Roman put his bag down on the floor and threw himself on one of the beds. It should just have been another town but it had been tough getting through traffic. There seemed to be news wagons everywhere but they weren't there because of WWE.
"What's going on in this town?" Roman asked.
"The trial," Dean answered.
"What trial?" Seth asked.
"They're trying to take down this whole mob family. They got a star witness. Someone from within turned on the rest," Dean answered. "It's been all over the news for a while."
Roman grabbed the remote and turned on the tv. The news was going on. He slowly sat up with his mouth open. Dean and Seth stood still, both of them staring at the screen too.
"What the fuck?" Seth whispered.
They stared at the picture on the screen while the news anchor talked over it.
"There's still no sign of the star witness Keira Henderson. She vanished six weeks ago from a safe house. According to the one surviving officer, she was in the shower when people broke into the home to get her. He doesn't know if they took her with them or if she vanished on her own."
"It's her. It's Keira," Roman said.
None of them had seen her in about five weeks. Dean had been right back then. She probably had only been homeless for a day or two when they ran into her. She had gotten out of the safe house before meeting them.
"I fucking knew it!" Dean growled. "I knew she had a story."
"She vanished on her own," Seth seemed to be answering the news anchor. "We saw her. She was on her own. This is why she was running the streets with no phone or ID. She didn't wanna get caught. Traveling with us probably made it more safe for her."
"Then why did she leave?" Dean asked.
"Keira Henderson was known as a mob wife although she never actually married into the family. She turned on her long time boyfriend and his family, including her own brother who was the reason she met them to begin with. The judge has already ruled that if she doesn't turn up to her hearing tomorrow, all evidence provided by her will not be allowed in the case. They need her testimony to win this case."
"I don't believe this," Roman said.
"She'll be there," Dean said.
"How can you be so sure?" Seth asked.
"Who the hell would turn on a mob family if they're not dead sure to put them away? Either you succeed or you die," Dean said.
"Despite trying hard from the prosecutor, the judge has ruled it will be an open trial. Don't expect to get a seat. The courthouse is already being camped."
"We're going," Dean said.
"We can't," Roman said.
"She's out there on her own, Roman!" Dean raised his voice. "You know damn well she'll march into that building tomorrow. I wanna see her. I need to see her."
"We hardly know her," Seth tried.
"Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't wanna see her too," Dean said.
Dean and Seth had a short stare down until Seth finally turned his eyes down.
"I can't," Seth said.
"Roman?" Dean looked at Roman.
"Let's just hope they're all gonna be so engrossed with the case that they don't notice us," Roman said.
"Wear a hoodie," Dean smiled. "And thanks."
"I wanna see her too," Roman said. "It's not everyday we get a girl fucking us all within three days and then running off. She was bold. I kinda liked that."
