Chapter 36 Never a doubt.
Dean and Jade made it back to the boys room. Sam went to get another DOUBLE room for him and Lisa. Neither really want to sleep in the same room as Dean and Jade. Sam came back in with the key. "I say we get this shit over with." Dean said. Sam nodded. "I will get everything ready." Lisa grabbed her bag and the room key. "I am going to put my stuff up. I will be right back." she said. She wasn't gone maybe 20 minutes and they were ready to summons Crowley. Sam lit the match. "We ready?" he asked. They all nodded and he threw the match in the bowl. "Why do you think I am at your beckin call?" he asked. They all turned to him standing behind them. He looked at Jade and smiled. "I'm not talking about you Princess." He looked at Lisa and smiled. "And you brought a friend. Nice." Jade rolled her eyes. "Look, we want the details on this job you need done." Dean said as he sat at the table. Crowley sat across from him and Sam. The girls stood behind Crowley. "Jobs. Not just one. There is several." Crowley said. Dean rolled his eyes. "What are they?" Crowley smiled. "Well, I am looking for something. I need a few creatures to help me find it." He pointed to Sam and Dean. "You two are going to bring me the creatures. Aim high on the food chain. They have more info." Dean squinted his eyes and looked at Crowley. "You want us to hunt for you?" he asked. Crowley snapped his fingers, "Bingo. You bring me what I want, I snap my fingers, Sam gets his soul back." he said smiling. Dean tilted his head and looked at him. "You know where Sam's soul is?" he asked. "Yes." Dean looked at Jade. She stood stiff, jaw clenched. Dean rubbed his hand over his face and shook his head. "No, I won't do it. I am not going to hunt demons, or vamps, just for you to torture." Crowley smiled. "Why? It's not like you haven't done it yourself." he said giving Dean a knowing look. Dean shook his head. "No, I will find another way." Sam huffed. "Dean, this is our only option." Dean looked at Sam, " No Sam. We are not doing it." Crowley smiled. "I already have a job lined up. Easy, werewolf." Dean put his arms on the table and looked at Crowley. "I'm gonna say this once. You can take your job and cram it up your ass." Sam sit back in the chair and rolled his eyes. Lisa was on pins and needles, but keep her no bull shit face. Jade was relived. She knew Crowley would get them into some weird shit. Crowley smiled. "Is that anyway to talk to your boss?" Dean's voice raised. "Your not my boss, dickhead." Crowley looked at Dean. He could tell there was no breaking him. He looked at Sam. "You heard him. We are not interested." Crowley looked between the two of them. "Last chance." he said. Dean wiped his hand over his mouth. "No. I've done some shady shit in my time. But I am not doing this." he said pointing at Crowley. Crowley smile, "Suit yourself, you arrogant thug." Crowley said and then he was gone.
They were all quiet for a few minutes as Dean paced. Sam looked at him. "Dean." Dean grabbed his keys and pointed at Sam. "No, Sam. We are not working for another demon." They watched as he walked out the door. Jade looked at Sam. "I knew it was going to be a fuck up situation." Sam stood. "I will go talk to him." After he left, Lisa looked at Jade. "He is one scary bastard." Jade smirked. "You don't know the half of it." Lisa stood and stretched. "I am going to bed. I am beat." Jade smiled as Lisa walked out the door. She laid back on the bed and sighed. She could see the disappointment on Dean's face as he walked out. He thought this would be it. It kinda was. But she knew he would be able to hunt creatures just to turn them over to Crowley. He was better than that. But what she really wanted to know was what Crowley was looking for. She called Lexie and filled her in. "What the hell could he be looking for?" Lexie asked. "I don't know. And why would he need high ranking demons, and other shit to get to it?" Jade asked. "I will look into it. See what I can find out. Ya'll be careful tomorrow." she said. Jade sit up on the bed. "Ok, kiss Bentley for me. I guess we will be home after this." "Sounds good. See ya then." Lexie said then hung up.
Jade laid her phone on the bed and took her hair down. "I love your hair down." she heard. She jumped and stood to see Crowley standing at the foot of the bed. She swallowed hard. "What are you doing here? We've already told you no." He smiled at sat in the chair. "Dean told me no. And he didn't listen to the consequences." Jade folded her arms on her chest. "What the hell are you talking about?" she asked. He tapped his finger on the table. "Dean and Sam may not do this. But you and the other Princesses are." Jade looked at him. "Like hell we are." He laughed. "Do you like having Dean around? I mean, you two do have earth shaking sex. Trust me, we feel it." he said as he wiggled his eyebrows. She didn't know what to say. He propped his feet on the table and put his hands behind his head. "Look, here's the deal. You girls are going to do this, or not only will I lock Sam's soul so far away. I will send both of them back to hell. And I can guarantee you won't get their ass out. I can do it with a snap of my fingers. Never see them again." She smirked. "I could blow your ass to a million pieces." He smiled. "Not anymore. I have juiced up some." Her nose flared and her hand trembled. She was pissed. She held her hands up. Nothing. She lat her hands fall to her side as he laughed. "So, what is it going to be Princess. My job or lover boy?" Jade looked away as the tears filled her eyes. Dean was going to kill her. But she couldn't let him go back to hell. Him or Sam either one. She looked at him as tears rolled down her face. Face clenched and hands trembling, she nodded. He raised his eyebrow, "Is that a yes?" he asked. She glared at him, still crying. "Yes. How many do you want?" Crowley stood and pulled at news paper from his coat. "You bag me a love alpha, you get Sam's soul. This is all the information you need." Then he was gone.
Sam found Dean at the diner down the street. He sat in the booth across from him. Dean looked up at him as he ate his burger. "I'm sorry, Sam. I can't do this." Sam looked out the window. "I know. But what are we going to do?" Dean shook his head. "I don't know. But I do know, demons bone you every time." Sam looked back out the window. "We can't just throw it out the window. Keep it as an option is all I'm saying." Dean shook his head. "I'm not punching a demon's clock, Sam." Sam looked at him and nodded. Then his phone rang. Sam looked at the phone as he stood. "Lexie, I need to take this." Dean nodded as Sam walked out. "Hey."
Lexie: "You busy?"
Sam leaned on the Impala. "No, just talking to Dean."
Lexie: "Yeah, I just talk to Jade. So, no go on the Crowley?"
Sam: "No. Dean wants no part of. He is probably right."Lexie: "I can't blame him. You spend your whole life fighting demons, it's kinda hard to play with them." she said before she realized that is what Sam done with Ruby. She quickly changed the subject. "When you get through with the thing tomorrow night, are you coming by?"
Sam smiled: "I was planning on it. Did you change your mind?"Lexie: "No, I'm kinda tired of being her by myself."
Sam: "I will be there as soon as we are done."
Lexie smiled. "Ok, be careful." Sam: "You too."
Dean walked out carrying a bag. "I got the girls something. Let's go. I am beat." They got in the car and headed back.
Jade jumped when she heard a tap on the door. She looked out the peep hole and let out a sigh of relief. Lisa smiled as Jade opened the door. "I forgot my phone." she said as she walked in the door. But stopped when she saw how white in the face Jade was. "What is it?" she asked. Jade sat at the table. He head resting in her hand that was propped on the table. "I got a personal visit from Crowley." Lisa sat at the table. "About?" Jade looked at her. "Either me, you and Lexie bring him a alpha, or he sends Dean and Sam back to hell." Lisa looked at her shocked. "Can he do that?" Jade smirked. "Apparently he can. I tried to blow him up, nothing." Lisa sat looking at Jade. "So, what are we going to do?" Jade felt the tears fall down her face. "I can't let them go back. They don't deserve that." she wiped the tears from her face. Lisa grabbed her hand. "Then it is settled. We do it." Jade looked at her. "I hate to drag you into this." she said. Lisa smiled and looked at her. "You didn't. I can walk away. It is just a lot more fun kicking ass with you." Jade smiled as she wiped the tears from her face. Lisa looked at her as they heard the Impala pull up. Jade looked at her panicked. "They can't know." she said as she went to the bathroom. Lisa nodded, grabbed her phone and walked out the door. When she got outside, Dean handed her a bag. "Burger and fries." he said. Lisa smiled. "Thank you." Sam held their door open as she pulled fries out of the bag.
"Hey, baby. I brought you something to eat." Dean yelled as he shut the door. Jade washed her face and walked out. "Good, I'm starving." she said as she sat at the table. He looked at her. "Are you ok?" he asked. She smiled and leaned to kiss him. "Yeah, I'm good." He kissed her and sat on the bed taking off his boots and t-shirt. He stood and pulled off his jeans. Then turned on the radio next to the bed as he laid on his back. Pulling the sheet to his hips. "Let me go" 3 doors down played. Jade sit with her back to the bed.
"One more kiss could be the best thing. One more lie could be the worse.
And all those thoughts are never resting. And your not something I deserve.
In my head there's only you now. This world falls on me.
In this world there's real and make believe. And this seems real to me."
Dean looked at her, he knew something was wrong. She was too quiet. "I like this song." he said. She nodded without looking back. "Me too." she said as she picked over her food.
"You love me but you don't know who I am. I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand.
You love me but you don't know who I am. So let me go. Let me go."
She turned off the light and walked to the other side of the bed. Sliding out of her pants. He held the sheet back for her to get in. She laid her head on his arm. She snuggled tight to him as he kissed her forehead.
"I dream ahead to what I hope for. And I turn my back on loving you.
How could this love be a good thing. I don't know what I'm going through.
In my head there's only you now. This world fall on me.
In this world there's real and make believe. And this seems real to me."
He laid his hand on his chest. She slid her hand to his and inter laced there fingers. He brought her hand to his lips and kissed her hand. She felt the tears fill her eyes again. Dean always told her, demons know what you weakness is. They play on it. He was right. Crowley knew exactly how to get to her. Dean. He was her weakness. Just like she was his. He would do what ever it took to keep her safe. And she was going to do what ever it took to keep him out of hell. Even if when he found out. He left and never looked back at her again. But in her mind, at least he would be safe. And if she had to lose him to keep him safe. Then she would have to deal with that when that time came.
"And no matter how hard I try, I can't escape these thinks inside I know. I know.
When all the pieces fall apart, you will be the only one who knows. Who knows."
Dean felt a tear fall on his arm. He let go of her hand and put his hand on her chin. He tilted her head. She looked in his hazel eyes. "What's wrong, baby?" he asked. She smiled. "I am just exhausted." she said. "Does it have anything to do with me telling Crowley no?" he asked. She softly ran her thumb across his lips. "No, you did the right thing." she said. He looked back at the ceiling. "I hope so. I just can't do this, Jade. It is the same as working for Lucifer. There has to be another way. And I am going to find it." he said. Man, did she love this man. She just hoped he knew how much. With out ever knowing what she was about to do. "Hey, instead of us going with you and Sam. I think we are going to head home. Wait for you." she said as she rubbed his chest. He turned his head to her. "Are you sure?" he asked. A few hours ago, they were fighting because she wouldn't to go home. Now she wanted to. "Yeah, Lexie is probably going crazy." Then he realized, she was terrified of Crowley. She just need to feel safe. He tilted her head back up to him. "Ok, I can deal with that." he said as he smiled at her. He pressed his lips to her. Softly massaging her lips. As their lips parted she looked in his eyes. "You know I love you, right?" she asked. He smiled. "Never a doubt." he said as she laid her head back on his arm. He rubbed her back. "I love you, Jade." She smiled as she closed her eyes.
