Two hours later, Dean and Sam pulled up to Bobby's house. The sun was just starting to drop in the sky. Lately, they were working a lot of odd creature type hunts around Bobby's area so it was easy to come by after a hard day. Bobby and Cas' little sister got along well but the boys never knew what they would be walking in on. Sometimes the two would be laughing, sometimes arguing or just sitting in the middle of a pile of books comparing notes. However, today was something new altogether.
Julianna was in a chair in the middle of the floor. Her legs were tied to the front of the chair and her hands were tied behind her back attached to the back of the chair. That girl wasn't going anywhere. To top it off, she had a red bandanna around her mouth.
Dean and Sam instinctively drew their weapons but quickly realized there were no monsters involved.
Julianna was rolling her eyes at them in disgust and Bobby was sitting at his desk reading a paper, having a drink. He didn't even look up.
Dean raised his eyebrows and asked, "Bobby? What the hell is going on here? "
"Time out"
Again, Julianna made a huffing noise behind the gag over her mouth and rolled her eyes once more.
"Did you say time out Bobby?" Sam asked as if he heard it wrong.
"Yep"
The boys put their weapons away and walked past Julianna as if she wasn't there. Julianna watched them walk past her in disbelief. Thinking, are they really going to just leave me here?
Bobby handed Dean a shot of whiskey and he took the drink gratefully. Well, this was a new one.
He glanced over to Julianna and said to Bobby, "So, wanna talk about it?"
"Nope"
Bobby kept reading his paper, barely looking up.
"Um Bobby?" Sam started. "How about we take the gag off Jules so she can tell us?"
"Nope. No talking in time out. You know the rules Sam."
Julianna started trying to yell through the gag but it was useless and sounded only like muffled frustration. Sam swore he heard a few curse words in there somewhere.
Dean threw his hands up and sat down on the couch to relax. Sam looked at him and once again the two of them had one of their unspoken conversations. If anyone else had been able to hear it, it probably would have sounded something like this.
Sam: "We can't just leave her like this"
Dean: "Yes we can, it's between her and Bobby"
Sam: "Dean"
Dean: "Let them work it out Sammy."
But, of course they never actually spoke a word. They didn't have to. They had these types of private conversations as long as they can remember.
So, Sam sat down and started research on his lap top.
Julianna stopped wriggling and stopped trying to talk through the gag. She seemed resigned to the fact that she was going to be in that chair until Bobby decided otherwise.
Dean smirked and spoke up again.
"Hey Bobby, do you think it would have been better to put the chair in the middle of a devil trap? You know, just to be on the safe side?"
Julianna glared at him.
