The Silver Queen Motel
May 15, 2006, 8 am
Dean and Nic returned to find Alex and Sam sitting on one of the beds watching TV, but not really seeming to be paying that much attention to the TV. Kris was on the other bed, seeming to be paying more attention to the TV. Alex was dressed now, as was Sam. Dressed with no idea where they were going. Nic and Dean sat down on the other bed without saying anything, but both took a glance at their siblings, exchanging a look.
After a few minutes Dean finally spoke first, "okay, does anyone have any ideas about where to go next with this?"
They all seemed to think, and Alex looked over at him, "maybe I could do some more looking online. See if anything new turns up."
Nic then glanced at everyone, "we need to go back to the tunnels."
"No way Nicki, I'm not going in there." Alex immediately responded, the fear back in her eyes. Kris shook her head also in quick agreement with her sister.
Nic stood up, "well then don't come. I'll go." She grabbed her car keys, ready to do it herself.
Dean and Sam both hopped up, and Dean stepped in front of her. "Whoa, wait. Think about this a second. We barely got out of there, you can't go in there alone."
"You shouldn't go there at all." Sam added.
"Why?" Nic got a little defensive sounding.
"Because it's a demon that you don't know how to kill or stop. We need to know more before you charge in there." Sam put a hand on her arm, hoping she would listen.
"No, it has to be done. We're not getting anywhere. There's something in those tunnels. It's hiding something, and I'm going to find out what it is." Nic picked up her phone, and slipped her knife back into her jeans.
Sam looked at Dean, hoping he'd back him up, but he could tell Dean was already considering going along for the ride. "I'll go with you then." Dean was already ready to follow Nic.
Sam looked over at Alex who seemed to be processing everything. She looked at him with a slightly pained expression, but then forced a crooked smile. "Fine, then I'm going too. I'm not going to let it break me." Alex stood up now sounding determined.
"I guess I'll go too then." Sam sighed, then caught Kris' eyes, she looked nervous, not ready to jump up and go, but not like she wanted to be left either. "Did you want to stay, or come?"
Nic looked over at Kris, she wasn't going to tell her sister not to come, but she wasn't going to tell her she had to come either. Kris seemed to ponder it a moment, she didn't really want to be alone, but she didn't want to go either. Those tunnels had been dark and scary. Kris didn't say anything, but she climbed off the bed and slipped on some shoes, she didn't want to be the only one waiting here.
