As Ready As I'll Ever Be

Katelyn's POV

"So, let me get this straight. You want to convince Sam to help us by breaking into his apartment in the middle of the night?" I ask. Dean huffs as we walk up to Sam's apartment. He nods his head.

"Brilliant plan. And as a way to put salt on this glorious wound, let's steal some of his money!" I sarcastically announce. Dean huffs in annoyance. "You know you didn't have to come along with me."

I try to give him a sarcastic quip, but his words stumped me. He's right, I could have easily just stayed back at that diner, but I didn't. And I know the reason, it's because he asked me to come. I know that if anyone else called me, I wouldn't have come.

He smirks at my silence as we climb the fire escape to Sam's place. We finally make it to his window. I try to open it but I struggle. Dean let's out a laugh and I give him a glare. He nudges me to the side and opens the window. "Ladies first." He says mockingly. I roll my eyes, but head inside. As I brush myself off, I hear Dean enter. Damn he's loud. "Great job on being quiet. I thought we were just getting Sam, not trying to wake up the entire complex." I say. He grumbles as he walks around. I smirk and stand in a corner, hearing footsteps from the hall.

Suddenly, I hear Dean groan as he's tackled to the ground by the one and only Sam. After a while of rolling around, fighting, Dean pins Sam to the ground. "Easy there Tiger ." He says

"Dean?"

"And Katelyn." I say, making my presence known.

"Katey! What are you both doing here?" He asks as they both get off the ground, using my old nickname.

"Oh just for a little visit." I say.

"We need to talk." Dean says seriously.

"On the phone?" Sam questioned.

"If we would have called, would you have picked up?" I ask.

Sam looks down, seemingly in thought, when the lights suddenly turn on. Standing in the hallway was a blonde girl wearing a pair of pajamas. "Sam?" She asks.

"Jess, hey! Dean, Katey, this Jess. My girlfriend." Sam says. A girlfriend!? How much did I miss?

"Wait. Dean, your brother? And Katey, your best friend?" She asks. "It's Katelyn, actually, and it's nice to meet you." I say. She nods at me with a smile. Dean starts to flirt with her, causing me to get angry. Why does he have to act like that around every girl? I slap his arm. "Seriously, we gotta borrow your boyfriend, talk about some family business." I say.

As Jess goes to leave, Sam grabs her arm gently. "No, whatever you need to say, you can say it in front of her,"

"Okay, um, Dad hasn't been home in a few days." Dean says.

"So, he's working overtime on a Miller-time shift. He'll stumble back sooner or later." Sam tries to reason.

I just want this over and done with. "John's on a hunting trip...and he hasn't been home in a few days." I say, curtly.

"Jess, would you please excuse us. We have to go outside." Sam says quickly.

"I mean, come on. The two of you can't break in the middle of the night and expect me to hit the road with you." Sam says following us out the fire escape. "You're not hearing me Sammy. Dad's been missing, and I need you to help me find him." Dean pleads.

"Ahem!" I scoff. Dean looks at me with an apologetic look. "And of course, I needed you help too, Katey." He says, trying to make me feel better. I roll my eyes as Sam continues.
