Haunting on Train 99

I was boarding a train from Philly to Miami with my two old friends I met through hunting. We've been hunting on and off together for a few years now, but we've known each other since we were younger. Anyway this is not a vacation, I don't think the word vacation is even in our vocabulary.

So we boarded the train around 4:30pm and had three seats. Numbers 22, 23, and 24. Dean decided to sit with me, more than likely to bug the hell out of me. Sam agreed to sit in the other spot where he was seated next to a nice older gentleman who liked to yammer his ear off.

We were only an hour into the whole ride and I'm pretty sure Sam knows this man's first 30 years of life. Dean took the window seat and every few seconds he'd either poke me, whisper in my ear, or walk down to the cafe car to get a slice of pie.

I finally had enough after three hours of him walking here and there, poking me, and whispering in my ear. It would be fine if he actually liked me, but I'm pretty sure on this train alone he's already mentally did half of the girls he's seen.

He went to get up again and I said, "Dean, I swear if you get up one more time I'm going to push you off this train."

"Well, someone sure is cranky today," Dean said with a laugh.

"I'm just here to do our job, Dean. Not banging half the train, poking me like crazy, whispering in my ear, and buying all of the pies they have," I said.

"If you don't like it so much then why are you even here? We didn't ask you to stay with us," Dean said.

"Dean come on," Sam said from his chair.

"It's fine Sam. You want to know why I'm here, I'm here to hunt and keep you two nincompoops out of trouble, but that's not an easy job. I know you didn't ask for that, but you two are the only real friends I have. I'm going to the cafe car, don't follow me," I said.

I got up and walked to the cafe car. Thankfully I made it there without falling on my face from the bumpy tracks. I found an empty table in the car and took a seat. I watched the trees roll by the window and every so often there would be a small town either out in the distance or close to the tracks. It was starting to get dark outside, but I honestly wasn't paying attention.

I should have though because apparently the train's ghost likes to come out at sundown and wreak havoc until morning. I just watched the scenery go by, well what I could see of it anyway, and thought about what Dean said. Why was I here? Why did I stick around for so long? I guess I just thought since everything that's been happening in our lives and between Heaven, Hell, and Earth. It be nice to stick together.

I guess Dean doesn't see it that way, I'm just a burden to him. I mean I am almost seven years younger than him and three years younger than Sam. So technically I'm like the little sister tagging along with her big brothers, but if Dean was my brother, the thoughts I've been having for the past two years are not sibling friendly.

Maybe I have over welcomed my stay a bit. Maybe this will be our last case together. I looked around the car and noticed it was surprisingly empty, scarily empty. Just as I felt it was really strange the lights flickered on and off.

"Oh fudge," I whispered.

I went over to the counter to find some salt. As I dug around to get salt, the air got extremely cold and my breath came out crystal clear. I turned around and standing in front of me was a tall ghostly male with eerie dark eyes and nasty teeth.

Thankfully I was able to grab a small salt shaker from the counter and I tossed it right at the figure. He let out a piercing ghostly yell and evaporated into nothing. He was gone for now, but who knew when he'd come back and where. I heard banging on the sliding doors of the café car and someone trying to get it open.

"Timi! Open the door. Are you okay?" I heard Dean's panicked voice say from behind the doors.

"Timi?" I heard Sam say also in a panicked voice.

I opened the door and as soon as I did Dean's arms were around me.

"Don't scare me like this, Beautiful. I thought everything I said to you back there would be my last and it would suck being my last words to you. I'm sorry I was a jerk," Dean said.

"It's fine, Dean. I wasn't too nice back there either, so I'm sorry too," I said.

"Good now that we have that all cleared up and sorted out. If you guys are done with that chick flick moment, we have a ghost to take care of," Sam said with a small smile.

"Shut it, Sammy. It wasn't a chick flick moment. It was just... I don't know what it was, but it wasn't a chick flick. Now let's go hunt down this son of a bitch," Dean said.

We looked around almost every train car. We looked under seats, in between then, in the overhead compartment, and any other nook and cranny we could find. Of course we were getting tons of looks, but we just told everyone we were health inspectors.

"I'm not getting anything on the EMF reader," Dean said.

"Yeah, me either," Sam said.

"The only other place we didn't check is the luggage. Timi I want you to ask around the employees to see if they noticed anything weird, or know of something that's been on this train longer than it should have," Dean said.

"All right, will do," I said.

I went to all the different employees who worked this train, and they all said they just started working this train recently. Guess once the other employees saw it was haunted they wanted a different train or route. I was down to the last employee when I finally found what I was looking for.

"Yes I've been working this train for five years. I haven't really noticed anything strange going on, but I did see the ghost a few times creepy looking fella if you ask me. I really haven't thought of anything unusual but now that you say that I have smelled like a rotten tuna smell by this one black trunk in our luggage carrier. Come to think of it I don't think that that trunk ever moved off of here," A nice older employee, named Jane, explained.

"Thanks I think that's all I needed for my report," I said to her.

"No problem," she said.

I dialed Dean's number as I quickly made my way to the luggage car.

"Hey, tell me you have something," Dean said.

"I do, only one employee noticed there has been the same black trunk in the car for almost five years. She said sometimes she can smell a faint tuna smell," I said.

"Timi I only caught bits and pieces, we're breaking..." Dean said before the line dropped.

"Dammit," I mumbled to myself.

I was just about to reach the luggage car when I was thrown back into the other door. I looked up and saw the creepy man I saw earlier. He growled at me and I tried to plan my escape but there was nowhere to go. I covered myself waiting for something to happen, but it never came. I looked up in time to see the ghost go up into blue flames. I let out a sigh and leaned my head against the wall.

"Timi, you okay?" Dean asked.

"Yeah I'm good. Just give me a minute," I said with a half-smile.

"All right. We couldn't have done it without you, you know?" he said.

"Yeah I know. Because I'm awesome," I said as I got up.

"Ha-ha, sure lets go with that. Because we all know who the real awesome person is here," Dean said.

"Yeah, Sam. Right Sam?" I said.

"Yep," Sam laughed.

"You two suck. I mean I'm batman, after all," Dean said as he puffed out his chest.

"Yeah, your batman," Sam and I said to together.

We started laughing as we headed back to our seats.

Dean following behind us saying, "You know you're just jealous."

We returned to our seats enjoying the rest of our trip together and having a great time. Bobby was waiting for us with Deans Impala and it was back to the drawing board figuring out our next case.
