Chapter 10: Argue

Sam's POV

Of course Dean would make me clean up the seats. Tyler was with Dean and I was driving the impala dropping the body into a grave on the edge of town and burning it. Tyler was working through her map again and checking on more facts. She was brilliant really. The map was complex and accurate but gave us a good idea of what was going on where. She was naive and there were certainly things she hadn't told us but there was no doubt in my mind we'd get around to it. I drove back and walked into the room to grab a towel and some soap to clean Dean's seats.

"Check my work Sam. I think I isolated where the demon is." She said. "I'll take care of Dean's car." She pushed by me taking the towel and soap.

"She did it that easy?" I asked Dean. He was bent over the table looking over her map.

"I think so. I can barely make heads or tails of it."

"Let me take a look." I said joining him. The red numbers were few but what really had me interested was the changes she made. The black numbers corresponded to people and there were clusters of numbers near bars and schools and such. Lines were numbered and crisscrossed all over the map. It was a big jumbled mess. "How can she even keep this straight?" I said rubbing the bridge of my nose.

"Simple. I made a copy on my computer and that is just making sure I didn't miss anything." She said surprising us. "Paper back ups are good."

"Great want to explain this to us?" Dean sighed.

"The black lines are people's paths to and from places. The numbers are where they spend their time. I wasn't able to fit who they spend time with on their but it's a web of people. Everyone here pretty much knew everyone and you can find a link between any of them." She explained further going to her bag and pulling out her computer. She signed on and pulled up a file that had pictures and bio's on the people it was listing. Lines connected the faces to other faces and in the background was the map.

"How much time did this take you?" I asked her.

"I've been here nearly a week and a half and when I wasn't working in the cafe or scouring the town for leads this is what I was adding to." She said pulling up two people.

"Okay so what have you got then?" Dean asked leaning over her shoulder.

"Finding out who was having affairs with who was a little trickier but I managed to figure out most of them." She sighed tapping a few keys and some of the people on the web vanished. All the lines now connected to two central figures on opposite sides of the web. But there was no picture just a big question mark and two names.

"Let me guess you're still working on the details." I grinned.

"I did a lot more leg work than you guys could have gotten done." Tyler huffed out. I laughed and Dean chuckled a bit. "I think these two hole up in different places throughout the week and have the regulars and then they try to pick up new people when their regulars get sick from interacting with them."

"Peter Nightshade and Lilly Fox?" Dean asked her reading the names at the center of the web.

"Exactly. Those are the only names I've managed to come up with. I just happened to overhear a few students talking about it while I was wandering around town." Tyler grinned.

"Why haven't you gone in?" Dean asked her again confused.

"There's two of them Dean. I get one and I'll miss the other." Then she looked down and fidgeted with the edge of the map.

"Okay so we go in tomorrow night." I said patting her. She looked up at me with a weak smile.

"Yeah, I can't go in." She said guiltily.

"I'm not real thrilled about you going in but we do what we have to. We're Winchesters." Dean said.

"Dean, they'll know something's off." Tyler kept staring at the ground as her cheeks turned red. Dean looked at her oddly. I had a feeling I knew where this was going.

"What makes you so sure?" Dean said.

"I don't have any experience with boys." She gritted out before looking at Dean with a slight glare and her arms crossed over her chest.

"You're a virgin!" Dean exclaimed looking at her with wide eyes. Her blush deepened as Dean spluttered. I stopped the chuckle that was threatening to escape. This was no time to joke around. We'd both seen she wasn't boy crazy or very good with handling them.

"It's not unheard of." She snapped at Dean.

"You've never even let a guy cop a feel?" Dean asked amazed then he backtracked. "On second thought don't answer that." He rubbed his forehead with the back of his hand. "My sister is a frickin' saint." He mumbled.

"What Dean means is that's fine but we need you to go in after the incubus. Dean or I will be right with you the entire time." I tried to reassure her.

"No. My case. I'll take care of the incubus by myself." Tyler sighed. "One of you take care of the succubus. I can't do it if you guys are watching."

"Somebody needs to have your back." Dean said switching to protective brother mode.

"I've been on my own for five years. Been watching my own back for far longer than that." She snorted.

"And you fell apart yesterday." Dean added.

"Well excuse me for not being perfect!" She hissed getting close to Dean like she was going to hit him.

"Why don't we all calm down." I said separating them. "We're just worried about you Tyler." I said when she'd backed off.

"We had a brother and he got eaten by ghouls before they lured us to them and tried to eat us too." Dean explained. She nodded but wasn't mollified.

"We just want to make sure you don't get hurt. Family is a big deal for us." I told her. She was listening and slowly she was losing her hostile look. "We don't have too many people left who are blood relatives. We take care of our own."

"Fine. I get it but it doesn't change the facts." She said.

"Which are?" I asked before Dean could butt his way in.

"I can't go in if one of you guys are tailing me. Trust me to take care of this. Cover each other's backs, these things are slippery and they're demons." She finished.

"And what makes you think we'll let you do that?" Dean asked her.

"Because you want these things dead just as much as I do and I'm only your half sister. You and Sam share a bond that goes beyond what most siblings share." She answered him quickly.

"We aren't going to leave you." Dean tried to argue with her.

"Just because I'm younger than you doesn't mean I'm incompetent." She said.

"No, it means you don't have as much experience!" Dean said.

"If it was Sam who was taking on the other incubus you wouldn't so much as blink." Tyler accused.

"Because I know Sammy is a great hunter and he can take care of himself!" Dean returned.

"And I managed to beat you two!" She goaded Dean.

"Not for long." Dean grinned. "We still caught you and brought you here." He said she got the stubborn set of her cheeks from John and I could see she wasn't going to budge.

"But I had you." She said.

"You're not going alone. I'm following you in and keeping an eye on you. Sam can take care of the succubus." When she opened her mouth to protest he cut her off. "I'm older than you and I'm not going to let you get hurt. I'm going with you." She bristled but let it go. Things in the room were a little tense that night.
