Holy smokes

Chapter 6

He really hated autopsy reports, but at least he didn't get sick over them like Sammy. Currently he was looking at the autopsy report for Jemma Riggs while they waited on the ones for Karen Mayhill. Arcadia had phoned one of her contacts who said they would send it over as soon as it was published.

"Do you think someone is collection angel grace?" Arcadia said from by her laptop.

"It's possible especially as the victims were angel vessels." Sammy replied from the book shelf, "there is a way to get angel grace out of the vessel by using an angel blade on the neck."

"Kind of like this?" Arcadia said from over his shoulder while she was looking at the pictures in his hand. She pointed to mark on the neck.

"Yeah. So someone is stealing angel grace?" He looked up, "no wonder we couldn't find any EMF or sulphur in the house." Arcadia looked at him ashamed,

"Truthfully I didn't look in the first victims' house for that. I was too focussed on the pentagram and hex bags." She said turning away, "dammit you think after all these years I would've checked first."

Walking up behind her he rubbed her shoulders, "It happens." She pulled away and looks at him with tears in her eyes,

"Not to me, I was too focussed on finding you to pay attention to detail." She started walking away, "I'm going to bed." He watch her leave and felt a sense of guilt. A flutter of wings caused Dean to turn before he could even follow her.

"Another angel vessel has been killed." Cas said as he appeared in front of Dean.

"Where?" He asked him,

"Becker Street." Grabbing my keys he looked at my younger brother

"Let's go. Sammy get Arcadia. Cas stay here with Lacey and jack. See if you can pinpoint any more angel vessels in the area and talk to them."

"So..." Arcadia said from beside Dean, Sammy decided to sit in the back. "We have another one."

"Yep." He said as he peered at the road out of the windscreen.

"How on earth are we going to stop these killings when they seem to be one step ahead of us?"

"Cas is going to talk to the other angel vessels, see if we can warn them." Sammy spoke up from the back seat,

"Also Lacey just text, her and Jack are looking over all the texts books to see if there is some ritual that will give an angel back his grace."

"But Cas got his grace back and he didn't need any ritual so I don't understand why they would do this?" Sammy asked.

"Maybe it's different for Lucifer; he is the son of god. Maybe it takes an extra bit of mojo." Arcadia replied as she pulled her knees up so she could rest her chin on them in thought.

"Maybe we will see what Lacey and Jack come up with." Dean said as they pulled next to the latest victims' house - Godfrey Macintosh. As they got out of the car someone bumped into Arcadia,

"Oh I'm sorry honey." Said the woman who looked about 60 years old.

"No problem ma'am." Arcadia replied before she walked up to the house.

She saw the sheriff from the last scene.

"Well hello little lady. You feds are quick on the draw." She smiled a 100 watt smile at him and Dean felt his blood boil. Even though she was just being polite he didn't want her to look at anyone else that way.

"Well I have my sources. Are we ok to go in?" The sheriff took off his hat and signalled to the house,

"Make sure you put booties and gloves on, we are still processing the scene." Nodding she led the way while he and Sammy trailed behind her.

"I think you've got a fan." Dean said to her lightly as they entered the house.

"Shut it Winchester." She said under her breath causing him to chuckle. She sounded just like a kitten growling.
