Beneath my Skin

Jo sighed and brought the rubbish bag further into her hands, she brushed a stray hair out of her face and looked around, wishing she had pot her coat on, as it seemed he temp had dropped drastically she sighed and rounded the back of the roadhouse. She threw the bag into the bin and went to turn, when the hairs on the back of her neck stood on edge, she was being watched she could feel it

She spun around her eyes taking in the surroundings looking for anything that shouldn't have been there, looking for something that would account for her weird behavior, when she found none she shook her head and put it down to imagining things; she laughed to herself and headed back to the roadhouse, not aware of the person following behind her.

Max laughed until her sides hurt, she couldn't even remember what she was laughing for, but she knew she didn't want to stop it had been awhile since she had laughed this much, and she was grateful to the man across from her.

"He actually did that" Dean nodded his head a laugh escaping his own body; he looked over at Max and smiled.

"But if you told her that, then he would deny it of course" Max nodded her head and brought the beer to her lips. Dean lowered his gaze he couldn't believe he was being so open around a near stranger, but it just seemed to come so natural when she was around, it was like she brought out the best in everyone and she didn't even know it.

An urgent knock at the door brought their attention back to the here and now, and they both spun to face the door, were Ellen was pocking her head around it, a urgent look plastered across her face, a look Max hadn't seen for a long while.

"We got trouble" Max nodded her head and removed herself from the chair, her actions and body language going from the fun carefree women that Dean had moments ago seen, to the cold hunter he had seen when she had put a bullet in the shape shifter that was pretending to be her brother.

Dean quickly followed her out of the room, trying to work his mind out of the haze of alcohol that he had consumed in the last two hours; he ran his hand over his face and headed over to the table that held his father and brother, who both seemed rather anxious.

"Dad what is it?" Ok her defiantly sounded a ad drunk, that wasn't good maybe he shouldn't have had all the whisky and tequila, ok Dean get your head in the game, you're a hunter, he thought to himself while he seated himself next to his brother, his eyes roaming over to Max who didn't look half as intoxicated as he did, why was that she drunk way more then he did, he shook his head and placed his head onto the table, he took a deep breath before lifting his head and turned to his father.

Ash shoved the lap top over to the two newcomers and watched as Max's face turned into one of recognition she shook her head and laughed slightly, while Dean just looked confused.

"I don't get what this is saying" He said his hands pointing to the lap top his brow raised.

"It says that the demon is headed here, but that would mean the demon is stupid and we both know he's not, I mean why come here, this place is full of hunters. Its would be suicide"

John shook his head, he had thought the same thing at first but the more he thought about it the more it made sense.

"It wants us to know it can go were ever it wants whenever it wants, and with out a way to kill it, or we can do is duck and hope he misses us"

A blood piercing scream filtered through the window, and every pair of heads turned to the sound, their hands going to their guns and drawing them out quickly taking the safety of.

"Jo"

Max jumped down from the chair and out her shoulder brushed past Deans as she ran pas him, her gun drawn at her side, she pushed open the roadhouse door and exited their site.

Sam and John were the next ones to follow her footsteps John only stopping to tell Ellen to stay with Ash, she went to protest but he shook his head, and headed through the door, only to be assaulted by heavy wind and rain.

"What the hell is with the weather" Dean breathed out his head low trying to protect him self from the harshness of it.

"We need to find Max" Sam pointed out coming up b behind his father; John nodded his head in agreement.

"We should spit up, meet here in ten minuets" Dean and Sam nodded there heads and headed of in different directions, Dean going to the left and behind the roadhouse, while Sam went with his father.

"Max" Dean called out his voice being drowned out by the howling of the wind, he raised his gun, the other hand coming up to protect his eyes, he placed his back against the wall, and looked around making sure the coast was clear before rounding the corner.

"Max" He called out again his voice harsh with the effort, he hear a moan to his left and turned his head towards the noise as he desperately tried to get his eyesight to adjust to the darkness and harsh conditions.

"Dean" Dean spun his body around and felt himself connect with the ground a hand tightening around his throat.

"Jo its me" Jo's face came into view and she let her hand fall to her head, before removing herself from his waist and helping him stand.

"Im sorry, I thought it was him" Dean raised his brow and shoved her up against the wall, his body guarding her from the harsh weather.

"Jo who" Jo shook her head, and Dean could see that she was shaking a small cut above her right brow that by now had stopped bleeding.

"He has Max, she was helping me, she didn't see him coming, I tried to help her" Dean rolled his eyes and forced Jo to look at him, his eyes bearing down on her

"Jo who has Max"

"Dean" It was Sam's strong voice and his body appeared behind him moments later, his dad close behind.

"Where's Max" John questioned placing his hand onto Deans shoulder, and he looked down at the frightened face of Jo and his gut curled.

"The demon has her" Dean turned nervous eyes on his father, and let go of Jo's shoulder, but she grabbed hold of his arm in a vice like grip.

"You don't understand, its Gordon, Gordon has Max"
