Bobby's POV
It's been two days since those idgits left to go get that relic and not a single phone call or nothin'.
I hate to admit it, but I'm starting to get worried, and I think Cas is too.
"Ya think I should call them?"
Cas looks up from the book he is reading. "I believe that may be a good idea."
I am on my way to get the phone when it starts ringing. It's Dean.
"Speak of the devil. Hello?"
"Hey Bobby."
He sounds nervous.
"Where the hell are you two?"
Dean lets out a shaky laugh. "Well, you see, Sam and I had a little trouble finding the relic at first, but then we finally found it."
"Is there a point to all this?"
"Yeah, well, we didn't know it was protected."
"Protected? What do you mean protected?"
"What I mean is, Sam is getting thrown around the room, I am sitting on the floor from being thrown across the room and we need help. Like now."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously. We need help, like yesterday."
"Alright, alright, I got it. Where are you?"
"We're in the church now."
"Alright, I'll be there as soon as I can be."
"Thanks Bobby."
"Yeah whatever, just go stop your brother from smashing into any more walls."
"Right."
We both hang up and I start packing.
"What's going on?"
Damn, I forgot about Cas.
"Um, Sam and Dean need a little help getting the relic."
"It was protected wasn't it?"
"Yeah."
"And they're being thrown around a room, aren't they?"
"Yes."
"Alright, let's go."
Wait a sec. "What do you mean let's?"
Cas stops and looks at me. But it isn't a naïve angel look; no this is Cas's I'm-a-warrior-of-God look.
"I know you don't think I should come. But I am not staying here, while you three rush into danger for me. I'm sure you have some very good reasons to make me stay, but like you said, I'm one of you. As I've often heard you said, we stick together."
Wow. He's been paying attention. And has a pretty good argument.
"I want to argue with you, but you do have some good points, and besides, we don't have the time to waste."
Cas smirks in triumph. Damn angel.
We pack up and are on the road within the hour.
The drive is silent but comfortable. Nothing is said between us and nothing needs to be said.
It takes us two hours to get to the church at our top speed.
When we make it, it is quiet, a little to quiet.
We slowly make our way to the altar. I am armed with a shotgun and a flashlight while Cas has his angel blade in hand.
We make it to the front without anything happening. It's there we find the demon knife, just sitting there and not to far away, on the ground, is Dean's phone.
I pick up the knife, turn to Cas and whisper, "You go to the left, I'll go right, if you find anything that belongs to the boys, pick it up. If you find the boys, come get me."
Cas nods and heads to the left, angel blade ready. I feel bad for whatever is here.
I head right and do an almost complete circle before I find anything. Well, I didn't exactly find something, but I did hear something. I head towards this closet where I heard the noise. I slowly open the door. Inside I find Sam and Dean, unconscious and slumped together, but otherwise, unharmed.
I look around before entering.
"Sam, Dean, hey, get up. We got to go."
Nothing, they are totally out of it. I should go get Cas.
I head out and start looking for Cas, I find him crouching, studying something on the ground.
"Hey Cas."
His head turns slightly. "Yes?"
"I found Sam and Dean, they are in a closet. They're totally out of it, but they're okay."
"Good."
"Watcha got?" I join him in staring at whatever is on the ground.
"I have no idea."
And neither do I. It is some black goo. If I didn't know any better, I would say ectoplasm. But since I do know better. That is so not it.
"Any guess?"
"No."
"Well, we should go get Sam, Dean and the relic and get out of here before that thing protecting it comes back."
"That is a good idea."
We head to the closet; it is big enough for the both of us to be in. I start working on waking Sam, while Cas takes Dean.
"Sam, wake up. Don't make me smack you."
Sam's eyes slowly open, as do Dean's.
"Bobby? Cas?"
"Yeah it's us."
Dean groans and looks at Cas
"What the hell are you doing here Cas? You're hurt."
"Yes he is, but since you're and idgit and got in trouble, we came to save your ass because someone wouldn't take no for an answer. Besides, he can't abandon his boyfriend now can he?"
Dean just looks at me. So worth it.
Cas suddenly stiffens. Dean's attention shoots back to him.
"Hey Cas, you okay? What's wrong?"
"Do you have the relic?"
Sam reaches into his pocket and pulls it out. "Yeah."
"Then we must get out of here right-"
Cas never gets to finish his sentence. He is cut off by a very low, very loud, and very close growl.
"Never mind."
