3 Dead in the Water: Part 3

Once we packed up our stuff, we hit the road and started to leave the town. As we drove, Sam and Dean had told me about some of the information they had found out. The thing that had been killing people was the angry spirit of a boy named Peter. They had found out that Bill Carlton had something to do with his death when they were kids, which was why the ghost was going after Bill and his family.

We were sitting at a traffic light when it turned green, but Dean didn't make a move. It was clear that something was on his mind.

"Green," Sam said, confused.

"What?" Dean asked.

"Light's green," Sam repeated.

Dean finally started to move the car and took a turn to the right.

"Uh, the interstate's the other way," Sam said, sounding slightly annoyed.

"I know," Dean said.

"Where are we going?" I asked as I sat up.

"Something just doesn't feel right," Dean said.

Sam interjected, "But Dean, this job, I think it's over."

Dean shook his head. "I'm not so sure."

"If Bill murdered Peter Sweeney and Peter's spirit got its revenge, case closed. The spirit should be at rest," Sam said, trying to convince Dean that we should leave.

"All right, so what if we take off, and this thing isn't done?" Dean asked, "Ya know, what if we've missed something? What if more people get hurt?"

"But why would you think that?" Sam asked.

Dean looked over at Sam. "Because Lucas was really scared."

"That's what this is about?" Sam asked.

"I just don't want to leave this town until I know the kid's okay," Dean said.

"Who are you? And what have you done with my brother?" Sam chuckled.

Dean glanced at Sam. "Shut up."

When we parked in front of Andrea's house, we all got out and walked up to the door.

"Are you sure about this? It's pretty late, man," Sam said.

Dean rang the doorbell, and as soon as he pulled his finger away, Lucas opened the door. He looked terrified, he was panting and then ran away upstairs.

"Lucas? Lucas!" Dean yelled, chasing after him.

Sam and I took off after them, chasing Dean and Lucas up the stairs. There was water pouring down them, which was coming out from under a closed door. Lucas ran to the door and started pounding on it. Dean ran up to Lucas and pulled him out of the way, pushing him toward Sam, and then he kicked the door in. Sam ran into the bathroom as soon as the door opened, and Dean ran over and held Lucas. I stayed out of the way so they could help Andrea and Lucas as fast as they could. Andrea was in the bathtub being held under dark cloudy water by something. Sam struggled with the spirit to pull her up.

Finally, he was able to get her out, but when he did, he collapsed onto the floor, pulling Andrea on top of him. Andrea was coughing up water, but she was alive.

I sat in the living room with Sam as he asked Andrea about what had happened.

"Can you tell me?" Sam asked.

"No." She shook her head, still shaken up. "It doesn't make any sense." She started to cry. "I'm going crazy." She put her face in her hands.
