Chapter 3
Jessica put her fork down as she finished her pie. Dean had already started on his second piece and Sam was sipping on a glass of water.
"So you're saying that you work at a theme park dedicated to ponies...?"
"My Little Pony but yes."
"And what suspicious thing did you see?"
"Well there was this man dressed as Doctor Whooves and he was talking to my friend Rachel who was dressed as Roseluck."
Dean cleared his throat, "What, Doctor Whooves and cosplay... are you talking about Comic Con..."
A frown covered the brothers' faces... It seems a terrible personal experience has come back to their minds. Well that or they had no idea what Jessica was saying.
"Yeah, his name was Nick Jones. I didn't meet him personally... because I was in pickle juice.
"Pickle what?"
"Dean, I think she's only citing a metaphor."
"No! No! Actual pickle juice... ewghh... never again."
Sam stared at Jessica before staring at Dean whose pie was falling out of his mouth.
"Um, okay moving on. What happened after that?"
"Well I went home and proceeded to take 5 showers, I still kinda reek of vinegar."
"Did you see Nick after that?"
"After my shower, Sam! How could you say that! And I thought you were the nice one..."
Dean made some muffled noises behind his pie. Jessica threw a napkin at him and laughed.
"No Jess, after that day?"
"Oh! Well no that was yesterday and today I ran into you two."
Dean clears his throat once more. "What about your friend you mentioned."
"Oh Rachel. Yeah, she was totally taken by him!"
"What?" Sam exclaimed and knocked over Dean's sweet tea. The other brother flicks him in the face before ordering another tea.
"Jessica did Nick take Rachel?"
"No"
"But you just-"
"She likes him. Gosh do you not know how to speak to a girl or something?"
"Well I'm a guy so..."
"Sure you are, Samantha!"
"Shut up Dean."
"Anyway, I'm just worried that Nick could be, you know... evil."
"Well there's not much to go on."
"Sounds like this guy took a turn off his rocker."
Sam nods and so does Jessica.
"So um... will you guys do something?"
Silence envelopes the group and then Sam leans over to Dean.
"Maybe we should give Cas a call?"
Dean perks up at the name and frowns.
Sammy, Cas is busy. He's dealing with Heaven and the downfall of the human race... he doesn't need to get into all this, this... pony business."
A hush sweeps the room and Jessica hears an odd sound, like wings fluttering. They all turned their heads to the empty seat beside her.
"Hello Dean, you called."
The stranger spoke... and that's when Jessica blacked out, but not before a single thought entered her brain...
Is that guy a magician?
