagina, licking it. I sat up on my knees and began moving her left breast around and around. I moved my hand on her vagina. Finally, I sat on top of her and began moving up and down, slower and faster, faster. I lay beside her exhausted. They next day Fowley, Scully, Mulder and I went to Brooklyn. We went to the morgue. " The bodies rear end has been bit and there was a entrance point, possibly for a entrance of a worm. The body has been totally decomposed. It was found in a slum room, we think three days after its death. " The doctor told us. " This body is identical to the creature we encountered Scully. Were and small worm like organisms found inside? " Mulder asked. " No but if its exits for worms you want, look at the mutilations on the mouth. Skin has literally been stuck around the throat. The mouth entrance has been ripped too and the skin has closed up all sweat glands and all hair has been pushed out. The eye slits have been slanted somehow. " The doctor replied. " Looks like chemicals were released into the veins from the way they burst. " Scully said. " Or, if a worm did go through the veins it would release the chemicals " Fowley replied. " Since I am in charge of this investigation, I want Fowley with her experience in chemistry and Scully with her medical experience to look for any way to identify the body. Mulder, you and I will go to the crime scene to look for evidence. " I ordered. Mulder and I arrived at the slum. It was fucking shit ridden needless to say. Mulder and I looked around the toilet. " I never viewed you as a sceptic Sinclair. " He said. " What makes you view me that way now? I believe there is a truth out there, I just use different methods than you. " I told him. " Do you believe in aliens? " He asked. " I want to believe. " I replied. " Here is something. A footprint in blood. " He said. " Seems like they were going to the window. " I replied. " Maybe the worm entered a new host. " He theorised. " Maybe that's what we are looking for. A parasitic creature that enters the host, adapts it to its purpose, eats it from within and finds a new host. " I theorised back. " That means a host is still out there " I told him. We came back to the morgue room. " Sinclair and I found a bloody footprint heading for the window. " Mulder told him. " Scully and I found something too. The DNA has mutated through methods we can't ascertain. " Fowley said. " Any crazy theories? " I asked. " I have one. " Scully said. " Do go on " Mulder replied. " That this creature will be very hard to kill. With only a small worm like parasite being essential and an unusual bloodstream, this creature will be ver hard to catch. " Scully continued. " What attracts this creature I wonder? " Fowley asked. " Shit. " I said. " Sinclair? " Mulder asked. " It seems to always attack through toilet. I think what we need is to tempt it with lots of it in the sewer system. " I said. We got in our HAZMAT suits and waited. Then it came, swimming through the gutter. It looked identical to the one we saw in the morgue. We lowered a net and caught it. Suddenly its mouth burst open and out came the worm. The host fell to the ground, blood sputtering out of the mouth and eyes. Mulder shot the worm and it went into a small rat gutter. We left. At my office in the basement Scully came in. " Scully? " I asked. " I want to know did it mean anything to you? " She asked. " I am sorry Scully, it's not going to work. She got in a huff and left. On the way back X contacted me in an alley. " You're looking in the wrong place Sinclair. " He said. " So Patient X is the answer? " I asked. " No Sinclair. She is the question. " He replied. Suddenly a bullet shot out and struck him. He was dead instantly.
