Angel's 5th
Case 5: "Brother' Where Art Thy Hands?"
Sammypov
"You ok there?"
I look to see she's rather nodding off a bit.
"Yep just tired is all."
"Same here."
"So what's the case?"
"Dean didn't tell you?"
"Fraid not. He seems a bit distracted lately. He just mentioned it involved a child."
I nod and try my best to focus on the road straight ahead as I talk.
"We need to send a spirit of a little girl where it belongs. She's stuck so to speak."
"Are you serious?"
I cock a brow her way.
"Unfortunately."
"Is she violent or what's the story?"
"She's been looking for her parents. She's confused sometimes they become confused and…"
Bella closes her eyes and shakes her head.
"We aren't going to hurt her are we?"
"Of course not just give her the push she needs Bell."
She nods but I can see how upset she is. Ugh this case might be a little rougher than I imagined.
"You can turn the radio on to whatever you want Bell hun I'm not as picky as Dean."
She laughs.
"That might help me stay awake actually."
She shakes her head laughing again as she cuts the radio on.
"Something Dean would hate…" She says.
"That's no lie." I say as Matchbox 20 "Meltdown" is playing.
She leans back as if to mock my brother. We can both agree there when it comes to Dean he's not much into the music that's more Bella and I's age. He's old school all the way.
I swallow back as she parts her hair placing it behind her ear. Lucky bastard I keep thinking as I look upon her. I swear he's totally unaware. I turn back to the road scolding myself for the thoughts I'm having. What the hell is wrong with me? I'd never hurt Dean like that he might not deserve her but he's my brother just the same. I wanted so badly to come clean to her about everything that we'd been hiding from her I felt like such a jerk. This girl deserved a better life hell better everything yet here she was being sucked in and once you get to deep there's no turning back…
I take in a breath and turn into a wafflehouse.
"You hungry Bell?"
"Sure I could eat I really need some coffee."
"Cool."
She smiles and damn… That smile. I break into one myself and walk behind her admirably as she enters the restuarant this would normally be the part where Dean normally smacks me in the back of the head.
We sit down with our coffee waiting for our food and I go over some case notes with her on this.
"That poor girl."
"Yep but we're going to help Bell hun we're not just about killing things sometimes it's about the simplest gestures."
She smiles warmly on this.
"Was this her?" She picks up a picture from my binder that was sticking out.
"Yep."
"What a cutie such a shame."
I nod in agreement looking to the blonde haired pigtailed girl.
"Why she can't be any older that 7 or 8 Sammy."
I press my lips together looking upon Bella's eyes as she looks to the picture. I shake my head my arms folded. So she does like kids? Then why the hell would she want to continue this? Surely she realizes hell I've warned myself. I say nothing though not wanting to start a fight, hurt her feelings or bring up Dean.
They bring our breakfast to the table and she leans over to grab a piece of fruit out of her plate. Her shirt lose enough to show me her light pink bra that nearly matched her skin a bit too well and I had to do a double take to see if she was even wearing a bra. Don't pull a Dean, Sam look away jerk.
"Not bad…" I roll my eyes as I look over to the side of her.
"Get away from her."
"What'd you say Sammy?"
"Nothing Bell hun. " I say as I look back over and the bastard is gone.
I grab at my temples.
"So what's to stop you now?" He whispers in my ear.
"Look at her Sam. Don't you want to eat her up? I know I do…"
I shake my head in thought.
"I'll be right back."
I head inside and wash off with some cold water. He mocks and laughs at me upon the mirror.
"Now I must say this is something. Just how honorable are you Sam are you so far gone you don't even care anymore?"
I close my eyes and grip the sink.
"You're not really here." I say and exit the bathroom.
"You ok?"
Bell asks as I sat back down.
"Yep just washing the sleep away."
She smiles and picks at her fruit some more.
"I hope poor Dean gets to feeling better. I know he's sick when he misses a case."
I give a simple nod. Last thing I wanted to do was lie to this girl. Obviously my brother took no shame in it but I however didn't care for it. I especially didn't like being dragged into his manipulative ways. Hell he'd done me this very way before many times thinking he's protecting my ass acting as if I've no right to know what's going on even though it's involving me! I hated Bella being dragged into his ways as well. It's like no matter what it's his way or nothing.

"Well what the heck? What time is it?" Charlie looks back and I welcome myself inside and sit down on the couch.
He narrows his eyes.
"Well why don't you come on in. What's with you Dean?"
"You…"
"Excuse me?"
"Oh come on you can lie to Bella all you want but you can't lie to me Charlie. So tell me what kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into?"
Charlie runs his hands through his hair.
"I don't know what to tell you Dean. I don't' quite get what the hell you're asking me son."
I grit my teeth.
"Who'd ya kiss pops? Huh? How's lips did ya have to smack to get yourself all into this big mess?"
Charlie shoots up looking to me
"What the hell is your problem Dean?"
"Don't you even try to pretend with me! Are you trying to get Bella killed?! HUH!"
"You best get the hell out of here before I fill you full of lead boy!"
"Not if I don't fill you full of it first Charlie. Now come on tell me what the hell is going on! Why are you trying to hightail it out of here? Why are you leaving a will on your daughter's desk of all things and why would you have us come down to visit when you were leaving shortly?"
He shakes his head looking to me in disbelief.
"Look Charlie I don't sugar coat things but you've put someone I greatly care about in danger making whatever kind of stupid deal you made! That pisses me off! You want to know the truth? HUH? You want to know what we deal with on a day to day basis? People like you the ones that think they can't make it through their pathetic lives without making some sort of deal with these jackasses. My brother and I are the ones that get to risk our lives cleaning up YOUR MESS! A mess that this time you've not only involved someone you love but that I love too! Haven't you any idea what you've done!"
Charlie looks to me and rather pale like as he sits upon his recliner.
"What the hell?" He says softly….
I sigh and kick back looking to Charlie.
"How bout some breakfast? Like old times? On me Charlie…"
"I'm about to leave town shortly."
"No you're not you're sticking around with me. Time to get to know one another going to be a long next few days if we even make it through tonight that is…"
Charlie looks to me shaking his head confused as hell.
"Look here's the deal for every question I ask and you answer you can ask me one…"
"Just who the hell is my daughter with?" He says looking to me as if I'm insane.
I grin a bit.
"I suppose you're about to find out whether we both like it or not. Now my turn…"
Sammypov
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
I turn to see the bastard licking on her cheek and neck.
"Sammy?!" Bella says jumping damn near out of her seat.
He winks at me.
"Damn she tastes so fucking good. Seriously you should have a lick you know you want to."
I look to him wide eyed. What the hell? I roll down the window.
"Bee… I saw a bee."
She narrows her eyes.
"Scared of a tiny bee Sammy?" She teases.
"I'm allergic.. I think…"
"You think you're allergic?"
"Ya um…"
I clear my throat. Idiot…
Bella about to reach over to turn on the radio when my cell rings.
"I'm Johnny Knoxville welcome to jackass!" The theme song to Jackass starts playing.
I close my eyes momentarily.
"Son of a bitch Dean…" I mutter as I see Bella laughing.
"What?!"
"Hey… Jackass."
"You really are a dick you know that?"
"Hmmm. So how's things?"
"Fine Dean we only left Forks a couple hours ago."
"Yeah and?"
I shake my head.
"How's my angel?"
"She's fine Dean."
"Is she? What's she wearing?"
Really must I suffer more than I am already? Dick…
"Nothing…"
"Wait… What did you say?"
"Dumbass. I'm not telling you what she is wearing you saw her just a couple hours ago you already know."
"Is that you tiger?" Bella calls out and he's laughing.
"Put her on the phone."
I hand Bella the phone.
"I'm wearing a white bikini… What the hell kind of question is that tiger?"
"A very observant one…" I hear him say on the other end.
"You don't sound so sick now…"
"Yeah I got some pepto…"
"You need to be lying down."
"I am I can talk and lay down."
"Was that a horn?! DEAN WINCHESTER ARE YOU LYING TO ME!"
Shit, you idiot Dean.
"It was the TV." He finally says.
"You don't have a TV what the hell are you up to? You're sick Dean you shouldn't be out running around get your ass back to bed."
"I will I just had to get something's. Chill out angel baby."
"I swear Dean…"
"Don't it's not nice."
"Kiss my ass."
"I'd love to."
Hell kiss it? I'd rather plow it.
I swallow back looking to him in the rearview mirror. I shake my head and close my eyes yet again trying to get him to go away.
"Ok love you too tiger." She hands the phone back.
"Hey…"
"You ok?"
"Yep."
"You better take care of her Sammy."
He appears again laughing and holding his gut. I take in a breath…
"You know I will."
"Later."
"Later bro."
"Couple more hours Bell hun."
She nods tiredly.
"Why don't you get some sleep I'll wake you once we're there."
"I'm ok Sammy."
"You look like you're about to pass out."
She shrugs but within a matter of minutes she's out. Making matters worse as about 10 to 15 minutes in she's leaning against my shoulder out like a damn brick. I shake my head on this and swallow hard. She's fallen asleep against me before and it was no big deal what the hell is this shit?
I'm fighting all these damn urges. I wanted to put my arm around her, look down that shirt that I remembered was so loosely fit, I wanted too…
Put your hand down her shirt or maybe down her pants? I wince at this.
"Do you ever stop?" I whisper to him as she's still out.
"Do you?"
"Man, knock it off. Leave her alone. Have some fucking respect."
"What like you do? Come on take a peek Sam…"
"Fuck you dude she's like my sister."
"Now, that's the funniest shit I've ever heard! Who thinks of their sister that way? Oh wait…" He laughs again.
"Just go away man. Leave her be."

Charlie sips at his coffee his hands shaking a little bit. Hell I've never seen this man scared of anything but as the time progresses and we sit in this café I'm picking at my bacon in wonder. He's growing more and more tense looking.
"Charlie… I can help you or at least try my damnest if you'd just come clean. I need to know everything."
"With all due respect son how the hell are you going to help me?"
"By doing what I do and I'm just going to need you to trust me. Your daughter trust in me now I need for you to try and do the same."
"Hell, are you even a real agent or cop any of that crap?"
I cock a brow.
"When I want to be."
"You know that it's ille…"
"Yeah, yeah it's not my first rodeo Charlie I've been doing this for years. My dad was a hunter, I'm a hunter, my brother's a hunter, my uncle and now…" I stop myself before I let that slip.
I need him focused on this right now last thing either of us needs is him worrying about Bella at the moment…
"A hunter just what the heck is that supposed to mean?"
"You'll be learning soon enough. I could go on and on for hours Charlie about what it is we do but seeing it for yourself well that's sure to come quick." I look to the skies and notice it's grown even darker.
"I think it's my turn now…"
He looks to me tilting his head.
"When did you make the deal Charlie? Like exact year, date, time?"
He shakes his head and sighs.
"Ten years ago, this very month of November and this particular day, the time was around 11: 20 pm."
I look to my watch.
"That buys us a little time I'm afraid not long enough to find the demon you made the deal with though which could prove to be a problem."
"Say I'm buying all this hunter crap… how the hell would you be able to stop this?"
I smile and lean back.
"Gotta kill the demon you made the deal with."
"Are you insane?"
"Now if I had a dollar for everytime…" I hint and sigh.
"Why'd you do it Charlie?"
He shakes his head.
"What was it? A promotion? Money?"
"Bella…" He says in a way that strikes a chord within me.
I swallow back and he's got my full attention now.
"Did you just say Bella?"
He nods the man looking completely broken. He clears his throat looking out the window.
"She was 10 years old when Renee and I found out she'd been diagnosed with cancer."
My heart fucking drops to my damn ankles as I listen.
"Leukemia."
He sips at his coffee nodding.
"Bella never told me about that."
"That's because she never knew and I don't ever want her to know."
"God Charlie…"
He sighs in thought.
"I'd just found out a few days ago when the reports came back in. I'd plenty to drink that night and couldn't stand to be in the house. Renee had her during that time and…" He takes in another breath and I can tell it's to keep from flat out losing it.
"Needless to say I ran into this red eyed man and made a deal. He offered me an offer I felt I couldn't refuse. Bella's health for my soul he gave me 10 years."
What I didn't understand is if Bella's always had this angel blood so to speak within her how come she ended up with cancer or why wouldn't she just end up healing herself? That was a question I'd have to call to Cas for later. I doubt Charlie had a clue about that.
"So yeah son I sold my soul to the fucking devil because my little girl's life meant more to me than my own and I'd do it again in a heartbeat."
I shake my head on this. I understood why he did it now but he seriously needed to be set straight on the danger this could have caused her anyway. That was to rid of the fucking cancer they'd have no issue taking her now if she so willing put herself in pops place the idea sickened me beyond belief not only that but whether she did or not those fucking hellhounds could rip her apart! What people don't realize is there's always a loop hole to something and what I wanted to know was why this cross demon chose Charlie? What did they want with his soul or was there something I was missing?
