It was midmorning when Sam was awakened by the loud trill of Dean's cell phone, Sam mumbled something and glared at Dean's back before opening the phone and barking into it.
"Hello."
"Dean? Is it you? You gotta get down here right now, Phoenix. It's bad, real bad."
"Wait, who is this?"
"It's Alex. Is this Sam? I thought he wasn't going to involve you. Get Dean please."
"Alex?"
"Yes, Alex."
Dean mumbled something in his sleep and opened one eye, he looked at Sam for a moment and gave him a questioning glance. Sam covered the mouth piece and said to Dean.
"It's someone named Alex, says she knows you."
"Oh shit." Said Dean loudly
Sam looked at Dean as Dean gestured to Sam to give him the phone, he slowly handed the phone over and watched Dean speak into the phone.
"Alex, it's been a while." He said in low almost sad tones
"Ya, it has. I'm in Phoenix, how fast can you get here?"
"We're in Colorado right now." He lied
"Dean, I really need you, Anna really needs you."
"Anna doesn't need anybody, she said as much when she kicked me out."
"She was mad Dean, who wouldn't be."
"Yes but pointing a shotgun at me was alittle much."
"I agree, here you talk to her."
"I have nothing to say to her. We said what we needed to say 3 years ago."
"Talk to her anyway, she just walked through the door."
Dean heard the sound of what seemed to be rustling fabric, a curse and then a honeyed alto came over the line.
"Hello?"
"Hey Anna."
Again Dean heard a sound that might have been the phone dropping and then another curse and some fighting going on in the background.
"Hello?" he asked into the phone
"What the hell?" the voice answered back
"Nice to talk to you to Anna. Guess time hasn't buried the hachet for us has it."
Silence.
"Anna?"
"What Dean?"
"Your sister called me. She said something's wrong."
"Nothing's wrong."
"I know when you're lying Anna."
Silence ensued again, Dean looked to Sam who was giving him questioning glances. He mouthed to Dean 'What's going on?'. Dean shrugged and spoke again.
"Anna, please talk to me."
"I don't know why she called you. We don't have any problems that we can't fix. It's just Mikey, he's gone and we don't know where he is. The thing is his new girlfriend is gone too, and she's just like me and Sam, Psychic."
"Anna you know what this could mean."
"No Dean I don't want to think about that right now."
"Anna, I'm coming up as soon as we can."
"No Dean I don't want you to come. We're fine here, I don't even know why she called you."
"Anna, don't argue with me, we are coming wiether you want me or not. You got that? This isn't about us, or you , or me, it's about a lot more. So for once just let it go."
"Fine."
There was a click at the end of the line and Dean pulled the phone away from his ear, he looked at Sam and said.
"We're going to Arizona."
