"You know what? You're right," Dean said "I'm not gonna kill her. I think slow torture's the way to go,"

"Dean, look, you got to relax," Sam argued.

"Relax? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'll relax. I can't believe she got another one over on us,"

"Wait, you're telling me you've dealt with Bela before and still haven't learned your lesson?" Katerina mused.

"Shut up," Dean huffed "What's your history with Bela anyway?"

Katerina's mind filtered back to scattered sheets and tons of wine. She smirked slightly at the memory "I'm afraid due to SHIELD confidentiality I'm not at liberty to say, and it's way above your paygrade,"

There was a knock on the door.

"Hello? Could you open up?" Bela asked on the other end of the door.

Katerina shook her head, not wanting to get entangled by the she devil's trickery. She rolled her eyes when the boys opened the door.

"Just let me explain," Bela sighed.

"I sold it." Bela admitted "I had a buyer lined up as soon as I knew it existed,"

Katerina smirked as Dean mimicked shooting Bela.

"So the reason for going to the charity was..." Sam wondered.

"She needed a cover," Katerina interrupted, having danced the same dance before with the brunette.

"You sold it to a buyer. Just go buy it back," Sam shrugged.

"It's halfway across the ocean." Bela revealed "I can't get it back in time,"

"In time for what?" Dean demanded.

Katerina tilted her head to the side as she observed Bela "You've seen the ship,"

Dean laughed "Wow, you know, I...I knew you were an immoral, thieving, con-artist bitch but when I thought my opinion couldn't get any lower..."

"What are you talking about?" Bela asked.

"We figured out the spirit's motive," Sam explained. He showed Bela a picture "This is the captain of our ship. The one who hung our ghost boy,"

"So?"

"So, they were brothers," Seraphine said. "Very Cain and Abel. So now our spirit, he's going after a very specific kind of target. People who've spilled their own family's blood,"

"There was Sheila who killed her cousin in a car accident. And the Warren brothers who murdered their father for the inheritance," Sam continued. "And now, you,"

"Oh, my God," Bela muttered.

"So, who was it, Bela?" Dean wondered. "Hmm? Who did you kill? Was it daddy? Your little sis, maybe?"

"It's none of your business,"

"No. Right. Well, have a nice life, you know, whatever's left of it," Dean grabbed his coat "Sam, Kat, let's go,"

Bela grabbed Katerina's arm "You can't just leave me here,"

"Watch us,"

"Please,"

Katerina looked away from Bela's pleading eyes.

"I need your help,"

"Our help?" Dean argued, "How could a couple of serial killers and an ex-SHIELD agent possibly help you?"

"Okay, that was harsh, I admit. But it doesn't warrant a death sentence,"

"That's not why you're gonna die," Sam admitted.

"What did you do, Bela?" Katerina questioned.

"You wouldn't understand," Bela claimed. "No one did. Never mind. I'll just do what I've always done. I'll deal with it myself,"

"You do realize you sold the only thing that could save your life," Dean pointed out.

"I'm aware,"

"Well..." Katerina admitted "Maybe not the only thing,"

Katerina helped Sam set up the ritual as the group all waited in the cemetery.

"Do you really think this is gonna work?" Bela questioned.

"Almost definitely not," Dean declared.

Before Katerina could retort a storm cloud appeared out of nowhere and it began to pour rain down on the supernatural hunters.

Katerina got her gun ready "Sam, you better start readin'," she said.

Sam sighed as he began reading from his book.

Katerina felt a shiver go up her spine and she knew it was not from the cold rain. She glanced over to see Bela nearly clinging to the other female "Stay close!" she saw the apparition of the ghost behind Dean "Behind you!"

Dean didn't have enough time to react as he was thrown against one of the many tombstones.

Katerina turned when Bela began to spew out water. "Bela?! Sam, read faster!"

The storm cleared as Sam finished reading.

The ghost turned to see the apparition of his brother standing before him. "You hanged me,"

"I'm sorry," The brother apologized.

"Your own brother,"

"I'm so sorry,"

The ghost ran into his brother causing both apparitions to disappear in a spray of water.

***

Katerina didn't even bother looking up when she heard the door of the house open as Bela walked in.

"You three should learn to lock your doors," Bela declared. "Anyone could just barge in,"

"Anyone just did," Katerina sassed. "Did you come to say goodbye or thank you?"

"I've come to settle affairs." Bela took out a stack of money "Giving the spirit what he really wanted, his own brother. Very clever, Kitty. So here," she threw the money on the table in front of the boys. "It's 10,000. That should cover it,"

The boys looked up at her in surprise.

"I don't like being in anyone's debt,"

Katerina scoffed "So ponying up ten grand is easier for you than a simple thank you?" she shook her head "You're so damaged,"

Bela walked closer to Katerina "Takes one to know one," she kissed Katerina.

Katerina couldn't help the way her arms automatically wrapped themselves around Bela's head as the kiss deepened, her eyes fluttering shut. She didn't even want to open them when it stopped.

"Goodbye, lads," Bela said as she left.

"She got style. You got to give her that," Sam said as Katerina felt her cheeks redden based on the look that Dean was currently giving her.

"I suppose," Katerina said clearing her throat.

Dean glanced down at his stack of money.

"You know, Dean, we don't know where this money's been," Sam argued.

"No..." Dean took Sam's pile "but I know where it's going,"
