Here is my third story for "TALES OF TRINITY"! Leigh Nuridin TALES FROM TRINITY __________________ By Leigh Nuridin January 3, 1997 "Unexplained Trinity" _____________________________________ "We've got another case, Scully!" Mulder shouted across the desk. "Involving aliens?" Scully asked sarcastically. "Who knows?!" Mulder shouted as he stood and put his leather jacket on. Scully and Mulder both walked out to their case car. Both slammed the door and fought over which way to hold the map. "Mulder, we're going to Trinity, South Carolina." Scully explained. "No, we're going to the triangle." Mulder argued. "Well that's what Skinner said anyway." Eventually Mulder and Scully headed for Trinity, not knowing the evil forces they were going to face... CHAPTER 1: "The Case" "So anyway Mulder," Scully began as they drove through a small town called Forhike. "What do we have to solve when we get to Trinity?" "The case of the missing peoples." Mulder said keeping his eyes on the road. "And by the way Scully, I don't believe that the peoples are missing. I think the peoples in Trinity are having Paranormal Delusions!" "Mulder, I think I should drive." Very soon Mulder and Scully arrived in Trinity. "Yes, Wooo, We're here!" Mulder yelled to Scully who closed her eyes in embarrassment. "After such a trip, Scully, you'll have to believe!" "I believe you're mentally insane." Scully told Mulder as she got out of the car. "I wonder what's the matter with her." Mulder asked himself. Scully and Mulder walked down the quiet streets of Trinity. They felt like the odd ones out. Everyone was staring at them or were they starring at Mulder who was skipping? "Mulder, do you get the feeling everyone's watching us?" Scully asked quietly. "Yes! I told you the truth was out there!" Mulder yelled with joy. "I meant people watching us." Scully said angrily. "Oh," Mulder followed Scully into the Sheriff's office. "G'day mate!" Mulder told Lucas. "Hello there." Lucas replied. "Sorry, sir, you'll have to get used to him," Scully explained to Lucas. "When he was young his sister hit him over the head with a baseball bat and she was taken to jail." "No!" Mulder argued. "She was taken by aliens." "See. He went brain damaged when he was hit." Scully told Lucas only Lucas wasn't listening to her. He was staring at her. "So why are you two here?" Lucas asked Scully. "We're here to solve the case of the missing peoples!" Mulder told Lucas. "People have gone missing. We're here to find them." Scully said softly. "Anything you need, please ask." Lucas requested. "I'll do that." Scully smiled. As soon as Mulder and Scully got out of the police station, Mulder began whining. "What a stupid sheriff." Mulder cried. "He was quite nice." Scully argued. Mulder stuck out his tongue and ran down the road to the boarding house. "What am I going to do with you, Mulder?" Scully asked herself. "So you're the couple that will be stayin' in the larger room, are you?" Loris asked politely. "Yes." Mulder answered. "No." Scully disagreed. "Will you two make up your mind?" Loris asked. "A separate room for both of us thanks." Scully smiled. "Sorry." Loris said. "There's only one room left, the larger room." Scully rolled her eyes as Mulder sang out "YES!" "Of course if it's an emergency, this man can sleep in Caleb's room." Loris said looking at Mulder who almost began to cry. "Dinner's at seven. Sharp." Loris said as both Mulder and Scully walked to their rooms. At dinner time... "Mmmm, smells yummy." Scully told Caleb who sat next to Mulder. "It smells paranormal!" Mulder argued. "What's paranormal?" Caleb asked. "I think he's confused." Matt answered for him. Loris walked in with a large bowl of soup and a large tray with peas, pumpkin, potatoes and carrots on it. "Sit up Caleb." Loris said as she served his dinner. "And you to Mr." Mulder embarrassed began to cry. "Meanie." He said. Eventually they got through to dessert... "You're a wonderful cook." Scully complimented on Loris's cooking. "Thankyou." Loris replied. Suddenly Lucas came in with a watermelon. "Good day fellow citizens, and how are you tonight?" "I'm good thank you, Mr Buck." Scully answered first. "Lucas." "I'm bad, Mr Buck." Mulder yelled. "Sheriff Buck." "Excuse me Lucas, but we were having desert." Loris interrupted. "Well lucky I brought this." Lucas said holding up his watermelon. "Always good for desert." "I love watermelon!" Caleb said happily. "I really came here to find out who wanted to go for a spin... in my car." Lucas smiled at Scully. "I'm not allowed." Caleb said sadly. "I'll come!" Scully ran out the door. "Bye-Bye fellows!" Lucas laughed as he ran after Scully. "Lights out!" Loris called up to Mulder and Caleb. "Do you believe in ghosts, Mr Mulder?" Caleb asked in the dark. "Yes," Mulder began. "That's paranormal activity. We see a lot of that at Washington D.C." "My sister's a ghost Mr Mulder." Caleb explained. "My sister's an alien." Mulder tried to explain only Caleb ran off screaming! Down the quiet streets of Trinity a loud skid wakes everyone up. Inside the car Scully and Lucas got stuck under the back seat. "Honey, what are you doing under there?" Selena asked. "We're stuck!" Lucas explained. "WE'RE stuck. Who's WE'RE, Lucas?" Selena asked curious. "Selena just help us out would ya?" Lucas yelled. "If you tell me what you'll doing in there, Lucas!" Selena yelled. TO BE CONTINUED..... CHAPTER 2: "One is found" The next morning Mulder and Caleb went a walk and found Lucas's car. "How paranormal!" Mulder yelled. "A car in the middle of a road!!!" "It's Lucas's car." Caleb explained as he heard Lucas's cry for help. Mulder followed Caleb to the back seat where Lucas and Scully were stuck. "Oh Scully!" Mulder yelled. "Please tell me I'm having a paranormal delusion." "You're having a paranormal delusion." Scully yelled from under the seat. "Now help us out!" Caleb grabbed Lucas's hand and Mulder grabbed Scully's. "ONE, TWO, THREE, HEAVE!" Mulder yelled pulling Scully out. Suddenly Ben's car sped down the road. His head poked out of the window. "We found someone half dead!" he called. Lucas jumped in the front seat as Scully, Caleb and Mulder all squashed in the back. Lucas sped after Ben and didn't notice Selena follow them. "Gosh that Mulder guy is mental!" Matt joked with Loris. "And that Scully girl is too nice." Loris joined in. "Not to mention she's in love with Lucas!" Matt laughed. "Desperate." Lucas's car pulled up at an old house. Inside Gail was patting a fat man with a bald head. Caleb noticed his tongue was bitten off! "Scully, have you got a mobile phone?" Lucas asked. "Yeah!" Scully answered. "Call Matt!" Caleb's eyes widened. "I know his name!" he yelled excitedly. "SOL!" "He looks more like a Michaelangelo!" Mulder joked. Selena walked in the scene with her little hand bag. "Look." she said pointing to a bag that Gail was holding. Lucas bent down and picked it up. "May need it for evidence." he told Gail who frowned. Lucas walked in the next room followed by Selena. Mulder, at the door listened to their conversation. "You bit off his tongue?" Lucas asked. "In the fit of passion." Selena answered. Mulder walked back over to "Sol". "How old are you Sol?" Mulder questioned only Sol pointed to the window. "That doesn't answer my question!" "Mr," Caleb began explaining. "His tongue is bitten off." "That's no excuse!" Mulder yelled as Matt ran in the door. Matt ran down to the body and covered it with a blanket. "Scully," Matt said fastly. "Open the window!" Scully climbed up the ladder and pulled away some boards that covered the window. In a flurry of speed the room was full of light and in a flurry of speed Scully fell through the floorboards! "You're gonna be alright Sol." Caleb told the sick man. Caleb grabbed the man's hand and he dropped dead. "It isn't your fault." Gail said softly. "Yeah," Mulder agreed. "The aliens did it!" Selena and Lucas wondered into the room again. "Where's Scully?" Selena was drinking a long mug of coffee singing "I want to be more holly in my life" as Mulder knocked on the front door. "Oh hello Mr Mulder." Selena said opening the door. "Where's your partner, Scull head?" "Oh, you mean Scully?" Mulder said. "They're pulling her out." "I'm sorry?" Selena asked confused. "She's still stuck somewhere in that house." Mulder explained. "How paranormal. By the way... I like your LOW singing." "Thanks." Selena said showing Mulder to a seat. "So what brings you to my loving house?" "I'd like to ask you some questions." Mulder told Selena smiling. "Did you know that man that we found?" "Oh, yes!" Selena smiled. "I bit off his tongue." "In the fit of passion?" Mulder asked. "Yes. In passion." Selena answered. Mulder began to shiver. "How paranormal." He said aloud. "So Mulder, honey," Selena began. "Do you like my hair?" "Yeah!" Mulder yelled. "Red. I like it. My partner has red hair. Hers is more red than yours though. Yours has little blonde strokes and I bet Scully's hair will have little grey strokes when they pull her out of that house." "Yes." Selena agreed. "I'd have grey hairs from shock too." "No." Mulder yelled. "Every case I've been in, those who have been abducted by aliens have little grey hairs." "Oh I thought she was in shock because she looked in the mirror." Eventually Mulder left her house and got in the car. "What a tart." he said to himself. "Lucas we've been searching for one hour now!" the construction worked sighed. "We can't find Scully." "If you give up I'll... I'll... I'll do something really bad!" Lucas snarled. "We found 'er!" another construction worker called, making Lucas smile only the smile faded when he saw Scully. Scully was no longer a young beautiful FBI agent. Her nose was squashed, her teeth were yellow, her hair was covered with grey lines and her whole body was covered in dust! "My love!" she called as she raced to Lucas who backed away. "I thought I'd never see you again!" "Lucas looked at the construction worker. "Put her back in or I'll... I'll... I'll do something really bad!" TO BE CONTINUED..... CHAPTER 3: "Two more are found" Mulder walked in the boarding house front door and smelt chicken. "Smells like I just made it for Lunch!" He said as he walked in the dinning room. "Looks like I just made it for lunch!" Mulder sat next to Caleb and glanced at Scully. "What happened to you!?!?" he asked. "I had a paranormal experience." Scully said sarcastically. Meanwhile Gail's phone rings... "Hello." Gail answered. "Yes. What?! I'll be there right away!" Meanwhile at Matt's office his phone rings... "Hi." Matt answered. "Yeah. Uh?! I'll be there as soon as I can!" Meanwhile Ben's office phone rings... "Hullo, Trinity police department this is Ben speaking." he answered. "Yes I just said this is Ben speaking. BEN HEALEY! So? Okay I'm leaving now." Back at Loris's house... "Hello." Mulder answered. "No. I'll get her. SCULLY PHONE!" Scully answered. "Hello. Special agent Dana Scully here. Wow! Coming!" "Mulder!" Scully called. "What Scully?" "Another found!" The case car pulled up outside a burned down ruin. Standing at the foot of it was Gail, Matt and Ben. Mulder followed Scully to bunch of bones. "This used to be Caleb's house." Gail explained. "He burned it down." "And we have found bones." Matt joined in. "And they're covered in BUGS!" Ben yelled. Mulder bent down and opened his jar. He let a bug crawl into it. "When we get back I'll test the bug." Scully stated. "Have you identified the bones?" Mulder asked Matt. "Nope." He answered. "I'll take them back to the hospital and see what I can do." Suddenly Scully's mobile rang. "Scully." She answered. "Where? Okay." "We've just had another!" Scully sighed. Gail's car followed Matt's car who followed the case car who followed Ben's car to a house. Inside a women lay dead in her bath tub. Shredded to pieces! "Murder or Sourside?" Scully asked Matt. "Mulder or Scully?" Gail joked. "Unknown." Matt answered Scully's question. "We'll need an autopsy." "I can do that!" Scully said happily. Matt, Gail and Ben looked at each other and shrugged as a man came up the stairs. "She was my wife." he said sadly. "Thanks to Lucas, I've lost her and all my money." "Lucas?" Scully asked. "Lucas Buck." the man answered snarling. "That's Buck with a B." Mulder and Scully walked to their case-car. "So what clues do we have?" Scully asked as she opened the passenger door. "Well," Mulder began. "Lucas knew all the victims." "He is the town sheriff!" Scully exclaimed. "He must get around." Mulder said aloud as he opened his door. "I also found that Ms Coombs had a relationship with our first victim." "I've been told she has a relationship with every guy in town!" Scully announced. "I'm surprised she hasn't made a move on you!" "Well actually..." An hour later at Loris's house... "I've just been examining this bug," Scully began. "These were extinct three hundred years ago!" "How paranormal." Mulder said quietly looking at the bug. "What's paranormal now?" Caleb asked entering the room. "This bug." Scully explained. "It was extinct over three hundred years ago!" Caleb looked at the bug carefully. "If your so interested in these bugs," he began. "there's plenty at the local museum." Mulder and Scully looked at each other. "Show us!" "Ben get us a drink would ya?" Lucas asked with his feet on his desk. "Water will do." Ben left the room and came back with a glass of water. "I've had a bad day, Lucas." Ben explained. "The day isn't over yet." Lucas joked. "Three bodies in one day!" "Ben," Lucas said looking surprised. "You see bodies all the time!" "Not three in one day, Lucas!" Ben shrilled. "The day isn't over yet." Lucas repeated. "The day isn't over yet." Mulder and Scully followed Caleb into the museum. They passed the town photo's not noticing Lucas was in every one since seventeen eighty one! They eventually came to the "live creatures" display. "Hello." the museum owner said to their arrival. "Hi." Caleb said. "We're here to see the bugs." "Oh," the owner said with a smile. "those lovely creatures." She walked to an old wooden door and pushed it open. She walked down old stairs with Mulder, Caleb and Scully following her. Very soon they came to a metal door with a little glass see through panel. "Caleb." the owner whispered. "Stay here with me." Mulder and Scully pushed open the heavy door and watched it slam shut behind them. They were in a room and in the middle was a wooden coffin-like box. "Ladies first." Mulder said motioning towards the coffin. Scully, unafraid, pulled a chain that connected to the coffin lid. In a flurry of speed, familiar bugs flew around them and inside the coffin a man lay half dead. "HELP!" he called. Scully shrieked at the site of him! TO BE CONTINUED..... CHAPTER 4: "He must be stopped!" "I've made my conclusion." Mulder said throwing up in the museum toilet. "It's that Lucas Buck." "No, it isn't!" Scully yelled at him. "Since when did the sheriff kill his local citizens?" "Since now!" Mulder said trying to get the sight of the eaten up body out of his head. "Lucas Buck must be stopped!" Scully and Mulder began looking for Caleb. "He's gone home." the owner of the museum explained. Mulder and Scully began fighting over who would drive back to Loris's house only Scully's mobile rang. "Scully." she answered. "Yes. Not again! Where? Okay." "Let me guess." Mulder said sogging. "Another death?" Mulder won the fight and drove to a nearby house. "Another tub death." Gail told Mulder as he opened his door and got out. "I'm never having a bath again!" Mulder exclaimed. Inside an old man was drowned. "Anything been found?" Scully questioned Ben curiously. "A pig mask." Ben told Scully holding up a rubber mask. Scully examined it. "Any prints?" she asked. "You wouldn't believe who's prints!" Ben said looking at Scully with a little horror on his face. "Lucas Buck's?" Mulder asked making the room go silent and everyone stare at him. "Let me guess. I'm right?" "Scully, he must be stopped!" Mulder yelled as he and Scully walked in Lucas's office. "Who?" Lucas asked overhearing their conversation. "FREEZE F.B.I.!" Mulder yelled holding his gun pointed at Lucas! "FEDERAL BURIAL OF INVESTIGATION! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST! ANY WORDS YOU SAY CAN, AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU IN THE COURT OF LAW!" "Where the hell do ya think your taking me?" Lucas swore at Mulder who kept his eyes on the road. "To court, as I said." Mulder answered with no expression. Lucas looked at Scully who shrugged. "It wasn't my idea!" Lucas looked at the locks on his cuffs and stared. Suddenly they came undone. Lucas smiled at Scully who did them back up again. "I could've escaped." Lucas explained. "But I knew you'd come back and get me. Besides, darlin', the judge is on MY side!" Mulder looked at Lucas who smiled. The car pulled up outside a small courthouse. Inside the judge sat at his bench with an old wooden hammer. He banged it loudly. "Order in the court!" he sang out. Mulder sat in a box next to the judge and Lucas sat in a box on the other side. In the audience Gail sat with Caleb, Loris sat with Matt and Ben sat with Billy Peale and Selena. Only Caleb noticed his sister smiling at him and giving Lucas dirty looks. "Who is Lucas's loyer?" the judge asked suspiciously. "I." Scully answered smiling at Lucas. "Then we shall begin." the judge said seriously. "Caleb thank you for that lovely soup..." Caleb and Loris smiled at each other. "I there for find Lucas GUILTY!" the judge laughed. Lucas starred at the judge and felt his heart beat. Suddenly the judge dropped dead! A crow flew past the window. Mulder didn't realise Lucas had just killed the judge, he thought Caleb had! "Caleb," Mulder began looking down with pity. "I know this will sound very paranormal, but you're under arrest." "Under what charges?" everyone in the room screamed, including Lucas and Scully. "Poison soup." Mulder answered. Scully walked out of the court. She was the last one there except Mulder who was bashed up by everyone. "SCULLY!" he called in pain. "HELP!" Scully carried him into the case-car. She got in the drivers side. "Scully, I'm driving." Mulder said half dead. "Your in no condition." Scully said smiling. "Besides it's my turn. Look I can drive fine. Why don't you ever want me driving?" "I didn't know that your little feet could reach the pedals!" Mulder joked. Scully, who was not laughing, drove to Loris's house. Outside on the stairs was Mulder and Scully's bags! "We've been kicked out." Scully announced. "So we didn't solve that case, Scully." Mulder said driving back to Washington D.C. "Do we ever solve a case?" Scully asked sarcastically. "You know Scully, after all that I don't believe that they were having paranormal delusions." Mulder said smiling. "I believe we were!" "For once, Mulder, I agree with you!" THE END Written by Leigh Nuridin. My next three stories will be like a "mini series". I'm going to call it "Lucas lies again".
