Chapter 4. Business Affairs.
I know it took a while but I had some writers block. Here is the new chap. Hope you guys enjoy.
Dean extends his hand to Buffy and helps her up. She looks at him, not wanting to say a thank you for helping her with the vampire because Buffy isn't that type of person. She could handle one crazed, psycho killer vampire who kidnaps her family members to get revenge all on her own.
"Are you okay?" asks Dean, wanting to at least get 'a thank you' or 'I'm fine'. Buffy rolls her eyes and walks over to where Dawn and her dad are. "We better get out of here."
"Buffy, you're hurt," says Dawn, noticing her shirt was stained with blood.
"I'm fine," says Buffy, wincing a little as she touches the wound.
"You're not." Dean walks over to the sisters and sees the blood seeping through her clothes. "Your sister's right." Dean's looking at her straight in the eyes. "We should take you to a hospital."
"No!" says Buffy.
"How did you get that? The guy didn't have anything on him."
"She just got her appendix taken out and we got word about Dad's disappearance," says Dawn. "Let's just say that doctors are still looking for her."
"Well, your Houdini tricks aren't going to help you heal this wound," says Dean. "You should see a doctor. It looks pretty…"
"No," says Hank. They all turn to look at him. "Buffy doesn't like hospitals." Buffy looks at her dad and is surprised that he remembered that.
"Okay. Where's the nearest convenient store?"
They get into Dean's car, the Summers-clan is sitting in the back seat and everyone is staying quiet on the way to the convenient store, then to Hank's house. Luckily Hank hides a key to the house next to a flower pot and is able to get inside.
Hank sits at the kitchen table; while Dawn pulls out the supplies they bought in the convenient store and starts to clean his wounds on his face. He looks at his little girl's face and can't believe how much she has grown. Sam could see they were going to have a father, daughter moment and steps out to check on Dean and Buffy. He brings Dean the wash clothes with hot water, so he can clean the wound first and then sterilize it with alcohol.
"How's my dad?" asks Buffy as she takes her jacket off slowly.
"Doesn't look too bad," says Sam. "Dawn's with him." Sam decides to leave them and return to Dawn. On his way to the kitchen he begins to have this headache. Sam leans on the wall of the hallway and grabs hold of his head.
Back in the room with Dean and Buffy, Buffy without saying anything, takes off her shirt, leaving her bra on and when Dean turns around, he sees her back towards him. His eyes widen at the fact that she is partially naked, but he tries to push that out of his mind and gets to business. Buffy sits down on the bed facing forward.
"This might hurt a little," says Dean as he kneels down and begins to pull the old bloody bandage off her. Buffy didn't even wince. "Guess not." Dean begins to dab the wound with hot water with one cloth, then he gets the alcohol and dabs another cloth over the wound. She was stitched back up after her appendix came out, but didn't allow much time to heal. Even a Slayer would need more than one day to heal after an operation.
"So, how did you get this gig?" asks Buffy, trying to make small talk and feeling the quietness a little too uncomfortable. Dean looks up and tries not to keep his eyes on her breasts. He finds her eyes as he continues to wrap her wound around her.
"Lets just say we had a significant experience with our mother," says Dean.
"Demon?"
"Yep. Been trying to track it for years."
"Maybe we can help."
"Did you get a concussion in that fight?"
"Why would you say that?" Buffy stands up.
"I don't know. You're a lot nicer now." Dean stands up and looks at her. The two are standing very close to each other.
"I can't be nice?" Buffy gives a little pout, which begins to drive Dean mad.
"Yeah, I…"
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." They are drawing closer to each other and their lips are two inches away from each other, when they hear Dawn scream.
"SAM!" Dawn yells when she finds him in the hallway in pain.
Dean and Buffy look at each other, then at the door. Buffy grabs her shirt and puts it on.
"We gotta…" says Buffy.
"Go," says Dean scratching, his head as the two head out of the room. Dean sees his brother on the floor and rushes over to him. "Sam, are you okay? What happened?"
"I just found him here," says Dawn. "He looks like he's in a lot of pain."
"Dean," says Sam as he opens his eyes.
"Sammy, I'm right here," says Dean.
"Come on, let's move him to the sofa," suggests Hank as he helps Dean lift Sam up and place him on the sofa.
"I'm okay," says Sam, trying to not worry them, but he knew Dean wouldn't be too easy to convince. He looks into his eyes and somehow sends him a signal.
"Probably a bit tired. I guess," says Dean. "We've been up since last night. He just needs some sleep."
"You're welcome to stay here," says Hank. "I have a guest room and a den, with a folded out bed."
"We'll take the den," says Sam. Dean glares at him, but doesn't say anything. "Thanks."
"No, thank you."
The brothers head for the den and they were given pillows and blankets. Sam starts to pull out the bed as Dean walks back and forth and looks at Sam. He folds his arms as Sam looks back up at him.
"What?"
"You know what?" Sam sighs and stops what he is doing to face Dean.
"You know our spirit."
"Yeah."
"She's after Mr. Summers."
"He's a business man, but we don't know if he cheated on his wife."
"That's what I saw. We need to stop her."
"Sam, we've tried and ended up with…"
"Maybe if we tell Buffy…"
"No, we do this alone. Our way."
"She might be able to help us. She knows about all this stuff. It's her dad. She'd want to know."
"Tell me what?" asks Buffy as she appears at their door, seeing the two seem to be arguing about something.
"Dean," says Sam, glaring at his brother. Dean rolls his eyes at Sam and turns to Buffy.
"Look, your dad's in…" Dean begins, but stops when the electricity starts to go on the frits. Buffy looks around and feels a cold chill. "…danger. Right now."
"What?" The brothers exit their room and Buffy follows them as they head up the stairs and towards Hank's room. "Wait! Dad!"
"What's going on?" asks Dawn as she comes out of her room, awakened by the commotion. She sees Buffy, Dean, and Sam heading into her dad's bedroom. "What's up with the lights?" She quickly follows after them.
"Mr. Summers, are you all right?" asks Dean.
"Dad!" yells Buffy as she grabs the door knob to open it, but it won't budge.
"Come on, Sam, we're breaking in."
"No, I've got it." Buffy breaks the door knob and forces the door to open. She is the first one inside and sees her dad with a gun to his head. Buffy's eyes widen. "No! Stop!"
AN: What happens next? LOL. Till next time.
