Chapter Thirty-Four
Third Person POV
Crowley felt his confidence grow when he heard two doors slam outside and Markus glanced to the door. "You brought back up?" Markus asked, his voice disbelieving and devoid of the humor that was there moments before. "Technically, I didn't bring them. They just followed." Crowley grinned, slowly inching his way towards the other two demons. Markus glared at Crowley and then to the doors of the church when they burst open.
"You could've at least waited for us, damn it." Dean said angrily as they walked through the now broken door. "Was in a bit of hurry, squirrel." Crowley retorted, not liking the older winchester's attitude. "You brought the Winchesters as your backup?" Markus asked, still not believing what he was seeing. "You got an issue with that?" Sam asked, holding a knife in his hand.
"You're damn right I've got an issue with that! Do have any idea how much trouble you've cause us? Another reason why you don't deserve to be the King of Hell. You're working with the enemy." Markus confirmed, a mischievous grin coming across his face. Crowley's eyes narrowed and his eyes flashed red. "Don't you dare criticize me for consulting two hunters to hunt down the bloody peasant who kidnapped my mate." Crowley growled, growing impatient.
Sam and Dean exchanged glances before Dean reached into his coat pocket and pulled something out, hiding it in his hand before anyone could see what it was. Dean muttered something to Sam before stepping away from the younger hunter and a little closer to Crowley. "It's not like we're doing this for free. He's offering us something for our...services." Dean said, stoping when he was a few feet away from Crowley.
Markus eyed the older hunter wearily, but didn't think too much of the movement. "What did he offer you?" Markus asked curiously, his eyes narrowing slightly in question. "Dick Roman." Sam answered, glancing between the demon and the unconscious girl at his feet. "That filth? Really?" Markus asked with a chuckle and Dean took the opportunity to rush forward, taking what was in his hand and splashing it on Markus.
Markus cried out and stepped back from the group while Sam rushed forward and collected the girl before backing towards the door. "Get her out of here, Sammy." Dean called, reaching into his jacket again and pulling out Ruby's knife. Sam glanced at his brother once more before picking Makayla up and taking her outside and into the Impala. The three left in the building heard the car start up and speed down the street, getting as far away from the church as possible without leaving town completely.
There was a slight flash of panic in Markus' eyes, but the younger demon quickly hid it. "I warned you, Crowley. This isn't going to end well if you put up a fight." Markus tried to threaten, but his voice betrayed him.
All three jumped and looked to the door when there was a loud crash outside. They were all silent as they heard footsteps coming up the cement steps. The doors burst open again, but this time, it was Dean's turn to be surprised as well. "Who started the party without me?" Gabriel asked, strolling into the church. Markus spun to Crowley and sneered. "An angel too? You're just all over the place, traitor." he said, his voice becoming confident again.
Crowley knew exactly what he was thinking. If the other demons knew he was working with an angel for no person gain, they'd loose their respect for him and would try to rebel. Crowley grinned and fixed his tie in a relaxed manner. "I wasn't the one who asked for the angel's help. He volunteered to find you and have his own revenge." Crowley stated with a grin. Markus looked confused for a second and then realization smacked him in the face.
"Her cousin." was all he could mutter and fear was evident in his voice. Markus realized her was outnumbered and went to pop out, but realized her couldn't. "What?" he asked, looking around confused. Gabriel smirked and leaned against the doorway. "Sorry, bud, but you're not going anywhere." he said, his body language relaxed, but his eyes were hard and unforgiving.

Dean shoved Markus down in a chair and stepped out of the red paint, glancing to Crowley. "You wanna take this over? I mean, this is your gig."
Crowley looked to the demon inside the trap and smirked. "No, squirrel. I think I'll let feathers take care of this one." Crowley said, stepping away from the paint to make sure he didn't end up inside the annoying trap. Dean nodded and motioned for the angel to take over.
Crowley was surprised at how sadistic the angel could truly be. He wasn't sure how long they were in the church, but it wasn't until the sun had been down for a while when they deemed the demon didn't have any information they needed. Gabriel made the request that he be the one to kill the demon and Crowley agreed, knowing that if he did it, his meat suite would end up mangled. He didn't want to have the image of her dead cousin in his mind when he went to collect Makayla.
Dean and Crowley waited outside while Gabriel took care of Markus. There was a white flash and then Gabriel came out of the church carrying Charlie's body. "What should we do with him?" Gabriel asked, causing Dean to look between the two confused. "Take him to the old witch and have him burned. Makayla wouldn't want to risk the chance of his body being used again." Crowley answered, his voice a little somber.
Gabriel nodded and was then gone. Crowley turned back to the older Winchester and raised an eyebrow. "Do I wanna know?" Dean asked. Crowley only grinned slightly and snapped his fingers, taking both of them to the hotel Sam was at with Makayla.
A/N: Sadly, the sequel is coming to a quick end. I'd love to keep it going, but I don't think I can and I'd probably start to loose a lot of you. But, good news! I'm still planning on doing one-shots for this! If you want one written, put your request in a review or PM me and I'll get it written. No guarantee that it'll be up within the day you send it (maybe it it's simple enough), but I'll get it up as soon as possible. Like I've said before, it can be literally anything. Doesn't have to follow cannon or even the plot I've created. ANYTHING GOES! So, that being said, let me know what you guys want to see and I'll write it up. Don't forget to review! I've been getting less and less reviews. I don't want to loose anyone! I'd love to get this story to at least 100 reviews. That would be fantastic!
