Sam was driving. Dean was next to the window and I was in the middle, my head on Dean's shoulder.

"Ruby will meet us outside Cheyenne. She's been tracking some leads. I know she's not exactly on your Christmas list, but if she can help us get to Lilith-" Sam said.

"Hey, man, work with Ruby, don't. I don't really give a rat's ass." Dean said.

"What's your problem?" Sam asked.

"Pamela didn't want anything to do with this and we dragged her back into it, Sam." Dean said. I sat up straight, knowing this was another argument coming.

"She knew what was at stake." Sam said.

"That makes it better?" I asked.

"Oh yeah. Saving the world. And we're doing such a damn good job of it." Dean said.

"Dean-" Sam started.

"I'm tired of burying friends, Sam." Dean said.

"Look, we catch a fresh trail-" Sam said.

"And we follow it, I know. Like I said, I'm just-I'm just getting tired." Dean said. He grabbed my hand, trying to calm himself.

"Well, get angry." Sam said.

We made it to another motel.

"Ah, home crappy home." Dean said.

"Why do we always end up in the creepiest motels? I swear, this room has seen more nightmares than dreams." I said.

Sam flipped on the lights.

"Winchester and Winchester and Miracle." Uriel said. Him and Castiel were waiting inside the room.

"Oh come on." Dean said.

"I'm going to shoot myself." I said.

"You are needed." Uriel said.

"Needed? We just got back from needed." I said.

"Now, you mind your tone with me." Uriel said.

"No, you mind your damn tone with us." I said.

"We just got back from Pamela's funeral." Sam said.

"Pamela. You know, psychic Pamela? You remember her. Cas, you remember her. You burned her eyes out. Remember that? Good times. Yeah, then she died saving one of your precious seals. So maybe you can stop pushing us around like chess pieces for five freaking minutes!" Dean said.

"We raised you out of hell for our purposes." Uriel said.

"Yeah, what were those again? What exactly did you want from me?" Dean asked.

"Start with gratitude." Uriel said.

"Oh." Dean said, annoyed.

"Dean, we know this is difficult to understand." Castiel said.

"And we-" Uriel started and gave Cas a look. "-don't care. Now, seven angels have been murder, all of them from our garrison. The last one was killed tonight." Uriel said.

"They unfortunately missed one." I said.

"Demons? How they doing it?" Dean asked.

"We don't know." Uriel said.

"I would love to know." I said. He glared at me.

"I'm sorry, but what do you want us to do about it? I mean, a demon with the juice to ice angels has to be out of our league, right?" Sam asked.

"We can handle the demons, thank you very much." Uriel said.

"You've been doing a great job so far." I said.
