Bobby presented Will and I with shot glasses of water, I looked at Will and he picked up on what I was thinking "How is this supposed to quench my thirst?" The look in his eyes said everything is ok, just drink the shot, and Bobby will get us a longer drink. We both drank down the shots and Will turned to Bobby and said "Satisfied, can I get a beer now and Sam will have tea if you've got it, if not regular water 'not holy water." I looked quizzically at Will, and mouthed 'holy water'.
Bobby said "Sure and disappeared into the kitchen to get what we wanted". Will turned to me and explained that this was a test Bobby did with everyone that he hadn't seen in a while. The shot glasses contained a shot of holy water and that this would detect if the person had become possessed since the last time he had seen them, and more so with me as he had never met me before.
While we were waiting for Bobby to return with the drinks, Will told me that he had met Bobby when he was nineteen and he had just lost his parents to a demon attack. Will's parents were killed in what the local police referred to as a B&E gone wrong, he didn't know at the time that it was a demon attack. It was a couple of weeks after the accident and a FBI agent called 'Robert Plant' turned up at the house asking a series of what he thought were very strange questions. The police never solved the case, and this led Will to studying Law at Stanford and then at Northeastern. He joined the police in Bisbee, Arizona where he worked his up from beat cop to Homicide Detective and then joined the FBI and later NCIS. During his time as a Homicide cop in Bisbee he discovered that there was no FBI agent 'Robert Plant' and there never had been. This sent Will off trying to find who this person was and why he had turned up impersonating an FBI agent asking those strange questions.
At this point Bobby returned with the beer and tea, I was dying for a coffee but was avoiding caffeine whilst I was pregnant. Bobby handed us the drinks, moved some of the books off the sofa and asked us to sit down. At this point Bobby took up the story; he said that through his contacts he had heard that William Talbot was trying to track down an FBI agent 'Robert Plant'. Bobby knew that this was one of the names he used when investigating and he recognized Talbot from a case he had investigated years earlier to avoid red flags being thrown up, he called William Talbot and arranged to meet. Will and Bobby met and Bobby explained what had killed Will's parents, and about hunters. At first Will was unsure, however after Bobby showed him what he found out about his parents death Will started to believe.
Will took the chance at the natural break in the history to introduce Bobby and myself. As soon as Will started to explain who I was, Bobby's whole composure changed, it was though he appeared to crumble in on himself. Will picked up on this immediately and asked 'What's up?' Bobby said he wanted me to prove I was a Winchester, this was not entirely unexpected and I reached for my bag and my paperwork. Bobby looked it over quickly and said he wanted to validate everything, again not unexpected in order to give him a chance to run the paperwork we excused ourselves and left to stay at a local hotel. We
said we would be back in a couple of days to give him the opportunity to check that I was in fact who I said I was.
We got to the hotel, about 30 minutes away, checked in and went out and found a really good local restaurant grabbed something to eat and went back to the hotel where we crashed out, it had been a long day after all. I woke up a couple of times in the night the twins were moving around more than usual and kept kicking my bladder, I was also starting to think that something major was about to happen but I didn't know what. We spent the following day, investigating Sioux County, South Dakota where Bobby's salvage yard was based.
After we left Bobby was on the phone to Sam and Dean asking them whether or not they had an Aunt Samantha. As the boys had both been so young last time we had met, and after their father had taken them on the road we were no longer in touch their response was "NO!" Bobby hung up and started to do the background checks that hunters do, he checked birth records, college transcripts, employment history, and security clearance. Two days later, Bobby phoned Sam and Dean back and told them that he thought that they should drop by the salvage yard as there was someone that they needed to meet, who had information about their father. He then phoned Will and told him that he had run all of his checks and that I had "checked out" as he phrased it and that we should drop by the salvage yard in a couple of days.
