Being Alone (D. Winchester)

Finding Cas

CONVENIENCE STORE - NIGHT.

We walked out of the store and heading back to the car, Dean was carrying a bag of groceries. Sam was holding a plastic container with pie inside.

Sam " Look at these chemicals. Do you even read the label? "

Dean snatched it and put it back in the bag" No. I read "pie". The rest is just "blah, blah, blah". Listen, when we hit Detroit, we start with the homeless shelters. "

Sam nodded "Right, then go to the encampments, soup kitchens. "

I nodded "Check out places that he might have gone looking for work. "

Sam nodded "Yeah, and I can - I can check for vagrancy arrests. "

Someone was following us.

Dean "Yeah, and, you know... "

He Mimed a head exploding"Odd deaths. "

We walked around a corner.

The guy followed us.

I was right.

Sam and Dean slammed him up against a chain link fence, an angel blade and Ruby's knife against his throat.

Sam "Who are you?! "

Dean "Why are you trailing us?"

ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - NIGHT.

The Reapers' wrists are cuffed to an overhead beam.

Dean " So, Maurice. You bounty hunters are like Delta Force reapers. Why would they sic you on Cas? "

Maurice "He warded himself. "

Me "Naomi hire you?

He chuckled " You really are out of the loop. Naomi's dead. Resting in pieces. "

Sam "So then who's running things now? "

Maurice just looked at us.

Dean yelled "Answer! "

Maurice "Her protégé, Bartholomew. He's an up-and-comer. "

Sam "So he figured we'd lead you to Cas. "

Dean "This Bartholomew, he organizing the angels? "

Marice didn't answer.

Dean slashed him with the angel blade again.

Maurice groaned in pain "That's all I know. "

Dean put the tip of the blade to Maurice's throat.

Maurice "You can kill me. It won't matter. If I don't find Castiel, there are others that will. But do what you want. "

Dean nodded "Sure. "

Then he pushed the blade through Maurice's throat and killed him. .

At a parking lot. Morning.

Dean pulled the car to a stop.

I asked worried "What's up? "

Dean "We've been chasing our tails all night. No Cas. "What's up?" I'm fried. I think it's time for plan B. "

Sam "I'm not following. "

Dean turned to Sam and said " I'm letting you know. "

He was trying to get Ezekiel to show himself.

Sam nodded confused "O-okay. Um, letting me know what? "

Dean said stronger "I'm letting you know. "
