"Mulder, What's with the hole?" The beautiful redheaded FBI Agent looked at her partner. She knew he had been up to something all the way out west like this and digging in a field in Hitchcock, California.
"Scully," He grunted as he dug another foot in the empty field. His head partially bobbed above ground level of his excavating.
"In 1958, Nancy Archer saw an unidentified flying object. Like several other witnesses of the time, no one believed her, but then they had to believe she had seen something as inexplicable radiation on her person caused her to grow fifty feet tall. She terrorized the town in her stupor and died when she got tangled and then electrocuted in the town's electric lines. The military buried her in this field and seized her properties for," He made quotation marks with his fingers, "'Tax evasion.' They then threatened all the witnesses from telling the truth."
"So you're digging up a giant corpse." She sounded skeptical as she once more found herself trying to follow his line if reasoning.
"Nope," Mulder continued digging. "Last year, the military dug her up in 1976 and moved her to places unknown, but they only moved a small truck's worth. Not enough for a woman who had allegedly grown to fifty feet tall. I think they left behind most of her." His shovel hit a rock. He bent down in the darkness barely illuminated by the light of Scully's flashlight and dusted off dirt and loose soil from something he had hit with the shovel. It just looked like he had picked up a large oval rock.
"Looks like she had kidney stones." Scully rolled her eyes and turned away as she returned to her car.
"Scully !" Mulder dropped the rock and climbed out of the hole with the shovel in his hand. Grabbing his jacket from the tree branch where he had hung it up on arrival, he had to run to catch up with her if he was going to get a ride from her. The taxi driver that had dropped him off out here had done so because he knew the field, but he preferred to ride back in to town with her than take a chance with getting stranded out here.
"It's true!" He insisted. "Buried in this field is all the truth of everything we've been looking for. More than one alien race has been in touch with this planet!"
"Mulder, think about it." He hated it when she became logical. "If she was that radioactive, then everything that crossed over her grave from grasshoppers to gophers would turn into giants."
"I've been thinking about that too." He threw the shovel into the trunk and fumbled with his jacket as he got into the car next to her. She started up the car as she glanced to him pulling on his seat belt and pulling on the safety belt. "I'm thinking that this sort of radiation only effects human female estrogen and pre-menstrual levels." He answered.
"Cosmic PMS?" She rolled her eyes again as he continued blathering on about conspiracies and secret covert alien meetings. Her mind was already home and drowning him out as she thought about settling into a foamy bath in her hotel room for the night and maybe watching Letterman. David Duchovny was on the show tonight.
