Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural...I wish!
A warm spring breeze blew, just on sunrise as the young sandy blonde mechanic stood examining the remains of what was at one point a Holden Astra. She wondered what had caused the accident. Of course she hadn't read the police report, but knew they had no leads. Jo was a hunter, she took after her dad. She'd been hunting for years. And had only recently started by her self.
Walking around the crumpled up heap, she peered cautiously inside the window, to see what appeared to be a plastic GPS holder attached to the windscreen. She frowned. There was no mention of a GPS found anywhere in the car in the files she was sent with this heap. Again she wondered what happened.
"Hey! Jo! Figure this heap out yet?" come a voice from behind her, making the young mechanic jump slightly. She quickly turned to see her friend Billy standing in the garage door way. She smiled.
"Nope, what brings you to these parts?" she asked. Grabbing the grease covered rag from the tool stand and wiping her hands. He shrugged, and held out a coloured box, she took it. And saw what was on the front. It was brand new GPS system. Frowning, slightly confused she handed the box back to him.
"I don't get it. It's a box. With a GPS system inside, what's it for?" she asked. Turning back to the tool stand and examining which one she would need to get the GPS holder off. He smirked.
"I found this outside, sitting in the heap of half price stuff at the door. Wanted to know how much you wanted for it." Jo stopped, dropping a screw driver onto the table with a clunk.
"Billy, stop playing me, we don't have any half price GPS systems..." she said suddenly freaked out. She shot a glance to the windscreen of the messed up Astra, and then looked back at her friend. He frowned.
"You sure?" he asked. She nodded and held her hand out for the box again. He gladly handed it over.
"Are you sure it's this shops half price basket you got it from?" she asked. He thought for a second.
"Well, next doors do have one as well, someone could have gotten them mixed up and thrown this in your basket instead" he reasoned. She frowned not really believing this idea but nodded.
"Yeah someone must have, it's the only thing that makes sense." She added. She looked over the box once more. The item inside was red and white with a black screen frame. The box was black with silver writing, and a picture of the item on the front.
For some reason the box sent a cold shiver down her spine, that was stupid, it was just a GPS system, what could possibly be wrong? She wondered. Just being stupid, she thought to herself. She gave the box back to Billy, and the bad feeling disappeared.
Shaking it off, she grabbed the flat head screw driver from the bench and lay across the front seat of the car so she could reach the windscreen, and slowly levered the item off.
"So, what's up?" she asked. She removed it a little bit and waited for the boy to talk.
"Well, the gang and I are heading for a road trip out west. We were wondering if you wanted to join us?" he asked shyly.
Jo thought for a minute, a trip away could be good for her. Carefully getting the final bit off she sat up.
"Yeah sure, sounds good" she said as she placed the GPS holder down on the trolley with the tools. He stood waiting for her say something else. She didn't.
"Well, I got to go" he said.
"Yeah, um you taking that GPS?" she asked. He nodded.
"Might as well, won't find one anywhere at a cheaper price, besides need it for the trip. Catch ya' later Jo" She waved as he left. the bad feeling about the GPS system had returned. And knew somehow that something was going to happen this weekend…something they'd never forget.
Well???? R&R
