A/N: I know that was a long wait, but hey I bring you a gift. ENJOY ;-)
The clacking of heels interrupted the officer as he was watching his favorite reality show. He looked up to see the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. She was wearing a short black skirt, with a matching blazer, her hair pulled back in a tight bun, a pair of square rimmed glasses on her face. The officer quickly dusted the powdered sugar from his hands and face before quickly getting to his feet and walking over to the counter.
"May I help you with something miss?" the officer ask and the woman smiled, he red lipstick glistening.
"Yes, I believe you brought in a patient of mines" she replied. "Tall, short hair, rambling about fairies"
"Oh, so he's a patient of yours?" the officer asked. "I knew that guy was a few fries short of a happy meal" he shook his head. "Do you have some ID?"
"Yes" the woman reached into her bag and pulled out her identification and handed it to the man.
"Dr. Marylyn Charles of Appletree Mental institution" the officer read before handing her the id back. "Well I'll go get your patient"
"Thank you" she replied with a smile before watching as the office disappeared behind a door. She sighed before placing her ID back in her bag. She looked up to see the officer and behind him Dean, hands in cuffs.
"Looks like today is your lucky day" the officer said looking back to Dean. "You get to leave with the pretty lady"
"Dr. Charles" Dean said and the woman just nodded.
"Is there something I need to sign?" she asked looking over to the officers.
"Yes, I have some release papers here" the officer went behind the desk to get the papers.
The woman just looked over to Dean and shook her head. All he did was shrug his shoulders
"Sign here" the officer said. She walked over and signed the papers. "You're all set" he turned and walked over to Dean. "I better not catch you in my town attacking people, understand?"
"Yes, sir" Dean replied as the officer took off the cuffs.
"Do you need any help getting him to your car?" the officer asked.
"No thank you" she replied. "I think I can handle him" she looked back over to Dean. "Dean, let's go" she turned and walked out the door and Dean followed not without giving one more nod to the officer.
Once inside the car Dean looked over at the woman who just got him out of the pen.
"You just had to come as Dr. Marylyn Charles huh?" Dean asked smiling at his wife.
"Well she gets results" Katie replied starting the engine.
"I think it's her clothes that gets results" Dean replied. "Skirt's kind of short don't you think?"
"No, I don't" Katie replied before stickling out her tongue at the man.
"Where did you get this car?" Dean asked looking around the hybrid.
"Where do you think I got it" Katie replied pulling off. "This looks like the car of psychiatrist of a made up mental institution" It didn't take long to find the spot she was supposed to meet Sam. She pulled over to the side of the road before turning and looking at Dean.
"What?" Dean asked.
"Fight the fairies!" Katie said in her best Dean voice. "You fight those fairies" she burst out into a fit of laughter. "That's the funniest thing I've ever seen."
"Laugh it up princess" Dean replied shaking his head and turning to look out the window.
"Aw, don't be like that" Katie replied reaching to pull her hair free from the bun. She shook her hair as it fell past her shoulders. Dean turned as she reached down and took off the high heels. "See none of this would've happened if you would've just let me help"
"Not this again" Dean sighed. "We've been through this before"
"Yeah, we have and the fact still remains that I just can't stop because I'm pregnant" Katie replied. "Especially when there's something else is coming"
"Something is always coming" Dean replied. "But that doesn't mean you're the one who's supposed to stop it" he shook his head. "It's too dangerous and I'm not risking it, so yeah, no more hunting for you and that's final" she was silent, not because she didn't have anything to say, but because she was afraid of what she might say. Dean looked over to her. "Look you and that kid in there, all I got" she looked over to him. "There are way too many close calls in this job, and we just can't afford them right now" she turned back and looked ahead. "Say something" they heard the familiar rumble of the impala's engine. Dean looked to see Sam pulling up before turning back to Katie. "We should go" she just turned and got out of the car.
"So it worked" Sam said as Katie walked toward him. She didn't say anything as she walked past him go get into the impala. He looked over to see Dean walking toward him. "Did I miss something?"
"Don't worry about it Sam" Dean said before walking past his brother as well.
The moment they walked into the room, Katie made a bee line for the bathroom slamming the door behind her.
"I get not having a soul means, I don't understand a lot about people's feelings" Sam said as he threw his bag on the bed. "But I know she's upset"
"Leave it alone Sam" Dean replied lying down on the other bed. Sam went to digging around his bag but stopped.
"There's something you're not telling me" Sam said and Dean sighed. "Does it have to do with why she's so upset" Dean didn't say anything. "Well she only gets that pissed about something you did, when you're an ass" Dean just shook his head. "When you're an ass you start barking orders like you're dad or something"
"Sam, will you just leave it alone" Dean said sitting up from the bed. "It's none of your business ok, so just butt out"
The bathroom door open and Katie walked out now wearing a pair of blue jeans and a long sleeve black shirt. She walked over and put her clothes in her bag. She grabbed her other bag and sat it on the table that sat in the room. She pulled out her laptop and a bunch of books before tossing the bag aside. Sam and Dean watched as she silently sat down and began reading. Sam looked over to his brother who just shook his head and lied back on the bed. Sam just grabbed his bag and headed into the bathroom. The room was silent and it was killing Dean. He sat up from the bed and just looked at his wife, her back toward him.
"You can't just say nothing" Dean said and Katie froze. "Especially when I know you want to say something, so just say it" she closed the book and turned in her seat to look at him.
"OK" Katie said. "No more active hunting" Dean quirked an eyebrow.
"Active?" Dean asked.
"Yes, no more on the field action so to speak" Katie replied. "But I help investigate, because whether you want to admit it or not, I'm actually good at seeing through people, and I can help"
"Katie-"
"No, Dean" Katie replied. "I'm not gonna spend the next eight and a half months sitting in some safe house while you and Sam are off chasing Crowley next big game." She stood to her feet. "There is something going on there, and I'm going to figure it out" she moved to stand in front of him. "That's how this is gonna work and that's what is final" he looked up to her before watching her turned and walk back to her seat.
"So that's how that feels" Dean said and Katie just shook her head and turned to him.
"Doesn't feel too good to be treated like a child by your partner?" Katie asked. "Does it?"
"I'm sorry princess-"
"I know Dean" Katie replied. "I get it, really I do but you can't lock something in a room to keep it safe, especially when there's so many things out there trying break in" she turned back to her book. "We will see how this works and if it doesn't then we try it your way"
"I don't have a choice here, do I?" Dean asked and he heard her chuckle.
"Not really babe" she replied. He just shook his head and lay back down on the bed. "Don't forget about my appointment in the morning"
"Eight AM, I remember" Dean said.
It didn't take long for the man to fall asleep. Katie looked over and smiled at her sleeping husband before hearing the bathroom door open and out cam Sam.
"How the mystery of the necklaces coming?" Sam asked walking over and taking a seat at the table. He picked up the book, and looked it over.
"It's not" Katie replied. "I can't make heads or tails of what that language is, and the person I think can, doesn't want anything to do with it" she looked down at a sketch of both pieces of the necklace. "And now I find out there's a third person out there with the other part of it"
"Do you have any idea what this necklace is for?" Sam asked and Katie just shrugged.
"I have a bunch of theories" Katie replied. "But until I figure out what this necklace is, then theories don't matter" she looked over to him. "So how are you doing with, well everything"
"Fine, I guess" Sam sighed. "It's hard not knowing how or why I'm supposed to feel a certain way about something"
"I'm sorry about that" Katie replied.
"Why, It's not like it's your fault" Sam replied.
"I should've stopped you from jumping" Katie replied. "I held your hand and then you were just gone"
"Don't do that" Sam replied. "I let go, not you. This isn't your fault"
"Well, I'm going to help figure it out" Katie replied. "As soon as I find a way to touch you without passing out"
"Still no luck in finding out why that is?" Sam asked and Katie shrugged.
"Actually I think it was done purposely" Katie replied.
"You mean someone doesn't want you to find out the truth?" Sam asked and Katie nodded. "Why?"
"More questions Sam I am" Katie replied. "And now I am hungry, wanna grab some food?"
"You think Dean would go for that?" Sam asked. "He's seems a bit overprotective all of a sudden"
"Well your brother's weird Sam" Katie replied standing to her feet. "Who knows why he does what he does" she walked over to a sleeping Dean and sat on the edge next to him. She placed a hand on his arm. "Hey, wake up you" he groaned before opening his eyes and looking over to her. "Sam and I are going across the street for food"
"Wait" Dean said sitting up from the bed. "What?" he looked over to Sam before turning back to Katie.
"Me and Sam, across the street, food" Katie said again and he just glared at her. "Don't give me that look, we're going"
"Fine" he ran a hand over his face before standing from the bed. "I'm coming too"
"Dean" Katie said. "You're really doing this?"
"Yes, I am princess" Dean said grabbing his jacket and keys. Katie just shook her head before following him out the door. Sam followed as well even more confused than before.
The next morning Katie wanted to ignore her husband for his extreme protective behavior, but while they were sitting the waiting room of the doctor's office, she noticed his leg bouncing nervously. She placed a hand on his knee and he looked over to her.
"Dean, are you ok?" she asked and he just gave a lop sided grin.
"Yeah" he replied. "I'm good" she looked at him knowingly. "fine, I'm nervous, happy" he shook his head. "What if something is wrong?"
"You can't think like that Dean" Katie replied.
"Katie" they looked up to see the doctor holding a clip board. Katie took Dean's hand and they stood to their feet. "Just follow me"
After Katie's exam, came the part both parents were looking forward to.
"So to two ready to see your baby for the first time?" the nurse asked. Katie and Dean looked at each other before turning back to the doctor.
"Yes" Katie replied with a smile. The nurse pushed up Katie's shirt before rubbing on a gel on the woman's stomach.
"Be aware that it's still relatively early so your baby isn't really going to look like a baby just yet" the nurse replied before placing the wand above her abdomen. Dean and Katie stare at the screen, neither knowing what they were looking for. They looked over to the nurse who looked a bit nervous.
"Is everything alright?" Dean asked and the woman looked over to him.
"It's just I'm not finding the heart beat" she replied and Dean felt Katie squeeze his hand.
"Wait, what?" Katie said. "What do you-" her heart began to race, and suddenly her breathing quickened. She looked over to Dean. "Dean, I don't-"
"Calm down princess" Dean said rubbing her back before looking back over to the nurse. "What does this mean?"
"I don't know" she replied. "Let me just go get the doctor" the nurse hurried out of the room as Dean continued to try and calm Katie down.
"Dean, the baby's gone" Katie said feeling her eyes water. "This can't-"
"Just wait, princess" Dean said placing a kiss on his wife's head. Suddenly the doctor came into the room followed by the nurse.
"Let's see what's going on here" the doctor said taking a seat on the stool grabbing the wand and placing it on Katie's abdomen. Dean and Katie both looked at the screen. "Can you turn a little towards me?" Katie did when suddenly a blip appeared on the screen. "There it is"
"There what is?" Dean asked still holding Katie's hand. The doctor pointed to the blip on the screen.
"That my good sir is your baby's heartbeat" the doctor replied before turning back to the couple. "I'm sorry for the scare, but today was our nurse Margaret's first day."
"So there is a baby?" Katie asked and the doctor nodded.
"Yes, there is" he replied as he turned back to the monitor and hit a switch and suddenly they heard a thumping noise.
"What's that?" Dean asked. "Wait, is that-"
"That's your baby's heartbeat" The doctor replied. Dean and Katie looked at each other, smiles on both of their faces as they listened to their child's heartbeat.
"It's so fast" Katie said before turning back to the doctor. "Is that normal?"
"Yes, it is" the doctor replied. "Everything seems to be going fine, with you baby" he switched off the monitor and wiped the gel from Katie's stomach. "I'll have the nurse give you copies of the ultrasound" he stood from the seat. "Once again I'm very sorry for the scare"
"Me too" the nurse replied. "I'll go get those copies for you"
"I really want to kick the crap out of that lady for scaring the hell out of me" Katie said and Dean laughed bring his arms around her.
Sam was sat in the motel room, switch through the channels as he waited in the motel room alone. He still hadn't figure out what Dean and Katie were hiding, but know it was something big, if they didn't want to say anything. He switched the television off when he heard his phone ringing.
"Yeah" Sam answered.
"Oh, Sammy boy" Crowley replied. "We need to talk, come outside" the line when dead and Sam looked down at the phone. He stood from the bed before grabbing his gun and tucking it in his jeans. He didn't know what to expect when it came to Crowley. He walked outside and didn't see anyone. He closed the door behind him before walking further out, into the motel parking lot. He felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand, and he turned to see the demon wave at him before going into the diner across the street.
He looked over to see the demon sitting in one of the booths. He walked over and took a seat from him.
"Thanks for joining me" Crowley said. "I would've popped in for a visit but you boys have that room of yours locked up tight."
"Yeah, well it keeps the rift raft out" Sam replied. "What is it this time, what do you want us to get"
"Actually this is a job for you" Crowley replied. "And it won't even be a challenge, because you already know where it is"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Sam asked.
"There's someone I've been dancing around, but I'm not getting anywhere with these alphas" Crowley said. "This someone I'm positive knows the location to purgatory, and you are going to bring her to me"
"Her?" Sam asked and then realization hit him. "You mean Katie?"
"She is the chosen one" Crowley replied. "Plus there are probably volumes of information the ultimate alpha left her when he took her body for a ride"
"You're kidding me right?" Sam scoffed. "You can't believe I would kidnap my brother's wife and just hand her over to you, so you can go digging in her head"
"What if, this is it Sammy?" Crowley asked. "The final job before I put that soul back in you" the demon brought his fist into his palm and leaned against his chin. "Think of it this way, you only get one soul, your brother can get a different wife"
"Are you even listening to what you're saying" Sam said standing to his feet. "The answer is no"
"Just think about it Sammy" Crowley replied. "I'll even make it easy for you, all you have to do is get her outside, and I'll handle the rest" Sam just stood there looking at the demon. "How badly do you want your soul back?" Sam just shook his head before turning and storming out of the diner.
Sam walked back into the motel room, finding Katie and Dean making out before jumping apart off the bed.
"Oh, sorry" Sam said turning his back to the couple.
"It's ok" Katie said straightening out her clothes. "We were just bored and there was an empty room"
"So where did you go?" Dean asked walking over to sit at the table.
"Just went for a walk" Sam replied taking off his jacket and going over to sit on the bed. He sat his gun on the table next to his bed and laid back on the bed.
"You ok?" Katie asked noticing the look on her brother in law's face.
"Yeah, I'm good" Sam replied. Dean and Katie share a look before a phone rang.
"It's me" Katie said reaching in her bag and grabbed her phone. Dean kept his eyes on her. "Hello?"
"Hey, Kat it's me"
"You think we know each other well enough for nick names Ry?" Katie asked sitting on the bed.
"It was going to start soon or later" he replied. "So any luck with the translation?"
"No" she replied. "But I did find out during my out of body experience, I gave the other part of the necklace to someone"
"Who?" Ryan asked.
"I have no idea" Katie replied. "But I'm sure wherever they are, they're probably looking for me"
"Yeah, the crazy lady who gave them a mysterious necklace and disappeared" Ryan replied.
"Haha" Katie replied she looked over to Dean, who seemed to have a look. "Was that all you wanted?"
"Uh, no actually I needed a favor" Ryan replied. "I'm in the clink"
"You're in jail?" Katie asked. "You'd think that's something you'd say sooner, why are you in jail now?"
"There's this art exhibit and I say a picture of necklace" Ryan replied. "And I may have gotten a little too close"
"So they took you to jail?" Katie asked.
"I may have gotten physical" Ryan replied. "But they're probably won't be holding me long, I was just wondering if you could go check out the exhibit. The ancient history, exhibit in Bloomington "
Katie looked over to Dean who's eyes were glued to her.
"That maybe difficult" Katie replied. "But I'll see what I can do" she hung up the phone and stood to her feet.
"What's up?" Dean asked and Katie just shrugged.
"Just Ryan got into a bit of trouble" Katie replied.
"You're not going to help him" Dean said and both Katie and Sam looked over to him. "I mean I don't think it's a good idea to go and help him"
"Thanks for changing that up" Katie replied. "And he didn't call for me to help him, he found something that he thinks is tied to the necklace"
"And he called to what, go check it out?" Dean asked and Katie nodded.
"Actually, yeah" Katie replied. "Look there's nothing dangerous about walking into an art exhibit and taking a couple of pictures"
"You're right" Dean replied standing to his feet.
"I am" Katie said confused.
"Yeah, which is why I'll do it" Dean replied.
"You're kidding me" Katie said. "Dean this is getting out of hand, you can't just keep me in some bubble from the world"
"I'm not, I'm just going to go take these pictures and bring them back to you" Dean replied. "While you stay here and get some rest"
"I'm not tired" Katie replied. "I've gotten enough rest from our little vacation, I mean at least let me come with you"
"You know what, I think I'm good" Dean said. "Thanks though. Where am I going?" Katie just glared at him hands on her hips. "Hey, I got all night princess" she just shook her head before writing down the name of the exhibit.
"He didn't tell me exactly where the building was, but this is the name" she handed him the paper. "You do know this is ridiculous, you don't even know what you're looking for"
"I figure it out" Dean replied slipping the paper in his pocket. "I should be there first thing in the morning, take the pictures and be back tomorrow night"
"Whatever" Katie replied before walking past him into the bathroom slamming the door behind him. Dean sighed before turning to Sam, who looked back over to him.
"Look Sam, I need you to keep her here" Dean replied. "I don't care what she says, she doesn't leave this room, and in the extreme case that she does, you stay with her and you don't let her out of your sight"
"Dean, is something going on that I should know about?" Sam asked. "I mean what's going on?"
"Demons" Dean said from the top of his head. It wasn't a complete lie. "They're after her, especially since she's been back" he ran a hand through his hair. "There's no telling how many are after her, and I just don't want to take any chances, so will you do this for me?"
"Yeah" Sam replied. "of course, she's family right?"
"Right" Dean said before walking over and grabbing his jacket. He walked over to the bathroom door. "I'm leaving, and would really like a kiss goodbye from my wife!" he didn't hear anything and lightly tapped on the door, when suddenly the door open and she quickly kissed his lips before slamming the door in his face. "I love you too princess!" he shook his head and turned back to Sam. "Remember what I said, she doesn't leave this room, and she doesn't leave you ok?" Sam nodded before watching his brother walk out the door. The moment the door closed Katie came out of the bathroom and sat on her bed.
"Your brother is an ass" Katie said looking over to Sam who just chuckled. Katie lay back on the bed and Sam just looked over to her, not able to stop thinking about Crowley's deal.
Dean was driving down the highway when he decided to take out his phone. He dialed and brought the phone to his ear.
"Yeah" Bobby answered.
"Hey, it's Dean" the man said and he heard the old hunter sigh.
"What is it this time?" Bobby asked and Dean just chuckled.
"You know this Ryan guy right?" Dean asked.
"The guy with the necklace right?" Bobby replied.
"Yeah, that's all you know about the guy?" Dean asked.
"Well I've heard about him, hell of a hunter but really nothing else" Bobby replied. "Why what's up?"
"It's just he called Katie and asked her to check something out" Dean replied. "The problem is I don't know the guy well enough for him to be asking my wife for favors"
"You are your father's son you know that" Bobby replied. "He would tell me stories about how he even hated when another man looked at your mother"
"Well I guess it's just a Winchester trait" Dean replied. "It's just I get Alex, he's just a sad little man who let her get away, JT is an asshole and the Louisiana vampire is just a douche, now there's this guy who just calls and I've never even been introduced to the guy"
"You forgot one thing boy" Bobby replied. "She ain't looking at none of them, the way she looks at you, so why are you so worried?"
"I don't-"Dean sighed. "I guess after all this time, after everything, I'm still waiting for her to realize she could do so much better than me"
"Are we done with this lifetime moment?" Bobby asked. "Because I got better things to do then hear about your girly insecurities Dean"
"Always a pleasure Bobby" Dean said.
"Yeah, whatever" the old hunter replied before hanging up the phone.
Katie sat at the table in the motel room trying her absolute hardest to understand the writing in this book, but nothing sparked, nothing popped out at her, which was weird because she had the undeniable feeling that she'd seen it before. She slammed the book closed and looked over to Sam who was watching something on the television.
"I can't do this anymore Sam" Katie said and he looked over to her confused. She stood to her feet. "I need to get out of this room"
"Dean said-"
"Yeah, I know what Dean said" Katie replied walking over and picking up her jacket. "The problem is Dean's not my boss, and this danger he thinks is looming over me is just him being paranoid because of –" she shook her head. "Because he's Dean" she put on her jacket. "So if you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to check out the town's fair by the dock" Sam sighed and stood to his feet. "What are you doing?"
"Katie you can't leave" Sam replied. "It's too dangerous"
"Not you too" Katie replied. "I don't know what Dean told you, but there is no more danger out there now then there ever was"
"Except there's a probably a dozen demons aiming for your head to see what God left in there" Sam replied and Katie ran her fingers through her hair.
"You're right" Katie said. "They're after me, but they will probably always be after me, and I refuse to hide from them, I refuse to let them believe they won" she turned and headed for the door.
"Wait!" Sam called after her and she turned to him. He grabbed his jacket. "I'm coming with you, Dean is probably going to kill me for letting you leave, but he'll definitely kill me if I let you leave by yourself"
The moment they arrived at the fair, Sam's eyes began scanning the area. This was the perfect place for Crowley to make a move. It was crowed and night, if the demon was going to make a move this was going to be it.
"Ohh, they got candy corn" Katie said and Sam looked over to her. She looked at him and smiled. "C'mon lighten up Sammy, this is a rarity" she looked at the people playing games and children running about. "For a while, we get to be normal people"
"Yeah, one's a witch and the other's looking for demons to pop out" Sam replied. "We're the average Americans"
"Soulless Sam is no fun" Katie mumbled to herself.
"I heard that" Sam replied and Katie just stuck her tongue out at the man.
Dean arrived in Bloomington earlier than expected. It was almost 3 am when he pulled up in front of the museum. He scanned the building and only saw one security guard. He grabbed a map from the passenger seat and got out of the car and walked up to the glass door of the museum. He tapped on the glass and the guard turned and walked over to him.
"Museum is closed" the guard said through the glass.
"I'm kind of lost" Dean replied opening up the map. "I'm trying to get to Nashville, but I got turned around" he looked back to the guard. "Can you help me out" the guard looked at him for a moment before unlocking the door.
"All you have to do is keep I-24 W straight out" Dean looked where the guard was pointing. "And you should run right into it" Dean turned back to the man and smiled.
"Thanks you really helped me a lot buddy" Dean said. "I'm sorry I have to do this"
"Do what?" The guard asked before Dean decked the knocking him out. Dean caught the man and pulled him back into the museum. He sat the man down before searching the museum for whatever Ryan had found. He'd been searching for a while, about to give up when he walked by a paper incased in a box with a glass cover. Dean walked over and recognized the symbols from Katie's book. He heard noises from the door and quickly took out his cell phone and snapped photos of the document. After snapping a couple of photos he pocketed his phone and quickly ran out the back.
"The things I do for you princess" Dean said running back to the impala.
"Please tell me you're ready to leave?" Sam asked looking over to Katie who was holding on tight to a giant stuffed teddy bear, while holding a bag of candy corn.
"Tell me you're not having just an ounce of fun?" Katie asked and he just looked over to her his expression answer enough for her. "Fine, just let me use the restroom and we can leave, hold my teddy" she handed him the bear and her candy before heading to the bathroom.
The moment the man walked out of the police station, Dean recognized him instantly. Dean hopped out of the car and walked over to him. Ryan looked up and stopped.
"What are you doing here?" Ryan asked. He began looking around expecting someone else, but there was no one. "Where's Katie?"
"She's not here" Dean replied.
"What do you mean she's not here?" Ryan asked anger filling his voice. "Did you do something to her, because I swear-"
"You swear what?" Dean asked and Ryan took a step forward.
"I swear I'll kill you right here and now in front of this police station" Ryan replied. They stood there for a moment just staring at each other. "Now where is she?"
"She's safe" Dean replied. "And she would stay that way if people she's only known, for what a couple of weeks didn't call her to travel to some random museum for something that might help figure out this mystery"
"Look, Dean is it?" Ryan said and Dean just shook his head. It was taking a lot of restraint not to hit this guy. "This has nothing to do with you"
"Oh that's where you're wrong Ry" Dean snapped. "You see because anything that has to do with my wife, has to do with me, so when you call her and ask her to check out something, when there are demons after her, excuse me for getting a little pissed off"
"What do you mean demons are after her?" Ryan asked.
"I'm sorry" Dean replied. "I forgot you've only known her for two minutes" he shook his head. "Don't call my wife again, this necklace, it's your responsibility so just leave her out of it" with those words Dean turned and walked away.
"I can't do that!" Ryan called and Dean turned around. "You see Dean your wife is at the center of this mystery whether you like it or not" he turned. "And fine, if her checking this stuff out, puts her in danger, then I won't call her for that" he turned back to Dean. "She saved my life you know, they were about ready to just pull the plug, and then one day I open my eyes and there she is" Ryan stuffs his hands in his jacket pocket. "I was supposed to find her, and we are supposed to figure out the deal with these necklaces, because whatever it is, it's big"
"I won't lose her to this" Dean said and Ryan just looked over to him. "I will do anything and everything possible to make sure I don't lose her, I think you should know that"
"Well at least we agree on one thing" Ryan said before turning and walking away.
Dean just shook his head before turning around and walking back over to his car. The only thing he wanted right now was to get back to his wife. The drive was long and endless. The only relief he found was when he laid eyes on the motel room the next afternoon. He turned off the engine and laid his head back and closed his eyes. He let out a deep breath before getting out of the car and heading to the room.
The moment he open the door his heart sank in his chest. He saw Sam sitting on the bed, next to him a dirty stuffed animal. Dean scanned the room, but she wasn't there…where was she?
"Dean-" Sam said standing to his feet, but before he know Dean had him pinned against the wall.
"Where is she Sam!" Dean yelled.
"Dean calm down" Sam said trying to pull himself free, but Dean had a firm grasp.
"Don't tell me to calm down Sam!" Dean snapped. "Where the hell is she" he was pushing Sam a little harder, before Sam pushed his brother forcefully off of him. Dean was about to tackle him again.
"Dean, wait!" Sam said holding up his hands.
"Where is she Sam?" Dean asked again his breaths quicker. Why was it becoming hard to breath? Sam just looked at his brother not saying a word. "Answer me!"
"I don't-" Sam closed his eyes and shook his head before looking back up to his brother. "I don't know"
Those were the last words he heard before Dean felt his world collapsing around him. He didn't know when or how but somehow he ended up sitting on the bed. Sam was saying something, but he couldn't hear him. She was gone.
No, they were gone.
A/N: So there you have it. Hope it was a good read, and will begin next chapter very soon.
