I woke up the next morning to the sound of knocking on my motel door.
I wanted so bad to ignore it and stay cuddled up with Gabriel.
But, as I went to pull him closer to me, I realized I was holding something less solid. Something that wasn't my bed buddy.
I opened my eyes and saw a pillow in my embrace.
"Alyssa! Yo! Let's go!" I heard Dean say from outside. "Wheels are moving in ten!"
I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and examined the pillow again.
Where the hell did that archangel go? I thought. I know I didn't just imagine him here.
Usually, Gabriel would have left a note or something indicating he was indeed here and where he had went so I wouldn't worry.
As soon as I got out of bed, and got dressed in my FBI suit, I searched high and low for a note.
I found nothing.
It was unusual. Very unusual for Gabriel. And that was saying a lot.
Knowing my time was almost up, I decided to look, or even ask him about it, later and left the motel room.

"I think we can all conclude that all the victims were a couple." Sam said.
We were at a diner eating a late lunch.
We decided to talk about our findings from talking to the survivors of the attack.
"How do you figure?" Dean asked.
"The survivors were either the girlfriend or the boyfriend of the victim." Sam said as if it was obvious. "And they all snuck in to-"
"Yeah, yeah, I get it." Dean said.
"So the ghost in the house gets triggered if a couple is in it." I said. "Why?"
Sam shrugged.
"Maybe he or she had a DOA dating record." Dean said, with a slight smile.
Sam gave him a look, which Dean paid no mind to as he continued to eat his food.
"The MO is the same." I said. "They go in, they do things, but before it gets too far, the ghost intervenes and grabs one of them."
"And then they are found dead later when the police show up." Sam said.
"Alright." Dean said, wiping his mouth with a napkin. "What are we going to do to gank this son of a bitch? Since Mr. Know-it-all over here said the person was cremated."
"The best thing would be to use bait until we are able to find the object it's tied to." Sam said.
Suddenly, both pairs of Winchester eyes were looking right at me.
"Seriously?" I asked. "Why do I have to be bait? Why not one of you?"
"Because three out of the four people who were murdered were female." Dean said. "You have a more likely chance of being taken; which wouldn't be helpful if one of us tried to be bait and you were trying to find the thing it's tied to."
"What Dean is meaning to say," Sam began, giving Dean another look. "Is that, you will be able to distract the ghost more than we could."
I sighed.
"Fine." I said. "But I do need someone with me. It goes after couples. Not a stand alone."
Dean smiled.

"I don't understand." Cas said, titling his head a little to the right. "You want me to pretend to be Alyssa's boyfriend?"
"It's for a case." Dean said. "But yes."
We were at the motel. Dean had called for Cas a couple minutes after we got back and had just explained to him what was going on.
"I get that." Cas said. "I just don't understand why I have to pretend to be her boyfriend?"
"It will only be for a night." Sam assured him. "Just so we can get rid of the ghost."
"And the ghost goes after couples?" Cas asked.
The three of us nodded.
"I see." Cas said nodding slowly.
"So, you in?" Dean asked.
Cas looked at me.
"If Alyssa is alright with this." Cas said.
Honestly, I wasn't. It would mean I might have to do things with Cas, my boyfriend's brother, that I never thought I would do in a thousand years.
So, yeah, it was going to be awkward to say the least.
But I have to remind myself that doing this was for a good reason and that I wasn't going to be cheating on Gabriel with Cas. That this was just acting. And sometimes actors had to pretend to be with someone for a goal.
In this case, stopping a vengeful ghost.
"Yes." I said giving him a nod.
"Then, yes." Cas said to Dean. "I'm in."
