Supernatural Death Note

Chapter Three: Research

L took this time to speak. "Indeed. Now, I believe we should discuss where to go in regards to the case."

Dean nodded, looking at the laptop he had been loaned. "You got any files on everything that has been happening? I need to know times, places, dates, everything, even if it's tiny. Little things can give you the answer some times. This is bothering me because, I've never seen bodies messed up like this before."

Matt spoke up. "Folder labeled with the town name. All the data is there. We keep things organized."

Dean opened the folder on the computer and started reading. He looked up, "Could I get another cup of coffee. This is gonna take a while and alcohol is not a good idea right now. I need a clear head for this."

Watari placed a tray near Dean's elbow, complete with coffee, the condiments, and a pastry in case the other was hungry. L was at his own chair, sitting in his odd way, sucking on a lollipop as he read through a file on his laptop. Typing could be heard from the heirs as well.

Dean's serious face looked at the apple pie, and Watari saw something none of the others had experienced yet...the Dean Winchester charm. His eyes lit up and kindness showed in them, the laugh wrinkles showing, and there was a beautiful smile, as he murmured, "Thank you."

"I take it apple pie is your preferred sweet, Mr. Winchester?"

A large grin formed for a minute. "Hell, yes. Ever since I was a kid. We had some at a restaurant. Bobby let me have a slice all my own, and I didn't have to share it with Sammy. That was rare, you know. Best tasting thing I ever had. I like all pies but apple is my favorite."

The older man smiled, eyes twinkling mischievously. "Then I will ensure to keep some on hand for you."

Dean's eyes responded, then he said quietly, "Seriously? That would be awesome. I don't get to have it as much as I'd like. Thanks."

"Are there other foods you enjoy?" He was used to keeping food on hand at all hours.

"I enjoy a good breakfast for one thing. The meal you fixed tonight was fantastic. And, I love a good cheeseburger and fries. You have awesome coffee, good and strong. Thank you, but you don't need to bring anything for it because I drink it black. I do like a soda once in a while and bottled water. That's all I can think off. Thank you for asking."

Watari gave a small bow. "Part of my responsibilities is to take care of the detectives I am with. L and Mello are fairly easy to provide for. Please tell me if a craving should come your way."

Dean thanked him again, wondering what difficulties Watari had with Matt and Near. He ate a bite of the pie, his eyes closing again, in enjoyment. He held the coffee cup and went back to reading the history of the case. He began to frown as he read. "I can't think of a damn thing that meets this, but a lot of things escaped when Hell's Gate was opened. Could be something we haven't seen before. That's a damn scary thought. We need to back track to ancient legends and see what we can find. If this has never been seen, we are in deep shit."

Matt peered at Dean through his goggles. "Are there any online resources you typically use? I'm pretty good at research?"

"Sammy's laptop was brought in? Open it and he has a file that has all the sites. We've come up against some weird shit so far."

He nodded, scurrying after the computer. After a few moments, the teen made a face. "Slow."

L cleared his throat. "Not everyone has the advantages we do, Matt."

He winced. "Sorry."

Dean cleared his throat. "In our work, you don't get paid. That's the one reason we have criminal records for credit card fraud. We have to live to do the job. People are grateful but they damn well don't pay you. That was all we could afford."
