So sorry that I didn't update yesterday, I'm having a nasty case of writer's block.
Chapter 13: Captain Hook
"Okay, next up, the Hookman."
Sam shuddered. That didn't sound like a fun one.
"So, we can choose, we can already go there and try to predict exactly when Lori is going out with her boyfriend, which might work but tire us out, or we can wait for her asshole boyfriend to die."
Sam and Dean looked at eachother. Tough choice. They had chosen for saving people, but this was a special one.
"How much of an asshole is he?"
"I think that if the Hookman doesn't kill him, he's probably going to rape her."
They were a bit uncertain. What if they could save him? Sure, he was a rapist to be, but did he deserve to be killed?
"Do we still save people when he dies?"
Alice's look softened.
"Yes, we save a girl from dying, and a man from getting seriously injured."
Their faces contorted. Alice had to hold in a giggle. They looked to be in a thinking mode, but Dean's face was all scrunched up and Sam's eyebrows were almost in front of his eyes. Finally, Sam made a decision.
"We should still try to save him, like maybe wait on the location he's going to be killed, and then kill the Hookman."
Alice grimaced.
"That's going to be a bit of a problem, we have to kill him by melting Lori's silver necklace. It was his hook, but it was remelt into a silver cross."
"Then let's just steal the necklace."
Alice wanted to slap herself for not thinking about that.
"Dean, you're the best. I don't know how I didn't think of that."
He grinned at her, then pulled her in for a kiss.
"Don't worry, in my eyes, you're still really smart."
Sam groaned. In the beginning, he had been okay with their constant kissing, but it was starting to get annoying. He still liked them together though.
"Alright, when you two stop being all lovey dovey, I'll be in the car.
Dean suddenly had a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. The moment Sam got in the car, he whispered in Alice's ear:
"Let's give him a show."
Alice smiled. They twined their hands together and went outside. Right before they got in the car, they started a full make-out session. In the car, Sam groaned and turned away. He did not want to see that. Dean was his brother, and although he had only known Alice for about two months, but she already felt like a little sister to him. When he thought about it like that, this should feel like watching incest. Luckily, they were not related. That would be gross.
"Get in the car already!"
Alice and Dean laughed, but finally got in the car.
"So, where to?"
"Eastern Iowa."
They drove up to the university. The sun hadn't gone down yet, so they decided to wait and come up with a plan.
"Alright, so tomorrow's Sunday -Alice don't you dare call me Captain Obvious- so maybe we should just wait for Lori to go to church? And then we just steal the necklace."
"Not going to steal the necklace!", Dean exclaimed.
Alice sighed.
"I'll do it, maybe she'll trust me more because I'm a girl."
It was Sunday morning, they had just followed Lori to church, and Alice was now introducing herself to Lori.
"Hey, I'm Alice, I'm an exchange student."
"Oh really, that's nice! Where are you from?"
"Er, Florida?"
Her voice pitched at the end, and Lori got a bit suspicous.
"You don't look very tanned."
"I'm ginger, I dyed my hair."
This was an obvious lie, and Lori was having none of it.
"You're lying. Tell me the truth."
Alice looked at Dean nervously. He mouthed back something that looked like "Just tell the truth."
Alice took a deep breath. Okay, you can do this.
"Okay, so there's this story that's connected to your necklace, apparently some of Abraham Lincoln's dna was mixed with it, and I'm a science major and want to examine it."
So much for being honest. Apparently, Lori had noticed that too.
"Now the real truth please."
Dean and Sam decided that had been enough, and walked over to them.
"Look, we really need that necklace, okay? Please just trust us?"
Lori stepped away from them, looking a bit afraid.
"No! My dad gave this to me, and I don't trust you! Leave me alone!"
Well, that wasn't going to be easy.
