"Hello Dean."
"Jesus!" Dean jolted, almost swirving of the road before regaining control. He looked to his right and saw his friend sitting their staring at him.
"Hey Cass." Dean sighed.
"Are you alright?"Yeah Cass, i'm, i'm good." Dean said, "How are you?" Castiel looked in front of him, watching all the otherr cars move past them. "I'm okay." He answered, "Where is Sam?"He's keeping busy. He's tracking a vamp in Omaha as we speak, i'm heading out there right now to meet up with him."Well i'd come if i could but..."No, no it's okay." Dean told him, "How are things going upstairs?"
"Not well." Castiel told him, "Things are a little better now that we've got the weapons to help us but Raphaels army outnumbers us, so we are at a disadvantage on the battlefields. I was going to join a battle but i thought i'd check in first."
Dean sighed, "Well look Cass, if there is anything me, Sam or Bobby can do to help..." Cass cut him off, "Thank you for offering Dean but the fight is in Heaven, that really negates any possibility of human help."
"Alright." Dean said, "Any word on Satan junior being alive?" Castiel glanced at his friend before answering, "I have a few of my soldiers walking the Earth, searching for him but they haven't found anything yet. I'd look for him myself but my soldiers need me in Heaven. Without me or Balthazar there, there is nowone to command them."
"Where is your frat buddy? Never really see you without him anymore."His current mission is on Earth. I haven't seen him in a few days, i should check in with him too before i return." Castiel paused before asking, "Is Meg still locked up in the panic room?"Yeah." Dean answered, "She asks us to feed her a couple meals a day, other than that we do our best to forget shes down there. If we don't figure out away to use her to get to Crowley soon, i think i'll just kill her. Its not like we need her."
"I think it would be wise to keep her alive, Dean. She may or may not be useful in finding Crowley but she could be useful in the future with different concerns. And she's not dangerous to us or anyone around us, because she needs our help, our protection from Crowley and my guess is alot of others too."
"She's a Demon, Cass."So is Crowley Dean. We used him and helped him during the Apocalapse too. And that was your idea Dean."
Dean remained silent, because he knew what his trenchcoated friend was saying was true.
After a moment Castiel broke the silence, "I need to go. Call me if you need me." And before Dean could say anything he heard the sound of flapping wings, he turned to where his friend was sitting and saw he was driving alone once again.
"Well goodbye to you to Cass."
"Gotta say Red," Bobby spoke to trapped Demon, "For a filthy low-life hellspawn, you've seemed to turn yourself into a damn fine hunter. I don't know whether to kill ya or kiss ya." the Demon chuckled, "Oh please, kill me."It was you who dug ot that nest of vamps in Swan Valley wasn't it?" Bobby asked.
"Nice work." Sam said.
"Eight of them in one go, roped and tied." the Demon bragged. "And then you took'em to Crowley right."Haha." the Demon chuckled, "Read the papers you redneck. The King is dead." Bobby laughed and tipped his bottle of holy water on the Demon. It growled in agony as it burnt him.
"Crowley is alive." Bobby said, seriously, "You prove it just by being you poor, dumb, jackass! Crowleys alive, his nets are still out, except now he's using you schmucks to hunt his monsters."
"Up yours!" the Demon snarled back at the hunter. Bobby looked to Sam and took the Demon killing knife from him. The Demon eyed it wearily as Dean walked into the room, calling for Sam. As Sam followed Dean, Bobby turned back to the Demon.
"Where is Crowley?" the Demon rolled his eyes at the hunter. "Nothing?" Bobby said, "Alright then Red, hold on to this for a bit?" Bobby slammed the knife into the Demons kneecap. He screamed in agony as his eyes turned black while Bobby left the room.
"Whats up?"I saw Cass, he popped in on me about two hours back." said Dean. "What'd you tell him?"Nothing," Dean said, angrily, "I told we were on some stupid Vamp hunt, he doesn't know we're getting close to Crowley." Dean sighed, "You know, he's our friend and we're lying to him through our teeth. I mean so he burned the wrong bones, so Crowley tricked him!"He's an Angel boy!" Bobby told him, "An Angel, a smart one and ever since the big man upstairs brought him back last time, he's a powerful one too. It's not like him to make a mistake like that."
"Look Dean," Sam said, "He's our friend to and i'd die for him, i would but we have to be smart about this. We'll find Crowley and than we'll see what happens with Cass, alright? We need to get this guy to talk now."
Dean shook his head at his brother and friends words and walked into the room with the Demon. "Where is Crowley, dickbag?"Up yours!"
Dean took hold of the knife in the Demons kneecap and twisted it. The Demon screamed and screamed louder when Dean moved the knife through his leg. "UH!" the Demon screamed, "I don't know where Crowley is."
"Are you sure about that?" Bobby asked, "Cause we can twist all the way to next summer."I never even met him." sobbed the Demon, "I don't deal with Crowley direct."Well who do you deal with."The dispatcher." the Demon sobbed, "A Demon named Allisworth."
"Where can we find him?" asked Sam. "I don't know. We contact him through the blood cup ritual."Ok whatever that is." Dean rolled his eyes, "If Demons are being dispatched to catch monsters for Crowley, what monsters are they going after? Where are they looking?"
"Everywhere." the Demon said, clearly given up on trying not to break, "We're searching all over the world for them. All i know is there supposed to be a big hunt on this Friday night. Ten of us are going to be dispatched for one hunt."
"If you can take out a full nest of Vamps by yourself, why would Crowley send ten Demons for one hunt?" asked Bobby, "Because its supposed to be a strong monster. Alot of us think its an Alpha."Oh thats just great, to get a new lead on Crowley we gotta take on ten Demons and the big kahuna of an entire monster species, thats just great." Dean said with sarcasm.
"What Alpha is it?" asked Sam sitting down on a chair. The Demon stayed silent. Bobby grabbed the knife and twisted it again. "WHICH ALPHA IS IT?"
"The Alpha Werewolf!" The Demon yelled'in pain, "The full moons this friday, the plan was to track it down by listening for it's howl."You Demons can't hear all across the globe, so where is this Alpha supposed to be at on friday?"
"Allisworth said the mission was going to be in New York." This confused the three hunters. Creatures like werewolves subconciously preferred to stay in small towns or remote areas, so their was less chance of witnesses on the full moon.
"Well Red." Bobby began, "Thanks for all the info now that you've given it, your no use to us anymore." He said taking the knife from the Demons leg. The Demon struggled against the chains holding but it was pointless and Bobby shoved the knife into the Demons heart. An orange light flashed in the Demons eyes as he died.
"Well it looks like we're going to the Big Apple." Dean said, "Hold on," Sam began, "We don't have super hearing like Demons do, we're not going to be able hear a werewolves howl in a city that big, with what, ten million people there."
The three hunters knew this was true and remained quiet till Dean broke the silence. "No but we have Meg and Cass. They'd be able to hear it." Dean said. "I don't like bringing Cass in on this."Bobby said, "If Cass is working with Crowley, we're just gonna tell him we're closing in on his partner in crime?"Yeah but he's not working with Crowley, so we have no reason to keep this from him." said Dean, angrily.
"Deans right Bobby. We can't do this without Cass."
Bobby reached for the glass of scotch next to him and raised it in a toast, "Team Free Will is back again i guess."
(A/N: I tried to write this scene where they asked Cass to help them find the Alpha Werewolf and the Demons with it like half a dozen times, but i was never happy with it so i skipped it to where they find the Alpha and the Demons.)
"Hey i dont care," Allisworth said, to the Demon through the blood-filled cup, "Alright, i want you to get down to New Mexico and bag me that Wendigo." He turned to another cup and replied to the message he heard from it, "Because the King says we're done with them okay."
Allisworth picked up the telephone beside him after it's first ring, "F.B.I, Thomas speaking." He said in a polited business tone, "Absolutely i sent them, thanks for calling to check. You have a good day now, bye-bye."
"Hey!" Allisworth called to the two Demon who had left a tied up monster in the middle of the room, "No not i nhere ya friggin yetti, out back." He sighed and looked down before looking back at the two Demons.
Castiel walked quickly into the room and before either of the two Demons could move grabbed them by the throat and chokeslammed them on to the floor. He placed his hands on their four heads and a whit flash of light camed from their eyes as he destroyed them. He than looked to the Demon at the desk at the back of the room.
"Oh hell." Allisworth said, before smoking out of his vessel, trying to escape the Angel, but before he could leave Castiel grabbed the smoke by his hand and forced it back into the man and kept his hand on the Demons face, destroying him.
As he stepped back from the Demon, his friends entered the house.
"Not bad Cassie." Balthazar said, "Three of them in one go, not bad at all."Hey wait a minute," Bobby said, "You killed all of the Demons. Now we have no lead to finding Crowley!"I'm sure the King would pop in here now and again."said Meg, "Now we just got to wait until he does."
"That could be days, weeks even," Bobby snarled, "And thats if you don't fly off and tell your butt buddy that we're here waiting for him you stupid dick!" The hunter said to Cass. "Excuse me, old man?" Balthazar asked, taking a step towards the hunter but Castiel placed an arm on his shoulder. "What are you talking about Bobby?" asked Castiel, "I'm to talking about you working with that dick King Crowley." Bobby shot back at him.
"And why would you think that?" Castiel asked, calmly, but Sam answered before Bobby, "Look Cass, we were just thinking that maybe you let Crowley live, back at the ware house and you torched the wrong bones, we just didn't think yoi'd make mistake like that."
Castiel remained silent as the three hunters stared at him for a moment before he spoke, "Okay, i undertsand that you think i may be the perfect tool and can't make a mistake or be outsmarted but your wrong. Crowley was smart keeping decoy bones close to him to keep him safe from his enemies. I'm not working with Crowley and i didn't let him live. Believe me, Sam, Dean, Bobby... If i were working with him, i wouldn't keep it from you, because despite what you believe, i don't care what you think about my actions."
Balthazar chuckled, "It's about time you reminded them your not their manservant."
"Hey, look Cass Dean began, but Castiel raised a hand for silence, "We will forget about this. I see no more reason to discuss this."
"Well what are we going to do now Cass?" Balthazar asked his brother, "We can't wait down here for days or weeks, you've got an army to command up there!" He said pointing upwards to the Heavens.
"Your right." Castiel told his brother, "I'm sure there is something around here that will lead us to Crowley. We do have what Crowley wants, the Alpha Werewolf." He said pointing to the tied up monster in the middle of the room.
"Well that settle it." Dean said, "Crowleys gonna want the Alpha, it's a pretty big fish. So we hold it till Crowley comes for it and then we kill'em both."
Suddenly Deans phone rang inside his jacket. He pulled it out and looked at the caller I.D. which says, Lisa calling.
"It's Lisa." He said to his friends around him, "Hello, Lisa."
"Hello Dean." said a familiar voice, that wiped the small smile of Deans face. "Whos this?" Dean asked, knowing he'd heard the voice before but not being able to put his finger on it.
"Really Dean, you've forgotten me already?"
"You son of a bitch! Crowley!" Dean explode into the phone, "I swear if youb hurt them Crowley cut him off, "You'll what Dean? You and ya mates will hunt me down and kill, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've heard it all before. But you're hunting me down any way, so nothings changed now."
"What do you want?" Dean asked, glancing around at his friends who all had expression of anger and surprise on their faces. "Well Dean, i thought that would be pretty obvious." Crowley said, "Ya see when one of my employees go missing, and the trail of a Demon whore goes cold, i can only come to one conclusion. The Demon whore has ratted me out to another pack of my enemies. See i knew you'd be coming after me, so i set the bait and waited till the bait went missing and than made this little phone call. i had no problems with you boys, even after you tried to kill me, i left you's alone but when you find out i'm still alive, you still come after me. Yo ever heard the expression, don't poke the bear?"
"You still haven't told me what you wanted Crowley?" Dean said, after the Demon had finished his rant. He heard Crowley sigh into the phone.
"You see, it's very simple Dean, you have something i want, i have something that you want, it's a simple swap at a location of my choosing. Bring the Alpha, i'll bring your girlfriend and her offspring."
"Fine!" Dean snarled, "Where and when?"I'll text you the location tomorrow." Crowley answered, "Oh and remember Dean, i want the Alpha, in good enough condition to talk. Liquid silver keeps them tamed but if that Alpha isn't in good enough condition to tell me where Purgatory is, i guarantee you, your girl and her boy ain't gonna be in any condition to do anything. Bring the Alpha unharmed and i'll treat Lisa and Ben like royalty."
"Alright!" Dean shouted, "Alright but they better be okay or i'm gonna chop this wolfs fucking head off! "Text you tomorrow Dean," Crowley said, ignoring Deans threat, "See ya soon."
"Fuck!" Dean shouted, snapping his phone shut, "He's got Lisa and Ben."Shit!" Sam and Balthazar grunted in unison as Bobby muttered, "Balls!"
"But how did he get to them?" Balthazar asked, looking at Castiel"but Dean spoke before the Angel could reply, "I don't know how he found, the point is he has the and we need to get them back!"
Balthazar turned to the angry hunter, annoyed, "No arguments there asshole, i never said we wouldn't get them backm what i'm wondering is how he took them!"
"Calm down, everyone!" Castiel said, firmly, "Balthazar, go to Lisa and Bens residents and check to see if Ariel and Thor are alive and if they are, find out how Crowley got past them. Meg, you go with him, now!"
Balthazar turned to Meg and placed a hand on the Demons shoulder, "Lets go, bitch." And with the usual flapping of wings, Castiel and the three hunters were alone in the room, Dean staring at Castiel.
"Who the hell are Ariel and Thor?" "They're Angels. Soldiers of mine, that i assigned to watching over Lisa and Ben, living on the same street. If Crowley got to Lisa and Ben, he would've had to get threw them. Ariel and Thor wouldn't disobey my orders, so my guess is, if Crowley has Lisa and Ben, Ariel and Thor are dead." He bowed his head at this, as he knew he had just lost two more of his soldiers, his kin.
"When did you send Angels to spy on my family?" asked, Dean. "Almost a year ago." Castiel answered, "We need to go and prepare for the exchange." "What exchange?" Bobby and Sa asked, at the same time. Dean sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration, "Crowley wants the Alpha in exchange for Lisa and Ben. He'll tell us where to meet him tomorrow."
"Dean, we can't just give Crowley the Alpha." Bobby said, "We can't just let him pop open Purgatory." "It'll take awhile before he finds a door to Purgatory, Bobby." Castiel stated, "There isn't a creature alive today that knows how to open Purgatory. The Alphas may have the answers but i doubt they know their the key."
"Look!" Dean said, "We get back Lisa and Ben, even if i have to give Crowley this stupid dog, i'm not gonna lose them." "We'll get them back, Dean." Sam said to his brother, "I promise."
Castiel walked over to the the tied up Alpha. He pointed his hand at the unconcious wolf and the ropes holding him were suddenly replaced with pure silver chains.
"They'll hold him for awhile." Castiel told the hunters, "When he wakes up he'll break out of them slowly, so you should get some liquid silver and try to keep him weak and unconcious. The Alpha Werewolf has its strength and ability to change constantly, they don't need a full moon."
"Great, so what are you going to do?" asked Dean, "I'll retuen to Heaven." Castiel answered, "Pray for me when Crowley contacts you. I'll come with you to ensure Lisa and Ben return safely."
Dean sighs, "Thanks Cass." "Do you wish for me to return you all home?"" Castiel asked. "Thats probably best." Bobby said, "I wouldn't wanna risk that Alpha getting loose while travelling."
"As you wish." The Angel said. The next thing the three hunters knew, they were standing in Bobbys living room, with the unconcious Alpha lying beside them but Castieol wasn't there with them.
As Bobby chained the Alpha up in the panic room and Sam went to bed to get some sleep, Dean sat at Bobby desk with a glass of whiskey, know for sure he wasn't gonna get any sleep tonight.
A/N: Please review. I know this chapter focused on Crowley with basically no Raphael, bu their both gonna play major roles in this story. Hope you enjoyed it. :)
