The Family Business

Chapter Fourteen

Tom pulled up to the grocery store. His parking was not so great this time, probably because he seemed to be on a mission.

He hopped out of the car, and practically jog-walked into the store. As he went through the aisles, he searched for what he needed.

He bought a little chest, a couple of spices, and the groceries Bobby has asked for.

Once he got back in his car, he spoke to himself quietly, saying, "I can't believe I'm about to do this"

He turned onto a dirt road, and drove for about 10 minutes until he reached a crossroad. The road he was travelling down was dirt but the road that crossed it was gravel. He turned the car off and took a deep breath.

He got out of the car and squatted down in the center of the crossroad. Opening the little chest he bought, he put the spices and a couple bones he found from Bobby's shed in it. He took out his pocketknife and slit his palm open, allowing his blood to spill into the chest as well. After wrapping his hand up with a handkerchief, he dug a hole in the ground. He put the chest in but kept the lid open.

"I hope this works", he whispered to himself. He stood up and lit a match. Then he dropped it in the chest, causing a small combustion.

After the little fire died down, he looked up. Looking for what he was about to face.

"Come on. Come on. Show yourself"

...

"Well hey there handsome"

He spun around and saw a tall, dark haired woman. She was actually quite beautiful... if she wasn't a demon.

"I want to make a deal" he said rather pointedly.

"You do know what that entails, don't you" she responded slyly.

Bobby's going to kill me he thought to himself.

"Yes, I do" he spoke begrudgingly.

"You're a cute thing, aren't you?" she slowly walked around Tom, sizing him up. She licked her lips.

Tom fidgeted uncomfortably under her gaze.

"So... what do you want?" she ran her index finger over his shoulder and traced the outline of his muscular chest, heaving from the anxiety he was having. "If you want to be pleasured, I would be more than happy to comply" she said this as she scanned his body up and down, obviously liking what she was seeing.

"No! No" immediately pulling away from her touch. "No. I need to make sure a friend of mine gets back from purgatory safely."

"Uh huh" she muttered, still staring him down. "Who is this person?"

"Brooklyn Winchester"

As soon as she heard the last name, she stopped and actually looked him dead in the eye. "Winchester?"

He still fidgeted. "Yes"

She sighed and thought for a second. "I guess I could do that, since you are so tasty looking"

She stepped closer to him, "Well? Are you ready to seal the deal?" again, tracing his muscular pecs.

"Not yet" the demon stopped, "I want to make sure she's alive before I sell my soul"

The demon stepped back, obviously impatient. "Fine" she said through gritted teeth. "I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere"

Tom paced back and forth muttering inaudible words to himself. Then she was back.

"You want to know if she's alive?" she stared at him. She lifted her chin, which was so defined, someone could almost cut themselves on it. She snapped her fingers.
