Chapter Nine: Bad Company:
Dad and I were on a case together where a man was said to been killed by a local legend of some girl named Lily was killed by her much older lover. It was day two and another guy ended up dead. I was on the computer doing some research when dad came back, "find anything?" I asked, he sighed and said "I think we're dealing with a trickster". "What makes you say that?" I asked, "The first guy Nick Cole was some big shot at work also had a thing for younger girls and the second guy Eric J. Miller tested on animals..." dad began and I chimed in "and Nick was supposedly killed by Lily's ghost and Eric was eaten by animals". Dad looked at me then said "and they're both big shots, the type of guys a trickster goes after". "I think we should split up. You go to one scene and I will go to the other" I said then added "that way more ground can be covered". Dad went to the first crime scene and I went to the second scene to see if we can find anything.
I got to the crime scene and showed the officer my badge. I was looking was looking for wrappers or anything sweet, when a tall caramel haired man who worked for the crime scene clean up, came up to me "so sweet-heart watcha looking for" he said eyeing me up and down. "Evidence" I said plainly, "but wasn't the guy was mauled?" the man asked. I rolled my eyes and said "maybe someone commanded the animal to attack". He considers this, and then I turned my attention back to the crime scene looking everywhere. I was walking around while the guy became my shadow, I couldn't find anything. I sighed in frustration; either this trickster was smart enough to clean up or this was just a freak accident.
I turned around to see the guy inches away from me .I jumped when I saw him, but gained my composer, he held his hand out "the name's George" he said, I took his hand and said "Laura". He held my hand longer than I would like, however I pulled my hand away when my phone rang. "Hello?" I asked "Emma, where the hell are you?" dad snapped. "Yes, Brennan I'm on my way" I said, "what?" dad asked clearing he was confused, "I didn't find anything but I'm heading back" I said. "Just get your ass over here" dad said sternly then he hung up the phone, "it was nice meeting you George but I have to go" I told him, "who was that? Your boyfriend?" he asked a bit cheeky, "What?! No. He's my boss and I'm kind of in trouble. So I should be going" I told him. "Why don't we meet up later?" he asked smiling at me seductively, I have to admit George was pretty cute but he wasn't my really my type and I liked Castiel. "Sorry, no. it sort of goes against rules" I said trying to walk away.
"Come 'awn your boss won't know" he said giving me a coy smile, I sighed and said "sorry but I'm not interested". I walked around him "why not?" he looked offended. "I like someone else" I told him and got into my car. I got to the motel and found dad sitting at the table "did you find anything?" I asked hopefully. "No?" he said, I sighed "are you sure it's a trickster?" I asked, he looked over at me and gave me a bitch-face. "Sorry" I said, we did some more digging and then decided to go out and eat. My mind wondered to George, I had a feeling something was up with him.
"Hey dad, didn't you say that you faced a trickster with the boys" I asked him to which he replies "yeah so?" "What did he look like?" I asked, I had feeling that George wasn't who he says he was. Dad rambled off what he looked like, "great" I said "What?" dad asked with a quizzical look on his face, "the trickster was there and he tried to ask me out" I said and flinched 'should not have mentioned that' I muttered. "He what!" dad exclaimed, "I told him no" I reassured him. Dad got a call and apparently another victim was found. We got to the crime scene "agents Carter Brennan and Laura Ellsworth" dad introduced us. I was looking for wrappers or anything that can link the trickster to the scene, again. "Couldn't stay away" I heard someone say, I sighed and turned around to see the trickster. "Yeah, I like looking at dead people" I turned around and started my search again. "So why are the feds involved?" he asked, "why are you so noisy" I asked. I looked over and saw that dad was in what I like to call 'papa bear' mode.
He was staring daggers at the trickster, but he had his back to dad trying to hide his face. "Please go on a date with me" he said pouting a bit. "Goes against rules" I said "Can't you break this one, just for me" he gave me another pout, "I'm not interested" I told him again. He sighed in frustration "it's that other guy, hun? What's he got that I don't have?" he sounded like a little kid. "One he's cuter, two he's nicer, and three he's a bit clueless which I find adorable" I said, I've never told anyone why I like Castiel or even that I liked him. But there are more reasons I like Castiel than the ones I listed. "Ouch" he said a humiliated look on his face. But he tired one more time, getting irritated I asked "If I say yes will you leave me alone". He smiled and said "if you say yes, I don't think I could", I rolled my eyes and said "sure why not".
We talked about meeting at some restaurant and that we'll meet up at eight. Dad and I got home, I told him that I was going out with the trickster and that he should get what we need to kill him. "Emma why'd the hell did you say yes?!" he asked me "like I said to get him distracted" I told him, dad went on a rant and said this trickster is one of the most powerful things the boys faced, dad can be a bit over protective at times and he once threaten a boy who was about to kiss me. That would've been my first kiss but it wasn't. After that event most boys at school, avoided me like I had the worst cases of B.O. Yes I've never had my first kiss yet and it's embarrassing. Even guys who are hunters avoid me because of my dad and the boys.
"Dad I'll be fine. If anything gets out of hand I'll kick his ass" I reassured him, dad didn't look too happy. But he reluctantly agreed.
The trickster and I were seating at a booth, talking. I of course was lying keeping my cover as an F.B.I agent. But I had the feeling that he was lying too, and then the topic of family came up. "So have any brothers?" he asked but he knew the answer "yeah two older brothers" I said then added "what about you?" He sighed and said "I have four older brothers and a younger brother and sister". "Wow, that's a lot of kids" I said, "you have no idea" he mumbled. I ignored his comment and asked "are you close with your family?" he looked sad and said "haven't seen them in years". "Why?" I asked. I don't think I could ever ignore my family for years, maybe a couple of weeks but never years. "My older brothers were always fighting and I got sick of it so I left" he sounded selfish and bratty, "that doesn't mean you can just leave and never return." I said angrily, "so when your brothers are fighting you never leave?" he said looking grim and hostile, "I've left them believe me, but I always returned they're my family and I love them. Yeah they may have their bitch-fits and act like selfish bastards but their family. I can't turn my back on them. Plus they put up with me all the time, the least I can do is put up with them " I told him, breathing heavily now.
"You don't understand my family" he said through gritted teeth. We stared each other down although if looks could kill, I'd be obliterated. "What don't I understand?" I asked, I could tell he wasn't lying about his family. No one gets that mad over something they made up. "you wouldn't understand sweet-heart" he said quietly a taut expression on his face. We sat in silence for the rest of our date, after dinner was done he walked me to my car, but didn't try anything "I should get going" I said. I got in my car and drove back to the motel, "dad" I asked I saw he was sitting in a chair he looked relived when he saw me "I'm still alive" I told. "Did you get everything?" I asked, "yes" he said angrily. "Dad, I'm fine. The guy didn't even try anything on me" I tried to get him to calm down.
A few hours later and we were at the trickster's house, dad found it when I was on my date. "Ready?" Dad asked with the wooden stake in hand he went the back of the house and I went in the front. Dad told me he and the boys went up against this trickster, and that the guy almost killed them. I didn't know of what to aspect. I walked into the house and it had tacky decoration. "Emma" I heard a voice say, I twirled around to see a caramel haired man. "George or whatever your name is" I said, he looked confused and said "our date was a trick?" I nodded my head, he looked impressed and said "wow, smarter than your brothers". I was distracting him while dad crept up behind him.
"Why'd you want to go out with me?" I asked and noticed dad was close to stabbing him "honestly? I was looking for sympathy points. Which I didn't get" he sounded disappointed, "maybe if you weren't so selfish you would get some" I told him coldly. He looked me with hostilely in his eyes, I saw that dad was about to stabbed him. I quickly grabbed the trickster and crashed my lips to his but I kissed him awkwardly and somewhat sloppily. It wasn't how I imagined my first kiss to be, I always thought there would be some type of spark and I would feel butterflies in my belly. But I didn't feel anything. I think that might be because I liked Castiel or the fact I'm trying to distract the trickster. Either way my first kissed sucked.
I felt him gasp and then watched as he fell to the floor, hopefully dead. Dad and I got out of there as fast as we could, and driving off. We were now on the road "why'd you have to kiss him?" he had been chastising me for hours about going out with strangers and more importantly about kissing said strangers. "He would have killed you!" I tried to reason; dad huffed and continued to chastise me on kissing men who are evil. I tired blocked dad out the rest of the car ride.
Note: The trickster/ Gabriel doesn't like Emma. He just wanted to mess with her head. Also this takes place during the episode wishful thinking.
P.S: I hope I had Gabriel and Bobby in character. Tell me if I did or didn't
P.s: next chapter will be with Emma and Castiel
