Chapter 184-Red Sky At Morning

October 30th - November 3rd, 2007

Massachusetts

Dean had been a little short with Sam for the past couple of days. I wasn't really sure why, but I figured it had something to do with Sam trying to get him out of the deal, and Dean just didn't want to hear about it anymore.
We were on our way to our next case, and the car had been silent until Dean cleared his throat "so, I've been waiting since Maple Springs. You got something to tell me?" Dean asked, looking over at Sam. Uh oh, this has got to be good. I was finally going to figure out why he had been acting weird to Sam. The anticipation built as waited for Sam to respond.

"It's not your birthday." Sam smirked "no." Dean said as he shook his head "happy Purim? Dude, I don't know. I have no idea what you're talking about-." Sam said "there's a bullet missing from the Colt. You want to tell me how that happened? I know it wasn't me. Wasn't you, was it?" Dean asked as I shook my head "yeah, I figured. 'Cause you wouldn't do something like that. So, unless you were shooting at some incredibly evil cans-." Dean said "Dean-." Sam sighed "you went after her, didn't you? The crossroads demon. After I told you not to." Dean said "yeah, well-." Sam shrugged.

"You could have gotten yourself killed!" Dean shouted "I didn't." Sam said as he shook his head "and you shot her." Dean said "she was a smartass!" Sam yelled "so, what? Does that....does that mean I'm out of my deal?" Dean sighed "don't you think I might have mentioned that little fact, Dean? No. Someone else holds the contract." Sam asked "who?" Dean asked "she wouldn't say." Sam replied "well, we should find out who. Of course, our best lead would be the crossroads demon.
Oh, wait a minute..." Dean said sarcastically.

"That's not funny." Sam said "no, it's not! It was a stupid friggin' risk, and you shouldn't have done it." Dean scolded "I shouldn't have done it? You're my brother, Dean. And no matter what you do, I'm gonna try and save you. And I'm sure as hell not gonna apologize for it, all right?" Sam said as Dean was silent, and Sam shook his head in exasperation. I took a deep breath, happy that the conversation was over but angry because now saving Dean was going to be even harder.

[.......]
Sam and Dean acted as detectives to talk to the aunt of a young woman who had drowned in the shower. Since drowning in the shower isn't necessarily an ordinary thing, we knew something was strange about the incident.
However, as I waited in the car for them to return, a familiar face crossed the street right in front of me. One that I was not excited to see, so I ducked down before Bela saw me.
Not that it would be super helpful with the car that we have. I peered over the seat to see if she had spotted the car, but when I did, she was standing next to Dean's window smiling at me as I rolled my eyes and groaned.

"Nice to see you too, darling. Could you unlock the door for me?" Bela asked, sounding very proper with her British accent as I shook my head "yeah, I'm gonna have to go with a no." I said "have it your way." She said as she pulled out a long skinny piece of metal and started jamming it down between the window and the door "hey! You're gonna scratch the window!" I shouted "you chose the hard way." She said "aren't you supposed to be like a master thief or something? You couldn't have brought a lockpick? That giant metal thing isn't necessarily inconspicuous." I said.

"Aw, I'm so proud. Such big words for a child raised by buffoons." Bela teased, still jamming the metal in the door "will you stop doing that?" I asked her "then let me in." She said as the metal made a loud squeaking sound against the glass. Which was loud enough to make my teeth hurt "ugh, god. Fine, just stop doing that." I groaned "ah, thank you. That wasn't so hard, was it?" She said "I mean, honestly, it hurt a little, but seeing you do that to this car and knowing you weren't going to stop hurt more. We all have to make sacrifices." I shrugged.
