Scully raised a eyebrow at Mulder.

It had been five minutes since Qreg left.

"So we are doing missing persons right now?"

Mulder shook his head getting up.

"No," Mulder said, going over to the cabinet. "We are not."

"Then why did you request me to join you on hearing a 'abudctee' UFO story?" Scully asked.

Mulder opened the drawer.

"I wanted you to see the man before you see what I have to show you," Mulder said. "Q, Q, Q, . . ." His hands went through the red tape. "I read this file numerous times after getting assigned to the X-Files."

"I didn't know you read them all." Scully said.

"Ah ha!" Mulder said, yanking out a file. "Found it."

"Mulder." Scully said, her arms folded.

Mulder opened the file.

"1946," Mulder said, then he handed the photograph to Scully. "Do you see someone very femiliar in there?"

Scully squinted her eyes at the picture then looked at Mulder, baffled, in disbelief.

"I see a man with striking resemblence to Qreg being questioned by a detective."

Mulder handed her another picture.

"1952." Mulder said.

Scully looked up from that picture appearing to be confused.

"Mulder," Scully said. "What is this about?"

"Double homicides," Mulder said. "Or there was supposed to be two bodies but . . . Their remains were never located after being taken to the morgue." He took out a baggy that had a computer chip inside. "In one of the bodies head was this." He pointed to the chip. "The ME did a observational autospy." Mulder took out a slip of paper. "Special Agent Richard Beans checked the body out."

"But he didn't, I assume." Scully said.

Mulder nodded.

"The Sketch artist came up with this man," Mulder said, holding up the drawing of Qreg.

Scully raised a brow.

"Why he looks a lot like Qreg." Scully said.

"Since then there have been thirty-two cases like this, starting from Arizona," Mulder put the file on the table. "Right where Qreg has been living for the past one hundred some years virtually without getting caught."

"I have seen only photographs from this century, Mulder." Scully said.

"I got a lead from a one hundred twenty three year old man," Mulder said, taking out two plane tickets. "We are going to Texas!"

"Texas?" Scully asked. "Why there? Why not hawaai?"

"Because . . ." Mulder took out a photograph of a man resembling a well known actor on a table with mechanical like parts below the neck. He picked up the picture of George. "We have finally got a face to the other doubles. Oh and they have a suspect."

Mulder picked up his coat and headed out the door.

"Mulder!"

"Read up,Scully, that is a big file."

Scully picked up the file then followed after Mulder.

"Mulder, I haven't even packed!" Scully said. "I would like to be aware about some unexpected flights--"

"We're going to your house, first, and then we're taking the plane." Mulder said.

"You just wanted to catch me off gaurd." Scully said.

"I got my things packed." Mulder said.
