Lake Powell, Utah

It was a very long night indeed as it was most likely to be a doozy, but with a Shinigami twist. The sound of a motorcycle being revved up had been zooming down the trail as it was crossing the lake to where the granaries were at. Still, the motorcycle itself was an old one as it was styled back in the thirties complete with a sidecar attached to it. By the time it parked next to the water, two Shinigami got out of there as they were exhausted from their days on the road. Both of them were ready to turn in as they were about to get their gear set up. One of the Shinigami was muscular as he was dressed up in a grey hoodie, navy shirt and shorts that were slightly below the knee. He also wore glasses as he took off his helmet to reveal light brown hair which was kept up in a ponytail. He was the fun-loving type as he even got out his stereo with all his favorite music on it.

As for the other Shinigami, however, he was getting out of the sidecar as he was stretching his legs after enduring every bumpy turn on the motorcycle. Even though he isn't as muscular as the first Shinigami, he was dressed in a red Qing Dynasty robe with white pants and black shoes as he also had long black hair in a braid that was down to his feet complete with a black cap over his head. He had a youthful appearance as he was also ready to take on the day in the most strange situations, but for now, he wanted to turn in for the night just like his friend there.

"Oh, this is a long day," he said as he laid down on the rocky ground.

"What's the matter, Samehada? You getting pooped to haul ass right now?" said the other Shinigami.

"You could at least get some smoother roads in on this old jalopy of yours, Otoka."

"Hey, that thing's a classic! I even souped it up and everything just to play my music without waking up the neighbors."

"Dude, you gotta check out what's over there on the other side of the lake." Samehada was using a pair of binoculars as he spotted the Impala parked at one of the rest stops. "Check it out! That thing's an old classic, but it gets around just fine."

"What are you talking about?"

"Otoka, look over there." Samehada hands him the binoculars. "There's an old classic Chevy Impala parked on the other side of the lake."

"Yep, and look at the douche nozzles that are driving it, too."

Otoka spotted Sam and Dean sitting on top of the Impala with the binoculars as he was about to encounter them sooner or later. Even Samehada was curious to see them as they were there drinking beer and munching on hamburgers for dinner. Still, both Otoka and Samehada had a lot to do before going on their next trip, but they had to rest up as they were about to set up camp in the long run...

###

Sam was staring at the night sky as the lake was clear on an early spring evening. He wanted to get some sleep as he even wanted to crash in the backseat. The memory of being chased by those horrible hunters made him feel weary after being rescued as he wanted to clear his head for a little bit. Still, it wasn't long until he saw Dean break out the beer and diner food that he bought earlier as they both wanted to get something to eat before checking in at a motel. Still, they had a long search for their father in mind as they were also caught in the same hunt of the demon that killed their mother all those years ago. Anyway, they decided to take a load off for a little bit as they were most likely to run into some trouble along the way.

"So, you're still thinking about those crazy people that tried to hunt you down, aren't you?" asked Dean. "Admit it; you're on edge the moment we left Minnesota, but it's very complicated for you, isn't it?"

"After being caught in such a chamber of horrors, I needed to take a long breather," answered Sam.

"Well, we're in Lake Powell right now, so sit tight and relax."

"It's pretty well spent, but Lake Powell is also in Anasazi territory."

"Anasazi? You're not playing Lone Ranger, are you?"

"On the other side of the lake, there are some granaries that were once inhabited by the Anasazi long ago. Now, they are just derelicts, but they have centuries of history long before the arrival of European settlers."

"So saith my geek brother..."

Dean chuckled as he was taking another bite of his hamburger. He was still staring at the night sky as a cold air was about to blow in. It was yet another freezing night as he finished up his hamburger and swigged down the rest of his beer while going back inside of the Impala. He was hoping to find a place for the night as he would also most likely to be getting into a nice warm bed for a while. It wasn't long until Sam got into the car as he was about to take the backseat just to fall asleep from all that driving. Somehow, Dean didn't mind as he saw his younger brother lay down while looking at the army man that was crammed into the ashtray.

"It seems like forever just to find Dad, isn't it?" he asked.

"We're just in the middle of nowhere just to take a breather, but we'll find ourselves back in action the moment we get a case," said Sam.

"Come on, don't be like that, Sammy. I'm pretty sure that there's a motel there so we can get a room for the night."

THUMP!

Sam heard something land near the rest stop as he got up and left out of the Impala. With his gun at the ready, he was on alert as he saw an intruder sitting on a boulder. With his flashlight in his hand, he noticed that it was a Shinigami that appeared out of nowhere as he had never seen him before. Still, Sam had to be on his guard as he became suspicious about the intruder that invaded his surroundings. Without warning, the Shinigami began to attack at him as he pushed him back down. The intruder was no slouch as he grabbed his guitar and strummed it with a powerful noise. Sam was knocked down as he covered his ears from the sound of the bass. He later felt something wet from his ears as he looked it directly. It was blood as the impact of the sound caused it to run from his ear. Still, he was staring at the Shinigami directly as he had his guitar on hand.

"Well, I finally got at one of the douch nozzles that's been camping out at this side of Lake Powell, haven't I?" he said.

"Whoever you are, you're treading on our turf," said Sam as he was clutching at his ear.

"Look, dumb-ass, Samehada and I got first dibs on our side of the lake, but you should be getting the hell out of dodge right about now."

"Look, my brother and I were not looking out for trouble, so we're in the same boat just like you."

"Um, Sammy," said Dean as he had his hands up with Samehada carrying a sword that was pointed directly at him. "I think we have a problem here."

"You bet you do," said Samehada. "Hey, Otoka, what should we do with them?"

"We're taking them back to our side of the lake," he answered. "Besides, it's not safe for anyone to be out here at night anyway."

Dean sighed as he picked up Sam and took him to the backseat of the Impala where Samehada sat down next to him. When Dean took the driver's side, he saw Otoka get in on the passenger's side as he closed the door behind him. With the car started, the Impala was ready to go as it drove away from the rest stop entirely. The rude awakening caused Dean to drive towards a bridge that lead to the other side of Lake Powell as he finally made it to where the granaries were built. With the Impala parked by Otoka's motorcycle, everyone got out as they made it into the granaries the moment the night air made the outdoors inhospitable.

"This is one hell of a setup," said Dean.

"Hey, it's better than sleeping outside," said Otoka. "These granaries are the bomb! At least check them out when you go in there. Hell, there's even a safe house inside them somewhere."

"Dude, we're looking at going into Totsuka's place while he's on the hunt right now," said Samehada.

"Hey, you guys have a lot of explaining to do," said Totsuka as he was standing next to his motorcycle. "I bet that you have Sam and Dean in tow as well."

"Totsuka, what are you doing here?" asked Sam.

"Me? In these granaries, I happen to live here because it's my safe house. Feel free to follow me in, but please don't get into too much trouble."

Sam was aware that there was company here as he was being carted away by Dean into the entrance of the granaries while following Totsuka inward. With Otoka and Samehada following them inside, they were into the interior of the granaries as there was a mix of the ancient and modern inside. This was Totsuka's safe house as it also had many weapons and many arrays of metal stored in a large vault. With Sam being carted away by Otoka, Dean and Samehada remained as they were admiring the weapons that were made over the years, for some of them were made to deal with the monsters that were lurking in plain sight as well. There were also many pictures of the weapons that were made centuries ago as they were all over the wall with a portrait of a familiar historical figure in the center of the mantle above a fireplace. Dean was impressed to see something like that adorn the fireplace as it was someone that was a great weaponsmith that ever lived.

"I take it that you're liking the portrait," said Totsuka.

"That picture is of the great Samuel Colt, isn't it?" asked Dean.

"The one and only. His weapons are so legendary that he even sold one to a rich sultan, but there is a great masterpiece that he made in which it can take out any demonic creature that ever skulked the earth."

"I read about it from Dad's journal because it's also something that's a relic, too."

"That thing's more than a relic," said Samehada. "The gun that Samuel Colt made not only can kill monsters, but it can also open the gates of Hell as well if it wound up in the wrong hands."

"Speaking of which, there had been rumors that the yellow-eyed demon wants it to open that gate again," said Totsuka. "It may be a bad move, but I hope that the one that has the Colt had better be careful into guarding it well."

"What do you mean 'guarding it well?'" asked Dean.

"The Colt was last guarded by Daniel Elkins, who I know personally, but he won't let anyone take it for their own selfish gains, including the yellow-eyed demon."

Dean was now aware of the Colt in the possession of Daniel Elkins as he was looking for his father's journal. When he picked it up, he was thumbing through the pages as he spotted an image of the legendary gun that was made for killing monsters. It was a huge deal when the time for killing the yellow-eyed demon would be necessary in the long run as it was also a weapon like no other. He couldn't wait to tell Sam about this as he was ready to track down the monster and find their father in the process as well.

"Just you wait," he said to himself. "There is a weapon that kills monsters just like everything else."

###

Sam was busy relaxing in a hot spring after cleaning himself up earlier. The hot water was a panacea to him as he was sitting there warming himself in the very hot water that was in a cavern near Totsuka's safe house. It was the only high point here as he wanted to soak a little bit longer. He preferred it that way as he was sitting there without any distractions whatsoever, but that was about to change sooner or later. By the time he was about to get out of the hot spring, he saw Otoka get in there as he was most likely to be soaking from all that toil earlier. Unfortunately, Sam had to endure the hot spring for a little while longer as he had company in the form of an obnoxious Shinigami.

"How's it goin'?" asked Otoka as he was playing in the hot water.

"I was about to get out, but it's gonna be delayed on my part," answered Sam.

"It's rude to leave the moment someone else comes in to visit you, didn't you know that?"

"This safe house has a huge hot spring."

"All Shinigami safe houses have hot springs and bathhouses in them. Why is there a hot spring or bathhouse there in a Shinigami safe house? It's because they're used to refresh them so they won't become wound up."

"Dean could use a little soak here. Besides, he would also want to let loose in here."

"He's too busy admiring the handiwork of Totsuka's weapons, but the head afficionado that made some of the fanciest and deadliest weapons was none other than Samuel Colt himself."

"I heard of him before from Dad. He said that he made a weapon that could kill any monster of demon that comes across the innocent."

The talk about the legendary Samuel Colt filled the hot springs cavern as Otoka was simply admiring the work of the legendary gunslinger. Even Sam was astonished to hear such talk coming from an obnoxious Shinigami like Otoka as he was eager to see the weapon that kills any monster or demon. The gun itself was a great find, but it was also a curse due to the high demand that came from it.

"The weapon is something that can roughly make anyone look and feel like a badass," said Otoka.

"And it's something that is sure to take any monster out, isn't it?" said Sam

"The Colt, which is named after you-know-who, also has a downside to it."

"What kind of downside?"

"The Colt can also be used as a key to open up the gates of Hell in certain places. Right now, that yellow-eyed chump's been finding a couple of sad sacks to fan out and search for the damn thing, even though it's still in old man Elkins' possession."

Sam could never believe his eyes as he was hearing the whole story about the legacy that was drawn to the legendary Colt. He wanted to know more as he was also curious about what would bring it both good and bad fortune to it. After getting out of the hot spring, he wrapped himself in a towel as he later dried himself off and put on a long robe. By the time he left the hot spring cavern, he returned to his room as he dug into a dresser to put on some nightclothes. With clean underclothes and an old clean nightgown, he was starting to get tired as he plopped down on the bed. The notions of both the yellow-eyed demon and the legendary Colt had swirled in his mind as he was even staring at the sky from outside. It was also a godsend that there were windows in the safe house as they were all over the granaries as well.

Climbing into the covers of the bed, Sam began to feel the warmth of them as he wanted to fall asleep right away. It didn't take long until he finally closed his eyes as he went directly to sleep while he was dreaming away. He was in Totsuka's safe house for the night as he was sleeping in his own room, which was a far cry to the ones that were in Yashamaru's and Tsenoh's safe houses. The feel of the safe house here felt more Native American than normal as it had the feel of ancient architecture all over it. Somehow, it was a place as it had something to fall back to as it was also a haven for weapons that were used to kill monsters with as well...

###

Dean was already in bed as he was in his own room. After getting a shower, he was in some nightclothes as he was still awake from all that travelling all over the place. Still, the conversation about the legendary Colt was something that couldn't be ignored as it was a coveted prize on both sides. He couldn't shake the fact that it was still in the possession of Daniel Elkins all this time as he was still pondering about its use against the yellow-eyed that killed his mother nearly twenty-three years ago. In a simple twist of fate, there would be a time when the Colt would come into play, but it would never be coveted by anyone again, regardless of someone being either human or monster. Dean wanted to know more about it sooner or later, but not right now as he was starting to feel tired. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard a noise coming from outside as he ran towards the window.

There was something that was haunting Totsuka's safe house as Dean noticed a specter staring back at him. The spirit itself resembled a prospector as it was dressed in frontier clothing complete with a picket ax and a gun. Who was he? Why was he haunting Totsuka's safe house all of a sudden? Dean had to tell Sam about it as he even had to be fully prepared to guard against the spirit from outside. Getting into his backpack, Dean got out a cannister of salt as he opened it up and began to pour some of it on the doorway and window. He had to be fully prepared in times like this as he was aware of the spirit that was haunting this safe house.

"That should do it," he said to himself as he climbed back into bed.

"Dude, seriously?" said Totsuka as he walked into the room and noticed the salt near the doorway. "I just had this room cleaned, too."

"Hey, earlier, I saw something outside that looked like a prospector. Could it be a spirit that died here before you came along to turn those granaries into your bachelor pad?"

"Spirit?" Totsuka ran towards the window as he saw the ghost standing from outside. "Looks like my place really is haunted after all..."

"I was aware of that, but-"

"Still, we're dealing with the spirit of Amos Bardy, who died in 1876. Back in the day, he was someone that didn't approve of the exploration that John Wesley Powell concocted, but his obsession for gold caused him to be killed in a cavern around here. There are even rumors that Bardy's ghost still haunts this place, but his remains were never found."

"I bet that Sam might be pondering the same thing about this vengeful spirit that's been all over your place."

"He's probably being pestered by Otoka and Samehada. Knowing the both of them, they'd be all over your brother like crap on rice."

Still Dean didn't have too much to worry as he was still up and awake. Somehow, the image of the prospector still burned in his mind as he wanted to get up and find the remains in order to burn them right away. Getting out of bed, he put on his robe as he grabbed his other bag full of weapons as he left the room with Totsuka following him. Both hunter and Shinigami were on the trail of the spirit's remains as they were about to go into further territory from within. They were even venturing further from the safe house through the adjoining caves as they even had flashlights with them. In such a strange twist of fate, they noticed that there was something wrong in the next cave as they shined their flashlights into it. To their shock, they noticed that the cave was full with bones that grew from the ground as if a spirit had done this after enduring such a gruesome death.

"Talk about weird," said Totsuka as he drew out his sword.

"Sam's gonna love this," said Dean as he saw the bones growing everywhere in the cave.

"This must be Amos Bardy's resting place by the looks of it. We better be on our guard if we're gonna find the remains in such a gruesome place like this."

"I sure hope that our gold-hungry spirit doesn't pull anything in-"

THOK!

A bone that was shaped like a stake hit the cave as Dean got out of the way before it happened. The bones here were sentient by the spirit as it refused to rest while being angry at the intruders. More bones began to emerge from the ground as they were about to hit Dean and Totsuka while they dodged them with such quick reflexes. Dean, on the other hand, was spotting something that was the source of the bone growth in the cave as there was a skeleton with a pick ax and gun in its hands. He finally found the remains of Amos Bardy as he was ready to salt them and burn them right away. When he made it to them, he did just that as he poured what was left of the salt on his person while dumping gasoline on them. By the time he lit a match and set it into the bones, they were finally burning as the rest of the bones here were starting to be set ablaze. The remains of Amos Bardy were no more as Dean was happy to put another vengeful spirit to bed. Even Totsuka was amazed that the spirit was no more as he was elated that his surroundings near his safe house were no longer haunted, for it was something that was now being done for the time being.

"So long, Mr. Prospector," said Dean as he left the cave.

"At least that there would be no more bones growing here for a long time," said Totsuka.

"Well, shall we get back?"

"I bet that you would want a brewskie after burning that set of bones."

"I can't wait until I tell Sammy about this. He's gonna be floored about the bones in the cave."

Dean was grinning like a Cheshire cat as he and Totsuka finally made it back to the safe house. With dawn coming up, they were both tired as they returned to their rooms to get some remaining sleep. The night of the bones would be a memory in the time of the hunt as it would also be a weird one indeed, but the true battle against the yellow-eyed demon would be a much proven challenge in the long run, no matter what direction should be taken...

###

Sam woke up as he saw the sun rising from outside. He was happy to get a good night's rest as he got up out of bed and got dressed. With clean clothes on hand, he was good to go as he left his room and went into the kitchen for some breakfast. The kitchen itself was a rustic one as it had even a Native American feel to it as well. Still, he was hungry as he wanted to get some breakfast sooner or later. Sitting down at a table, he noticed that there was a box of donuts that were foreign in nature as they came from a donut shop in Japan. He had never expected it to arrive until he later saw Otoka coming into the kitchen with some orange juice and chocolate milk in his hands. Even Samehada was there as he had a bag full of soymilk in his hands, for he didn't take too kindly to cow's milk that well.

"What's all this?" asked Sam.

"It's the breakfast of champions right there," answered Otoka as he got into the box of donuts.

"I've seen those donuts before. They come from a donut place in Sagamihara."

"That place has the best damn donuts ever. I like it because you can get any dozen of donuts just to fill the box up."

"I bet that Dean and Totsuka haven't woken up yet."

"I bet you anything that they went to the haunted cavern where the bones were growing at," said Samehada. "The place itself had been haunted for a while, but recently, the ghost of the prospector had been put to bed lately."

"Dean and Totsuka must have found the remains while salting and burning them. Anyway, they've earned some extra hours of rest after what they've been through."

"You're saying that they've been through enough in the cave as if you knew about it all along."

"I must have dreamt it while sleeping, but it was another hunt, regardless."

Sam grabbed one of the donuts out of the box as he later grabbed a cup and filled it up with some orange juice. He was rearing to start the day as he was eating at the donut slowly while Otoka and Samehada got their donuts and were chowing down at breakfast. Still, they all had to save a few back for Dean and Totsuka as they left the rest of the donuts alone for now. When Sam saw the sun rising up even further, he was admiring it as he was grateful that the morning was without any further incidents for the time being...

###

It was a bright morning as the sun was shining all over Lake Powell. The blond-haired woman named Meg stared at the sky as she was still trying to find the safe house where Totsuka lived, for Sam and Dean were also there as well. Still, she had to make a call to the bases of Hell as she had to have blood to do it with. Spotting a coyote near a boulder, she drew out her knife as she threw it into its neck. Blood seeped from the dead coyote's throat as Meg got out her pewter bowl and collected it in order to make a call finally. With enough blood in the pewter bowl, it was more than necessary for Meg to make a call as she was about to check in on the process into spying on the Winchester brothers and their allies.

"There's no sign of them anywhere," she said as she felt the pewter bowl vibrate. "Yes... I'll keep an eye on the Winchesters as planned..." She feels the bowl vibrate even further. "You mean Sam? He's probably being bossed around by his big brother right now..." The bowl continues to vibrate. "Don't worry, Father, I'll make sure that Sam will be at your side right after I gather some vampires to steal something that the Shinigami who descended from Elkins talked about during his travels soon enough, but he hides his safe house very well..."

Meg made her plans firm as she was willing to keep tabs on the Winchesters during their travels. She still wanted to hook up with Sam as she hasn't seen him since that time in that small town in Indiana. Anyway, she had to leave as she dumped the blood out of her pewter bowl and put it back into her bag. She was ready to spring her own spin on the Winchesters, but she had to wait until she would find them again somewhere, but not here in this rocky terrain. When she left the area, she was ready to catch a bus to Chicago as she was ready to meet up with the Winchesters again, especially Sam, for the time of Azazel's uprising was already well underway sooner or later...

###

Dean woke up as he was tired from hunting the vengeful spirit. Looking at the clock, he noticed that it was eleven in the morning as he wanted to get dressed and get ready to go soon. With some clean clothes on, he was out of his room as he wanted to say goodbye to this place before being on the way for another hunt. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed that Totsuka was already awake as he was going into the kitchen for some donuts and milk. The simple notion of it made Dean's stomach growl as he wanted to get at some of those that were in the kitchen. By the time he entered in there, he got the last few donuts just like Totsuka as he was busy chomping away. Both hunter and Shinigami were finishing off the donuts as they were full from their late breakfast, for it was better late than never.

"Nothing beats the taste of Sagamihara Donuts," said Totsuka as he was sipping at his chocolate milk. "I can't believe that Totsuka would go there from far away just to get these."

"Perhaps he's not into the ones from Safeway," said Dean.

"It's ironic that both he and Samehada would go that far to get something that would put the rest of the donut makers to shame. By the way, I've been looking into the facts about the legendary gun that was made by Samuel Colt. It seems that the yellow-eyed has been going after it for a while now."

"But I thought that Daniel Elkins still has it."

"He does, but he'll never fork it over to anyone, not even his friends or family."

"I see..."

Dean had never expected the one that held sway over the Colt to keep it away from everything as it was also a double-edged sword. Still, the Colt needed to be found in order to stop the yellow-eyed demon once and for all as the fate of the world had rested on the shoulders of those that would stop him in his tracks...

###

Miss Mik was on her way to Lake Powell as she was about to make a detour to where she needed to go. On her way there, she noticed that several buzzards were circling around a dead coyote as it had been dead for only a few hours. The stench of death had worried Miss Mik as she even noticed a tinge of sulphur all over the dead coyote as if there was a demon at work. She had to warn Sam and Dean about this right away as she finally left the scene and went onward to where Totsuka's safe house was at. Even though it was hidden from the plain sight of demons, it was in the form of the old Anasazi granaries as there was also company parked in front of it. After discovering the Impala, along with Otoka's motorcycle, she knew where to go as she was about to pay everyone there a visit. When she got to the front door, she noticed that Sam answered it as he was aware of her presence in front of the safe house.

"Long time, no see, Miss Mik," he said.

"It's about time that I found this place," she answered.

"You noticed the Impala here, didn't you?"

"There had been trouble recently when I got here. Earlier, I saw some buzzards circling a dead coyote that had been exsanguinated for its blood."

"Exsanguinated? What are you talking about?"

"There's a demon following you around." She follows Sam inside of the safe house as they enter into the main hall. "By the way, have you heard of a young girl named Meg Masters?"

"Wait, I've seen her before when Dean and I had that argument over Dad back in Burkitsville, Indiana. She wanted me to go with her, but I couldn't abandon my older brother after what nearly happened to him with the scarecrow and all."

"That young woman that you ran into is nothing but trouble, Sam. Did you also know that she's been following you and keeping tabs on where you go?"

"No..." Sam was stunned as he heard such troubling news. "I take it that she's been a handful, but-"

"She's dangerous, that's all I know. If you ever run into her again, I suggest that you use extreme caution from now on."

Sam had officially taken Miss Mik's words into consideration as he now has a fleeting suspicion about Meg, but he even wonders if she was more mutual to him in the long run. The very image of her from Indiana was a stark reminder to him as he nearly abandoned Dean back there during the scarecrow incident. This time, he couldn't leave his older brother to the wolves after what happened back there, for it would also be a blessing for him to watch over him whenever the chips were down. Still, he had conflicting feelings about Meg as he even wonders if she was worth his time in such a daunting matter, but the time of the hunt had trumped all of his decisions altogether.

"Well, have you made your decision?" asked Miss Mik.

"I'll be cautious from now on," said Sam.

"Let's hope that you remain cautious because the yellow-eyed demon's minions aren't easy to fool in this crucial time to stop him once and for all."

"Then we shall be prepared for it..."

Sam was aware of Miss Mik's warnings as he now becomes more concerned in bringing down the yellow-eyed demon that terrorized everyone over the years, including killing his mother and Jessica. He wanted to make sure that no one else should be victimized by that monster as he vowed to stop him in his tracks, regardless of the situation at hand...

###

Otoka and Samehada were in the living room as they were admiring the portrait above the fireplace. They thought highly of Samuel Colt as they viewed him as a man who became more than just a gunslinger and weaponsmith. The admiration of such an important man had a lot of perks as both Otoka and Samehada raised their glasses of chocolate milk and soymilk to his portrait, for he was also a man who was legendary into making such a mystical weapon that would be crucial against the fight against Azazel in the long run.

"Well, old man, here's to you," said Samehada as he raised his glass of soymilk to the portrait.

"Dude, you always raise your glass to Old Man Colt," said Otoka.

"It's ironic that his weapon is nowhere to be found-"

"Except in the hands of Daniel Elkins," said Miss Mik as she was escorted by Sam.

"Old lady," said Otoka. "What brings you here?"

"Azazel's been searching for the Colt just like the rest of us, but we can't sit by and let him have his way, now can we?"

"That's something that we wanted to hear," said Samehada.

"Right now, my brother and I have been followed by Meg, but she doesn't know where this safe house is at present," said Sam

"That's because this safe house is demon-proof," said Otoka as he gave the thumbs up while standing next to the fireplace. "That chick that's following you will be in for a rude awakening if she doesn't back off from keeping tabs on you and your brother. Anyway, whenever the chips are down, I suggest that you go and visit the old man in the junkyard. He's got stuff for you and Dean whenever you find it because that's the place where Samehada and I go just to kick back."

Sam had a feeling that he would go and pay the old man in the junkyard a visit as there would also be a crucial time just to formulate a plan just to stop Azazel from obtaining the Colt. Still, there had to be more training and more time to be at the hunt as there would also be a time to be on one's guard in the end, but for now, it was all good for the time being...

To be continued...
