[Pullman, Seattle. Days Inn, Rm 1013]

Docker sat at his laptop looking at where all of the groups in the X-files were at. Tango had just been called back and he had taken care of Lisa Anders for now. Soon he'd have to fly back to D.C. and pay Ms. Anders a little visit, but not before he visited his wife and child down in Los Angeles. They were a complete secret from everyone and they were the main reasons why he was recently having a change of heart. Soon it would be time to hang up his gun and get out of this biz and relocate to someplace that no one would be able to touch them. God knows that he had built up his share of enemies over the years and if they ever found out about his family..... Docker shook his head, not wanting to think about it. Just then, something caught his eye. With a grin, Docker picked up his phone and dialed.

[Miami, Kate's room]

Just as Kate was about to get out of bed, her cell phone rang. Hoping that it might be Josh, she reached over and answered it.

[Good morning, sunshine. Had a nice rest?]

"Docker." Kate hissed, recognizing his voice. "What do you want?"

[I see you're working in Miami on several strange rape cases. No sperm, but a bunch of pregnancies. With your ex-husband too.... how ironic.]

"Keeping tabs on us, are you?" Kate answered. "I didn't know you cared."

[I like to know where my enemies are. Anyways, expect an email soon. I'm sure you'll find it real interesting.]

"What's your angle, Docker?" Kate asked. "Why are you helping us?"

[I enjoy a good story like anyone else. I have a feeling that this one will take on a life of its own. I would ask that ex of yours where he really went that summer before you conceived Dillon.]

"He was in San Francisco on business."

[or so he said.] a low chuckle came over the line that made Kate feel cold. [goodbye Kate.... and good luck.]

Kate listened as Docker cut the connection on her. Docker's words ran through her mind... "With your ex-husband too.... how ironic." What the hell was that supposed to mean?

Taking out her laptop, she plugged it into the hotel phone jack and retrieved all email she received. The most recent came from Docker with an AOL account and it contained only an attachment. Opening it, Kate saw that it was an old photo of 5 men with a caption under it that said, "Project Immaculate Conception". Looking closer, she saw that the 2nd person from the left was none other than Paul Moran.
