Ch 2
It had been a couple of weeks since you saw Dean. You had managed to take out a couple of upset spirits and a vampire since then. Now you were headed out to find a possible werewolf. Driving along the interstate lost in the sounds of A Day to Remember on your stereo. Your phone rings and the number isn't one you recognize.
"Hello?"
"Hey…what are you wearing?"
"Excuse me? Who the hell is this so I know who's ass to kick?"
"Wow, most females just hang up."
"I'm about to if you don't answer the question."
"It's Dean."
You thought the voice sounded familiar. "How did you get my number and what do you want?"
"I stole it from your phone before I left and I wanted to hang out again."
"Well I'm busy on a case right now. Maybe I'll hit you up after." *click*
You can't believe you just hung up on him, but you had to keep him on his toes. You knew that he already knew he was irresistible. It was time to keep him guessing and make him feel like he has to work for it this time.
"She just hung up on me. What a bitch."
"She sounds perfect for you," Crowley responded looking smug. "I'm surprised you even called her at all. You've kept yourself busy since then. Why is she so interesting?"
Dean just looked at him wondering what Crowley was trying to get at. He knew Crowley never asked questions unless he had an idea of an answer. Dean just walked out of the entertainment area of their hotel room into his bedroom.
Dean's thoughts:
Why do I have so much interest in her? She's just another hunter. But there was something about the way she fought and her blade…I thought me and Sam were the only ones to have a blade like that. Not to mention the sex was phenomenal…there's just something else about her I can't put my finger on.
****************************
"Damn it!" You tracked down the werewolf, but not in time before it claimed another victim. So far all the victims were male, so you figured the wolf might be female. You tried to find a link between all of them, but just couldn't place your finger on it.
You decide to see the latest victim's family tomorrow morning. For now you were going to drown your sorrows of not being able to save yet another human being in whatever alcohol you could find.
Ironically you find yourself in a bar called 'Hair of the Dog.' Drinking down your third Malibu Breeze you spot a man of about 5' 7" watching you from across the open bar. You exchange glances and he takes that as an invitation to come over. You weren't completely in a friendly mood, but you more than welcome to have another distraction right now.
"Hi, I couldn't help but notice you from across the bar. Can I buy you a drink?"
You got a better look at him with light hazel eyes, dark brown hair, a few tattoos here and there. He looked like he could be amusing.
"Sure, but only if I get your name."
"Shawn…and yours?"
"(Y/n)."
"Well it's very nice to meet you (y/n). What should I get you?"
A couple hours and a few drinks later you're starting to feel lost in another world. You almost don't feel the guilt of losing the life of another person. It's not until you find yourself back in your hotel room entangled with Shawn that you completely forget for a few seconds before you pass out asleep.
**************************
You wake up the next morning to a light snoring from behind you. You roll over to see Shawn still asleep and to this you're relieved. You quickly and quietly get dressed and make sure to put all your belongings into your car before heading out to the last victim's house.
You pull up to a simple two story house painted an off grey with white trim. You knock on the door to have a woman in her early 50's answer the door.
"Can I help you?"
"I'm agent Shields. I'm working on the case of your son's murder. We believe it's linked to a couple other young men that have recently been murdered as well. I just had a few questions I may."
"Of course, please, come in." She moves aside and ushers you in. She guides you to a living room where you can see pictures of the family on the mantle over the fireplace.
"First I wanted to say that I am sorry for your loss. From what I've read in the file he was a very bright enthusiastic young man."
"Yes, he was…thank you." She grabs for a tissue to wipe away from fallen tears. "What kind of questions can I answer for you?"
"First I have to ask if he had any bad break ups over the past year or so?"
"I'm sorry, I don't understand. The police said it looked like a wild animal attack. What would any of the children have to do with it?"
"Just trying to cover ALL the bases Mrs. Jones. People are getting more creative every day. Just trying to connect all the dots from any aspect possible."
She looked as if in thought before answering, "No break ups with a girl friend, but he did have a best friend he had a falling out with, Jennifer."
"Did they go to school together?"
"They did. They were in quite a few classes together and were part of some after school club."
A club? You hadn't thought to look into anything like that. "Do you remember the name of the club?"
"I…I think it was some gamers' club. They weren't big enough to make it into the yearbook. I know they did get tormented a little by the jocks and such, but they were a close knit group…until Jennifer started to date one of them."
"Date who?"
"One of the jocks, Todd Lukner. I guess the group was a little jealous of Jennifer dating Todd. I told him not to worry about it and that making a bigger deal of it would just make him lose her as a friend. They went on one last camping trip together and something happened that weekend on the trip they just weren't friends anymore."
"And where is Jennifer now?"
"Last I had heard was her family was supposed to be out of town on a trip together."
"Do you have their address by chance?"
She gave you her address as well as where to find Todd's house. You thanked her again for her cooperation and apologized once more for the loss of her son. You made your way to the school first. There was only a couple of the club members left that hadn't been attacked and you only had one more night to find out if Jennifer was the werewolf or not.
************************************
You introduced yourself to the principal and why you were there. He showed you to the room the club met in and you found two young boys sitting around talking with each other both looking a little scared.
"Afternoon boys."
They both turned to you jumping a little in their seats.
"Who are you?" The one with blonde hair asked you.
"I'm detective Shields and I'm here to try to find out who's been killing your friends."
They both looked very somber and got even quieter.
"When was the last time either of you saw Jennifer?"
"We haven't seen her since the camping trip. Then her family left for their trip." The other one answered.
"And Todd?"
"He should be out at football practice."
"Did anything…strange happen on your trip?"
"What do you mean by strange? We did have this huge wolf end up right outside our site. So we all hopped into the tent and zipped it up before it got any closer."
"But no one got bit?"
"No, it did come right up to the tent. It was the biggest wolf I've ever seen, that's for sure. Then it just left."
"Thank you boys. I'll go have a little chat with Todd."
***********************************
Finding him was easy. You spotted him on the field by his last name on the back of his jersey.
"Mr. Lukner? May I have a word?"
He turned and looked you up and down before getting a quick smirk on his lips.
"Sure," he replied before closing the space between you two.
"When was the last time you saw Jennifer and what was your relationship like between you and her friends?"
You saw his face go pail for a split second. *Shit* you thought. It's him. You had to distract him before he ran off.
"I was just curious if you saw her before her family left on their trip?"
"I…uh…I didn't get chance to. She was on that stupid camping trip with the geek squad."
"I see…well if you happen to hear from her while she's on her trip, please let her know we need to ask her some questions for our investigation."
"Uh…yeah…sure thing."
You try to keep your pace normal as you realize you have to find out if Jennifer's even still alive or not. Once you feel you're out of sight, you sprint for your car. The sun had already started to be going down and it was sunset when you reached her house.
*****************************************
You walk up to the door and knock and ring the bell to not get a response. You take a quick look around to make sure no neighbors might be watching before you pick the lock to the front door. As soon as you open the front door you regret it. The stench was wretched. You walk into the living room to find whom you assumed to be Jennifer's parents dead. You try to listen to see if you can hear any other movement in the house. You could have sworn you heard a noise from the door you just walked past in the hall.
You open that door and find it leads to a basement. You make your way down the steps and round the corner to find Jennifer tied to a chair. You sprint over and take out your blade working on her bounds on her arms and feet. You just remove the gag from her mouth for her to yell, "Look out!"
You push Jennifer backwards, but not before you knocked to the side yourself.
"Stupid bitch, you never should put your nose where it doesn't belong."
"I don't understand Todd. When did you become a wolf?"
"The weekend before their camping trip, me and the team went on a trip of our own. They thought it was real funny to tie me to a tree and leave me overnight after I said I wouldn't break up with Jennifer."
"Then why not kill the team instead of her friends?"
"I knew they would be doing the same thing. Trying to convince her to get rid of me…So I went to their camp site and sure enough they were telling her how we were wrong for each other. What the hell did they know?"
All the while you've got him on his rant you try to reach for your gun in the back of your pants. Unfortunately he notices and tosses it away from you.
"You're going to kill me?!"
"There's no saving you Todd. I'm sorry. But you've already tasted flesh and once you've done that…there's no turning back. You've already killed two boys AND Jennifer's parents. You can't be allowed to live and kill even more people."
"You bitch! He starts to change right before your eyes and it's unlike anything you've ever seen before. To hear the slurps of flesh being ripped off in clumps as his wolf form comes through.
You're frozen in awe until you see him lunge for you. You manage to stop him from biting you but he did scratch you pretty bad down your arm as you brought it up to keep his teeth just out of reach from you. It felt like hours, but it was only a few moments when you hear a loud bang and felt his body go limp on top of you. You look up to see Jennifer with your gun in her hands.
You push what is now the body of a dead boy off of you before running over to Jennifer and catching her before she falls to her knees in a heap of sobs.
"Shhh…it's ok now. He can't hurt you or any of your friends or anyone anymore. It'll be ok."
"He…he killed my parents! My friends! Who do I have left?"
"You still have a couple of friends from your group alive…do you have any family around here?"
"An Aunt."
"You'll probably go with her then…Jennifer, I need you to listen to me. No one's going to believe that he was a werewolf. I need you with me on this and to tell them that it was Todd who did the killings. Just leave out that you had no idea what weapon he used. Say you could hear what was going on from down here as he killed them, ok?"
She only nodded her head as you released her slightly to get your phone out and call the local police. They showed up in no time at all and the two of you were bandaged up before they got your final statements and you were on your way.
*******************************
You got back into your car and started out on the highway again. Your phone ringing once more you look and see that it's Dean.
"Hey there."
"Saved my number I see."
"What do you want? I can hear your smirk through the phone."
He gave a light laugh, "I told you wanted to see you. You done with that case or do you need some help?"
"You know I can handle my own…and yes I am done with the case."
"Ah, so you have some time for me now?"
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't."
"Don't you want to see me again (y/n)?" He says in a low husky voice that makes your insides clench.
"What do you think?"
