Chapter 10: The Girl Next door.
They were in Sioux Falls general, both Dean and Sam were being treated to, and Vicki was sitting outside the room, she got curious and stood up just then the Nurse came out and asked her to go in. She went in to see Dean's eyes open.
"We have to re set his leg" One of the Doctor's said.
Vicki's eyes trailed to his face and she took his hand because she knew he'd need it.
"Hold him down" another one said.
"Hey" Dean said and Vicki smiled slightly.
"Dean" She said "It's okay, you're going to be fine"
"What's going on?" He asked. She bit her lip.
"Three, two, one, set!" The Doctor shouted.
They set his leg and Dean's hand clenched tightly around Vicki's, and he let out a loud painful cry. "Aarghh!" Vicki's eyes widened and she squeezed his hand back.
"Just relax" The nurse said.
"Where am I?" He asked.
"You're at the hospital" The nurse said.
"Which one?" Dean asked and he looked up at Vicki.
"Sioux Falls general" Vicki muttered.
The nurse moved Vicki back and Dean reluctantly let go of her hand, and she gave Dean a shot.
"Where's my brother? We got to go!" He said.
"He's right we can't stay we need to be in Calafornia by noon" Vicki said.
"He's bashed his head quite seriously. He's gone up for an MRI" The Doctor said.
"Okay, I got to go" Dean said trying to get up.
"You're not going anywhere on this leg, buddy. Relax" The Doctor said.
"Listen he's right we need to go-"
"He can't go anywhere on that leg, I understand your concern for your husband ma'am but he has to rest"
Vicki looked to Dean who's eyes widened and pleaded with her to do something and then his eyes flickered and they shut.
"What's wrong with him?" She asked worridley.
"He's just been put to sleep for a little while, you need to wait outside" The Doctor said.
"No. I need to wait in here with him" She said.
The nurse ushered her out of the room and she glared at the little woman with the black hair "I need to see my brother in law" Vicki stated. I am such a good Liar
"I'll let you know about him as soon as possible, if you would just wait here for five minutes and then go back in when the Doctor comes out"
Vicki sat for a while before getting let back into the room, her eyes watched the sleeping Dean's chest heave up and down. She still hadn't heard anything about Sam yet. She sat quietly on the chair, her heart thumped everytime someone walked past the room.
Movement caught her eye and she sat up straight seeing Dean's eyes were opening and she bit her lip not sure if she move. "Oh, no, no, no, no" Dean said and he sat up looking around.
"Hey" Vicki said moving and getting up.
He ripped the drip from his arm and stared at her "Hey, Where's Sam?"
"MRI Scan or something...I don't know" She said, she helped him move "Dean you can't st-" She began but it was too late because he fell, causing her to fall with him. He landed on top of her. "Stand" She finished. Dean stared down at her for a minute and then moved.
"What?" he asked.
Vicki moved from under his arm and stood up, brushing herself off and then the door opened causing both of them too look round only to see Bobby. He made a face when he seen that Dean was lying on the ground.
"You okay?" Bobby said.
"Bobby, you're alive" Dean stated.
"'Course I am, why are you on the floor?" He asked.
"They gave him morphine" Vicki said "A lot of morphine"
She pulled Dean up and he gripped onto her upper arms tightly.
"Hey look, monster broke my leg" Dean said when Vicki helped him sit on the bed "Oh. Wait...the house. We thought you were dead"
"Well I ain't. Not yet. But we got to run. This place isn't safe. Where's Sam?" Bobby asked.
"Uh...head scan, I think" Vicki said.
"Meet me at the abulance dock, stat" Bobby said "I'll find Sam"
"Wait, where? Bobby I'm a gimp" Dean said.
"Wel that's what your wife's for" Bobby smirked, Vicki's face flushed red and Dean looked at her. Bobby oved and handed crutches, patted his cheek several times and then smiled at him and left the room to go get Sam.
"Wife huh?" Dean asked cocking a smile.
"You said it not me" She smiled and moved so she could get his clothes. She handed them to him and she walked over to the door.
"Help your husband out" He said and she turned to see him struggling with his jeans. She rolled her eyes and moved over to him, managing to carefully help him with them. He struggled to stand and Vicki helped him up.
"Watch what you're doing" She said.
"Okay Honey"
"You're really gonna milk this?" She asked.
"Yes. Yes I am" He said and she rolled her eyes at him again and the two exited the room. Vicki looked around frantically and the two made their way out of the hospital.
"We need to got his way...it'll be quicker" He said.
"You sure?" She asked.
"Positive" he nodded and the two went the way he said to go and got out, seeing that two people were making their way towards the ambulance. Vicki got in and then helped Dean in, he was basicaly sitting on her but she didn't care. "Go go go go go go go go!" Dean said. And Bobby begand riving the ambulance away.
"That was a close one" Bobby said.
"You want me to go in the back?" Vicki aske.d
"No, I'm enjoying this" Dean said with a smirk, and put his arm around her shoulder's. She rolled her eyes.
"You wont be when you're not doped up on Morphine" Vicki stated flicking his nose.
"I forgot about that" Dean said.
"Let's just get out of here..." Bobby said putting his foot down.
WHITEFISH, MONTANA
THREE WEEKS LATER
Sam was sitting at the table, Dean and Vicki were sitting on the couch watching televison. On the screen a woman was crying over a man's body. That was when Bobby came back in.
"Dude...Ricardo" Dean stated.
"What happened?" Bobby asked.
"Suicidio" Dean said.
"Adios, ese" Bobby said.
Vicki noticed how moved Dean looked at what was happening on the screen, she bit her lip and brushed a loose curl from her pale face.
"Well this ought to cheer you up" Bobby said and flung Dean keys.
"My baby! Now I just got to get this stupid thing off and I can drive her again" Dean said.
"So how is out there?" Sam asked.
"Weird with a side order of bloody. Talked to a few hunters. They're rtunning into the same kind of thing that set up shop at the hospital" Bobby said.
"Yeah and don't forget tried to kill us at your place" Dean said.
"Well, consensus is they're um, they're like shapeshifters only a lot more into eating folk and nothing can kill 'em" Bobby said.
"Good times" Dean said "Anything else?"
"Yep. They bleed black goo"
"Like that stuff that came out of Cas" Vicki said. "The Leviathan, from Purgatory"
"Yep" Bobby said.
"Wha about those chompers that you and the sheriff saw at the hosital? They still making spleenburgers?" Dean asked.
"Yeah made some calls. That doctor never showed back up to work. Ditto a nurse and some administrator" Bobby said.
"So they could be at any hospital in America" Dean said.
"Yeah" Bobby said.
"What do you think Sammy?" Sam didn't answer "Sammy? Sam" Dean said. "HEy ground control! Sam!"
"Yeah? What? I'm...I'm right here" Sam said.
"You okay?" Vicki asked.
"yeah. I'm fine"
There was a long pause "Good" Bobby said "Every last bit of infor I ever had burned down so..."
"What about this place? Rufus leave anything? Did you check the basement?" Dean asked.
"C-rations and dust. I don't think he'd been here in years. So, I got to go round up my old library" Bobby said.
"I thought you said most of those books were one of a kind" Sam said. "Yeah that's why I stashed copies all over the place" Bobby said.
"Paranoid bastard" Vicki smirked.
"Sactly" Bobby said with a smile.
"Okay good. U...hey uh two legs, we're fresh out of grub, want to make a run?" Dean asked Sam.
"Sure...yeah" Sam nodded.
Dean tossed Sam the key to the impala.
"Be careful with her, would you, and uh Sam?" Dean asked.
"Yeah?"
"Pie" Dean said. Vicki laughed.
"Obviously" Sam rolled his eyes and left.
"So?" Dean said.
"So what?" Bobby asked.
"Before you bail again "Girl-Interuppted" over there, any thoughts?" Dean asked.
"Looks to me like he's doing better" Bobby said.
"Better? What do you mean better? YOu just saw him!" Dean said.
"Saw him check out once, it's progress" Bobby said.
"You're kidding!" Dean said.
"Dean" Vicki said.
"Look seems to me that Sam's head ain't no different than your peg leg. People heal on a curve" Bobby said.
"Not dif-Bobby I get this thing off in five days, I'm golden. Sam's not a curve. He's a frickin' time bomb!" Dean said.
"Least he's not keeping secrets" Vicki said.
"My wife better not be keeping secrets" Dean said. Vicki rolled her eyes.
"What you see is what you get, what's so nuts about calling an upswing?" Bobby asked.
"Because that's not how it works, Bobby ever! All right, especially not with Sam. The other shoe is gonna drop. It's just a matter of when" Dean said.
"Okay. How about we worry about today's problems? And today we need intel. I'm going, you sit there and stew. You keep an eye on your husband" Bobby said and Vicki heaved a sigh "I'll check in. Look...you sitting here wringing your hands ain't gonna do nothing. Maybe he'll surprise you"
With that Bobby left. Vicki and Dean sat in silence as Dean skipped through the channels.
"Can't you just pick a channel and leave it on it?" Vicki asked eyeing Dean.
"You're hot when you're bossy"
"Shut up Dean" She said folding her arms.
"Hey, uh, I wanted to thank you by the way" He said.
"For what?" She asked confused.
"For helping Sam" He said "FOr helping me"
"Don't mention it" She said looking away.
"Well, if there's anything I can do-"
"Pick a channel and stay on it" She said pointing at the tv.
Dean smirked and put one of the channels on. "So..."
"So what?" Vicki asked her eyes on the screen.
"How you doin' nobody's asked you how you're doin'" Dean said. "You've been too busy taking care of us"
"My job" She smirked.
"Right" Dean laughed "No seriously though...how you doing?"
"I'm okay I guess" She shrugged. "Getting there"
"You still getting used to being here?"
"Yeah...gonna take a while...close enough though" She shrugged.
"Right...listen I'm sorry for all that crap before..."
"It's fine"
"No it isn't...it isn't fine" Dean said "Because I was being a dick...I was worried...I was stressed-"
"Dean" She said and he stopped talking to look at her "It's fine" "Right oh I want you know that I trust you"
"I know" She said with a smirk.
"What?"
"You told me you trusted me"
"When?"
"That night you broke your leg...I asked you. Do you trust me you said yes. So I know"
Just then the door opened before Dean got a chance to reply and Sam walked in and put the bag on Dean's leg and Dean pulled out a can of coke.
"Mine!" Vicki said and grabbed it, leaning over Dean. He gave her a smile.
"Ah thank you" Dean said to Sam. "Yep" Sam said.
Dean turned the televsion off.
"Where's Bobby? He take off?"Sam asked.
"Yeah. hey, Sam how you doing?" Dean asked.
"Fine" Sam nodded.
"I mean you still you know..." Dean said.
"Yeah, no, I..I know what you mean. Yeah, I'm still, I'm still seeing crap that's not real. But yeah, I'm fine. I mean I know the difference" Sam said.
"Think it's getting better?" Dean asked.
"Honestly? Uh...I don't know.I just know I'm managing it, so...so don't worry" Sam said.
Dean rummaged around the pag "Where's the pie?" He asked and Vicki almost choked on her drink when he said it, he drew her a funny look and she waved him off.
"I got cake. It's close enough" Sam shrugged and went to sit down.
Both Vicki and Dean had fallen asleep Vicki who had fallen asleep first was now half lying on Dean and Dean had his arm stretched out behind beside him, his other hand draped over the couch. Dean woke up first, and looked to the top of Vicki's head, her dark blonde curls had managed to escape the hairband she'd tied them back with and were now draped over his leg. He smirked slightly and looked around, not seeing his brother anywhere.
He moved which caused Vicki to wake up and she sat up quickly rubbing her eyes and Dean picked up the note and drew a face.
"What?" Vicki asked.
He handed her the note and she read it Back in a few day's. I'm fine. -Sam.
She looked to Dean who now had the phone pressed to his ear "Other shoe!" He said "Sam. He took off...I don't know. Nowhere good...Yeah but his me-time ain't just him I mean for all we know he's road trippin' with Lucifer somewhere. Left me like friggin' Jimmy Stewart" Dean said "Straight to voicemail...He turned his GPS pff, too" Dean said.
"Uh Dean..." Vicki said.
Dean looked to her and she pointed at the table "And he took my car!" Dean cried "too Late!" HE was silent for a minute "All right" And with that he hung up and moved from the couch.
"What are you doing?!" Vicki asked and he waved her off and she glared at him. "You need to-"
"I need find Sam" Dean said.
She sighed dramatcially as Dean then managed to find an Angle grinder. "Dean..please don't"
He looked at her and then down at the cast "You're goin' down" He said and he began to cut into it, Vicki heaved a sigh and when the cast fell off Dean almost fell backwards. She grabbed his shirt and moved him forward.
"Watch what you're doing!"
"Okay Babe" he said.
She glared at him and he moved wincing slightly as he pulled on a sock and his boot. "Come on"
"With what Car?" She asked.
"I...uh..didn't think that far" Dean shrugged.
She rolled her eyes and followed him out and eventually they found a car and drove to the Gas & Sip Store. The two of them went in, Dean nearly tripping over his own two feet. They went up to the counter.
"How you doing? Uh was there a, uh, big guy in here yesterday?" Dean asked.
"That's specific" The Clerk said.
"He means, Big, about yea high" Vicki said
"Yeah, maybe, uh brown hair?" He asked.
"Yes! Yes. That's him, do you, uh-you remember what he bought?" Dean asked.
"Snacks maybe?" He said making face.
"How about a paper? Do you have yesterday's paper?" Vicki asked.
"Yeah, right there" He said pointing to it.
"Oh" Dean said and he picked up the paper and seen the headline about the ice pick killer. "Do you mind?" He asked and the Clerk shrugged and both Dean and Vicki walked out of the store and got in the car. "I know where we gotta go" Dean said and started the car. Vicki read the paper.
"Ice pick killer?" She asked.
"Yeah, we hunted one back something like this back when Sam was about fifteen"
"Ah" Vicki said nodding. "This seems fimilar"
"Is it an episode maybe?"
"maybe..." She muttered.
They got to the Coronor's room and Vicki ended up saying she was an intern and doing a research thing for the college she went too.
"This is the one he asked to see" The Coronor said and showed them the body.
"Great, great, uh let me ask you, did he do anything to it?" Dean asked.
"No. He just asked a few questions about the other vics, missing pituitary glands and so forth"
"Son of a bitch" Dean said. "Thanks for your time"
"Your welcome" The Cornor said and Dean and Vicki left.
"What is it?" she asked.
"A kitsune" Dean said.
"What the hell is that?" She asked.
"I'll explain in a minute, gotta call Bobby" Dean said.
Vicki nodded and got in the car "How's your leg?" Vicki asked.
"You worry too much" Dean said.
"I'm just asking" she shrugged.
"It's doing okay" He nodded.
"Right" He called Bobby after starting the car and put it on speaker phone.
"Hello?"
"Bobby, I know what he's hunting. It's A Kitsune" Dean said.
"Sam's chasin a what?" Bobby asked.
"A kitsune. It's pretty rare, dad and I hunted one back in'98" Dean said.
"Vaguely rings a bell" Bobby said.
"Yeah didn't make our highlight reel" Dean said.
"Well least we know he's workin' a job" Bobby said.
"Yeah but why pul the Houdini act?" Dean asked.
"Not a clue...what are you gonna do when you catch up?"
"I got a few ideas" Dean nodded.
"Don't do anything stupid"
"try not to" Dean said and hung up the phone.
"What are you going to do?" Vicki asked.
"Nothing. Just talk"
"Dean Winchester does not just simply TALK about it he acts before he talks" Vicki said.
"Yeah..." He shrugged and they pulled into the motel. Dean walked into the check in and asked the guy questions. He walked bac out a minute later and the two of them walked to the motel room and went in.
A few minutes later the door began to unlock and Dean walked over to it Sam opened the door surprised and then Dean hit him a punch and he fell back into the plants.
"Howdy, Sam" Dean said.
"Dean" Vicki scolded.
She moved and helped Sam in to the room and Sam movedover to the refrigerator.
"NEw rule. You steal my baby, you get punched. The hell were you thinking Sam, running off like that? I mean, for all I know Satan could have been callin' your plays" Dean said.
Sam put the can to his head "Dean, look how many times do I have to tell you? I'm fine"
"Oh yeah you're the poster boy for mental health. You have any idea the kind of horror shows I had going on in my head?" Dean asked.
"Dean, I left you guy's a note. There was job in town"
"A kitsune. Yeah. Yeah, no I know. And you ignore Bobby, Vicki and I's phone calls what exactly?" Dean asked.
"Because I wanted to take care of it. And I did. I took care of it" Sam said.
"Really?" Dean asked.
"Yes" Sam nodded.
"Where's the body?" Dean asked.
"There is no body" Sam replied.
"WHy not?" Dean asked.
"Because I let her go. She's gone"
"You what? Why?" Dean asked.
-FLASHBACK-
A young Sam opened the front door to leave Amy's house, Amy's mother is standing at the door and she grabbed him and forced him backwards.
"Sam!" Amy cried.
"I knew you were hiding something. See, we can never blow town without Amy throwing a bitch ift. So agreeeing to go peacfully-well. Who is this?" Her mother asked.
"He's my friend" Amy replied.
"No, he's not" Her mother snapped.
"Sam!" Amy cried.
"Shut up! What is wrong with you huh? You that stupid? Really? I already told you, you cannot have friends. This kid is food!"
"No!"
Amy's mother let go of Sam and backhanded Amy and she fell to the ground . "That'll teach you" She said to her. Her fingernails began to grow into pointed clows and she went to attack Sam but then they changed back to normal because Amy stabbed her from behind.
END OF FLASHBACK
"You never told me that" Dean said.
"I never told anyone. I mean, can you imagine what dad would've done?" Sam asked.
"You saw the article in the newspaper and you just bolted" Dean said.
"It was my mess" Sam said.
"And you call letting her go, cleaning it up?"
"She killed her own mom, Dean, to save me" Sam said.
"I hear you Sam. I do. But look at her now. She's dropping bodies man...which means we got to drop her. No matter how many merit badges she racked up when she was a kid. I'm sorry but it's that simple" Dean said.
"Nothing in our lives is simple" Sam said.
FLASHBACK
"You have to run Amy! Do you have cash?" Sam asked.
She nodded.
"I...I wans you on the first bus out of town. Tonight"
"But what about-" She began.
"Ill take care of her, just go!" Sam said.
Come with me. We don't have to be alone. We can be freaks together, Sam" She said but Sam stayed silent "Sam..."
"I can't I'm sorry"
"So am I" She replied and she left.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Look man, I get it, okay? You meet a girl, you feel that spark, there's nothing better" Dean said "But this freak?"
"Dean!" Vicki snapped.
Sam grabbed his jacket and went for the door.
"Sam" Vicki began.
"I didn't mean-" Dean began.
"Yeah you did. Look I see the way you look at me, Dean, like I'm a grenade and you're waiting for me to go off" Sam said.
"Sam-" Vicki began.
"I'm not going off. Look I might be a freak, but that's not the same as dangerous" Sam said.
"I didn't say-" Dean began.
"It's okay. Say it. I've spent my whole life trying to be normal, but come on. I'm not normal. Look at all the crap I've done. Look at me now. I'm a grade A freak. But managing it and so is Amy"
"Is she? How?" Dean asked.
"She works at a damn funeral home so she doesn't have to kill anyone Dean! She's figured out how to deal" Sam said.
"Okay well then explain the bodies" Dean said.
"She's done. Her friggin' kid was dying, Dean. Put you or me or Vicki in her position, We'd probably do the same thing. Look you don't trust her, fine. Trust me" Sam said.
Everything was silent for a minute "Okay" Dean nodded.
"Seriously?" Sam asked.
"Gotta start sometime right?" Dean asked.
"Right" Sam nodded.
"We're good right?" Vicki asked "We can go to sleep now?"
Sam laughed and Dean smirked "Yeah"
"Good because I'm sleep deprived" She said moving over to the bed.
"Yeah well you can move over cause your husband needs sleep"
"Shut up" She said and she moved over.
"How long are you gonna go with that?" Sam asked sitting on the other bed.
"Until my wife accepts it"
"Shut up" Vicki said rolling over onto her side.
"Aww my baby's tired" Dean cooed and played with a strand of hair.
She swatted his hand away and tried her best not to kick him. "Go to sleep Dean" She snapped.
The next day Dean and Vicki were standing outside of Biggerson's Resteraunt.
"Bozeman. Right. Got it" Dean said "Thanks" Sam walked over with a shopping bag "That was Bobby. We'll hole up in Spokane tonight. We'll meet him tomorrow. Why don't you drive?" Dean asked.
He tossed Sam the keys to the Impala.
"You gonna punch me again?" Sam asked.
Vicki smirked and they got in the car, on the way back a flash of the girl Amy and Dean moved into her mind and she watched as he killed her.
Dean stopped the car outside the motel room "Hey why don't you two uh, go get us checked in? I got to hit the candy store?" He said. He was lying "Doctor's orders"
"I need to get antibiotics" Vicki lied.
"For what?"
"never mind" She said huffily.
"I'll get-"
"I'll get them" Vicki snapped.
Sam got out of the car and Dean started the car and waved Sam off as he went into the place.
"you are such a fucking liar" Vicki said leaning forward.
"What?"
"You're not getting pills. You're going to kill Amy"
"No I'm-"
"I seen it Dean" She said "I seen you do it...you can't she has a kid!"
"I have to" He said and sped the car up.
"You don't...and if Sam finds out?"
"I'll cross that bridge when I come to it" He said shrugging.
"You're going to hurt him by doing this Dean...he's ragile enough as it is..."
"I need to" he said and stopped the car outside another motel.
"Dean-" She began.
"You're either with me...or you're not"
"That's not fair" She sighed.
"Vicki" He said almost pleading "Please"
"Dean I can't just-" She began but he cut her off.
"Please...promise me"
"You're using that against me Dean! That's not fair"
"A promise is a promise" He shrugged.
She bit her lip and looked away from him, folding her arms. "You're unbelievable!"
He sighed."I know...I know" He said "But it's my gut...I always go with my gut...just stay here...I don't want something bag happening to you"
She un folded her arms "No. You're not going in there alone"
"Stay here" he said.
He left the room and snuck into the room, and no more than five minutes later, Amy followed. Vicki got out of the car and watched carefully, seeing the little boy going into the room and she sighed biting her lip as Dean walked out and over to the car.
"You alright?" He asked.
"Peachy" She answered.
"Listen-"
"Don't okay. I get it. But don't expect me to stand up for you when it comes to Sam" She shrugged and got into the car. He stood for a minute and then followed her in and started the car driving it back to the motel they were staying at.
