Her mother was hovering in the doorway, watching her pack.
"I won't be gone long mom, I just need to help them with something."
She smiled knowingly. "I know." After a moment she came into the room and handed her the cell phone on her dresser. "Just don't forget the number ok?"
"I'm serious, I won't be long."
"Kayla." She stopped packing to look at her. "You're happier out there. When you call home, I can here the excitement in your voice. Whatever happened between you and this Dean guy can be fixed, because that's what you want isn't it?"
Kayla paused and nodded a little, she knew it was pointless to lie about it.
"Just be careful. Maybe you can bring him by…you have been seeing each other awhile."
Ha. Bring Dean to meet the parents. That's funny.

Kayla was anxious when she got to the room. It had been over a month since she'd seen the guys and it was hell. She smiled brightly when Sam opened the door.
"Hey stranger."
Sam hugged her. "Hey, it's been awhile."
"Nah, couple months right?"
He motioned her in and shut the door. "Dean's in trouble."
"What?"
"This is Ava." He motioned to the woman sitting at the desk, she waved politely at Kayla.
She was distracted and barely waved back. "What happened to Dean?"
"We don't know yet. I called him and he gave me the code word that someone has a gun to his head. I'm supposed to meet him pretty soon, we're probably walking into a trap."
"The code word was funky town, in case you were wondering." Ava pointed out.
Kayla rolled her eyes. "God you guys are dorks. When do we leave?"
He checked the clock. "We can head in that direction, I don't suppose you brought your gun.
She raised her shirt to show the gun holstered at her side. "I had a feeling I might need it. I've got my stuff in the rental car out front."
Sam smiled a little; she'd planned to stay, just in case. Now they just had to get to Dean in time.
