Supernatural Death Note

Chapter Eighty-Nine: How are We Doing This?

"The colt is here. We should get moving."

They headed back to the dining room. "Not til I know a few things. We're not going in blind, Cas."

"Near is working on getting surveillance set up; Sam if you will go up there and assist him?" L had obviously taken advantage of the time apart. He and the boys were already geared to go.

Dean's duffles were sitting on the dining room floor. He sat down beside them and checked every weapon. "Cas, where is this gonna be? I need a schematic of the building and the surrounding areas."

Castiel listed an area that wasn't too far from the church. L looked at the camera, knowing Near was working on it now.

By the time Sam got up there, Near was sitting in his usual position in a chair, headset on and fingers flying over the keyboard.

"That's awful close, Cas. With everything Ryuuzaki has done, is it possible either the Satanists or the demons can get in there? I don't want to worry about two places right now. One at a time. I know the interior of the church. What kind of building is she in?"

"An abandoned warehouse, ten miles south of it," he told him. "Ryuuzaki's upgrades to the church will keep them out for a while. Unless they're carrying explosives."

"Which will bring the building down," Matt pointed out. "So bit of an idiotic move that."

"Depends on how powerful and where you plant them. This warehouse? Is it a storage type warehouse? How big? How many stories? What's in it?"

"I don't know what's in it."

Near's voice came over the loudspeaker. "Seven stories with an office at the top. The warehouse used to contain fireworks or so the official report states."

"You've got to be kidding me? Fireworks? Cas, what floor is she on? How many demons does she have with her? We don't have the time to clear out seven floors of demons. Just zap us to the right floor but not in front of her. Be ready to zap us to the church."

"I wasn't able to get close enough to find out."

"Matt will boot the laptop; Near will pull up the schematics now." Matt did just that, letting Near take over the computer remotely from upstairs.

Dean watched the schematics on the computer. "Damn rat's maze." When the schematics for the fifth floor appeared, Dean stared hard. "Hold a minute. What the hell is that on there?"

Ben had weaseled his way into the group and looked at the drawing. "It's a carousel," he commented.

"What?" Dean stared again. "Can you enlarge that?"

Seconds later, the image enlarged. L was staring at it as well. "I do not believe this was used for fireworks storage."

"No, I don't either. It's definitely a carousel. Indoor amusement park?"

Sam's voice responded. "Three bets she's in her favorite meat suit type again."

"Yeah, so what the hell do I do? She doesn't take the souls of the kids. She leaves them in there. I don't want to kill..." Dean looked down and saw Ben listening intently. He looked up. "Lisa, would you and Sarah take Ben and maybe watch a movie or something with him? Please?"

The two girls nodded, and Matt told them were the entertainment room was that had the large screen TV. It would keep Ben occupied for hours.

Once alone, the group looked at each other. L spoke up. "I know you do not wish to, Dean. Is there a way to force her to take another host?"
