The impala pull up on an old dirt road that leads to an abandoned factory. The boys try not to stay in one place for to long but it's nice to have a home base. The building was decrepit and most of it was caved in but it served its purpose. Castiel helped the boys carry their bags into the building. Sam went straight to the computer set up. Maps and news paper clippings covered the walls.

"Cas." Dean said as Castiel walked past him. Cas dropped a bag on one of the tables, he didn't respond to Dean. "Cas I need to talk to you, in private. Please stop ignoring me." he said in a hush tone. Castiel finally turned and looked at him.

"Fine Dean let's go talk." he said without emotion. Cas followed Dean back outside. Dean paced a bit, struggling to find the right words. He finally stopped and faced Cas, who was looking at him with a slight turn to his head.

"Cas what you said back there, what did you mean by that?" Dean was nervous. Cas could tell too, he was also nervous. Does he tell him about his confused feelings? But what if things change between them and not for the good, he wouldn't be able to bare it. Cas did not want Dean to push him away.

"You two are under my charge, and I will not let anything stop me from my duty to protect you." he said blankly.

"Are you sure, that that's all." Dean searched Castiel's face for a sign of the true meaning.

"I have to admit that spending all this time with the two of you I do feel like we are family. But the bottom line is yes I do want to protect you two."

"A-alright." Dean wasn't sure if he was lying or not he's hard to read at the moment.

Sam busted throw the door "Guys!….um am I interrupting?" Dean didn't notice but they were standing a bit too close. He took a step back from Cas.

"What's wrong Sam." Cas asked. The two followed him inside. Sam gestured to his computer screen.

"I was looking for another case. Seeing if there were any omens or whatever. I found an article about a girl who was released from a mental hospital who thought demons were trying to take over her body. So-"

"Get to the point Sam." Dean didn't like long and confusing things. When Sam tried to explain how he was able to get internet access way out here, dean's head literally hurt.

"The girl has an account on this website and her last entery was "Winchesters please help." don't you think that's weird?"

"Good job Sam." Cas said

"Yeah but how are we gonna find her to ask if she needs actual help." dean said sarcastically.

"Well the article lists a town, we go there and ask around see if anyone knows her." Sam didn't know what was up with dean he seemed more irritable then usual.

"Fine. We'll head out in the morning." Dean started to walk away.

"But you two just got back from a case." Cas blurted out. "I mean shouldn't you take a couple days off to rest?"

"Cas don't start this again. If this girl needs help we go and help her every second counts in fact we shoulda left already but we do best when we are rested. So that's the plan alright." Dean left the room.

They had converted some old offices into makeshift rooms even Cas had one, not that he needed it but dean didn't want to leave him out. The brothers had fallen to sleep so Cas went to his "room" which didn't have a cot in it like the others but just a dusty desk and chair. Cas went over and sat down, it creaked loudly. He knew it was silly staying here and waiting till they woke up but there was no where he rather be. Even when dean is in one of his moods he never wants to leave his side.

When the two woke up Cas was already packing what they needed. There was even breakfast burritos on the table. They wanted to leave early so bad well now they can leave even earlier. They walked up to the food. Sam looked at his suspiciously. Dean just dug in, almost choking he ate it so fast.

"Don't worry Sam it is healthy. I made it my self. I got the eggs from-" of course Dean interrupted Cas.

"Come on let's head out." Sam looked at Dean then Cas. What was going on with him?

A long car ride later they arrived at their destination. It was good sized town. They parked in front of a classic diner which had music playing on the out side of it. Sam got out at went to a near by pay phone. Looking for the girl's name in the phone book. Dean's stomach growled. He started to walk to the entrance of the diner.

"Damn, I don't see her in here. Its weird nobody with that last name lives here." Sam looked at dean who had his hand on the door handle. He let go with a sigh. It was a goose chase. Just then the music crackled and stopped. A strange voice replaced it.

"Well the rumors were true. The knights in shinning armor, here to save the damsel in distress. So predictable. And frankly cliché." The brothers looked at each other, with a nod they pull out their guns.

"Oh woe is me. Winchesters help!" the voice mocked with snicker to top it off.

There was silence. They survey the area, there is no one to be seen. Cas was on edge. He could tell there were people in the building that surrounded them. When he turned to report to dean what he knew he was surprised by a figure standing behind Dean.

"Dean!" Cas shouted. But when dean meets eyes with him he disappears. Cas's heart felt like it stopped. Dean vanished along with the figure. He didn't see who or what it was.

"DEAN?!" Sam yelled. He hadn't seen the stranger so he franticly searched the street for his brother.

Just then the street filled with people. They rushed over to where Sam and Cas were standing. Some had guns and they pointed them at Sam.

"Sam we need to leave. Now" Cas didn't want to leave but he had to keep Sam safe. He started to reach for Sam.

"No! I'm not leaving with out Dean!" he evaded Cas's touch. "What did you do to my brother?!"

The crowd encircled them selves around Sam and Cas coming in between them. Cas did not like that.

One of them spoke "All he wanted was the shorter one, so we can shoot him right?"

Another "Who the hell is the third one? He just said there would be two."

"Who are you working for!?" Sam started to recite the demon exorcism incantation.

"Sam they are all human. They aren't being possessed."

"Let's just kill them now." one on the citizens said.
