Allons-y!
Dean and Castiel spend an hour watching television while Sam tapped away on his laptop, trying to find out information.
"Hey Dean, c'mere," Sam spoke up.
Dean glanced over at his brother. "What did you find?"
Sam waited until Dean came over. "I looked up the house where that lady resides. It's called the Rose Mary house, supposedly haunted. It's had fifteen residents in the past two months, all claiming paranormal activity."
Dean frowned. "You think this lady has something to do with it?"
Sam shrugged. "It's possible, but I don't see how," Sam said. "I mean, if she threw Cas out the moment he came in, how could those people possibly have moved in?"
"Well, she knew Cas was an angel," Dean said. "Maybe she only appeared to him and not to the others because they weren't a threat."
"Cas wasn't a threat either," Sam pointed out.
Dean grumbled to himself and glanced at the computer. "What else does it say?"
Sam sighed and returned his focus to the screen. "Not much. The site just shows a bunch of items left behind by the original owner of the house, Mary Rosa."
Dean raised an eyebrow in interest. "What kind of items?"
"Collectibles, mostly," Sam answered, scrolling through the site. "It's mostly just a bunch of necklaces and rings. There's a couple of mirrors and clothes also."
"Any seem particularly interesting?" Dean asked.
Sam searched through the items, pausing on a necklace. "This looks suspicious," Sam said. "Called the Spider Web necklace. The spider hanging from it is a Huntsman spider."
Dean rested his hands on the table. "So maybe this lady scares the people by making this necklace come alive?"
Sam shrugged. "It's possible. I mean, it says here the Huntsman spider isn't dangerous to humans, but a bite from it can cause nausea, headaches, and even heart palpitations."
Dean glanced at his brother. "Alright, so… haunted necklace. Should be easy enough to destroy."
Sam glared at his brother. "What about that item you sent Cas to investigate? Do you even know what it is?"
Dean shook his head. "No, it's not this necklace. It's some kind of chest."
Sam scrolled through the items once again. "Doesn't show anything about a chest here, Dean."
"Well maybe she hid it," Dean snapped. "Look, we'll solve this whole ordeal tomorrow once we get the riddle. Cas will be an angel, get his memories back, and then we'll take care of that lady."
"Is it really going to be that easy?" Sam questioned.
Dean glared at his brother. "Stay positive."
Sam shrugged and then shut off his laptop. "I'm going to go get some food. Can I have the keys?"
Dean dug out the keys from his pocket. "You put one scratch on my baby-"
Sam rolled his eyes. "Your car will be fine, Dean."
Dean watched Sam leave and then went to go sit by Castiel, who was still watching television.
"How you holdin' up Cas?" Dean asked.
"I've been thinking Dean," Castiel began. "I heard what you and Sam were talking about, the necklace and the house. What if the riddle involves finding that item?"
"What makes you think that?" Dean questioned, intrigued. It wasn't a bad guess at all.
"Well, if that lady truly is controlling that necklace, then wouldn't she want someone like us to find it?" Castiel asked. "She's been keeping it secret all this time; maybe she wants someone to take it from her."
Dean held up a hand. "Wait a minute Cas. You're saying you think she actually wants help with this necklace?"
Castiel gave a shrug before returning his attention to the television. "It's my guess."
Dean merely nodded and then leaned back in the couch to watch television with Castiel.
"Y'know, when a spirit stays too long, they get too vengeful," Castiel spoke up after a long silence. "Maybe that's what's happening to this lady."
Dean nodded in response. "Well, seeing as we have no other theory, I suppose that is out best bet," Dean replied and then patted Castiel. "Look at you, Detective Castiel."
Castiel glanced over at Dean, brows furrowed, obviously not understanding.
Dean gave a chuckle and shook his head. "Never mind Cas," Dean said. "Let's just watch TV for now."
A/N: Hmmm… not really where I wanted to end it, but next chapter will be longer. I need time to figure out what this riddle is going to be ^^;
Until next time!
