Lexi sat there looking around the interior of the library, "This place is ridiculous."
Sam approached the table and handed her one of the three beers he had brought from the kitchen, "Yea, it's a lot to take in."
The longer haired hunter pulled a chair up to the end of the table and took a seat, Lexi sat across the table from Dean.
The dark-haired girl twisted the top off her bottle and took a long drink, then placed it on the table in front of her as Sam began, "So, how long have you been hunting?"
"On and off since I was eighteenish," she replied, then smirked, "not as long as the two of you though."
Sam nodded his head and continued, "And you met Charlie on a hunt?"
Lexi smiled at the memory, "Yea, I spotted her right off, could tell she was newbie, offered to work the case with her. She was something else."
A smile had crossed the older brother's face as he remembered his friend.
"You said in your email you have more information on the Stynes," Sam said to change the subject, the thought of Charlie still hurt him more than he wanted to let on.
"From what I'm understanding, they're trying to take up residence again in Shreveport," she responded. "Stupid, I know, but I assume they think that since you've unleashed the Darkness now, you have bigger things to worry about."
She could tell by the look on their faces, they didn't expect she would know about the darkness, "I hear things, hunters talk, I know what's out there. It seems you two boys are always on the verge of either ending the world or saving it."
"Little do those son of a bitches know," she rolled the beer bottle lid around in her hand, "I don't have bigger things to worry about, and I fully intend on taking a road trip to Shreveport and putting the bastards down. I know you two have a lot going on right now, but…"
"We're in," Dean stated, "on one condition."
Lexi looked over to him expectantly, waiting to hear his stipulation.
"We do this our way," the older brother said, "I'm not going down there, guns blazing, and letting you get caught in the cross-fire. I have enough blood on my hands."
"Deal," she replied, "but I can take care of myself Winchester. I always have."
Lexi couldn't help but remember one of the conversations she and Charlie had about the Winchesters.
"When are you going to take me to this Bat Cave?" Lexi questioned, she was laid on her stomach on the motel bed, as she flipped through a Cosmopolitan magazine.
"Never," the short haired redhead responded from the small table beside the window.
"What?! Why not," Lexi whined, and she wasn't one to whine, but she loved to pester her friend.
"Right now, is not a good time," she responded, "Maybe once we get this Mark off Dean."
Charlie started to shake her head, "Even then I don't think it's a good idea."
Lexi looked up from her magazine, "What's not a good idea about it? I'm pretty awesome."
"Yes, you are," Charlie looked at her friend and smiled innocently, "but, Lex, you're also hot and what happens when your best friend sleeps with your brother?"
The dark-haired girl raised her eyebrows and waited on her friend's response.
"Nothing good, I'm sure there's a Lifetime movie about it somewhere," Charlie stated.
Lexi flipped another page of the magazine, "Fine, they're probably not that attractive anyway."
She heard Charlie start to type away on the laptop, then looked over casually as Charlie turned the laptop screen in Lexi's direction; a picture of two men was pulled up on the screen.
"That's THEWinchesters?" Lexi questioned, as she moved from the bed to get a closer look at the screen.
Charlie nodded her head and a devilish grin crossed her friend's face as she said, "Lexi likey."
"See, nothing good," Charlie said as she turned the laptop back to face her.
"You're wrong," the dark-haired girl responded, as she turned the laptop again to look at the picture, "That's a WHOLE lot of good."
Just then Charlie's phone vibrated and it was Sam's name on the caller ID, Lexi nudged her playfully and winked, "Tell him I said "Hey"."
"Shut up slut," Charlie responded.
"Skank." Lexi retorted as she made kissy lips at Charlie as she answered the phone.
"Hey Sam."
