The Rebel Angels, Part 1 of ? by Lady Disdain 
<The_Lady_Disdain@mailcity.com>

 I remember the morning I saw my rebel angels so 
clearly. A person goes through millions of days in 
their life and only remember events from a relative 
few. But at the time it felt so damn important. We 
watch far too many hours of television and again only 
a few shows really stick to our mind. But at the time 
it seems imperative that we watch it. You could say 
that by chance or fate I remembered what happened and 
what I what I watched that morning. I prefer fate.

 It was cold in my house that June morning. Well it 
always is. I suspect that my dad is really a popsicle 
and that if we put the temperature above 75 degrees 
he'll melt. So as insane as it sounds I had on a 
sweatshirt in June.

 I had finals in Biology and Math that morning, I 
probably should have been studying cellular 
respiration while I ate breakfast. I don't remember 
the formulas for cellular respiration anymore but I 
do remember that I was fighting a greater enemy at 
the time.

 My own mouth. I had been a vegetarian for almost six 
months and got overconfident with my own willpower. I 
made the bold statement to all my friends that I 
would cut out dairy products over the summer.

 So that morning I was having a standoff with soy 
milk rather that cramming for exams. It had been 
pretty expensive so I promised my reluctant father 
that I would drink every last drop of it. God, I'm an 
idiot.

 It looked like milk, sort of. The color wasn't as 
white and the texture was thinner. As for the taste, 
well, lets just say I gritted my teeth and prayed 
that I would get used to it. (I would later discover 
the miracle that is chocolate soymilk, yummy.)

 My dad broke me out of my reverie when he turned the 
news on. His hearing is sort of going so he puts the 
volume way up. 

 A man and a woman were shown on the television. They 
struck an odd pair, him being so tall and she so 
short. It was their eyes that struck my memory, they 
looked haunted and tired with lines creasing their 
foreheads. They were certainly not the usual people 
in the lighter side of the news spotlight.

 They had been arrested for practicing medicine 
without a license. It had come out that they were 
vaccinating people against an alleged 'alien 
sickness', free of charge in D.C. The reporters were 
rather amused by the pair's press statement and had 
trouble reading from it with a straight face.

"Mr. Mulder and Ms. Scully are both former FBI agents 
and say that they were abducted by aliens. Ms. Scully 
was taken by a malevolent race that the government is 
cooperating with while Mr. Mulder was abducted by a 
benevolent race which helped them produce the vaccine 
in such large quantities. They also made the 
statement that "'the time is near.'"" The reporter's 
lips trembled slightly, "They are out on $5,000 bond. 
Back to you John."

 My father muttered, "Idiots." as he shook his head 
and went back to eating his cereal.

 I went to school and took my exams all the while the 
image of the two former FBI agents plagued me.

 Two weeks later the it was reported that the two had 
skipped bail but the authorities weren't bothering to 
look for them. The country was paralyzed with a 
greater fear than two 'alien fanatics' out on the 
loose. An epidemic of unknown origins had struck St. 
Louis. The entire city was being quarntined. I left 
for D.C. the next day.
