Dean and Sam were tired of sitting in the waiting room, wondering how Faye's surgery was going. A nurse finally came out
"Are you with Faye?" The nurse asked
"Yeah" Dean replied, "How's she doing?"
"She's fine now, she's out of surgery the doctor was able to stitch her up" The nurse said
"Is she going to be okay?" Dean asked
"She'll be fine, the worst is over but we'd like to keep her in for observation over night though" The nurse replied
"Can we see her?" Dean asked
"We have to transfer her to a room but as soon as we do we'll let you know and you can see her" The nurse said, walking away. Shortly, after that Dean and Sam were told what room she was in and headed straight for it
"So you're really worried about her" Sam said
"She's in there because of me Sam, I'm sick of watching people risk their lives for me" Dean said, they got to the door and saw Faye sitting up in her bed in a hospital gown.
"Hey" Faye said
"Should you really be moving?" Dean asked concerned
"I've been hurt worse before Dean I'm fine" Faye replied, holding her shoulder and wincing, "I could do with a drink"
"I saw a vending machine just down the hall" Dean said, walking out of the room quickly
"I was thinking more of an alcoholic one but okay" Faye said to herself
"You sure you're okay?" Sam asked
"Yeah Sam" Faye replied
"Thanks for doing that….for saving Dean" Sam said
"You don't need to thank me Sam" Faye replied
"You care about him don't you" Sam said
"Like he said, we're hunters, we take care of our own" Faye said, knowing that Sam wasn't going to buy it
Dean walked back into the room with a can of soda and put it on the bedside table next to Faye
"Guys I'll be fine seriously, you two can go rest its late" Faye said
"What are you going to do?" Dean asked, "What if those demons come back?"
"They weren't after me remember?" Faye replied, "Besides it's a hospital"
"Faye…" Dean said
"Dean honestly go, I'll let you know when I get out okay" Faye said
Dean could take the hint and he and Sam said their goodbyes and went back to the motel. They got back into their room and Sam went straight to bed, still drained from his withdrawal episode the night before. Dean still couldn't sleep, he was contemplating whether or not to call Faye and see how she was doing but didn't want to wake her up if she was still sleeping at the hospital. It was really late at night and he heard a noise coming from outside, startled he jumped up and grabbed his gun. He opened the door and peeked outside towards Faye's room and just saw the door close. He closed the door to his room and walked over there, expecting to find a demon sneaking into Faye's room but instead seeing Faye. Dean knocked on the door and stepped inside when Faye opened it
"I thought you said you were going to let me know when you got out" Dean said
"I was just going to go over and see if you were awake" Faye replied
"How did you get here?" Dean asked, remembering how they had left her car at the church
"I took a cab" Faye said, wondering why Dean was so worried, "They wanted to keep me there overnight but I hate hospitals so I checked myself out and came back here"
Dean took his gun from his belt and placed it on the table, noticing his blood soaked jacket hanging on the back of the chair.
"I was going to soak it overnight to try and get the blood out" Faye said
"Faye I don't care about the jacket, I've gotten plenty of blood stains out of it before" Dean said, walking over to her and running his fingers across the stitches on her shoulder, "You didn't have to do what you did"
"Yes I did" Faye replied, "They were Belial's demons"
"But it was the bounty on my head not yours" Dean said
Faye cupped his cheek with her hand and kissed him. Dean started to feel strange, not knowing why he felt this way every time he was around her. They started to kiss passionately and in the heat of the moment Dean grabbed her hips, accidentally grabbing the spot where the other demon had stabbed her. Faye winced and Dean pulled back a little.
"Sorry" Dean said
"I'm fine Dean" Faye replied, starting to kiss him again
"Maybe we shouldn't do this" Dean said, worried about Faye's recent wounds
"Dean…." Faye said, pulling his forehead to hers and looking into his eyes, "I'm okay"
Dean couldn't help himself even though he was worried he kept going, making sure to be as gentle as possible.
The next morning Dean woke up to an empty bed, he looked around and wondered where Faye had gone. As he got dressed he looked around and noticed that all of her stuff was gone, he grabbed his keys and walked outside looking for her car in the parking lot but couldn't find it.
"She left" Sam said, coming out of the motel room he had been staying in
"When?" Dean asked
"Middle of the night" Sam replied, "Anyway, I found something strange we should check it out"
Weeks later, Dean stared at the beer Bobby had offered him, thinking about the last night he spent with Faye. He looked over at Bobby and took a sip of his beer.
"So that's it?" Bobby asked
"Yep" Dean replied non-chalantly
"C'mon Dean we'll find a way" Sam said, trying to convince not only his brother but himself
"Sam when God gives up its time to throw the towel in" Dean said, not wanting to hear Sam's optimistic crap
"Have you told Faye?" Bobby asked
"Why?" Dean wondered
"Well isn't the whole reason you're helping her so you can get the light of god?" Bobby stated, "I mean it's not like you need it anymore, Faye's problems are her own now"
"I don't think the light of god is the whole reason" Sam said under his breath
"And what the hell is that supposed to mean?" Dean asked angrily
"All I'm saying is it's hard to believe we're helping her just for the necklace if you two are always in bed together" Sam replied angrily
"In bed together?" Bobby asked, "Dammit Dean can't you keep it in your pants even when I tell you the girl is untrustworthy?"
Dean said nothing he just stood up shaking his head and slammed the chair he was sitting in back under the table
"You might want to see this before you storm outta here" Bobby said, wheeling himself over to the cabinet and taking out a file
"What's this?" Dean asked, opening it. He saw photos inside and picked one up, "What in the hell"
Sam walked over and picked up another one of the photos, "Dad?"
The photo Dean had was a picture taken of his dad and Faye hugging and the photo Sam was looking at was one of him kissing Faye's cheek.
"Who took these?" Dean asked
"A woman named Erica Dunway hired a private investigator to trail Faye, didn't tell him why but he did tell me there was something going on between John and Faye" Bobby said
"As in sleeping together?" Sam asked curiously
"Sam!" Dean exclaimed disgusted, "The man was literally old enough to be her father"
"Had to ask" Sam said, looking at the photo again
"No you idiot, he said they were planning something together, I knew your father knew Faye but I had no idea they were that close" Bobby said
"This is getting ridiculous" Dean said, "Why do you have all this?"
"I told you I don't trust her and you boys are already in way over your head without getting caught up with people like her" Bobby said, "Look at the paper"
Dean saw the paper in the file Bobby was talking about and read it
"She changed her name" Dean said
"Just before she started hunting Belial" Bobby replied
"So?" Dean asked
"Her original name, Faye Tripley, there's a record of her birth in 1982 nothing else, and the name she uses now only has records since 2005" Bobby replied
"So she's basically a ghost?" Sam asked
"What about her car?" Dean asked, "She'd have needed a lot of money to buy that"
"That's the other thing, the car registration doesn't exit, the DMV has no record of it" Bobby replied, "Something's up with that girl Dean, whoever she really is, and she doesn't want anybody to find out"
Bobby was interrupted by his mobile ringing and he wheeled his chair over to the table to answer it
"Hello" Bobby said, Sam sat next to Dean while Bobby was on the phone
"So what are you thinking?" Sam asked
"I'm thinking it's none of our business, we don't need her stupid necklace anymore since God abandoned us" Dean replied
"You're not even the least bit curious about the woman you've been sleeping with?" Sam asked
"Of course I'm curious Sam but we've got more important things to worry about right now like…I don't know the apocalypse?" Dean snapped back
"Looks like you've got one more thing to worry about" Bobby stated, hanging up the phone, "A buddy of mine that told me about the private investigator said he saw Faye's car on the other side of town"
"She's here?" Dean asked
"Apparently, which means she's probably after Belial" Bobby replied
"Great" Dean said, taking out his mobile and dialling Faye's number, "She told me if he was down this way again she'd call so I can warn you"
Dean waited as the phone rang out and he got Faye's voicemail
"Screw this, I'm going to see what she's up to" Dean said, standing up and grabbing his keys
"I'm coming with you" Sam said, standing up
"Call me when you find her, if Belial's here I want to know about it" Bobby said
Dean and Sam parked behind Faye's car and got out
"What the hell is she doing here" Dean said, looking around at the empty woodland in front of them, he tried calling Faye but got her voicemail again
Sam and Dean both took out guns just in case and started to walk down the path through the woods.
"What do you think is with Faye and Dad?" Sam asked
"I don't know" Dean replied, trying to concentrate on watching out around them
"Remember when she slapped you" Sam said
"Yeah what about it?" Dean asked
"She said she owed Dad that" Sam replied, "What do you think she meant?"
"I don't know Sam, why don't you ask her when we find her" Dean said, he took out his mobile again a rang Faye's phone, they could hear the ringtone faintly in the distance, "That can't be good"
They kept following the sound of Faye's phone and finally caught sight of Faye, slumped on the ground at the trunk of a big tree. Dean and Sam ran over to her, carefully watching around them for any signs of demons. At first Dean thought Belial must have gotten to her but then as he lifted Faye up to sit upright he noticed an empty bottle of tequila in her hands.
"I don't think she was hunting Belial" Sam said bluntly, as Dean checked for a pulse
"She's barely got a pulse" Dean said, he handed Sam his car keys and picked Faye up into his arms, "C'mon, you're driving"
Bobby wheeled himself into the hospital room Dean had told him to come to
"What the hell happened?" Bobby asked
"I don't know" Dean replied, looking over at Faye from his chair
"Dean, she almost drank herself to death that's what happened" Sam said
"I knew she drank but why would she do that?" Bobby asked
"I don't know, we just found her slumped over on the ground near Morison park" Dean replied, "They had to resuscitate her when we got here and pump her stomach"
Before Bobby had a chance to say anything else a man dressed in a trenchcoat walked into the room
"Derek? What the heck are you doing here?" Bobby asked
"I'm guessing this is Faye" Derek replied
"And you are?" Dean asked confused
"Derek's the buddy of mine who tracked down the private investigator" Bobby said
"I've tracked down a lot more for you, you owe me a few favours by the way" Derek stated, taking a file out of his trench coat and handing it to Bobby, "My advice? Stay away from this girl Bobby, she's in way over her head"
"Why?" Bobby asked
"You'll see" Derek replied, walking out of the room
Bobby opened the file and had a look inside, Dean and Sam were expecting him to say something but he didn't
"Bobby?" Dean asked, worried about Bobby's silence and about what Derek had said
"Wow" Bobby said
"What?" Sam asked
Bobby didn't say anything, he just wheeled himself closer to Dean and passed him a piece of paper, Dean took it from him and got the surprise of his life when he read it
"What is it?" Sam asked, seeing the look on Dean's face. Dean stayed silent for a moment
"It's a marriage certificate" Dean replied.
