Chapter 7
Disclaimer don't own anything Supernatural. Only my characters. Also I just want to let you know that Thomas is based off my friend (who is cool with the fact that I added him to this story.)So if any conversations between A.J. and Thomas seem stereotypical or a bit offensive to some, I do apologize in advance. They aren't meant to offend. They are just how me and my friend would really act around one another.
Outside Bobbie's apartment Ted was yelling and swearing up a storm. He backed up before smashing shoulder first into her door when it wouldn't budge from under him he tried again. Poor Bobbie was inside crouched behind her living room couch cowering. She let out a scream as she heard Ted hit the door again, she put her hands to her head clutching her phone in a death grip.
"Seriously, I know you have a lead foot, so why ain't we at Bobbie's all ready?"
"You wanna knock off the back seat driving there miss Daisy. I'm going as fast as I can."
A.J. looked up from the back seat at the speedometer. "Dude your pushing 75. This bad boy goes 110-130 tops! Come on you got a clear road… open this bad boy up! This is life and death here?"
"Calm down, Call her up and see what's going on." Thomas said. A.J. pulled out the phone and hit redial.
One of two things were going on here. Either Bobbie's door was made of steel or Ted wasn't a very bright man. He was still trying to break down the front door. The cops Bobbie had called earlier were nowhere to be found. Inside Bobbie was at the point of tears when her phone rang causing her to scream again. She suddenly realized what was going on and picked up the phone.
"He –hell- hello?"
"Bobbi, what's going on? Did the cops come?"
"N- n- no. He's still here he's trying to break down the door."
"Okay, Bobbie I need you to listen to me. You have to calm down we're almost there. Is he at the front door or the back?"
"The front."
"Listen when we get there I'm going to send one of my friends to the back door. I'm going to need you to go there and keep low and keep an eye out for him. If the cops aren't there me and my friends will deal with Ted out front."
"O-okay.. I'm going now."
"Remember just stay out of sight."
After what felt like forever, they finally arrived at Bobbie's. A.J. was the first out of the car and ready to head to the front and open up a can of whoop ass on Ted. A hand grabbed her shoulder and held it tight.
"Running into this isn't going to help her A.J." Sam looked down at her "Listen, Dean will go to the back and help Bobbie."
"He will?" Dean said from the side of the Impala.
"Ugh, fine. You and Thomas get her me and Sammy will deal with the Neanderthal up front." She reached into her bag and shoved something into her back pocket of her jeans be for tossing her bag into the trunk.
Slowly Dean and Thomas made their way around to the back. Dean tried the gate. It was locked. "Freakin' peachy." He mumbled as he began scaling the fence. Thomas looked apprehensively around before backing up a few feet and taking a running leap at the fence. He joined Dean near the back door a few seconds later.
Tap, tap, tap… tap, tap, tap.
Bobbie looked up and noticed Dean standing near the back door waving for her to come close. She slowly made her way to the door.
"Bobbie, open the door A.J. …"
Thomas elbowed Dean and whispered. "Lenore she told her that her name was Lenore."
"Uh, Lenore sent us." Dean quickly corrected himself.
Bobbie quickly flung the back door open and launched herself at Dean sobbing. He wrapped his arms around her and rubbed her back trying to sooth her.
A.J. slowly made her way around the house, there she saw Ted running shoulder first into the door trying to break it down. She stood at the bottom of the stairs and yelled out.
"Hey assclown!" Ted looked up. "I highly suggest you back away from the door and leave. . . NOW."
"Oh and I suppose you're going to make me?" he replied with a smug smile.
A.J. reached into the back of her jeans and pulled out a gun. "I won't but I think my friend here will." She said as the smirk quickly disappeared from his face.
Inside Sam heard sirens in the distance. "I think it's about time we got out of here."
Dean let go of Bobbie and began to walk her out the back door with the others. That's when he spotted Aurora with the gun in her hand. "Son of a bitch!" He mumbled under his breath as he handed Bobbie over to Thomas. "Hold her a second."
Dean then left the three in the back and raced to Aurora's side. "What the hell are you doing you can't shoot him!"
"Says who?" Aurora looked at Dean out of the corner of her eye as the sound of sirens got closer.
"Says them if they get here and you're still pointing that gun."
"Boy toy is right, you should listen."
"Boy toy?" Dean and A.J. said in unison.
Sam waited in the car as Thomas and Bobbie made their way over. "Where are the others?" Sam asked looking up. That's when he saw Dean next to A.J. who had a gun. A.J. was slowly reaching her hand in her back pocket just as one of the cop cars resopnded to the scene.
"Crap!" Dean said as he too quickly reached into his back pocket and fumbled for something.
The cops got out of the car guns drawn and shouting. "Put the gun down and no one gets hurt."
A.J. flipped open the badge she held in her other hand. "It's okay, I'm officer Potter. This is my partner Wesley." She nodded in Dean's direction who had his hands up showing his badge also. "We got a call about someone trying to break in and assault a woman in this residence."
Dean looked arounded and spotted Bobbie, Thomas and Sam near the Impala. "The victim is over there." He said motioning to Bobbie as the cops lowered their guns. "He's the perp." He added pointing at Ted.
"The perp? Who are you, Ponch?" A.J. said through clenched teeth.
Dean reached over placing a hand on her gun and slowly lowered it. She sighed and tucked it away as she saw a group of the officers go after Ted who had decided to run. Another group were over with Sam,Thomas and Bobbie interviewing them.
"What the hell why were you going to shoot him?"
"I wasn't going to really shoot him Dean. Look." She opened the chamber of the gun to show him it was empty. "I was going to scare him."
"Come on Annie Oakley, let's join the others." "He came to the door and began shouting demanding to be let in, I called my friend here and then called 911." They heard Bobbie say as they reached the others.
"Why would you call your friend before 911?" one of the officers asked.
"I'm an officer. She trusts me. I'm the one who told her to call 911 and told her I would get here as soon as I could." A.J. lied to the officers.
Something seemed off about one of the officers taking their statement. He kept staring at A.J as he sucked on a lollypop. He didn't seem interested in Bobbie's statement at all. A.J. looked up feeling she was being watched. She met the officer's eyes and was about to look away before he finally spoke. "Excuse me officer . . ."
"Potter." A.J. replied curtly.
"Potter, right. May I talk to you alone? Get your version of what went down."
"Sure." Off in the corner some people had since come out of their houses and were standing around the scene watching the commotion in front of them.
"Okay, so what do you want to know?"
"Start at the beginning sweet cheeks."
"Excuse me? I'm sorry, I could have sworn I just heard you call me sweet cheeks."
"Um let's just start at the beginning shall we."
She glowered at the officer in front of her. He wasn't really anything special in her opinion. Just a Latino man with short dark hair around her height which was a bit short for a guy. The only thing that stuck out to her were his eyes. They were a pretty caramel color.
"The beginning was like I said when I was over there. I had gotten a call from Bobbie asking me to come over because tall dark and gruesome was harassing her again. I told her to call the cops and that I was on my way. My partner and I came as soon as we could."
"And the others?"
"They were here. They brought her out the back way while I kept Ted busy out front."
"Ted? Do you know the suspect?"
"Not personally." She sighed puffing out her cheeks. "Let me try it this way. A while ago I attended the funeral of Ted's cousin. Bobbie came to pay her respects and Ted apparently had a problem and tried to assault her then. My fiancé and I stepped in." At the mention of a fiancé the man seemed to frown a bit. A.J. just continued. "Apparently Ted felt that she wasn't too welcome at the funeral."
"How so?" He asked popping his lollipop back in his mouth.
"I didn't catch everything, but apparently there's this whole Hatfield's & McCoy's thing going on with the family. Apparently Ted didn't know when to leave well enough alone."
"And your partner he was there too." It was more a statement than a question.
"Yes, as well as the two over with Bobbie. You know how it is. Small town, everyone knows everyone."
"Well thank you. I think you've been most helpful." He said before reaching into his pocket and handing her a lollypop. She looked rather skeptical at him. "It's okay. It doesn't bite."
"You know, my mom always taught me not to take candy from strangers, besides it's not the lollipop biting that I'm worried about." She said.
"Ha ha ha, I like you." He said pointing a finger at her. "I'm Alberto. See now we're not strangers anymore." He said wiggling the lollipop in front of her silently begging her to take it. She reached out taking it from him, unwrapping it she gave it a small hesitant lick before popping it in her mouth.
"Oh, watermelon. Me likey."
"Glad you like it." Alberto said as he turned to leave.
As A.J. joined the others she saw a few officers bring Ted back in handcuffs and tuck him into the back of the cruiser.
"Okey dokey, so now what?" She said as she eyed everyone.
"Well Kojack, we're going to go investigate the mine where they found Ted's cousin."
"Not without us you're not."
"Um, yeah. I think we are." Dean replied.
"Sammy a little help here!" They both replied at the same time, each pointing toward the other.
"They could help. We could split up and cover more ground. Besides they are posting a guard here with Bobbie."
"Well now then, that settles it." A.J. grabbed Thomas and began to shove him into the back seat of the car and climbing in herself before closing the door behind her. Sam joined them as Dean stood frozen on the spot fuming. A.J. hopped up, leaning over the front seat she rolled down the driver's side window and began honking the horn.
"C'mon, we ain't got all night. Let's go slowpoke!"
Dean mumbled curses under his breath the whole way to the car. He climbed in shutting the door behind him still mumbling to himself.
"Aww, c'mon Dean –o it'll be a blast." She said reaching over the seat again and pinching his cheeks. Thomas grabbed the back of her shirt and hauled her into the back seat. As Sam face palmed in the passenger seat.
"Get your Ass back here ya crazy biotch!"
"Hey, you almost made me choke on my lolly!"
"Well if you'd stop actin' like a crazy white chick. Speaking of lollipops a) Where's mine? And B) Where did you get it?"
"A) Your Ass ain't getting any. And B) that cop gave it to me."
"Uh, what cop?"
"Seriously ground control to Major Tom, you circuits dead or something? The Latin dude that pulled me to the side to talk."
"Oh, you mean officer Hello Nurse!" he said wagging his eyebrows.
"Eh, he's okay. Not my type. You want him, we see him again he's all yours. Though he did have gorgeous eyes."
"And a nice Ass!" A.J. smacked him playfully on the chest.
"You are hopeless, we need to get you laid, A.S.A.P." Turning her attention to the front of the car again she flicked Dean on the ear. "We need to swing by the hotel before investigating the mine. "
"Sorry honey, it's a one way trip."
"Yeah one way right past the hotel, you can stop for five minutes ya big meanie!"
"Like you said princess, one way past the hotel."
"Dean, just stop and let them get their stuff. We need some things too."
"Philistine!" Dean replied to Sam.
Ten minutes later they arrived at the hotel. Everyone but Dean piled out of the car and headed to their rooms. Dean popped in a Metallica tape and shouted out the window. "If any of you aren't back her in ten minutes with your assed in a seat I leave without you!"
"Blah, blah, blah." A.J. mimicked as she opened the door to the room her and Thomas share.
After about five minutes Sam returned tossing some things in the trunk. As soon as he settled into his seat, Dean revved the engine and sped off.
"Dean, what are you doing, what about the others? You said ten minutes!"
"I lied." Dean said not even turning to look at Sam.
"Oh, look at that we got everything we need, and with four minutes to spare. C'mon A.J. before Dean leaves us. "
"He ain't leaving us. He was just blowing smoke out his ass."
"Why is it every conversation that we have ends with one of us talking about asses?"
"Or balls." A.J. added tossing one of their bags over her shoulder. "I have to pee, I'll be out on a minute then we can go with Sam and the assclown."
A.J. headed into the bathroom to do her business. When she had finished she washed her hands and splashed some cold water on her face. Looking up into the dingy bathroom mirror, she nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw Castiel behind her.
"Jesus, Cas are you trying to give a girl a coronary?!" She gripped her chest as she stared at him.
Cas tilted his head to the side. "I don't understand."
A.J. walked out of the bathroom with Cas in toe. Thomas looked at the two and A.J just gave him a don't ask look. It was a few minutes befor Cas finally spoke.
"You need to be careful."
"Okay, cryptic much Cas. Careful of what?"
"The mine."
"How did you know we were headed to the mine?"
"Hello girl, all powerful angel remember…"
"Shut up ya nut."
"Shut don't go up."
"Wtf are you talking about?"
"You shut a computer down, you don't shut it up."
A.J. and Cas just shared a look of confusion before looking at Thomas. "What the hell is wrong with your crazy ass? Let's go."
The three walked out to look for Dean. "Wasn't the car over there?" A.J. said pointing at a now empty spot.
"Uh, yah." Thomas replied. "I told you he was going to leave."
"Son of a bitch! He ditched us! Cas, do me a favor, next time you see Dean, smite him for me will you."
Cas looked confused befor Thomas explained the short version of what happened. "I can get you there."
"Can you poof us up a car?"
"He's an angel, not Cosmo from the Fairly Odd Parents."
"Oh, shut down girl."
"Was the neck roll really necessary? Anyhow, Cas how can you get us there?" Castiel walked up and placed two fingers on each of their heads.
That's the end of chapter 7 Yes I know Dean and A.J. seem to have a terrible relationship with one another but don't worry, they will eventually grow on one another
