"You didn't check in last night, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just ran into a little trouble."
"So it was our kind of ghost?"
"What? No. Actually I forgot all about that."
"What do you mean you forgot!? That was the whole point of this thing!"
"Some wierd stuff went down. Anyway, I think they got it."
"They who? What are you talking about?"
"Oh, right. I may have accidentally gotten kinda abducted by a cult."
"YOU WHAT?!"
"SAM, Sam listen it's not that bad! I got this, it's all fine. They're trying to save people. They're kinda nuts, but they have this weird angel guy on their side."
"A-AN ANGEL? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!"
"Sam, calm down it's not as crazy as it sounds! Just let me explain!"
"Danny, this is very important. Have you been drugged?"
"Sam, I haven't been drugged and I'm not crazy. There's just some crazy shit happening."
"Yeah, it sure sounds like it. Do you know where you are? Can you get out of there?"
"I could get out if I needed to, which I don't. As for where I am, no clue. Dean called the 'Bat Cave', but I don't really think that's it's real name."
"Is Dean your cult leader?"
"Sam, it's not really like a cult. It's just a few goofballs trying to save the world."
"But you said they followed an angel which sounds pretty sketch to me."
"Oh no, the angel's real, wings and everything. I thought he was a ghost when I first met him, but I'm starting to think he's the real deal. Didn't even think they existed; that offended him."
"Right. Okay, this is fine. Why exactly are you still there?"
"So apparently god ditched his kids and there was anarchy in heaven. Then one of them kicked all the other angels out, so they fell to earth. Now there are angels on earth taking human vessels and killing each other and the human meat shields with them."
"Like they're being possessed? This could just be ghosts."
"I mean, I guess. But if these are ghosts, they're like no ghost we've ever seen before. They can't exist on this plain without a human host."
"Wait, remember that one time Johnny 13 seduced your sister to get a body for Kitty?"
"Gross."
"Kitty needed a human host!"
"So maybe when these guys got booted to earth the one who kicked them out kept the piece of them that allowed them to hold a physical form!"
"So they aren't angels, just weird ghosts."
"I don't know Sam, I just need more information on these guys. Nothing makes sense right now."
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine."
"I still wouldn't trust these guys, they could have caught you on purpose. Those other ghosts could be after you, and you're not exactly popular in the ghost zone."
"Sam, I told you, everything will be fine. It sounds nuts, but something's wrong and these guys want to fix it. I've been looking at the news, and the strange deaths they talked about really are popping up everywhere."
"Are you sure that isn't them? Organizations like this do have a history of violence."
"Well, if it is them and their freaky cult crap, then won't I find out more from the inside than anywhere else?"
"Okay, fine just-be safe. And don't join any more cults! I love you."
"I love you too."
Sam sighed as she hung up the phone. This was going to be a disaster, she could tell. Curse Danny and his stupid hero-complex.
"Sooo," Tucker crooned, sliding through the doorway, "how was he?"
"Apparently he joined a cult by accident and is now chilling in 'The Batcave' with an angel and a couple of dudes who may or may not be trying to stop the apocalypse." Sam said, exasperated.
Tucker didn't even bat an eye. "Of course he did."
Sam groaned and flopped onto her bed. "Why can't he run away from cults like a normal person?"
Tucker looked up at her with a raised eyebrow. "I remember a time when you would have gladly joined a cult." Sam glared at him, but Tucker just smirked and walked over the bed, sitting down next to her. "So, the apocalypse is coming, huh? Damn, I haven't even found Jesus yet. Maybe Danny's new angel friend could help."
Sam laughed and threw a pillow at him. "Not that kind of apocalypse, not that kind of angel. Besides, you know damn well that heathens like you don't get anywhere near the pearly gates."
Tucker caught the pillow and chuckled, "You mean heathens like us." Sam stuck her tongue out at him, causing them both to break into fits of giggles.
Sam sighed as her eyes fell back to the phone. She really was worried, but maybe he was onto something. People were dying, and that was a big problem. But how would Danny be able to stop it? And how deep in the ghost zone would these guys have had to have been buried to believe that they were angels? And what about the crazy humans Danny was dealing with?
Fingers snapped under Sam's nose. She started and looked up at Tucker.
"Hey, stop worrying so much." He smiled at her.
Sam's shoulders slumped. "How can I not worry? He's reckless and can't be left alone for five minutes without finding someone who needs 'saved'."
"Yeah," Tucker put a hand on her shoulder, "but that's why you love him."
Sam huffed in frustration. "Only sometimes."
Tucker laughed. "Oh I don't know. It's hard not to love that dumb ass." He looked down at his watch and stood up. "I better get going, I have a date with Kwan in twenty minutes."
Sam stood to give Tucker a hug. "Okay. Thanks for coming by, I feel like I never see you anymore."
"Yeah, we've all been super busy, but I really miss this. Just wish Danny was here too, it'd be like old times."
Sam stepped back and sighed. "Well, hopefully he will be back from this crazy crusade of his soon."
"He better be." Tucker laughed, then turned to Sam with a softer expression. "Danny can be an idiot, but he's a powerful idiot. He'll be fine."
It was at that moment, in the middle of nowhere next to a biker bar, Danny was stabbed by an old lady with a huge knife, because the universe is an ironic son of a bitch.
Author's Note:
Yeah, the cliffhanger's still hanging, but I felt like I needed to mention these guys just in case I want to include them later. Besides, who doesn't love Sam and Tucker? Anyway, I just got a new job and I'm feeling more motivated to write, but who knows when the next chapter will be up? Not me, that's for sure, but reviews make me write faster! 3
