Chapter Three
Christina didn't know what to do while she waited for her brothers to arrive at her grandparent's house. She had wrapped her grandmother in a sheet from her bed to keep the image of her eyes staring at her at bay. She took in a deep breath when her phone began to buzz in her pocket of her jacket and she pulled it out. The unnamed number came up and she answered it. "Hello." She said her voice shaking with fear and sorrow.
"You have exactly three hours to give me the box your grandfather gave you, or you're going to loose your grandfather."
"Why'd you bring my grandmother into this?" Christina asked glaring at the wall as she fished out the box from her jacket. "She was an innocent."
"She was stopping me from learning all about you." The voice said slowly. Christina imagined the look the guy might have as she took in a deep breath. "But since she won't tell me anything I didn't want her to warn you of what's to come." He let out a dark chuckle before hanging up the phone. She held onto her cellphone her eyes still glaring at the wall before she walked out of the kitchen and towards her grandfather's office clenching her cellphone hard in her hand.
She didn't waste any time turning on the computer before opening the box up and dumping the contents into her hand. A singe flash drive fell into her opened palm and she plugged it into the tower. "Password." The screen said and Christina looked into the box hoping to find a clue to what the password was. Her mind whirled with thousands of possibilities of what the password might be, but one stuck in her head. She stared at the keyboard her fingers trembling as she began to type in Lola Bunny inside the box only to see dots slowly spread across the bar. She took in a deep breath before her pinkie pressed hard on the enter key. For a second she feared that she may have made a mistake when the screen went dark.
"Christina?!" Dean's voice made her jump as she made a sound to tell her brothers where she was. They walked into the office and stared as she began to move the mouse until it rested on the only folder that was on the flash drive. "What are you doing?"
"Trying to find out what why someone would be stalking my grandpa." She said her eyes narrowed in concentration, before her eyes lowered, "and kill my grandma."
"Sulfur." Sam said he must have gone to the kitchen to find the body still laying there.
"Look we don't have much time here." Dean said trying to pull his sister from the computer. "I'm pretty sure your grandparent's neighbors have heard all this commotion."
"Dean, I can't leave." Christina found a document alone in the folder and she double clicked it. "My grandpa told me to keep this safe. But what that was I don't know."
"We'll look at it back at the hotel, hell we can look at it when we get out of dodge."
"Dean I can't leave my grandpa. He's in trouble. You'd do the same thing if this was your grandpa."
"Christy," Sam said as she began to wait for the document to open. "We need to get out of here. I'll let you borrow my computer but you got to leave now."
"Sam I'm not leaving!" She began to read the document before seeing it was nearly sixty pages long and it was filled with random words that didn't make any sense. She tried to make sense when she heard a soft beeping sound coming from the flash drive. A small notification asked if she wished to print the pages. She clicked yes and instantly the printer began to shoot out the pages.
"Okay, I have never seen a printer act like this." Dean said walking over towards the printer and gathered the pages. When the notification stated all the pages have been complete the flash drive began to smoke inside the tower. Christina reached down to take it out but the plastic burned her skin making her pull her hand back. A small piece of melted plastic stuck to her hand. Soon the tower burst into flames making all three Winchesters to quickly leave the room and out the front door.
All three of them watched as the house quickly became consumed by the flames that left nothing but a smoldering frame of a house. "Come on lets get out of here." Dean said before dragging his sister and brother towards the Impala.
~License to Hunt~
As Dean drove the Impala through town as inconspicuous as possible Sam began to try and make sense of the sixty pages that was printed before the flash drive caught on fire. He was shaking his head as he couldn't figure out what was going on. Dean glanced in the rear view at his sister who was pulling on the small plastic scab that came off with some of her skin causing blood to pool on the edge of her palm. She stared at the blood before she pressed the sleeve of her jacket on top smearing the blood into the fabric.
"You going to be okay?" He asked and she slowly nodded. "Alright Mr. Wizard what's with the papers?"
"Can't make any sense of it." Sam said tossing the stack of papers on the seat next to him. "It's nine miles of crazy."
"Dean stop the car please." Dean was confused until he saw his sister covered her mouth and quickly pulled over. Christina pushed open the door and ran towards the back of the car expelling everything that was in her stomach. She had just felt sick to her stomach since she had pulled off that piece of plastic and didn't think anything of it until she felt her knees buckle as she fell to the ground. She didn't make a huge deal with her skinned knees as she just wanted to have her stomach stop churning.
Tears and sweat slid down her face until she heard two sets of car doors opening and then closing behind her. She wiped a shaky hand across her mouth before she let out another gut wrenching dry heave. "Christy?" Dean asked slumping to his knees and placed a hand gingerly on her shoulders. "Are you going to be okay?"
"I...I don't know." Christina managed to push out before she slumped into his side her eyes fluttering as her body just started to weaken. "Some...thing was on that flash drive." She said weakly as Dean and Sam both helped her to her feet. "D...S..." Her body went limp in their hands.
