He picked up after the third ring. "Dean?" you asked, after dialing the number he had given you earlier that day. "Yeah, hey. How'd it go?" he questioned. "Well... in a word, horrible. He thinks I'm off my rocker." you answered. "Sorry about that kiddo. I know it can be hard with family, but you'll get to give him a big fat I-told-ya-so after we get you outta this mess okay?" he said. "Yeah, okay. Thanks. But... is there even a way to get me out of this?" you asked, dreading the answer. "There is, but..." he trailed off. "But? But what?" you urged. "but its kind of difficult. We've done it before, but I'm not sure it'll work again." he finished. You sighed. You knew that there might not be a chance of you surviving this. "Well... positive thoughts." you answered, having anything but. "Positive thoughts." he echoed. "You know, you're having an awful lot of 'positive thoughts' for someone on death row." he said. "Yeah, well, I've been trying not to think about that part." you snapped. "Sorry." you sighed. "Just... what's the plan?" you asked. "Well, for the plan, we're going to need the name of the crossroads demon you dealed with. Do you remember if they gave you a name or not?" he asked. "Crowley." you answered, saying the name that had been haunting you out loud for the first time. "Son of a..." he mumbled. "Crowley?! Really?" he asked. "...Yeah...?" you said, precarious, and confused by his sudden change in tone. "You realize he's the King of Hell now, right?" he asked. "What?!" you squeaked. "Last time it was just the Crossroads!" you said. "So... there's virtually no chance of me getting out of the deal, right?" you sighed. "No! No. We can still get you out of it, its just... the chances are... slimmer." he said. "Great. No, no. That... that's... fantastic. Just... thanks for trying." you said, having already given up. "Hey, listen you seem like a good person, okay? I fact... you remind me a bit of myself. Just more... female. And your not a lost cause, okay? We're not giving up, my brother and I, cause you see... that's our job, okay? Your gonna get out of this, and your gonna get out of it alive. Now... you should get some sleep, because tomorrow, we have a demon to summon."
