Don't Cry Wolf by Stephanie Smith Chapter 1 "Error Error" flashed up on Joe Smith's computer screen he rolled his eye's in disbelief. All the lights in his room were off except the one beside his computer, which glowed with a yellow misty light, which made things hard to see. He worked all day and night for lousy pay and what for just to keep Dad happy. He stood up and nodded at the passing guard he knew then well. For he had worked here just like his father because it was the family business "Smith's Labs". His dad had spent many nights away from him and his Mother but he often wondered why he did it. His wife would be in bed when he got home and there was little or no talking from her. He was getting to old for this job and getting to old to be away from his family. As he turned around from his computer screen he herd the door slam shut and he jumped. "Is that you Bob¦ Jimmy stop playing around its not funny" a wisp of wind brush past him he checked that the window was open its wasn't! He was starting to get tense and loosened his tie. "Boy what a day" he said trying not to scare himself. He grabbed his brief case and was trying to switch off the computer but it wouldn't suddenly it flashed off. He looked at the plug socket and it was pulled out. He was all for running out but he felt a hand on his shoulder and he was to scared to pull away he new what it was and hoped that this day had never come. But as he turned to look his eyes closed and his heart slowed He pulled away and hit the ground blood covered the ground from a wound in his chest. He held his bloodily shirt and whispered "oh god not again, not again" as his voice got softer and soft he knew this was the longest work shift he will ever take. Chapter 2 As agent Mulder straightened his tie he watched his partner try to look reasonable. She brushed her hair back and walked down the gravel path to the house of Mrs Smith. "It's a shame" "Yeah it is" Scully replied as she knocked on the door "That they don't make those little sweet that you get on a plane any more!" Mulder smiled Scully has surprised that her partner could crack a joke after a 4-hour flight and a car trip. The door was answer by a little short middle aged woman with a T-shirt and jeans on. "Hello Mrs Smith" Scully spoke I a slow quiet tone because she that she must be in shock after her husbands death. "Yes" she opened the door wider so Mulder and Scully could come though to the main room. They sat down and showed Mrs Smith their badges. "Mrs Smith I am agent Mulder this is agent Scully and we are here to ask you a few questions about your husbands death." Mrs Smith nodded "On Monday night Mrs Smith did you receive any phone calls" "No not one." "Did Mr Smith" "Professor Smith" "Sorry" Mulder and Scully looked at each other. Scully continued "Did Professor Smith contact you in any way on Monday night?" "Well, not that I can think of" "Can you think of any one who might have a reason to kill your husband?" "Why of course not he was a kind and gentle man and worked in the Lad all his life he would never touch a fly" she start to sob "Mrs Smith can you tell us about your husbands work" "Why yes, he worked very hard and never had a day off. It was his fathers Lab's and he was given them. But he some passed it to another Mr Smith Jake. After he realised he couldn't or didn't want to he passed it to his father Sam who then ran the Lab's but was soon killed in a work accident we don't know what happened so his son "Jake sorry Mr Smith" Mulder corrected him self "Yes, so Jake took up the business and made Joe's life a living hell." "What do you mean?" "Well when his father you know Mr Smith let Joe do all sorts he really did enjoy his work but when his son Jake came into power he make Joe have nothing to do with the labs and made him sit at a desk all day writing his notes. That's when he start getting a stressed" "Stressed?" "Yes he would stay at work all day and night some time he wouldn't come home even 1 AM" "Really" Scully sat taking notes and Mulder watched Mrs Smith as if he had never seen a mid aged woman before. He watched her every move and showed no or little emotion the hole way though their conversation. "Sorry but I really have to go and clean the house and I need to be alone" "Yes of course we understand Mrs Smith" Scully nodded her head and stood up and walked to the door "Please tell me if you find any thing" "We will Mrs Smith we will" and with that the agents let them selves out. Chapter 3 "Mulder what did you think of her story" "She seamed a bit tense like she knew more" Mulder Scully couldn't believe Murder's reaction. "Mulder this woman had just lost her husband and was trying to told her self together" Scully sighed "Some times Mulder I think you are to suspicious". A silence fell on the car and Scully sat thinking. And wondered why were they on this case? There were no aliens, no ghosts, and no cover-ups. Just a plain old case Scully was relieved. "Mulder why are we on this case?" "I don't know but I thought there could be some thing in it" "Why what do you think is in it?" "You are just full of questions aren't you" Scully shrugged "No really what do you see in it" "Well it be that 25 years ago exactly yesterday a man named Bob Freeman was murdered in the same way well nearly" "What they were both dead when they found them!" Scully remarked "Oh ha ha, no they had both had to great claw marks down their backs" Mulder said that in a told you so kind of tone. "Mulder there were no claw mark on Joe Smith's body" "Did you see the body Scully?" "Well no but the company said all they knew about the body" "Yeah, but they maybe covering up something you never know" Scully shacked her head at Mulder and then she realised that this case wasn't just any old case it was an X-file well so Mulder thought. " So it was the same man who killed them both" "No Scully it was the same thing" Chapter 4 They arrived at the crime seen a plain office building apart from the squad cars around it. Scully was still amazed a Mulders reply "What a werewolf!!!!!!"Scully startled Mulder she was not amused "Just an idea" Mulder stepped way from her he didn't want to make her mad oh no! They flashed their badges at every one "Agent Mulder, Scully?" "Yes, are you Officer Jones?" Mulder asked. He nodded but he was most surprised when he saw Scully he didn't like woman working at what he called a mans job. Scully was use to it wasn't the first time. "I'm agent Scully and this is Mulder "it was only right to look like she didn't care. "Did you know Mr Smith?" Mulder inquired "Yes, he was a hard working man" "Any idea what killed him?" Scully asked "Nope, may be he did it him self?" Jones walked away like a tiger away from a trap. Mulder and Scully had noticed that ever though he knew him he didn't seem to care but why? Jones stopped at a person passing by "Its happening again" he commented to the dark figure the dark figure seemed to agree "Do they know?" he asked calmly "Not sure the man may have an idea I'm not sure about the girl" "Agent Scully" the shadow added "What ever but the man I think he knows or has a pretty good guess!" "We'll we have to target the girl I have a sores of information that tells me that people are likely to believe her and not him" Jones was unsure if this was a good or bad plan "And" shadow added "that man will do any thing for that girl even lie" "What are you going to do to her?" Jones questioned "It's not your place to know!" he said sharply "But I think it is" "I said its not!" and with this he stormed off. Jones was left alone once again unsure off what will happen or what had just happened! Chapter 5 Mulder and Scully were having a quiet ride to their hotel until Scully broke the silence with "I was checking up on this town and there is a pretty strange back ground to the history of this place". Mulder didn't have a twinkle in his eye as usual! "Really? What was so strange?" This was the last thing she expected him to say "Mulder, Fox Mulder!" "What!" "Are you OK?" "Oh sorry Miss Scully I forgot to do my homework!" Mulder said in a childish tone "Well, you usually do a lot of back ground on a case". Mulder seemed embarrassed by this. Scully seemed equally to. "So, any way there has been 5 identical murders in the last 25 years the chances of that are 1,000,000 to 1!" "So what do you think it is" Mulder queried and seemed to be not amazed by the figures "A cult maybe!" "No" Mulder snapped back "its trickier than that" "Well what is it? the bogey man? , mud men? , Santa's elf's?!!!" "Very funny" Mulder answered sarcastically. "But there was some illegal testing in the area by Professor Smith .He was a victim in the last murder spree" "What was so illegal about it?" "He tested on animals and humans!" "Humans too?" "Yes! And lots of scientists went missing as well!" "Let's visit these labs shall we?" "We shall" with this Mulder stepped on the gas and they shot off like a rocket Chapter 6 When they arrived at "Smith labs" it was a dark place with a great big parking lot and with 2 cars in it. The labs looked like a prison a prison for scientists. The agents quickly arranged to be shown around by Prof. Smith "Are you a relation of the dead Prof. Smith? " "Nicely put Mulder!" "Yes" he replied "This is where we used to keep the animals" pointing the lines of small cages but one large one caught Scullys eye .It was bigger than all the rest and had fresh water and food but had great chunks out of it. Scully pointing to it said " What's that for?" "Oh he said hesitantly "that was for a large cat" "What's with the food" Mulder inquired "That's for um uh¦." Shaking his head "my cat" he said just like he was making it up .The agents thought they didn't buy his story "Thank you for your time Mr Smith" the agents said together. The agent left with more information than they needed than they wanted! |

Chapter 7 Scully sat in her room day dreaming about a normal life with a normal job not chasing Some thing straight out of a Sci-fi film and most importantly the man of her dreams which closely reminded her of Mulder. She sat on the end of her bed not watching the TV with a dazed look on her face. Next door Mulder was trying to fit the case together and half thinking about Scully and her lovely long hair with her ocean blue eyes. Back to the real world Mulder he thought to himself. He still thought he was right about the werewolf or maybe not a wolf a dog or a cat but then a light went on in his head .It hit him like a thunder bolt it was not a were wolf its a half man, half wolf. Professor Smith's experiment must have gone wrong. That was why the labs were shut down then it all fits in the large cage, the food, the claw marks but why does it only happen every 25 years? . He had to tell Scully but Scully had a hard enough time thinking that Jerry Springer was real never mind a wolf-man! Chapter 8 A car pulled up into the hotel's car park .The car was as black as night and the men were as light as day. They stepped out of their car they stuck out like a sore thumb in their dark coal suits. They had no expression. They looked and acted like robots no feelings, no sense, no life just an order and that order was to abduct Agent Dana Scully. Scully heard a knock on her door and thinking it was Mulder .She wailed "Come in" The men in black approached her room with their pale expression and with ease they opened the door. Ready for anything Scully sat up any thing but this. 4 large men rolled in trashing her room .To Scully it was like a whole army .She ran to fetch her gun but the men were too quick and slick they had slid in the door and picked up her gun and already pointed their guns at her like she was a monkey in a cage Scully. Knew she would not win against men twice her size so didn't even try. They pushed her on to the bed with just a nudge Scully went soaring though the air and landed on the bed with a crash. This felt like falling onto a ton of bricks and she wished Mulder was there, she wished almost anything but this! Who seemed to be the leader took out a piece of rope which looked like a snake and the snake curled around Scullys arms .It hurt like a bed of needles Scully shut her eyes with terror unsure if this would be that thing she ever saw. Meanwhile Mulder was having a shower and did not hear Scullys pleas for help .So he kept to trying to scrub himself clean but he couldn't get the smell of resentment out of his hair the resentment of Scullys lack of interest in his story but Mulder knew that Scully was acting different in this case. It was as if she knew something or someone more than him but it could of been that Scully had just lost her sister to a bullet that was meant for her and her father which Mulder had much admired .He stepped out of the shower freezing cold not knowing what was going on he just kept on thinking about Scully not knowing this could be the last time ever for him to see her. Chapter 9 Scully was bound up like a cow in the market she sat on a chair in the centre of the room and was unsure where she was .A large man walked into her solitude and spoke in a deep clear voice which reminded her of her father which made it worse. "Do you know why you are here Agent Scully?" she remembered that voice it was Officer Jones! With his friend shadow which as he moved into the light became Prof. Smith! This was one weird case .The two good guys were bad ones. This made no sense Scully answered their question with "No, why am I here?" "We thought your partner was getting too close to the truth," a sly voice said "What are you going to do to me" "Well" Smith cackled "the main thing is you won't be alive when it’s done!" Scullys face dropped .She could smell death and it was too near .Boy, did she want Mulder and her prayers were soon answered. Mulder knocked on Scullys door but no answer. Mulder with a look of surprise creaked open her door like a mouse. When he did his face turned to stone her place trashed not one thing standing .He saw her blood on the side of her bed. How could have he missed it? Why did he not hear? There was one thing that stood out. That was a piece of paper with "LABS" on it with a pen as red as Mulders eyes. Chapter 10 Mulder pulled into the labs he drew his gun when he stepped out of his car unsure if this was a trap or not. This case was to personal for Mulder to think straight and he did what his heart said "find her". He stomped though the labs with ease looking in every room .He found one with a light on he ran to it like a hungry man to food. There was Scully in the centre of the room but she was not awake .Is she dead? Thought Mulder "Hello Mr Mulder" a man said the other side of the room. "What do you want?" he cried "Your word" "For what?" "That you will keep quiet about the case" "But why. Your name is in the clear" "Yes but it is my animal and my jail sentence" "So what is the true story then?" "I thought you had worked it out Mr Mulder" he said as he stepped in to the light Mulder was shocked to find Smith and Jones side by side "It started in 1974 .My father Sam Smith was trying to make a human in a animals body its was impossible until he tried a wolf with a human DNA This was his final experiment he waited for months until one of his work men ratted him out to the F.B.I .It took them a while to come but it took them long enough for his wolf-man to hatch" Smith circled the agents with a sad look in his eye " That's what killed my father .It got too big he couldn't control it!" his voice broke "the missing scientists were the ones he tested on, the animal went into hibernation .We though that would kill it but it is awake and it has to kill five more people that is why we have you friend" Then a growling started over by them .Could it be ? ! Chapter 11 The growling got nearer and nearer to the men "Lets go" Jones tugged Smith "I am going to go the same way as my father" "If you are trying to be brave you're not" with that Jones ran but he ran right into the wolf-man. With a look of terror he turned back to Smith as if it say "Good bye" They all looked away when the growling was drowned out by the screams. Mulder began to feel very sick .The wolf-man was nearing Smith. Smith shut his eyes for the last time and stepped in to the darkness and the wolf followed. Mulder shook Scully harder than ever and he tried to untie the ropes but they were too tight "Come on come on" he whispered. The wolf had only one thing one his mind-food .The wolf walked closer and closer he leapt though the air like a plane "My Gun!" Mulder thought as he lifted it with a bang bang bang the wolf growled for the last time. Scullys eyes flickered. "Are you OK?" Mulder lowered his voice "Just a bit bruised and confused. What happened?" Chapter 12 Later police turned up and caught Officer Jones. They went to go on pick up the animal but it had gone. Mulder knew that a gun couldn't kill the animal no human weapon could be enough to kill the inhuman creature. He knew that one-day the animal would awake again but this time he would be ready for it. But he hoped that whatever human became this animal would may be able to control the animal not physically but mentally. He knew that there was a piece of human in that animal some where. He knew because the animal would of killed them straight away so he hoped that what ever human was in this animal it could still have a heart and the soul to know that killing for any reason is still killing. On the flight home there was a silence between the agents they had both had a tiring time. "Scully" "Yes Mulder" "I'm glad you're OK" "And I'm glad you're OK to" with this the agents relaxed. Until the next case! |
