.:Chapter 9:.
Dean and Lulu were standing on a porch of a home in downtown Madison. Lulu peeked over at Dean she could see by the look on his face that he was pissed; after all they had been standing here for at least thirty minutes after ringing the doorbell five times.
"Good god where is this dude!" he shouted
"You sure you saw a car in the garage."
"Yeah."
"Maybe he went for a quick walk."
"We told him we were coming!"
"Maybe he thought he would have time to go out real quick." Lulu spotted a bench swing next to Dean "Let's sit here and wait then." she moved over to it and sat down. Dean just gave a look that said 'Are you serious?' she patted the seat beckoning him to sit. He decided it would be best to do so and sat next to her.
"So..." Lulu began "Have you guys found any more clues about where your dad is?"
Dean looked at her with a bit of sadness in his eyes "Uh...no actually, to tell you the truth I don't really think we'll ever find him."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, we keep looking for him but every time we think we're getting closer he seems to disappear into thin air again."
"How do Sam and Angel feel about this?"
"I...Uh...haven't exactly told them about what I actually think."
"I see."
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just..."
"Hard?"
Dean looked at her as she finished his sentence, "Yeah, really hard."
Lulu placed a hand on his and rubbed the back of it with her thumb, "I know the feeling."
Dean looked down at her hand then up to her chocolate brown eyes, he could tell that she was telling him the truth. "When exactly have you found it hard to tell someone something?"
"Oh, it happened when I was a girl."
"Oh?" he looked into her eyes questioningly.
"Yeah, there was this guy I met who had a cute little brother and an adopted sister who looked younger than she really was."
"Oh really?" Dean smiled realizing she was talking about him.
"Mm-hm, he was a total ass when I first met him, but after a while we became rather close and one day we were outside alone and something amazing happened."
"Amazing huh, and what exactly would that be?" he chuckled.
"I confessed to him."
"Really?"
"Yep."
"Did he return your feelings?"
"Yep, and then we made out until his siblings caught us."
"Did this guy have a name by chance?" He asked as they scooted closer together.
"Yeah, I think his name was Dean-something, I think his last name started with a "W"" she giggled a little as Dean got closer.
"So," he began "You really think my brother's cute?" they both burst into laughter, now holding hands and slightly swinging.
"Excuse me," they both looked up as a voice interrupted their moment, it was an old man wearing a dress shirt and kakis coming up on to the porch "Are you the people I was supposed to talk to?"
Lulu stood from the swing and held her hand out for the man to shake "Yes, my name is Lulu Gapore and this is my..."
"Boyfriend," Dean suddenly announced while shaking the man's hand "Dean Winchester."
"And how may I help you two today?"
"We just moved into town and we're also a couple of history buff's and we were wondering if you could just tell us some things about the Lanier family." Dean said as he placed an arm around Lulu's shoulders.
"The Lanier family?"
"Yeah we're kind of writing a book about towns we've lived in and their most historical families." Lulu answered
"Oh is that so, I would be happy to help you both." he quickly took out his keys and opened the door "Please come inside." they entered his home and were ushered into his living room where they sat and talked of a tragic family past.
~...~
Sam awoke when he heard someone yelling outside, he got up, doing his best not to wake Angel, and went to the door looking through the peep hole to see who had the nerve to ruin his and Angel's nap. It was a man and a woman fighting over something Sam didn't really care about, he opened the door slightly and poked his head out.
"Excuse me." he began causing the couple to look up at him "We're trying to sleep in here, would you mind toning it down a bit, please?" they both apologized and ran into their room next door.
"Sam...?" he heard Angel's small voice from behind him; he turned around to see she was sitting up in the bed rubbing one of her eyes sleepily.
"Did those people wake you up?" he asked her.
"Yeah, I guess." she stretched her arms into the air and yawned.
Sam closed the door and walked over to her as she stretched throwing his arms around her, and with her arms already over her head she placed them around his neck. The distance between them was almost non-existent as Sam laid many kisses on her face, his lips touched all over her face except for her own lips causing Angel whimper. Sensing what she wanted, Sam gently placed his lips upon hers loving how soft and warm they felt. He pulled back and grabbed her waist lifting her into the air. Of course Angel's automatic reaction was to tighten her grip on his neck and pull herself closer to him and even wrapping her little legs around his waist.
"Sam, what are you doing?!"
"Multi-tasking."
He carried her to the table and grabbed his laptop then walked back over to the bed, sitting down with Angel in his lap.
"You know, you could've done all that without the effort."
"Yeah but I did it any way." he chuckled "After all I don't want you to let go just yet."
"Whatever, your just too spoiled I guess."
"Yeah, but not as spoiled as you."
"Oh, is that a fact?" "According to me, yeah."
He placed his hands on her waist again and flipped her around in his lap so she faced the T.V.
"What are doing now?"
"Still multi-tasking."
Sam opened his computer and started researching again while he hugged Angel from behind. He kept typing away until he felt Angel's body go limp and her breathing get slower, he looked down at her to see she was asleep once again. He chuckled a bit and pulled her closer to his chest feeling the warm, soft skin on her face. He chuckled to himself brushing some hair from her face, 'I can't believe I used to think of her as a sister.' he thought 'Angel was always around me while growing up she rarely, left my side, and in school she would cry because she felt alone.' Sam began to remember a certain time when they were in Junior High.
Flashback
Sam, age 13
Angel age 10 (late birthday)
Dean age 17
Lulu age 14
Sam was walking down the halls of the school him and his siblings were attending, the good thing about this school was that it was a high school and a Junior high school mixed together so if needed Dean and Lulu were at an arms reach. Sam continued down the hallway keeping an eye out for Angel as he did, this was the usual time she would meet him so they could quickly find Dean and Lulu to go home, the school wasn't exactly nice to the four kids. Angel seemed to have the worst out of all of them, they found out she had dyslexia and bullies seemed to find out about it and would constantly pick on her for it.
After about twenty minutes Sam was starting to panic, he had looked everywhere for Angel and couldn't seem to find her. He looked everywhere, he even asked a random girl to see if she was hiding in the bathroom. Sam ran down every hallway asking anyone he ran into if they had seen her, no one had seen her at all. When he turned the next corner he spotted Dean and Lulu standing by some lockers and ran straight to them. Dean was the first to notice his brother running towards them, "Sammy, what's wrong?" he asked. Sam was out of breath from running around so much that he couldn't answer, Dean looked around and noticed the absence of a certain little, "Sammy, where's Angel?"
Sam looked up at his brother worriedly "I can't find her any where Dean!"
Dean's eyes widened in fear "Have looked everywhere?!"
"Yes everywhere, and I can't find her!"
Lulu placed a hand on his shoulder "It's okay Sammy, we're going to find her."
At that moment the P.A. system went off and a scraggy voice chanted "Dean and Sam Winchester please report to the principles office."
The boys looked at each other in worry, going to the office would only slow their search. Lulu placed a hand on both of their shoulders, "Go ahead you two, I'll continue the search out here." She patted them both and walked off in the other direction.
"C'mon Sammy, let's get this over with." Dean said sounding quite agitated.
When they reached the office they were directed to the door of their principle, . They entered the room and Sam automatically noticed Angel sitting in one of the seats in front of the desk.
"Angel!" the boys shouted as they ran to her, smothering her with hugs.
"Ahem." they both looked up to see Mrs. Faux giving them a look that said "Are you done now?"
They both backed away when Sam suddenly noticed something on Angel's face, "Angel, where did you get that bruise?"
Angel gasped and placed one of her little hands over her cheek to cover it, Sam quickly removed her hand and stared at the dark mark on her little cheek.
Dean stared at it as well and gave Mrs. Faux a dirty look, "Who did this?" he asked.
Mrs. Faux just pointed to Angel and said "Ask her."
Sam and Dean looked at Angel waiting for an answer, Angel looked up at her brothers and sighed "Justin Macintosh…" The boys went wide-eyed, they both knew who that was and this guy was a huge, he was at least five times Angel's size.
"Where is he?" Dean asked with a bit of anger in his voice.
"In the hospital." answered with a sly grin on her face.
Dean was a bit confused but he placed a hand on Angel's head and ruffled her hair, "Did a knight in shining armor come to your aid?"
"No." Angel answer calmly.
"A ninja?"
"Nope."
"Angel, who helped you?" Sam asked
"No one."
"You mean to tell me, me, Dean Winchester, that you took down Justin Macintosh on your own."
"Yes."
"How?"
"He said something that pissed me off."
"What did he say?" Sam asked
"He said that you and Dean and Daddy and Lulu, that you guys were all nuts and that we all belonged in the crazy house!"
"So you hit him?
"Yes, I hit him, I kicked him, I bit him, and I scratched him."
"Angel…" Sam walked over to her and pulled her into a hug "Your such a good little girl." he whispered
"I'd do anything for you Sam…"
End Flashback
About an hour later Dean and Lulu came charging in with bags of food in their hands, Sam was reluctant to do so but he woke Angel so she could eat and hear more about their case.
"So, what did you find?" Angel asked
"Well…" Lulu began "We found out that Martha Lanier has no grave anywhere cause apparently she decided to have her ass cremated."
"So what are we going to do?"
"I don't know you guys run into these kind of problems more than me."
"Why is there salt everywhere?" They heard Dean ask.
"Oh yeah." Sam began "we had a little visitor while you were out."
"The ghostly kind?"
"Yeah."
"It didn't hurt you guys?"
"Not when we threw salt and iron in it's face."
"Good, hope the bitch learned her lesson."
"Now what are we going to do?" Angel asked
"Not sure." Dean answered "I'll call Bobby in a minute and see what he says."
