Jo swallowed hard and wiped her eyes lightly as she looked at the battered remains of the Roadhouse. Despite the fact that she loved hunting, she had always loved the fact that she had a place to call home and go back to at the end of everything. Now the roadhouse was gone, Ellen was gone and for the first time, Jo felt truly alone. Suddenly, she felt an arm around her shoulder and she saw Dean smiling gently at her.
"We're gonna figure this out Jo. I promise." Jo nodded and smiled at Dean wiping the rest of her tears on the sleeve of her blue jacket.
"So, I think I know why Cas wanted us to come here." said Sam from behind them.
The two turned around immediately at Sam and stared at him.
"Well, I've been doing some research and a couple of girls have been found dead at a nearby town in the last few weeks."
"Okay…but what does this have to do with me?" asked Jo confusedly.
"Well, all three girls were between 20 and 26 and all three of them were blondes. Plus, they were found dead at the field next to the local pub and all three of their boyfriends have gone missing within the last week." Sam went on.
"Wait, the girls were taken a few weeks ago but the guys all went missing last week?" asked Dean wrinkling his forehead. "There's no pattern there."
"Well, is there a connection between the girls?" asked Jo looking intently at Sam feeling there was more to come.
"Well, umm all 3 of the girls were orphans and used to work as bartenders at the pub next to the field where they were found." said Sam looking uncomfortable.
"So, basically they all have an uncanny resemblance to me." Jo looked unsurprised.
"Yeah, pretty much. Except for the boyfriend part that is." Sam looked at Dean with a slight smirk. Dean glared at Sam.
"Well, okay but why would Cas want us to take this hunt? I mean, how is it gonna save Jo?" asked Dean still looking confused.
"I think I know." said Jo looking form Sam to Dean. "This case is exactly like the first one I took with you guys. That Holmes dude? This is a similar MO. I'm guessing they want us to finish this hunt and probably Dean does some soul searching crap along the way." Jo smirked at Dean as he glared at her.
"Well, I say we go to the town and check it out. But how do we get the spirit's attention?" asked Sam with the tiniest of grins.
"Well, were all these girls the outdoor type or the nail polish type?" asked Dean grinning as well.
'Nail polish, definitely nail polish. They were cheerleaders and homecoming queens and everything."
"Well, I guess we have some shopping to do." smirked Dean as Jo groaned. He knew how much she hated shopping and dresses.
-x-x-x-
"Oh my God! This is ridiculous. I look like some sort of cheerleader chick." shrieked Jo from the bathroom.
Dean's eyebrows shot way up as Sam chuckled softly.
"Well, that's the point smartass. Now get in here before I come in and get you." called Dean.
"I'd like to see you try." said Jo but opened the door anyway.
Dean's jaw dropped. She was wearing a dark blue satin dress that reached mid-thigh. It was strapless and showed off her curves perfectly. Plus, she was wearing mascara and a light pink lipstick and spiky blue heels.
"Wow, umm, you look umm..." Dean struggled to find the right word.
"Stupid?" supplied Jo with a smirk.
"I was thinking somewhere along the lines of hot actually, but I guess stupid works too." said Dean smirking back at her. Jo stuck her tongue out at Dean and turned towards the mirror, working her hair up into an elegant twist.
"Okay, let's go." said Dean jumping up from the bed.
"Umm…Dean?" Sam smiled strangely. "You're posing as Jo's boyfriend remember? So, you've got to change too." He pulled out a crisp white shirt with a black jacket and blue jeans along with a black tie.
Dean and Jo stared at Sam for a second and then Jo burst into loud giggles. Dean stared at Sam with an expression that could only be described as appalled.
"Sammy, you know I don't do ties."
"Oh come on Dean-O." said Jo still laughing. "We'll make it look hot."
"Make it look hot? Woman, I AM hot." Dean snatched up the clothes and got into the bathroom leaving two very amused people in his wake.
