"Don't forget Dean's picking you up after school," Sam told his 13 year old daughter who was actually going to be 14 in two days.

"Did you get earplugs this time?" Karen asked.

Sam smiled. "If I could handle it for almost 20 hours a day you can for a few hours."

"But it's just noise." She complained.

"You can get him back at your birthday with country music."

She got out of the car. "Good luck today."

"Thanks. Be good."

"I'm always good."

"Funny. Love you." Sam said taking off.

Karen looked across the street of the school and saw the same black man looking at her. She quickly went in to class.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Sam Winchester. I need to speak with you."

"I don't have time. I've got a case." Sam argued in the courthouse.

"It's about Gordon Walker." Hendrickson said.

"He's still locked up isn't he?"

"He's been released."

"When did this happen?" Sam asked worried.

"2 weeks ago. Ironic isn't it? So close to your daughter's birthday."

"Who let him go? He was supposed to been in there for life."

"He made parole. It's been almost 20 years Sam. Gordon's not going to stop until he has you and Dean."

"I want officers watching my daughter's school."

"I already called. I'm not going to make the same mistake I did 13 years ago. Who would have thought we'd end up being friends?"

"Sam their ready for you," A woman with red hair said.

"I'll be right in Lisa." Sam waited until she was gone. "Are there officers patrolling the house?"

"I've got four squad cars. I'm on it Sam. Just go put that murdering bastard away. I'll go tell Dean."

"Call me if-"

"I will."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Piece of crap," Dean said trying to get a tire off a badly wrecked car.

"It won't bite." Hendrickson said.

"Thought you would have retired by now. You're looking old."

"So are you. This isn't a social visit."

"Did something happen to Sam?" Dean asked wiping the grease off his hands.

"Gordon Walker's out on parole."

Dean looked angry. "How in the hell could he be released after everything he did?"

"He got out on good behavior."

"Good behavior my ass. How's Sam taking it?"

"Not good. I've got men watching Karen's school in case Gordon wants to make an appearance."

"I'm supposed to pick her up after school." He said frustrated.

"Don't worry Dean. I'm on this. He's not going to get anywhere near her."

"Damn right he's not. Not ever again."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"We still on for your birthday?" Her best friend Sarah asked her after school.

"Pig out fest as usual." Karen said as they walked down the steps of the school.

"There's Dean." Sarah said smiling.

"That's gross." Karen said.

"You just can't see it because he's you're Uncle."

"Good thing because that would be a crime," Karen said.

""You ready kiddo." Dean said.

"Yeah. I've got tons of homework." Karen said. "You need a ride?" She asked Sarah.

"My sister's supposed to pick me up." Sarah said. "I'll call you later."

"Older sister?" Dean asked as Karen got in the Impala.

"Uncle Dean!" Karen said horrified.

"Just curious," He said.

Karen waved and Dean took off.

"How was school?" He asked.

Blackfoot's Highway Song was playing softly.

"Okay I guess. It was weird though."

Dean became alarmed. "Weird?"

"Kept seeing police cars going by during P.E. No one else seemed to notice though."

"Just doing their job."

"Since when do you like cops?" She looked at him surprised.

"I don't. Never have because they can never do their job right."

"Is that why dad became a lawyer?"

"Part of it," He said. "Hope you brought your gym clothes."

"Training?" She groaned.

"You know what's out there."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Good job Winchester. You put that crooked cop away for life."

"Thanks Scott." Sam said putting papers in his briefcase while the courtroom cleared out.

"They should give you a raise for as many bastards you've been able to put away."

"Just lucky," Sam said closing the briefcase.

"No ones that lucky. I don't know how you do it."

Sam started walking down the hall.

"It's interesting though. No one in history has won 10 cases in a row."

"Is there a point to this? I got to get home to my kid."

"Karen. How is she doing?"

"Fine," Sam said trying to hold it together. He hated Scott. "See you Monday." Sam said leaving. He quickly walked to his car happy not to be seeing the jerk for 2 days. Getting in his car he was going to start it when a vision hit him.

Karen was sleeping in her bed with Sarah on the make shift one on the floor. Sarah opened her eyes to a sound and was going to scream when gunshots were fired. Sarah was hit twice. One in the chest the other in the heart. Karen screamed in horror as the gun was now pointed at her head before it went off killing her. Gordon Walker was there with a grin on his face while smoke came out of the gun.

Sam came to and grabbed his phone trying to call Dean. He wasn't picking up. Sam hung up and headed for Dean's.

OOOOOOOOOO

"Looks like Jo's here." Dean said as they pulled up in his driveway.

Karen looked out the window. She hated Jo with a passion. There was something about her that she couldn't quite put her finger on. Karen liked Jo's mom though. She was cool for an old person.

"Missed you," Jo said as they walked in the tiny kitchen. She held out a beer for Dean.

"Thought you weren't coming back until next week," Dean said taking the beer.

"The hunt was shorter than I thought." Jo said as they kissed.

"Too bad," Karen said reminding them there was a kid in the room.

"Karen. Nice to see you again," Jo said.

"Wish I could say the same," Karen said with a fake smile.

"Karen." Dean said shocked at his niece's behavior.

"It's okay Dean. I was a teenager once. Hormones and everything," Jo said.

"Sorry can't blame the hormones on that one. I'm going outside to do my homework." Karen said walking out of the room.

"I'm sorry." Dean said. "She hasn't been herself lately."

"Who are we kidding Dean? She doesn't like me."

"Yes she does."

"Dean you don't have to stick up for her. She worships the ground you walk on."

"I don't know about that." Dean said pinning her against the wall.

Jo smiled. "With her mother gone your like Mr. Mom."

"God I hated that movie."

Jo laughed. "You're so damn cute." She said kissing him.

"Dean. I need to talk to you." Sam said.

"You couldn't have knocked first?" Dean said annoyed.

"This coming from the guy that's supposed to be watching my kid?" Sam said sarcastically.

"Good point." Dean said. "I'll be back." He said to Jo.

"I'll be here." She said.

"We've got a problem." Sam said when they were in the front yard.

"Did Gordon show himself?" Dean asked worried.

"No. I had a vision. Gordon broke into Karen's room and killed Sarah and her while they were sleeping."

"Guess the sleepovers off. Good luck with that one."

"I don't get it. Why would he kill Sarah?"

"She was a witness."

"I know he's been trying to kill me most of my life but why Karen?"

"She did come from two unusual parents."

"Karen's not a killer. Everyone thought I was going to be one but I'm not."

"Don't worry Sam. We'll keep her safe and this time we have Hendrickson on our side. Never thought I'd say that."

"Need help?" Jo asked on the patio.

"No." Karen said trying to ignore.

"I know you don't like me and I don't care. See I've known Dean a lot longer than you think."

"Is there a point to this?" She asked annoyed looking up at her.

"The point is you better get used to seeing me around. I'm not going anywhere." Jo said in the different tone she used when Dean wasn't around to hear. "And one day we'll get married and you won't be able to do a damn thing to stop it."

"If you've known my Uncle Dean for as long as you say you did why hasn't he married you already? Because we both know he's not the type to settle down." She shot back. "I may be a kid but I know a liar when I see one."

"That's witty." Jo tossed back.

"Is that all you got?" She asked with a smile.

"Your lucky you're a kid."

"What's going on?" Dean asked as he and Sam stepped outside.

"Just girl talk," Jo said getting up and kissing him.

Karen put a finger up to her mouth pretending to gag. Sam grabbed her arm and gave her a look. "Get your stuff together." He said.

"No training today?" Karen asked shocked.

"No."

"Did all the demons drop dead or something? You never let me miss a day of training even when I had the flu." Karen said.

"Just be happy." Jo said giving her a look.

"Bitch," Karen muttered under her breath putting her books in the bag.

"Karen Winchester!" Sam said shocked.

"Sorry. It slipped." Karen said not really sorry for it.

"I'm sorry Jo. I don't know what's gotten into my daughter. Excuse us." Sam said tugging Karen along while she flipped Jo off.

"That's my girl!" Dean said proud of Karen.

"Dean! She just gave me the bird!" Jo said angry that he wasn't upset.

His face went serious. "Kids these days," He gave an awkward laugh.

"She's becoming what you used to be."

"The girl's got to stick up for herself."

"Never mind." Jo said.

OOOOOOOOOO

"I know you don't like Jo but you have to try and be in the same room." Sam said as they walked in the house.

"Why can't you guys see it? There's something off with her." Karen said putting her backpack on the couch.

"I've known her for-"

"I know. But the one thing you've taught me is looks can be deceiving."

Sam turned and faced her. "You're wrong. Next time you do something like that you'll be grounded."

"Fine," She said.

"I know Sarah stays the night every Halloween but she can't come this year."

"Just because I flipped Jo off?" Karen said shocked.

"Not because of that."

"Then why?"

"It's for her protection and yours."

"Something bad is going to happen isn't it?" She asked worried.

"Try not to worry. Dean and I aren't going to let anything happen."

"You can't make a promise you can't keep."

"No I can't. But I can try. I ordered pizza for dinner. Go finish your homework until it gets here."

"Okay." She went upstairs but stopped. She heard her dad on the phone.

"Dean I'm going to have to tell her something."

She went in her room and picked up the phone and listened.

"I thought you agreed she shouldn't know unless it was necessary."

"Gordon Walker's out on parole. It can't get worse than that. The thing I don't get is Gordon knew I would have a vision about it. What if he's planning something else?" Sam asked worried.

"You want me to stay over there?"

"No. I'll figure it out. Sorry about Jo."

Karen gently placed the receiver down in shock. Her father had visions? Why wouldn't he have said something? She knew about the paranormal but visions? Who was Gordon Walker? She went to her computer and turned the screen on and typed in GORDON WALKER and hit Enter. Dozens of names popped up until she found one.

Man kills a woman in a house fire.

She clicked on it and saw her mothers name on it. It was the same black man she saw outside of her school!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Pizza's here," Sam yelled.

He saw Karen walked down with red eyes.

"What's wrong?" He asked concerned.

"This." She tossed him printer papers. "How could you not tell me?" She asked hurt.

Sam looked at the papers. He knew he should have said something before.
