Emily turned down another ally, frowned at the dead end and doubled back. She faintly heard Gabriel sigh "You have no idea where we are do you?" Emily turned to see him stood with his arms crossed and eyebrow raised. He looked somewhat like a sassy teenage girl when he moved his hands to his waist.
"I know where we are." Emily replied with a frown, she looked to the left then the right; both ways held no sign of clues as to where they where. Only showing surprisingly empty roads, for this time of day. Afternoon usually had people driving home from work in a determined and tired race against the other drivers.
"Oh Emily dear, I doubt that." Emily jumped when she turned to be inches away from non other than Sameal. He chuckled at how startled Emily was, she was sure he found it highly amusing by the twinkle in his eye "I see you found our angel." he glanced at Gabriel. Emily took a large step away from him, ignoring the odd look that passed Sameal's face when she did.
"Archangel. And I don't belong to you." Gabe corrected with a huff. Sameal ignored Gabriel's correction but gave him an eyebrow raise.
"Well done Emily. You are quite an errand girl." Emily balked at what she considered an insult. Sameal rolled his eyes with the hint of a smile. "Don't get all prissy." he turns to Gabriel "I thought you'd like to know another one of your witch's friends are dead." Sameal didn't seem sorry or sympathetic in the least as Gabriel's face contorted into a frown.
"That means Luke is in trouble." Gabe muttered.
"We have to help him." Emily said even though it went against every hunter instinct to help a supernatural creature. Sameal raised his eyebrows stepping back. Gabe gave a laugh "Nah, I'm getting hell outta dodge." he pushed past her looking around "So where you staying at?"
Emily pulls him to face her by his shoulder, fixing him with an extremely pissed glare. "He's your friend, you can't just leave him to die." she searched for a hint of humanity but all she got was a smirk. "He's more of an acquaintance and I can leave him." Gabriel pulled Emily's hand off. Emily stepped back; her face turning blank as her faith in Angels came to a bloody end by the hands of this bitter, angry creature. She couldn't comprehend why he wouldn't help his friend; if it was Sam or Dean... well she already blood bonded with a demon for that, said demon standing beside her.
"I could tell you where the body is." Sameal said as Emily stared at Gabriel in disappointment. Finally she looks at Sameal.
"Take us to the motel, I need to get changed." she said coldly.
Sameal smiled at her at with a snap and a "Your wish is my command." they were in their motel room. Emily grabbed her bag from under her bed and pulled out her FBI clothes, "Sameal, keep an eye on Gabe." she said entering the bathroom and getting changed quickly. She heard a scoff then Sameal answered.
"I'm not a babysitter, but I guess I could." he grouched. Emily swung the door open at she finished off her outfit by pulling her hair into a high ponytail, she gave him a nods.
"Thanks." she threw over her shoulder as she left the motel room.

Sam text Dean again, straightening his tie to his FBI uniform. He hated when Dean left him with the only alternative to get a bus. It didn't look very professional and he had no distraction when combing the residents house for EMF. He'd rung Dean and Emily at least a hundred times, yet still they didn't answer. Emily was probably still pissed at him and Dean distracted by some nameless blond while Cas sat awkwardly in the corner.
Sam sighed walking down the street where the police had already taken the body. Great! Just another thing he had to do.
Finally he approached the two officers, a Kasowsky and Fisher.
Fisher was the younger of the two, with baby blue eyes that seemed friendly and slightly crinkled in the corners. His mousy brown hair combed and neat even thought the wind was blowing strong.
Kasowsky however, was a seasoned officer that stared at Sam like he just wanted to get this over with and go home and ,if the dark circles were any indication, sleep. He was rather...shall we say plumper, than his partner and greying black hair.
"Evening gentlemen." Sam said raising his FBI badge briefly and inwardly rolled his eyes at the way they straightened and tugged at their uniforms to look more presentable. "I'm agent Smith. What happened?"
Fisher shook his head sadly "Poor gal. Miss Olivia Peters was a pillar of the community, 34 and with two kids." He looked behind him where a very distraught man was being questioned.
"I feel sorry for Grant and the kids." Kasowsky mentioned sighing sadly.
Sam nodded as he watched the guy he assumed was Grant break down in tears, "Husband?" he asked despite the officer saying she was a Miss.
Kasowsky shook his head. "Boyfriend, her ex-husband got caught cheating on her with one of his students. The girl he cheated with was one of the kids Miss Peters use to babysit." he said. Sam whistled, he still needed a look in the house though to find any evidence connecting Miss peters to any witch craft.
Sam nodded to the officers "Mind if I take a look?" Kosowsky shrugged.
"I need to get back to the station, Fisher here will take care of you." Fisher's face lit up before he schooled his features and gave a nod to the older officer. Sam suspected this was the first time Fisher had been allowed to do something on his own.
Kasowsky said his goodbye to Sam and left in the police car. Sam turned to Fisher "I can do this, no need to tag along." he gave the young officer a reassuring smile. The officer gave him a blinding smile and shook his head "No, I'll stay and I might even find something." Sam resisted sighing, why couldn't he catch a break?
Sam just nodded and headed to the house, Fisher chased at his heel like an overexcited puppy. Fisher quickly jumped forward and removed the tape for Sam with that smile still on his face. Sam cocked his head hearing a fast click, click, click racing in their direction. Out of instinct ,and years of training, he reached for his gun as he span. "Hey, Sam wait." Emily huffed getting closer to him, one hand clutching her side and another holding her heels. She was wearing the same outfit as when they were at that salt and burn, though there were some sweat marks near her armpits.
"Shoot me and I will come back to haunt you." she warned, knowing exactly what he was about to do. Sam rolled his eyes at her and turned to the young officer.
"This is agent Axel." he introduced.
Emily raised an eyebrow at him but only reached to shake Fishers hand "Emily Axel, nice to meet you."
Fisher shook her hand firmly "Nice to meet you too agent Axel. I'm officer Callum Fisher." Emily grinned at him and Sam turned back to the scene and ducks inside the door. Unlike most of the witch cases Sam had worked on, the huge room was surprisingly clean.
At first glance you wouldn't think a murder had taken place, but the small droplets of blood collected around the couch gave it away.
"What are they saying she died of." Sam asks causing Fisher to stop gazing at Emily. He quickly bound over to Sam taking a look around and imitating Sam's posture.
"Um...razor blades. Who ever did this made her swallow razor blades." Sam rolled his eyes at that, could they never get more creative?
He crouched and shoved his hand under the couch where the drops of blood formed a deformed circle. All he found there was dust bunnies and loose change.
"Ew, what the hell is this?" Fisher had found a small bundle pushed down the side of the couch "Is that bones?" he asked horrified when he unravelled it, both Emily and Sam went over to him sharing a look.
Well this was definitely a witch murder.

Dean pushed the demon up against the wall by his throat, leaving his toes barely touching the ground. "Why are you following us? Did Abaddon send you? Where is she?" the demon choked but smiled at Dean. He spat at Dean sending him into a fit of rage and throwing the demon across the dank ally. "Dean." Cas warned "We need him for information. Remember." Dean growled but took a calming breath.
Cas stepped forward with angel blade in hand "Answer the question, Demon." he spat glaring the man down. The demon smirked at him then bent his head to look around Cas to Dean.
"That woman you're hanging around with. Such a delicate flower, pity if something were to happen to her or Sammy for that matter." He laughed manically. Dean stepped forward quickly taking the blade from Cas and stabbing the demons shoulder. How dare he! Dean couldn't hold much of his anger in anymore.
A scream echoed out from their secluded ally to world outside. The demon slashed a hand out ripping Dean's right sleeve up to the elbow.
"Where is Queen bitch?" the demon paled, now realising who it was dealing with. He shook his head and Dean punched him hard enough for a tooth to go flying.
"Please I don't know." his faced twisted from pleading to a sneer "But she'll find you and when she does." he lent forward "She'll skin you alive after you watch her rip apart that whore and your baby brother." he laughed again and Dean had finally had enough. He pulled Ruby's knife out and stabbed him in the head over and over.
Cas put a hand on Dean's shoulder when he wouldn't stop "It's over." still Dean continued until blood splattered over his face and clothe, "Dean!"
He looked at Cas. "It's over. Lets go back."
Dean snorted "So much for getting information huh?" Cas nodded and followed him to the car.

Gabriel swung his legs as he sat on the bed making weird noises because he was bored. The TV for once didn't hold his attention and he couldn't stop glancing at Sameal, who was staring at Gabe intently. He briefly thought Sameal looked like Cas when he did that and he didn't want to compare his brother to whatever the hell this was. Gabe thought Sameal was trying to figure something out.
"I don't get it."
Ok so maybe he was figuring something out after all. Gabe sighed "What?" he had a feeling he wasn't going to like this conversation.
"Well Luke was your friend yet you refuse to help him." Gabe stood ignoring him. He really did care, just a little. But last time he cared Kali stuck a blade in his chest, yes it wasn't real but she thought it was. That had hurt more than he wanted to admit, and still he went back for her. Not because he still loved her but because she was the last piece of his fucked up adoptive family he had managed to save.
Gabe grabbed his jacket, "Fuck it." he muttered "Hey, Manny!" Sameal looked at him, not impressed with his nickname. "You're coming with me." he left through the door. Luke was a friend, he at least needed to try.
Sorry guy's, life got in the way. Hope you like this one though.
