Supernatural: Betrayal

Chapter 9

Dean had put the executioner in the jail cell. He was watching the clock which read 11:50.

"Never been late in your damn life, Sam, and now you're dragging ass."

"So this is your big plan, huh? Just let me rot in here until Finch come," the executioner said pacing in his cell.

"Pretty much. Why's he gunning for you anyway?"

"I guess you missed the part where we hung him?"

"No, I'm thinking to a thing like Finch, that's no big whoop. He would've just blown town, but he came back. That seemed personal."

"Tell you what, you let me out of here, we'll talk."

"No can do," Dean replied. Suddenly, Dean heard the door close. He turned around to find Elias Finch standing in front of the door.

"Open that cell," he commanded.

"Open it yourself. You melt people's faces off. I bet you got the juice to tear that apart easy," Dean said turning towards the table, "Unless you can't; Just like you couldn't break those cuffs when they strung you up." Dean threw the nail he found at Finch who caught it. The skin of Finch's hand then began to sizzle. He dropped the nail to the ground and scolded at Dean. Dean smiled, "Iron nail, iron bars, iron shackles. See a pattern? Don't worry. Most creatures I've met can't get it up for iron. It's a common monster problem."

"So you're a hunter," Finch said.

"Slash sheriff," Dean said, showing his star.

"You know what this son of a bitch did?" Dean looked at the clock; 11:55.

"Do tell," Dean said.

"I was married to a woman. A good woman, human." Finch started walking towards the cell, "We lived outside of town, didn't bother anyone."

"Sure, a freak with a heart of gold," Dean said.

"You wanna call me a monster, fine. But all we did was go into town. I go into the bank for five minutes, I come out, she's gone. And then I heard her scream. This man had her pinned in the alley. I go to stop him, he pulls his gun, shoots me then her. She died in my arms. Of course, I don't die. The shots brought the sheriff, next thing I know I'm in iron. That's why I want him just where he is. Trapped, scared. I saved the best for last."

"Is that true," Dean asked. The executioner looked and Dean and smiled awkwardly.

"So tell me, are you really willing to die to protect this piece of filth?"

"Honestly, I could care less about him. He's a liar and a coward. But this ain't about him, I know what you are."

Finch turned his head to look at Dean, "Really?"

"Yeah, so I gotta kill you."

"If you know what I am, then you know you can't." Finch then grabbed the gun off of the table and shot the executioner with it.

"Wow, I should've seen that coming," Dean said. Dean then turned and jumped out of the window and onto the walkway behind the jail. Dean got up and ran to the back of the building next to him. He heard shots being fired by Finch's gun. Dean hid behind then next building and drew his gun.

"Dean," someone said. Dean looked in front of him to see Sam running towards him.

"Sam, come on, come on. Where's Colt?"

"He's not coming," Sam replied.

"What?"

"But he sent this," Sam said, pulling the Colt out of his jacket. He handed it to Dean who gave him his old gun.

"Oh hello," Dean said to the gun, "all right. Go, go." Sam and Dean went around to the front of the buildings and into the middle of town. "Get out here, Finch," Dean yelled.

"What are you doing," Sam asked.

Dean ignored him, "Come on, let's do this!"

Finch then walked out from behind the jail and stopped in front of Dean about 50 yards from him, "so this is how you want to die? Fine." The bell started to toll. Dean knew he had to hurry. Dean pulled out his gun and fired. The shot hit Finch in the shoulder. Finch's body then started to catch on fire. Finch's body then fell to the ground leaving a pile of smoldering ash.

"Dean, hurry!" Sam yelled. The clock had only two tolls left before Cass would bring them home.

"There's no need to hurry," Faith said, "I'll be taking you home." Sam and Dean looked back at Faith.

"How in the hell are you..." Sam started.

"Cass told me about your plan after he put you here. Rachel turned on us...she's dead. I was forced to come here myself. Now hurry up, I hate this place." Dean took out the glass that would hold the ashes out of his pocket and walked over to Finch's ashes. He pushed the ashes into the bottle and when he was sure that the bottle was filled to its entirety, he walked back over to Faith and Sam.

Dean sighed, "I'm gonna miss this place. Let's go home." Faith put her hand on Sam andDean's forehead and then they were back at Bobby's.

******************************************************************************
"Thank god you're back," Cass said when they got home, "Did you get the ashes?"

"Oh yeah we got them," Dean answered.

"So what now," Sam asked.

"Dean and I are going to go make some bullets with that crap in it," Jo said, "Y'all want to kill Eve or not?" Dean smiled and followed Jo down the stairs into the cellar.

"How was Frontierland," Bobby asked Sam.

"Horrible, it was like something out of a movie," he replied. Sam took his hat off and set it on Bobby's desk. "I think I'm gonna go change," Sam announced.

"You should, you look like Clint Eastwood," Faith said, laughing. She watched Sam go up the stairs and turned to Cass. His wound from Rachel was almost healed; he would be ready to fight Eve when the time came. For the next few hours, everyone just relaxed except for Jo and Dean. They had enough phoenix ash for five shells. It was around 6:30 when Jo and Dean finally came up the cellar stairs with the shells ready to go.

"We ready," Bobby asked.

"Yeah," Dean answered, "whose coming?"

"It'll be me, you, Sam, Cass, and Bobby," Faith replied.

"What," Jo exclaimed.

"We need you to hold down the fort," Faith said.

"Yeah my mom can do that!"

"Not if she's spraying devil's trap and Enochian warding everywhere," Faith replied.

Jo sighed, "Fine, but next time, I'm coming."

Faith smiled, "fine!" Dean had grabbed his duffel bag and put the shells into it. Sam had come back down in his regular clothes; blue jeans and a blue and burgundy plaid shirt. Dean was wearing a blue shirt with a navy undershirt and blue jeans. Bobby was wearing blue jeans, a navy undershirt and a green vest that Faith hated. Cass was wearing his usual; full suit with a blue tie and a beige trench coat. Faith was the only one, in her opinion, going to kill Eve with style. She was wearing her leather pants and her hunting gear. Jo, however, had given her new heels which were red. They matched her eyes in a way that only she understood.

Dean sighed, "First stop, Mother-Of-Every-Monster-In-The-World-Land." Then they were gone.
