Supernatural Death Note

Chapter One: Between Hunts

Dean put a key into the lock of the motel room door and opened it, carrying several bags.

Sam looked up from his laptop and stared at his brother for a few minutes. "You were gone a long time. You stop at a bar again?"

"No, Sam, I got food, and a few other things. This is the first time in months that we actually don't have a hunt. I thought we could relax a couple of days before we take another one."

Sam looked unhappy at the thought. "Not if I can get a line on Lilith, Dean."

Dean placed the bags on the table. "We sure as hell can, Sammy. We've been going steady for months. You keep disappearing, and you don't want to tell me what's going on. That's fine if that's what you want, but we are taking a few days off. There's no argument. That means no angels, no demons. Got that."

Before a comment could be made, Sam's laptop screen shifted before going white. A gothic L was imposed on the empty screen.

"What the hell is that, Sammy? You been hacked? Tell me you aren't hacked? You're too good at protecting that thing."

Sam stared at the L wondering what had just screwed up his life even more.

A computerized voice filled the air. "Dean and Sam Winchester, purported hunters of the supernatural, I am L."

Sam leaned back in disgust, staring at his laptop. Dean was leaning over the table, a look of shock on his face. "What the hell is an L?"

"He's a detective, Dean. He is known world wide as one of the best. He's also very reclusive, and don't ask me, because I have no idea what he's doing in my computer."

"He said we were purported hunters of the supernatural, Sammy. Who the hell does think he is?"

"The guy who hacked my computer, Dean."

"There is a case where I have been summoned, but there are..issues where your expertise will be useful."

"Well, you think you know about us? Exactly what expertise are you talking about? What issues, buddy?"

"Calm down, Dean, before he destroys my computer."

"Both of you were raised to be hunters by a father who had issues with revenge. Said father disappeared about the time Dean was hospitalized after a car accident. Hospital records indicate that the recovery was astounding considering the staff had commented that the survival rate was incredibly low. Government records also show skills that are unusual considering you two have no military background. Need I continue or should I email the files I have on you two to your brother's computer?"

"There's no need to send the files. I don't know if the email program can hold it all. I know my laptop memory can't. Not on both of us," Sam murmured.

"What the hell are you doing, Sam? What do you want with us, 'L'?"

"I will send you the address of where the case is taking place. My subordinates will meet you there and give you the rest of the information required."

"No! I don't give a damn that you're some famous recluse. You want our help, we don't meet with your subordinates. We meet with you and talk to you. It don't work the other way, 'L'."

"Impossible."

"There's nothing in this world that's impossible. I've seen it all. You meet us face to face, or no go."

"The address has been sent. It would be best if the two of you took advantage of this opportunity. Your rooms have been reserved already."

"Turn the computer off, Sam. I'm not being ordered anywhere by someone who won't meet me face to face. I sure as hell am not taking orders from someone I don't know. Turn it off."
