𝐗𝐗𝐈𝐗

Dean Winchester drove all the way downtown, meeting an address from Jeffrey. It was an abandoned warehouse, so he checked his phone. He groaned, "Damn it-- no service." Jeffery gave a bag of beef jerky to his dog and commanded it to stay, then he met the driver's eyes for concern. He asked him, "Thing's not gonna pee in here, is it?"

"I don't know."

Dean looked in the distance with a regrettable face, then he shook his head. Karina Leone looked at her phone screen, hoping he texted her before the service was out. He didn't. Sighing heavily before she heard her name, she put her phone in her pocket before getting out of the car. She met Dean and Jeffrey outside of the car, "So, he'd get you this far, and then he'd shut your lights out, yeah?"

"For some reason, he was very secretive about this place. But after a while, he'd only really sort of cover my eyes when we walked in."

"Okay, you think you can get us back there?"

Without answering the question, Jeffery offered his arm to Dean before he touched his shoulder as he closed his eyes. He guided all of them to the back of the building while Karina kept her eyes between them. Her eyes led in suspicion for some reason, maybe it was all too easy for any of them. He guided them inside with their flashlights, leading to the red door.

They entered the main level of the warehouse, seeing all the supplies, tools, and power lines everywhere. They all noticed there were red painted sigils on the windows. Karina ordered Jeffery to stay in the corner before she unshielded Ariel's blade, then she looked at Dean as he was already holding a demon's blade.

They both searched at every corner until they all saw a man chained up in a chair with a duct tape covering his mouth. He was covered in blood with bruises and scars, then they looked at Jeffery before turning on the hostage. Walking silently to the man before he touched the chains while she was checking his pulse from his left wrist. The blood pressure was a little low, but it got higher when he started screaming behind the tape.

While Dean was trying to calm him down, Karina noticed his eyes were over their shoulders. She turned, meeting Jeffery with a syringe on her neck. His eyes looked inside of her soul as she whispered a name, "...Dean..." She collapsed on the ground, becoming unconscious.

Her eyes slowly blinked as her sight was a little blurry, then she met a man in the chair in front of her. Turning to her left, meeting her friend who was slowly waking up as her. They both tried to shift their bodies, but the ropes latched around their wrists tightly. Dean called out, "Jeffery?"

They turned to the other side, seeing Jeffery petting his dog. The dog was eating the food out of the bowl without a cone, "Good. You're up."

"What happened? What's going on?"

"We had been tricked, Dean. That's what's going on," inferred Karina. Her face showed that she figured everything out as she smiled out of shame, "It was you all along, was it? You killed those women."

"You're always the quickest one in the group, Huntress.. I thought I wasn't outshined by you, but I guess I was a good actor, right? No one asked you guys to get involved, to save me, save anyone."

"Excuse me?"

Jeffery pulled a table toward him in the center of the room as he asked them, "Did you ever think that maybe I loved being possessed? Did you? I loved the connection, the power. And I loved him. Love of my life, actually."

"Okay, this is not what I expected, ugh," commented Karina.

"He liberated me-- started me on my true mission." Jeffery poured lighter fuel on the bowl with coal, then he looked at her. "You are right, Karina... I did kill those women. I was nothing before he found me-- a shadow too scared to do what I was brought here to do. Too timid to live up to my true potential."
