Being Alone (D. Winchester)

Martin Going Mad

At GUIDRY'S CAJUN CAFE.

Dean and i walked inside and sat down at the counter.

The woman behind the counter put the menu in front of us.

Dean " Actually, I already know what I want. "

She looked at us, holding a can of coffee "Let me guess – gumbo? "

Dean chuckled "Was gonna be the gumbo till I saw... "

He looked at the pie that was standing on the end of the counter "...pie. "

Woman said seductively "Well, the special's pecan.

Dean returned smirked "'Course it is. Let's do that. "

I rolled my eyes as she walked away.

Dean eyed me amused "What?"

I shook my head "nothing"

Suddenly his eyes landed on something behind me. A photo of the woman and Benny was pinned against the wall.

The woman walked back to us " Bad news. "

Dean "You're out of pecan. Story of my life. Uh, that's all right. Maybe you can make it up to me. I'm actually looking for an old friend of mine. I heard he's kicking around these parts. His name's Roy. "

She nodded "Well, Roy works the night shift here. I mean, if we're talking about the same Roy. "

Dean "Uh, yeah, he, uh, putts around in a – a beat-up camper. Thing looks like a rolling death trap. "

She giggled "yeah, I thought I was the only one who gave him trouble over that piece of junk."

Dean smiled "You wouldn't happen to know where he's parking that thing these days, would you? "

She thought about it "Well, he, uh, was parking it out back, but just called to tell me he's gone up the road to Mill Creek for a few days. "

Dean nodded "Okay. Uh, did he say why? "

She shrugged "Oh... fishing, I think. He really deserves a break. He's been working doubles for the last two weeks straight. "

Dean "Um, listen, I, uh, I tell you what."

He writes something down on a paper and shoved it over to her " If he pops up before I can find him, you do me a favor and just have him give me a buzz. Or... ...could just drop a dime yourself."

He smiled.

The woman looked at it "Sure thing..Dean."

Dean stood up " And, uh, you are...? "

Woman "Elizabeth. "

Dean "Elizabeth. All right. Take a rain check on that pie. "

She nodded "Definitely. "

Then he and i walked out.

Dean took his phone out and called Benny "Benny. I got a body here in Carencro with two holes in it, and I just found out you went fishing. Do I need to tell you what this looks like? "

Then he hung up.

I looked at Dean "Dean"

He turned to me.

Me "since when do you just hand over your phone number to other woman in front of me?"

Dean put an arm around my shoulders amused and pulled me to him  "it's the job, babe, relax"

I rolled my eyes.

In the woods.
