A/N: So I know this one is a bit short, but it's a filler and I needed it before the next chapter. But do not fear, this filler is one hell of a filler.
Three Weeks. Two simple words haunted Katie as her search continued. Dean only had three weeks left on his contract, and she wasn't any closer to getting him out of it. She sat in the basement of the church furiously searching and researching everything. She had hundreds of books about everything, he answer had to be down here. She started with Lilith. Who was this up and coming demon that was the latest star of Katie's dreams recently. Katie looked down at the book she was currently reading before picking it up and tossing it.
"Damnit" Katie yelled.
"You know you shouldn't swear in a church" Richie said startling Katie a bit.
"Well technically I'm not in a church, I'm under one so I think I'm safe" Katie replied.
"Still no luck I'm guessing?" Richie asked.
"What gave that away" Katie snapped sarcastically. She looked over and noticed Richie's hurt expression. " Look I'm sorry, I'm just tired and worried and I'm at the point where I don't know what to do, which is weird when I always have a plan" Katie said.
"Look I know this is something you probably do not want to hear" Richie started.
"Well how about not telling me then" Katie said.
"Let me finish. Now you may not want to hear this but you need to" Richie placed both his hands on Katie's shoulder and looked her right in the eye. "Maybe the reason you can't find a solution to Dean's problem, is because there isn't one. Maybe it's just meant to be" Katie stared back at her friend.
"Maybe my husband is meant to die?" Katie asked and Richie solemnly nodded a yes. " No, I will never believe it and you know why, because of your God. The one who you chose to serve chose me to protect them. They have a great destiny, I know this for a fact, and Dean's dying isn't in it"
"God works in mysterious ways, what if this is all a part of his plan" Richie remarked.
"So you're saying God wants Dean to die?" Katie asked angry.
"No, I'm saying that you can't fix what's out of your control" Richie says then points to the books scattered on the table. " You can read those books time and time again but the answer will be the same every time, you can save Dean" Katie looked at the man as if he betrayed her. She stepped back from him before shaking her head.
"I won't accept that" Katie snapped.
"You don't have to accept it, because like it or not in three weeks he's leaving" Richie replied. " I know this is a little harsh"
"A little?" Katie snapped.
"Look like I said you need to be rational before you kill yourself trying to do the undoable" Richie says.
"I have to say I'm surprised to hear you say this of all people" Katie says turning around and putting on her jacket. " I mean man of the cloth an all, shouldn't you be spouting bible quotes about me having faith and not giving up" Katie turned back to face the man and he could see the tears stained on her cheek.
"I am your friend and telling you what you want to hear will not help you in the long run. You can get angry with me all you want but deep in your heart you know I'm right" Richie replied.
"I'm sorry Richie but you're wrong" Katie said. "You see I can't believe that everything that has lead up to this point between me and Dean has been for nothing, we can't fight the good fight every single day saving as many lives as we have, and still get screwed in the end. How it that fair?"
"Don't you see" Richie yells. "None of its fair, the good guy doesn't always win in the end, its sucks but it is what is. You want go search under every stone for something you know isn't there, then by all means go ahead, but if you were smart you would spend these last couple of weeks with Dean before it's too late" Katie stares back at him not sure what to say at this point. Her phone starts ringing and she pulls it out of her pocket.
"Hello?" Katie answers.
"Hey it's me, Sam and I got a zombie case and I was wondering if you could possible join us" Dean said.
"Zombies huh?" Katie replies. "Why not, I'll be there soon" Katie hung up her phone and turned around only to see that Richie wasn't alone any more.
"What are you doing here?" Katie asked.
"I called him" Richie said and Katie turned to face him.
"Wait what?" Katie looked between the two men. "How could you call him?"
"He's a servant of the lord isn't he?" Gabe replied.
"Please do not tell me this whole time-"Katie looked back over at Richie. "How could you?"
"I was given a mission from God, of course I'm going to follow it" Richie replied.
"And what was that mission huh?" Katie asked.
"To keep you in line" Gabe said. "And it seems like you're not falling in, which is why I'm here."
"Really and what are you going to do?" Katie asked before Gabe grabbed her arm and she was no longer in the basement of the church, but she was in what looked like a jail cell. It was a very small room with a cot and toilet. Katie looked around before looking up at the angel. " Where are we?"
"This is going to be your new home for a while" Gabe replied.
"You're kidding me" Katie snapped. " You can't keep me here"
"I can and I am my dear" Gabe moved closer and Katie stepped back until she was stopped by a wall. " I've put up with your insolence and your lack of respect for too long and now I will not allow you to change what needs to happen"
"What are you talking about?" Katie eyed Gabe. "Dean- you mean Dean is supposed to die?" Katie shook her head. "No that's impossible"
"Believe what you will but you will not stop this from happening" Gabe replied, turning around.
"I don't understand if you were going to let him die, why bring me into their lives, why did you ask me to protect them when you knew I would fail?" Katie asked.
"Everyone has their part to play and that includes you" Gabe said. "You're going to stay here. Now you can try and use your powers all you want, but they won't work." Gabe notices the anger in Katie's face. "Look at it this way, at least now you'll have time to think about all the good times you and Dean had and you won't have to see him die"
"Gabe please I'm begging you do not do this" Katie pleaded with the angel. She couldn't be here, she had to save Dean.
"I'm sorry, I really am but this is how it has got to be" Gabe said before disappearing.
"Gabe!" Katie yelled. "Don't do this. Please!" She got no response just silence.
Hours later Richie's cell phone rang and he was reluctant to answer it when he saw who it was calling him.
"Hello?" Richie answer.
"Yeah Richie is Katie still there?" Dean asked.
"No, she left a while ago, said something about a big break, she said it may take a couple of days but she thinks it may help your situation" Richie replied.
"A big break?" Dean repeated. " Everyone's having one of those, First Sammy and his miracle live forever idea and now this. So she didn't tell you where she was going?"
"No I'm sorry, I'm sure she's alright where ever she is" Richie remarked.
"I don't know something just seems off, I mean a couple of days" Dean said. " Why didn't she tell me this?"
"Would you have let her go?" Richie asked.
"Honestly no, I mean times running fast now padre and I just want her here" Dean replied.
" I understand Dean" Richie said. " But we both know Katie and she's not gonna stop until she hits a wall and even then she's gonna try and break it down"
"I know, I know, look if you hear from her just tell her to call me ok" Dean replies.
"I'll be sure to do that Dean" Richie says before hanging up his phone. " Are you sure this is the right thing to do?" Richie asks turning to face Gabe.
"Yes, this is what must happen" Gabe replied before pointing a figure up to the ceiling. " And it's all coming from him. Don't worry he's thankful and proud of your servitude, and it won't go unnoticed" Richie smiled before turning and walking back to his office.
"What a gullible idiot" a voice says and Gabe turns around.
"What are you doing here?" Gabe asks.
"Just making sure everything is going as planned Gabriel"
"I don't need you checking up on me" Gabe growled stepping closer. " I told you I had this handled so let me handle it Zachariah." Zach put his hands up in surrender taking a step back.
"No need to get hostile brother." Zach says. " Just wanted to remind you how important this is-"
"I know what's at stake, now go" Gabe says. " You being here could draw too much unwanted attention"
"Oh please, everyone's up there running around like their heads cut off" Zach replied. " You just do what you need to do to get Dean dead got it?"
"Yes, now go" Gabe ordered and Zachariah was gone. Gabe turned and looked up at the statue of his brother hanging on a cross before shaking his head, " This has to be done" he says to himself before leaving.
"Gabe!" Katie yells at the top of her lungs. She falls to her knees and lets the tears flow freely down her cheeks. " Please" she whispers.
A/N: So were you surprised to find out Richie's working for Gabe? That came right out of left field right. So the next chapter is one I've been waiting for, I've been looking forward to writing it for so long and now its time. I can't wait and I hope you can either. But for right now tell me what you think of my little filler chapter.
