Chapter 14
Louann couldn't sleep that night. It wasn't that she didn't trust Bobby or anything but still…it felt weird. And after what happened to Wendy, sleep didn't exactly come easy. She quickly found her way to the kitchen and sat down on one of the chairs that faced outside of the window. It was a quiet night with the light of the moon hitting the salt that was placed around the window, making it seem like it had diamonds in it. She quickly snapped her head from the window and turned to look towards the stairs, where a noise was coming. Obviously someone was descending the stairs. She smiled when she saw that that someone was Dean
"Hey" she greeted and pulled her legs to her chin "What are you doing awake?"
Dean smirked "Funny, I was about to ask you the same question" he replied and sat down next to her "So…why you are not sleeping?"
She shrugged "Dunno…I just can't. You?"
"Dunno, I just can't" he repeated and that earned him a playful punch on his shoulder
"You are a jerk" she said shaking her head and smiling. Dean didn't say anything, he just kept staring her. He was afraid that if he blinked she would just disappear from him again. No, he wouldn't allow that "Dude!" Louann's voice startled him
"What?"
"You are creeping me out. You are not blinking"
"Oh" Dean said shrugged "So are you ready for tomorrow?" he said changing the subject. He also glanced at his clock "Make that, ready for today" he corrected as he realized that it was 4am in the morning
"Uh yeah I guess so" she said in caution "Is just that…"
"You are worried about the kids" Dean finished her sentence and she nodded "Don't worry they are going to be safe here. Bobby is like…the best! Sometimes…when he is not making us clean his damn house" he mumbled the last part and frowned "…jerk"
"Shhh…he might hear you" Louann said
"Nah the old man is sleeping" Dean reassured her "Say, you don't have to come with me and Sammy if you don't want to" Dean said and he saw his twin setting her feet on the ground. With one quick motion she slapped the back of his head, hard 'Whoa...headache' Louann thought
"HEY! What was that for?" Dean whined while rubbing the back of his head and Louann rolled her eyes "For saying stupid things! Of course I want to come with you!" she said and Dean gave a light smile "Good to know, man you hit hard"
"Eh you'll get used to" she said grinning "Oh that reminds me. I will follow you and Sam on one condition" she said seriously
"What?"
"I am not hunting"
"I don't get it…you don't want to hunt?" Dean asked surprised
"Dean…is just that" she started and took a deep breath "I am 26 years old. It's too late for me to go and learn how to hunt monsters. You and Sam grew up in this life so it's natural for you. I don't want to go and play the badass hunter and get us killed. I will help with the research and stuff but when it comes the time to shoot the monster…count me out" she finished and looked at her brother's disappointed face "I'm sorry" she added
Dean stared at her "What for?"
"For being a coward" she said and lowered her head. Dean scooted closer and lifted her chin with his finger "You are not a coward. You are just being logical. This job is…hard. It can change you. I don't want this happening to you" he said making his twin smile "But…I have a condition of my own"
"What condition?"
"You are going to let me and Sam teach you the basic stuff. Just enough that if needed you can defend yourself. Ok?"
She sighed "Ok"
"Awesome! Now let's get some sleep" Dean said grinning
*in the morning*
"NOOO! Please don't leave!" little Shawn cried when he saw Louann and her brothers getting ready to leave
"Oh sweetie" Louann said and kneeled in front of the child "It's only for a few days, I promise! Ok? I want to be strong for me" she said and Shawn sniffed "You will come back?"
"I always come back sweetie! Don't worry! Now I want you to stay here and protect Bobby can you do it?" Louann asked and looked at Bobby who tried not to chuckle
Shawn nodded and walked towards Bobby "Don't worry Mr. Bobby, I'll protect you!" Shawn said and Bobby did chuckle "Good to know son. Now I feel safer" Bobby said making Shawn grin widely
Louann also smiled and went to hug William and Elena "Take care of each other ok? I promise I'll be back" she said and hugged them
"Will do" William replied "Just come back alive"
Louann winked at him "I plan too. Ellie keep them in line" she said and Elena laughed "I'll try" she replied and Louann lifted her duffel bag and approached the door. With one deep breath she opened the door and walked out followed closely by her brothers. But a hard slap on the back of his head made Dean yell in pain
"HEY! What the hell Bobby!"
"That was for calling me a jerk" Bobby said and Dean raised his eyebrows "You heard that? OH! BOBBY!" Dean yelled again as Bobby stepped on his foot
"And that was for calling me an old man, idjit"
Welcome to Lake Manitoc WI read the sign the Impala passed and Louann breathed in content. Dean had told her about a probable hunt. In Lake Manitoc, Wisconsin, last week Sophie Carlton, eighteen, walked into the lake and never walked out. Authorities dragged the water; nothing. Sophie Carlton was the third Lake Manitoc drowning this year. None of the other bodies were found either. Even Louann had to admit that this case was weird. The first thing they did after they reached their destination was to find a dinner to eat. Dean was being a manwhore as usual and Sam was quite snappy. Louann understood him. He wanted to find John so he could find out the thing that killed his girlfriend and mom. So after they ate they visited Will Carlton's, Sophie's father, house. Sam and Dean went as agents so she thought it was better to wait in the car for the time being. Half an hour later her brother's exited the house
"What happened?" she asked
"Not much. He didn't really tell us anything. Sophie practically grew up in the lake and she was one mean swimmer" Sam explained
"We are going to the police station to find out more. You game?" Dean asked and Louann thought about it "Sure why not"
*at the police station*
"Now, I'm sorry, but why does the Wildlife Service care about an accidental drowning?" Sherriff Jake Devin's asked "And sent all three of you to find out?"
"Ah…she's our trainee" Dean said "She just sits there and take notes. Now are you sure it was accidental?" Dean asked changing the subject. Sam glanced over at his sister who was leaning against the wall with a notepad in her hands
"Yeah Will Carlton saw something grab his sister" Sam continued and the sheriff shook his head in disbelief "Like what? Don't get me wrong, Will is like a son to me but he was traumatized, and sometimes the mind plays tricks. We dragged that entire lake. We even ran a sonar sweep, just to be sure, and there was nothing down there." He explained
"Yeah but you can't ignore the fact that that's the third missing body this year" Sam said
"I know. There were people from MY town! People I care about! Anyway all this…will come to an end" the sheriff said
"How come?" Dean asked and the sheriff stared at him
"The dam, of course. It's falling apart, and the feds won't give us the grant to repair it, so they've opened the spillway. In another six months, there won't be much of a lake. There won't be much of a town, either. But as Federal Wildlife, you already knew that" he said and send them a dirty look
"Of course" Sam and Dean answered at the same time. Sam was about to ask another question when the door opened and a young woman appeared
"Sorry! Am I interrupting? I can come back later" she said and Louann saw his twin's eyes sparkling. She shook her head
"Gentlemen this is my daughter Andrea. Hunny they are from the Federal Wildlife…about the lake" the sheriff said and the brother's stood up
"Oh" Andrea said
"I'm Dean" he said and extended his hand and they shook hands
"Nice to meet you Dean" Andrea said politely and Louann saw that he had no intention of introducing her and Sam "I am Louann and this is Sam. We are sorry to hear about the people in the town"
"Yes real tragedy" Andrea said and looked down "Good to meet you as well" she said and at that point Dean was about to say something but the two forms that stood behind Andrea stopped him. It was two boys. The one was young with red hair and the other one seemed older with dark, almost black hair
"Hey there, what's your name?" Dean asked the younger one, who hid behind Andrea
"His name is Lucas" the other kid said "He doesn't talk much"
"Milo!" Andrea warned the boy who couldn't have been more that 15 years old
"What? It's the truth mom" Milo said and crossed his arms over his chest and Andrea sighed deeply
"Excuse my son" she said "No problem" Louann said and gave the two kids a smile
"Well, if there's anything else I can do for you, please let me know" the sheriff said, letting the siblings now that it's time to leave
"Thanks. You know, now that you mentioned it, could you point us in the direction of a reasonably priced motel?" Dean asked
"Lakefront Motel. Go around the corner. It's about two blocks south" Andrea answered but apparently Dean wasn't satisfied
"Two—would you mind showing us?" he said and Andrea laughed "If it's not too much trouble?"
"Actually buddy it is. We have things to do and places to be. So next time…try using a better pickup line" Milo said smirking, making Dean speechless and Louann and Sam to try to stifle their laughs
"We'll be going now" Louann said "Thanks for the directions" she said and grabbed Dean from the hand and exited the police station, Sam following behind them laughing
While at their motel, Sam, Dean and Louann found out that one of the victims that drowned was actually Andrea's husband, Christopher and the youngest of the kids, Lucas witnessed what happened. So the only thing they could do was to go and try to talk to Lucas
As they guessed they found Andrea and the kids at the park. She was sitting on the bench watching Lucas and Milo. Lucas was sitting on a far away bench, coloring, while Milo was at the other side of the park, also on a bench reading a book
"Can we join you?" Sam asked and Andrea looks up to face them
"I'm here with my sons"
"We understand" Louann said "We just want to ask you a few questions"
Andrea sighed "Ok. What would you like to know?"
"While you ladies talk, I think I'm going to say hi to Lucas" Dean grinning and walked towards to where Lucas was sitting
"Tell your friend this whole Jerry Maguire thing is not gonna work on me" Andrea said and Louann sat down next to her "Don't worry that's not why he is doing it. You come to the park often?" she asked
"Yes. The kids love it here. Lucas, he likes to draw and Milo likes doing his homework"
"Homework huh?" Sam asked intrigued
"Yeah, it's funny but he concentrates more in the park, rather in the house"
"Uh I think I'll go and see if he wants any help" Sam said and not waiting for Andrea's answer he started walking towards Milo
Andrea just stared at Sam's back and then turned to look at Louann "Your friends are not pedos, are they?" she asked and Louann chuckled "Of course not. They just love kids and they can relate I guess with your sons"
"What do you mean?" Andrea asked
"We-uh…they lost their mother at a young age. It was a traumatic experience for them especially Dean. I guess they see themselves in your boys" Louann explained
"Oh now I feel bad"
"You didn't know"
"So you found out about Chris" Andrea said and Louann nodded "It's been very hard on us. Especially Lucas. He hasn't said a word, not even to me, not to Milo. Not since his dad's accident. He just draws…all the time"
*meanwhile*
Sam slowly walked towards the bench Milo was sitting. The boy was looking intensely at his little brother and the man from the police station, he couldn't remember his name
"May I join you?" Sam asked and Milo turned to look at him. He shrugged "Whatevs" he said and Sam sat down next to him. He twisted his head a little to read the title of the book he was reading
"You enjoy reading history?" Sam asked
"Dunno. I don't really have a choice" Milo replied and continued reading the book on American history
"Not a big fan of school huh?" Sam said and Milo sighed "Look. You obviously want something from me. So say it and stop the small talk. It's awkward!"
Sam smiled at the boy's honesty "You are right. I want to talk about your father's accident" Sam said and Milo with a sigh closed the book and put it next to him
"What would you like to know?"
"Uh, what do you think happened?" Sam asked
"He drowned. End of story"
"So you think it was really an accident?" Sam said and Milo stared at him "Of course! What else could it be?"
"Maybe your brother has told you something?"
Milo sighed "Lucas hasn't talked since dad died" he said and every now and then he was glancing at Dean who talked to Lucas. Sam noticed that "You really care about him" he stated
"Of course. He is my little brother" he said and Sam for a moment saw Dean in the little boys face "I'd do anything for him"
Sam smiled and looked over at his brother. Dean was always on his side no matter what. He practically raised him. And he did a pretty damn good job. Sam was brought back from his thoughts, when he head Milo's voice "What?"
"I said, do you have any brothers or sisters?" Milo asked and Sam decided to tell him the truth. He pointed at Dean "My brother" he pointed at Louann was still talking to Andrea "My sister"
"Oh…" Milo said "And you work together?" he said and Sam nodded "Wow you must be in each other's throats" he said and Sam laughed "You have that right buddy"
Milo smiled "At least you have the upper hand, being the older and all" he said and Sam blushed "Actually I'm the younger one"
"No way! But you are like a freakin giant!" Milo exclaimed and Sam chuckled "Yeah thanks, I guess"
"Does he take care of you?" Milo asked
"Yes. Yes he does. I never told him that but…I'm proud that he is my older brother. As I'm sure that Lucas is proud to have you as his brother" Sam said and Milo smiled
"Thank you. Hey wait a minute…does that mean that Lucas will be taller than me?" Milo asked
"Hmm, can't be sure. I did drink a lot of milk when I was a kid" Sam said and Milo's eyes widened. He quickly stood up and ran towards his mother yelling
"MOM! No more milk for Lucas!"
Tada! Hope the chapter didn't disappoint ya! I was supposed to have the whole episode written but it turned out to be VERY long! And I didn't know what to do. Sometimes longer isn't the better. So I stopped it here because I didn't want to tire you. But for future chapters…what would you like me to do? Cut the episode in half like I did now…or post the whole episode? Btw the next chapter will have Castiel and Gabriel in it! ;)
I'm looking forward to your comments and reviews! They mean everything to me :)
Till next chapter, take care!
