I WILL be posting a ONESHOT before I leave, just to take care of any addicts I may have...Okay that's it. Love ya all, review please!

Chapter Ten

Autumn gathered up her booty and took it back to the Mustang, there wasn't really any logical way she'd get a fire burning hot enough out here to melt the license plate down, or most the other items. She had to get to town and find something huge and hot, and thankfully the town had a steel mill she might just be able to slip into. Darcy was still in her head, not as much as she wanted to be but while she'd been digging Valover grabbed hold of her mind, and Autumn allowed it cause the link worked two ways, she could feel the strain on Darcy and was willing to share a little energy if it meant getting out of this alive.

"Go. We'll be fine," Darcy urged sensing her hesitation to leave them.

"Teenie?" Autumn asked.

"Is fine, but won't be if you don't get on with it."

Autumn took off, toward town. It wasn't hard, even with the nightshift working away, to get into the steel mill. She got in one of the trains that was returning from dumping its load and then found a large hot vat underneath which a huge fire burned. It was nothing to toss the artifacts into the flames, staying only long enough to assure herself they'd burn. Smoke set off alarms brining men running and she made a quick exit.

Meanwhile Darcy, Cameron, and Teenie found themselves dropped on the road as the phantom rig went up in flames disappearing with a final wail of its horn, Big Joe inside. They all laid still as could be on the pavement for the longest moment of their lives before Darcy pushed herself up. The wounds the pair had shown before were gone., not a single trace of the injuries remained. Cameron was definitely in shock though, and she reached out to him, slipping her hand in his. She didn't have to tell that it was over and all going to be fine now, he just seemed to know it. Teenie rolled into a sitting position and looked at Darcy with a half smirk.

"You just can't keep your mouth shut can you?" she teased.

"Don't even go there, Athena Rhea Daemon," Darcy threatened. "You damn near got yourself killed and you want to joke about it? You'll be lucky if Autumn don't skin you alive. Do you know the hell she went through to get here? She agreed to work with me, and we all know she's president of my fan club." Athena dropped her head immediately, and then the tears started.

Darcy comforted her friend as best she could before realizing they'd be road kill if anyone went by out here. The two women drug Cameron into the ditch with their luggage that fell out of Phantom 309 with them. Autumn didn't say much when she came back to pick them up, they dropped Cameron off at the nearest ER, he'd probably spend a few days in the crazy ward but would be fine. Then the three women returned to the motel where John greeted them as if he never thought he'd any of them again. Teenie stole the first shower and Darcy tossed Autumn the cell phone she'd laid on her night stand.

"Go call him," she ordered. "Don't give me that look, Daemon. Sam'll want to know that his Barbie doll is okay, and Dean's probably going out of his mind without you."

"I'll share a bed with Teenie," Autumn said flipping open her cell and nodding toward the bathroom door a silent request to pass on the information. Darcy waved her out pulling the rottweilier on her bed to her before flicking on the TV.

"Aut!" Dean picked up after one ring, "Uh, hey." he grunted and tried to sound uncaring. Autumn smiled into the phone.

"I miss you too, Dork." Relief filtered through the line.

"Did you get her?"

"Yea, we've got a lot to talk about, but not tonight. I'll let her sleep then she and I will discuss Will and…the future." She wasn't sure she liked the idea that was starting in her head but it may be the only way not to loose her baby sister.

"Don't let her run off on her own again, send Darcy, or Hell even John with her," he advised.

"Yea, that's sorta what I was thinking. You get everything taken care of on your end?"

"Yea, going to sit still a little longer but should be out of here tomorrow night. Anywhere you want to meet us?"

"Yea, actually. Dean, I want you to meet me at home."

"Okay, I'll see you at home then. God, I love the sound of that." Autumn giggled at the longing in his voice.

"Why, cause you have roots now?"

"No, because there's this little red thing that I know I'll always be able to find there."

"Well if its got your interest it's a car or a woman, do I have to be jealous of more than the Impala now?"

"You're jealous of my car?" Dean asked baffled.

"Babe, you kiss it goodnight." Autumn reminded him.

"Oh and that's worse than you giving yours a rub down after every hunt?"

"Hey! She's too pretty to let my life ruin her. Its called maintenance." she countered in mock hurt.

"Uh huh," Dean yawned.

"I woke you didn't I?"

"No, I was awake."

"Waiting?"

"Yea, a real babe was supposed to call me."

Autumn rolled her eyes, "Go to sleep, Dean. I'll see you at the resort."

"He's not going to disappear again!" Darcy woke to whispered arguing the next morning. Both Daemons looked like they were two seconds from drawing their guns and shooting each other. It didn't take long to get caught up, this was the talk.

"He has already, Athena." Autumn shot back.

"Not by choice something is very wrong."

"She's right," Darcy threw in her two cents.

"Valover this isn't about you." Autumn warned.

"Yes it is, cause I'm going with her." Darcy decided for them.

"Excuse me?" Teenie demanded. "Did I ask for a babysitter?"

"Consider it a mobile slumber party," Darcy smiled wagging her eyebrows. "Bet I'm a lot more fun than this wet blanket anyway." She jerked a thumb in Autumn's direction. "What do you say Autty?"

"Sounds good to me. Athena you want to get away from me and the boys for a while, you claim you need to clear your head. Well you want to do all that AND find Willy you do it with Darcy or not at all." Teenie folded her arms over her chest and pouted. "I'll sweeten the deal," Autumn offered.

"No!" Darcy's jaw dropped gawking at Autumn's thoughts.

"Yes," Autumn threw Athena the keys to her prized car. "You guys take Scarlet, I'll call Marc, he'll come pick me and John-dog up. I expect an e-mail, text, or phone call everyday. The second you think you might be over your heads I want a call I'll be on the red eye to you."

"Autty?" Athena questioned.

"You'll always be my baby sister, Teen, but you're not a baby anymore. I have to let you do this," she smiled though it broke her heart to say so.

"I love you too, Autters." Teenie grinned hugging her sister.

"Right, well you two better get packed and out of here before I change my mind." Autumn hugged her sister back briefly before stepping away. "I'm going to go call Marc."
