The Winchester Sister

Chapter 25 - My Bloody Valentine

I wait in the Impala outside St. Jame's Medical Center for Sam and Dean to finish looking at the bodies for the double suicide. I tap my foot impatiently. I just want to go for a run.

I notice Sam and Dean walk out with Cas. Huh? Must be Angel related then. They all get into the Impala. "Hey, Cas."

"Hello, Ashlee." Cas greets in the familiar guttural voice. 

"I assume the case somehow links to Angels?" I ask and Cas nods. 

"It's a Cherub that's caused this." Cas answers. "Sam found an Enochian symbol meaning 'union' on the hearts of the victims. They were mates."

"Okay, so, we need to catch the Cherub." Dean adds on. 

"Well, if a Cherub is looking to kill couples who have been marked with a symbol of 'union' then we need to go where couples go near to Valentine's Day." Silence follows and I roll my eyes. "A restaurant, guys. A restaurant."

"Oh." All 3 of them sound. Brothers. 

"Nearest restaurant is a mile away in that direction." I point behind me. "It had that whole, not that fancy but you should wear neat clothing which I am not."

"Throw on a dress from your rucksack. It's down by your feet." Sam points out. 

"You're here." I protest. 

"We won't be looking at you." Sam insists with a look of exasperation thrown my way. Damn, out numbered. I rummage through my bag for a dress. I pick out a red dress with a floral design. It came to about my mid-thigh but it would have to do. I quickly change into it and sigh. Fuckin' back zippers are a pain. 

"Cas, can you do the zip up for me?" I ask and Cas nods, and pulls the zipper up. "Thanks." I pick out my knee high 3 and 1/2 inch boots, and put them on. Let's see how well I remember to walk in heeled boots. "Am I presentable now?"

"Only just." Sam teases me and I snort. 

"At least my tie isn't wrong." I reply. 

"What's wrong with my tie?" Sam questions with a frown. 

"Turn around." I state and he does so. I re-tie his tie and tighten it more than it was before. "Much better." Dean parks the car and we all get out. We make our way into the restaurant which was packed with people. 

"Hey, table for 4, please?" Dean greets the waitress who looks up and starts to smirk. I swear to God if Dean even thinks about hooking up, I'm gonna shoot him. The waitress takes us to our table and within 20 minutes, we have drinks and food. Dean went for the cheeseburger and Sam went for a salad, as they always do. I got enchiladas filled with chicken, cheese, beans and a variety of vegetables with a side of tortilla chips and guacamole. Basically, Heaven. I happily start eating my food. "So, Ash, how did you happen to figure out he likes the cosmos at this place?" I look up, sheepishly with food in my mouth and slowly chew it. 

"This place is a nexus of human reproduction." Cas answers for me. "It's exactly the kind of-" He pauses for a moment and I frown. He apparently really likes the look of Dean's burger. "Of garden the Cupid will come to-to pollinate." I widen my eyes as Dean puts his burger back of his plate. 

"Wait a minute. You're not hungry?" Sam questions Dean in disbelief. 

"No." Dean answers and Dean looks at our faces. "What? I'm not hungry."

"Then you're not gonna finish that?" Cas asks and Dean shakes his head before Cas takes the cheeseburger. "He's here."

"Where?" Sam replies."I don't see anything."
