No exit
We headed to the roadhouse after our Andy and Weber incident. Ash spilt to Ellen on what we were looking for and he had to tell her everything about Sam and the demon, but not about me. Anyway that was a few days ago, we're head back to the roadhouse to let them know we're leaving town
"Hey, I know where were headed to next?" Dean said
"And where is that Dean-o" I chuckled
"Los Angeles, California" Dean answered
"What's in L.A.?" Sam asked
"Young girl's been kidnapped by an evil cult" Dean said
"Yeah? Girl got a name?" I asked
Smirking
"Katie Holmes" Dean remarked me and Sam laughed
"That's funny. And for you, so bitchy" Sam remarked
We heard the sound of glass breaking and shouting coming from the roadhouse
"Of course, on the other hand — catfight." Dean said
We entered cautiously
Ellen and Jo were having it out
"I am your mother, I don't have to be reasonable!" Ellen yelled
"You can't keep me here!" Jo yelled back
"Oh, don't you bet on that, sweetie!" Ellen yelled
"What are you going to do, are you going to chain me up in the basement?!" Jo said
"You know what, you've had worse ideas than that recently. Hey, you don't wanna stay, don't stay. Go back to school" Ellen yelled
"I didn't belong there! I was a freak with a knife collection" Jo countered
"Should I uh...should I do something" I whispered to Dean. I've never been in Cat fights i've been in fights with girls at school and they were knocked out within two minutes. Growing up in an almost all male life I wasn't familiar with this kind of fight. Growing up me and the boys would usually just kick the crap out of each other.
"No" Dean whispered back
"Yeah, and getting yourself killed on some dusty back road, that's where you belong?!" Ellen yelled
She turned and saw us
"Guys, bad time" she said
"Yes, ma'am" Sam said
"Yeah, we rarely drink before ten anyway" Dean said
"Wait. I wanna know what they think about this" Jo said
A mom, a dad, and two kids under three, all wearing bright yellow t-shirts that read "Nebraska is for Lovers" enter.
"I don't care what they think!" Ellen yelled
"Are you guys open?" The dad asked
"No!" Jo yelled
"Yes!" Ellen yelled back
"We'll just... check out the Arby's down the road" the dad said him and his family retreating quickly
"Yeah! What about Holly!" Jo yelled
"What about her!" Ellen yelled back
"She's sixteen and hunts!" Jo said
"Yeah, well that means nothing look at her family!" Ellen argued
"Hey" Dean said
"Sorry but its true" Ellen said, Dean just shrugged in acceptance
The phone rang and Ellen looked to Jo then went to pick it up
"Harvelle's. Yeah, Preacher" Ellen said
"Three weeks ago a girl disappears from a Philadelphia apartment" Jo said shoving a folder to Dean
"Take it, it won't bite" She said
"No, but your mom might" Dean said. She just pursed her lips. I sighed taking the folder and looking through it, Dean and Sam looked at it over my shoulder
"And this girl wasn't the first. Over the past eighty years six women have vanished. All from the same building, all young blondes. Only happens every decade or two so cops never eyeball the pattern. So we're either dealing with one very old serial killer, or —" She said
"Who put this together? Ash?" Dean asked
"I did it myself" She said
"Hmm" I said sort of impressed, the girl knows how to put a folder together, I don't think she'll be a bad hunter but there is two parts to hunting, getting the papers together. Then there's the actual hunting, and just because you can put a file together doesn't mean you can hunt.
"I gotta admit. We hit the road for a lot less" Sam said
"Good. You like the case so much, you take it" Ellen said
"Mom!" Jo yelled
"Joanna Beth, this family has lost enough. And I won't lose you too. I just won't" she said
We decided to take the case I mouthed an i'm sorry to Jo when we left, I would be pissed if someone took my case.
We made it Philly pretty quick. We parked outside the apartment building
"I feel kind of bad, snaking Jo's case" Sam said
"Yeah, maybe she put together a good file. But could you see her out here working a case? I don't think so, she doesn't look like she could handle it" I said honestly. But what am I talking about i'm a 16 year old who's been hunting practically half my life
We walked into the apartment. I picked the lock
We pulled out our EMFs and started a sweep
"You getting anything?" Dean asked
"No, not yet" Sam answered
"Hey whats this?" I asked their was black goo on the wall. I ran the meter over it and it buzzed like crazy
"What?" The boys asked walking over
"Holy crap" Dean said touching the goo
"That's ectoplasm. Well, I think I know what we're dealing with here. It's the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man" Dean said I chuckled. Sam rolled his eyes
"No way, you have to be a seriously pissed of spirit to make ectoplasm" I said. I've only seen it once before
"All right, let's find this badass before he snags any more girls" Dean said
We left the apartment to hear a women talking to the landlord, we recognized it as Jo
"It's so convenient" Jo said
"Yeah, it's a great building, fixed it up real nice. All the apartments come furnished, too" the landlord said
"It is so spacious. You know, my friend told me I absolutely have to come check it out, and I have to admit, she was right. You did a really good job with this place" she said. They rounded the corner
"What the hell are you doing here?" Dean asked
"There you are, honey. This is my boyfriend Dean and our friends Sam and Holland" Jo said grabbing Dean around the waist I was trying not to laugh,
"Good to meetcha. Quite a gal you've got here" the landlord said
"Oh yeah, she's a pistol" Dean said smacking her back
"So, did you already check out that apartment? The one for rent" Jo asked
"Yeah. Yes. Loved it. Heh. Great flow" Dean said
"How'd you get in?" The landlord asked
"It was open" I replied
"Now, Ed, um, when did the last tenant move out?" Jo asked
"Oh, about a month ago. Cut and run, too. Stick me for the rent" he said
"Well. Her loss, our gain! 'Cause if Dean loves it, it's good enough for me" She said
"Oh, sweetie" Dean said smacking her again
Jo pulled out a wad of cash, "we'll take it" she said
"I'll flip you for the sofa" Jo said
"Does your mother even know you're here?" Dean asked
"Told her I was going to Vegas" Jo answered
"You think she's gonna buy that?" I said
"I'm not an idiot. I got Ash to lay a credit card trail all the way to the casinos" she said I shrugged
"You know, you shouldn't lie to your mom. Shouldn't be here either" Dean said
"Well, I am. So untwist your boxers and deal with it" Jo said I scoffed
"Where'd you get all that money from, anyways?" Sam asked
"Working, at the Roadhouse" Jo answered
"Hunters don't tip that well" Sam said
"Well, they aren't that good at poker, either" she replied
Dean's phone rang. He answered it I heard Ellen in the other line
"Yeah" Dean said
"Is she with you?" Ellen asked
"Oh, hi Ellen" Dean said looking to Jo
"She left a note she's in Vegas. I don't believe it for a second" Ellen said
Dean held the phone back
"I'm telling her" Dean said. They got into a muttered argument
"Dean?" Ellen asked
"I haven't seen her" Dean answered Jo sat down relieved
"You sure about that?" She asked
"Yeah, I'm sure" Dean said
"Well, please. If she shows up, you'll drag her butt right back here, won't you?" Ellen asked
"Absolutely" Dean said sending Jo a pissed off smirk
"Okay. Thanks, honey" Ellen said hanging up
We started extensive and annoying research. Conor popped up next to me
"Boo" he said I jumped a little, everyone at the table turned to me
"Dozed off" I lied. "I'm gonna go use the bathroom" I said getting up. I walked in and closed the door
"Conor" I called he popped up I hit his shoulder
"Don't do that!" I yelled. "Jo doesn't know and that would be a hard one explaining" I stated
"Chill baby Winchester geez" He chuckled "i'll be invisible boy like always, you wont even know i'm here. But you're the spirits type,I can't always intervene and I have to let you do your job so.."
"Yeah yeah yeah, i'll watch my back. Anyway you can save me from the monster called research" I joked
"Is the research killing you?" He asked raising an eyebrow and smirking
"Yeah, give it a few hours" I said
I flushed the toilet so they'd think I actually went to the and bathroom walked back out
I returned to the table and continued research
"This place was built in 1924. It was originally a warehouse, converted into apartments a few months ago" Jo said spinning her knife
"Yeah? What was here before 1924" I sighed
"Nothing. Empty field" Jo said
"So, most likely scenario, someone died bloody in the building, and now he's back and raising hell" Sam said
"I already checked. In the past eighty two years, zero violent deaths. Unless you count a janitor who slipped on a wet floor" she said
"So, have you checked police reports, county death records..." Dean started
"Obituaries, mortuary reports and seven other sources. I know what I'm doing" Jo said
"think the jury's still out on that one. Could you put the knife down?" Dean asked annoyed
She did
"Okay! So, uh, it's something else, then. Maybe some kind of cursed object that brought a spirit with it" I said
"Well, we've got to scan the whole building. Everywhere we can get to, right?" Jo asked
"Right. So. You and me and Holly we'll take the top two floors" Dean said
"We'd move faster if we split up" Jo said
"Yeah Dean I can take the top, Sam can get the bottom, and you and Jo take the floors in between" I said
"Oh, this isn't negotiable" Dean said
We walked down a hallway with our meters
"So. You gonna buy me dinner?" Jo asked
"What are you talking about?" Dean asked
" just if you're gonna ride me this close it's only decent you buy me dinner" Jo said, Dean was following close behind her
"Oh, that's hilarious. You know, it's bad enough I lied to your mom, but if you think I'm letting you out of my sight... I don't know if you've noticed, but and Holly are kind of the spirit's type" Dean said
"Exactly" Jo said. Okay I have nothing against her but letting her be bait is so stupid she's never even hunted before
"You wanna be bait?" Dean said
"Quickest way to draw it out and you know it" Jo said
"Oh" Dean said
"What?" Jo asked
"I'm so regretting this," Dean said
"You know, I've had it up to here with your crap!" Jo said
"Excuse me?" Dean asked
"Your chauvinist crap. You think women can't do the job" she said, well this was awkward
I cleared my throat "women here Jo" I said
"Please, you're not even an adult yet" Jo said, okay yeah, now this bitch pissed me off
"I may be not be an adult yet, but I have killed more times than you will ever in your life time! I've seen things and been put through things that you can't even imagine in your worst nightmares! So stop being so damn arrogant!" I said
"Sweetheart, this ain't gender studies. Women can do the job fine. Amateurs can't. You have no experience. I'd rather put up my 16 year old sister for bait cause she, has a hell of a lot more experience than you ever will and she's better than over half the hunters that walk into your bar. What you do have is a bunch of half-baked romantic that some barflies put in your head" Dean said taking the attention off me before she says something and I have to kick her ass
"Now you sound like my mother"
Jo said
"Oh, and that's a bad thing? Because let me tell you..." Dean stopped
"What?" Jo says
"Forget it" Dean said
"No, you started this" Jo said
"Fine i'll tell her for you Jo, you've got options. No one in their right mind chooses this life" I said
"My dad started us this when I was so young... I wish I could do something else" Dean said
"You two love the job" she said
"Yeah, but if you haven't noticed we're a little twisted" I said
"You don't think I'm a little twisted too?" Jo said
"Jo, you've got a mother that worries about you. Who wants something more for you. Those are good things. You don't throw things like that away. Might be hard to find later" Dean said walking around her
We walked down the hall. I got a strange feeling from the wall. I stopped at a vent
"What?" Jo asked
"I think?" I said leaning down to the grate and running my meter over it, it went off
"Yahtzee" I chuckled
Dean walked over with a screwdriver, and removed the grate
"You smell that?" I asked
"What is that, a gas leak?" Jo asked
"No. Something else. I know it. I just can't put my finger on it" Dean said
There's something in there. I said I reached in and I felt something it felt like hair, oh no
I pulled it out and grimaced
"Somebody's keeping souvenirs" Dean said. I gasped in shock as I saw the ghost of the women who i'm guessing Is the owner of the hair i'm holding
She just stood there for a moment then she started screaming, loud
"Help me!" She screamed repeatedly
"Stop please!" She yelled followed by more screaming then she disappeared
"Holly" Dean said snapping his fingers in front of my face
"yeah, um sorry. We should go back to the room" I said putting the hair down and wiping my hands on my jeans
We explained everything to Sam
"Wow, um okay we have a lot more research to do" Sam said
"Yeah" I nodded
We researched all night. I finally had it when I face planted into a stack of papers.
Conor nudged my shoulder waking me up
I noticed Jo in Dean's bed and him on the couch. Sammy was at the other end of the table still researching
"S'mmy, we need to go to bed" I slurred tiredly
"I think you do kiddo" Sam chuckled
"It's late" I said standing up and heading to the bed I was sharing with Sam and passed out, I didn't even bother changing
Sam came in about an hour later
I woke up in the morning and walked into the kitchen, Sam left a note on the table saying he left for a coffee run, thank god coffee sounds amazing right now
Jo woke up, and walked over to the table. We both sat and started shuffling through papers
"Sam is getting coffee thank god" She sighed reading the note,
"I know, late night. I'm surprised Dean let you take the bed, normally he would just kick you off" I said
"I beat him to it" she smirked triumphantly
Dean stirred and got up from his awkward position groaning
"Morning, princess" Jo said
"Where's Sam?" Dean asked
"Coffee run" I replied
"Ugh. My back. How'd you sleep on that big soft bed?" He asked Jo
"I didn't. Just been going over everything" she joked
He looked down at her knife and pulled out a Bowie knife and handed it to her
"Here" Dean said
"What's this for?" Jo asked
"Work a hell of a lot better than that little pig-sticker you're twirling around" Dean said
She took it handing him hers
"W.A.H" Dean read the initials
"William Anthony Harvelle" Jo said
"I'm sorry. My mistake"
He took his knife back, sheathing it.
"What do you.. what do you remember about your dad? I mean, what's the first thing that pops into your head?" Jo asked, I looked at Dean expectantly he just shook his head
"Come on, tell us" Jo said
"I was ten and uh, he took me shooting for the first time. You know, bottles on a fence, that kind of thing. I bulls-eyed every one of 'em. He gave me this smile, like... I don't know" Dean said. I smirked that was Dean's reaction the first time he took me shooting because dad was to busy. It was a proud smile
"He must have been proud" Jo said, Dean nodded
"What about your dad?" I asked
"I was still in pigtails when my dad died, but I remember him coming home from a hunt. He'd burst through that door like, like Steve McQueen or something. And he'd sweep me up in his arms, and I'd breathe in that old leather jacket of his. And my mom, who was sour and pissed from the minute he left, she started smiling again. And we were... we were a family. You wanna know why I want to do the job? For him. It's my way of being close to him. Now tell me what's wrong with that" She asked
"Nothing" Dean replied
"What about you Holly, what do you do to remember?" Jo asked
"Well I just normally wait until Dean yells 'god dammit Holland!' Brings me straight back to dad time" I smirked
Dean and Jo laughed
Sam came walking through the door
"Where's the coffee?" I asked
"There are cops outside. Another girl disappeared" Sam said
"Shit" Dean sighed grabbing his jacket and walking out, Sam took out his laptop and started searching
"So i'm guessing the nice cup of caffeine I anticipated is out of the question" I sighed
"Sorry Holls" He chuckled
"Teresa Ellis, Apartment 2F. Boyfriend reported her missing around dawn" Dean said walking back in
"And her apartment?" Jo asked
"Cracks all over the plaster, walls, ceiling. There was ectoplasm, too" Dean said
"Well, between that and that tuft of hair I'd say Holly was right this sucker's coming from the walls" Sam said
"But who is it? Building's history is totally clean" Jo said
"Maybe were looking in the wrong place" I said grabbing the photo from earlier
"It's where this building was built. Take a look at the one next door. The windows" I said
"Bars" Jo said
"We're next door to a prison?" Dean asked
Jo called Ash and asked for assistance
"Thanks, Ash. And if you breathe a word of this to my mom... That's right. I will. With pliers" she said hanging up
"Okay. Moyamensing prison. Built in 1835, torn down in 1963. And get this. They used to execute people by hanging them in the empty field next door" Jo said
"Well, then, we need a list. All the people executed there" Sam said
"Ash is already on it" Jo said as if on cue Sam got emailed a very long list
"A hundred fifty seven names?" Sam sighed
"We've gotta narrow that down" Dean said
"Yeah" I said
"Or else we're gonna be digging up a hell of a lot of stiffs" Dean said
"Herman Webster Mudgett?" Sam said frowning
"Yeah?" Jo said
"Oh no way" I said I remember having to watch a long documentary on him in history class
"You've gotta be kiddin' me" Dean said
"Yep. Holmes was executed at Moyamensing, May 7, 1896" Sam said
"H.H. Holmes himself. Come on, I mean, what are the odds?" I asked
"Who is this guy?" Jo asked confused
"Seriously" I raised an eyebrow at her
"The term "multi-murderer." They coined it to describe Holmes. He was America's first serial killer, before anybody knew what a serial killer was" Dean explained
"he confessed to twenty seven murders, but some put the death toll at over a hundred" I answered
"And his victim flavor of choice? Pretty petite blondes" Dean said looking to me and Jo
" He, uh, he used chloroform to kill 'em" Dean said
"Which is what I smelled in the hallway last night" I said
"At his place, cops found human remains, bone fragments, and long locks of bloody blonde hair" Dean said
"Boy, you sure know how to pick 'em" I said to Jo. Sure I was a little nervous knowing who the ghost was now. I mean me and Jo are his preference
"Well, we just find the bones, salt 'em and burn 'em, right?" Jo asked
"Well, it's not that easy. His body is buried in town, but it's encased in a couple tons of concrete" Sam said
"Fantastic" I sighed unhappily
"What? Why?" Jo asked
" story goes that he didn't want anybody mutilating his corpse. 'Cause, you know, that's what he used to do" Dean said
"You know somethin'. We might have an even bigger problem than that" Sam said
"How does this get bigger?" Jo said
"Holmes built an apartment building in Chicago" Sam started
"the Murder Castle" I recalled
"Right The whole place was a death factory, they had, uh, trap doors, acid vats, quick line pits... he built these secret chambers inside the walls. He'd lock his victims in, keep them alive for days. Some he'd suffocate, others he'd let starve to death" Sam continued
"So Teresa could still be alive. She could be inside these walls" Jo said
"We need sledgehammers, crowbars. We've got to smash these walls, anywhere thick enough to hide a girl" Dean said
We got blueprints and mapped out a plan
Me Dean and Jo hit the walls on the top floor
"Okay. Call us after you check the southeast wall" I said hanging up the phone with Sam
"Sam's almost done with the first floor. Hasn't found jack squat either" I told Dean who was behind me, I was in lead
We came to a narrow shaft, I continued on Dean stopped behind me
"What is it?" Jo asked
"It's too narrow. Can't go any further" Dean said
"Let me see" Jo scoffed
She squeezed around Dean as well
"Ugh. Shoulda cleaned the pipes" Dean sighed
"Dean" I complained "I didn't need to know that"
"What?" Jo asked
"I, uh, I wish the pipes were cleaner" Dean said
She shook her head going around him. "Its tight but me and Jo can fit in there" I observed
"You two are not going in there by yourselves" Dean said
"Hate to burst your bubble De but if you have a better idea, please share with the class" I said
He was silent
"Uh-huh" Jo said, me and Jo continued on. We made it pretty far in, my phone rang. It was Dean
"Where are you?" Dean asked
"On the north wall, you're on speaker" I replied. I found an air duct
"We're heading down some kind of air duct" I said
"No, no, no, no, stay up here" Dean said
"Look, we've gotta find this girl, don't we?" Jo said
"De we're fine" I said continuing on
"All right. I'm heading to you" Dean said. The air duct ended and we climbed out of it
We ended up in another small space. I got a familiar feeling and noticed ectoplasm coming from the walls
"Jo" I said
"Oh god" Jo replied
"What is it? Holly! Jo!" Dean yelled. I dropped my phone in too much of a hurry to pick it up
"Go go go run!" I yelled to Jo. We made it back to the air duct and started crawling through it. Someone grabbed my ankle and started dragging me back towards the space.
"Holly!" Jo screamed
"Go! Get outa here!" I yelled she looked hesitant "Jo now!" I yelled, she looked back one more time before leaving. I flipped myself over while being dragged and kicked him in the face a few times Until he let go.
I started to rapidly crawl through again. I almost made it out to the other side, but I got a cloth soaked with chloroform to the face. Ghosts and monsters I can fight, chloroform I can't. I slowly passed out
I came to in a box like thing, almost like a coffin . I looked up to see long scratches on the top. I ran my hand over them only to hear the sounds of women screaming.
I tried to push the top open but it was locked and made of a heavy wood
"Shit" I huffed
"Holly?" I heard Jo call out. I looked out the only open space it was a little
Rectangle. I looked around and saw about four other boxes
"Did he get you too?" I asked already knowing the answer
"I'm in this box like thing it's like a coffin" She sobbed "and there's scratches on the inside" she added
"I know, he stuck me in one too" I said
"What do we do?" She cried
"Well now we wait" I sighed
"Wait for what?" She said
"Sam and Dean, look Jo they're the best hunters I know and they'll find us. But we can't do anything now, we're stuck in boxes" I said
"Have you seen him yet?" I asked
"No" Jo replied.
"Fantastic" I sighed "okay Jo, if there is any way, if he takes you out of the box you run. Don't try to be a hero okay? Just go get Sam and Dean" I said
"Okay" she answered. Jo sounded scared, I mean hell i'm scared i'm just better at hiding it.
We heard a noise from Jo's side of the room
"Hello?" The voice said
"Is - is anybody there?" She asked
"Your name's Teresa?" Jo asked
"Yes" she answered
"This won't make you feel better, but we're here to rescue you" I said
"Oh god. He's out there, he's gonna kill us!" Teresa freaked
"No, he won't. We have people on the way, they're looking for us, they'll find us" Jo said
Quiet footsteps fall nearby
"Oh god, it's him!" Teresa yelled
"Okay shhh! Just be quiet!" Jo yelled
Everything went silent. Suddenly a hand bursts through the side of the box grabbing my hair, I screamed and fought him but he tore a small chunk away
"Holly" Jo said
"Aw you son of a!" I said putting my hand where the dime sized chunk of hair was gone
"M'good Jo" I said
"Bastard just took my hair" I huffed in annoyance
Me and Jo were both kicking at our boxes trying to get out
"You're so pretty. So beautiful" I heard Holmes say
"Go to hell!" Jo yelled
"Jo you're knife!" I yelled then heard Holmes scream
"How do you like that? Pure iron, you creepy-ass son of a bitch!" Jo yelled.
I noticed in the opposite corner of my box, the wood had cracked. It was weaker there. I tried kicking up but not to the side.
I got in an extremely awkward position and started to kick. It seemed to be working so I kicked harder. I made a big enough hole to crawl out of feet first
"Holly?" Jo said
"I'm almost out" I replied as soon as I got out a pice of wood scraped my healing bullet wound on my leg
"Agh!" I said
"What happened" Jo asked
"I'm out" I said. I half jogged over to teresa's box first and started picking the lock. It's sort of been a rule of mine to always carry bobby pins
"Is he gone?" Teresa asked terrified
"I don't know" I replied. He suddenly showed up behind me , Teresa screamed. Holmes grabbed my arm and placed a hand over my mouth
I screamed and struggled but it came out muffled
"Holly!" Jo screamed
"Shhh" Holmes said
I tired fighting him as he tried to drag me to another box
"Hey!" I heard Dean yell, on instinct I instantly dropped as Dean fired at Holmes with his gun. Holmes disappeared, well for now. I collapsed on the ground catching my breathe, Dean put a shot gun down next to me The boys ran over and started working on getting Jo and Teresa out.
"The-hell- took you so long?!" I asked
"Wasn't easy to find Holls" Sam said
"Yeah, or you two are just getting rusty" I joked standing up
"You all right?" Dean asked pulling Jo out
"Been better. Let's get the hell out of here before he comes back" Jo said
"Actually, I don't think you're leaving here just yet" Dean said
"What?" Me and Jo both asked
"Remember when I said you being bait was a bad plan? Now it's kind of the only one we got" Dean said
He turned to Sam who was helping a terrified Teresa out of her box
We came up with a plan to trap Holmes. We helped Teresa home then we got to work. We set up salt bags around the ceiling to form a circle where Jo would be sitting
Jo was sitting in the circle with her arms around her knees. Holmes appeared and got extremely close to her
"Now!" Dean yelled, Jo dove forward out of the circle as me sam and Dean all took out shots. The bags spilt in a perfect circle around Holmes just as planned
Holmes started screaming and panicking
"Scream all you want, you dick, but there's no way you're stepping over that salt!" Jo said
We got back up topside waiting for Dean, he said he had a plan so were just waiting for him by the opening of the sewer
"So? This job as glamorous as you thought it would be?" Sam asked Jo
"Well, except for all the pee-your-pants terror, yeah. Sure. But that Teresa girl's gonna live a life because of us. It's worth it, isn't it?" Jo asked
"Yeah it is" I replied
"Hey, what if somebody finds that sewer down there, or a storm washes the salt away?" Jo asked
"Both very fine points. Which is why we're waiting here" Sam said
"For wha-" I asked being cut off by a loud beeping. A cement truck is backing into the field
It stopped just over the sewer entrance
"For that" Sam said signaling Dean to stop the truck
Dean got out if the truck and helped Sam set up the cement mixer over the entrance
"You ripped off a cement truck?" Jo asked
"We'll give it back" I shrugged
"Well, that oughta keep him down there till hell freezes over" Dean said. We turned around and ran into Ellen, we were so dead
We gathered our things and got in the impala with out a word said. We headed back to the roadhouse to drop Ellen and Jo off
I was in the middle back seat in between Jo and Sam. Dean was driving and Ellen was in the passenger seat. Jo glanced around nervously
"Boy, you, you really weren't kidding about flying out, were you?" Dean said trying to break the silence
Ellen gave no reaction, the three of us shared a look
"How about we listen to some music?" Dean said turning on the radio. Cold as ice ironically came on. Ellen quickly turned it off
We all shared a look again, Dean looked back to us for assistance but we remained silent
"This is gonna be a long drive" Dean sighed, and it was. We made it to the roadhouse by morning
Ellen practically drug Jo in by her elbow, we followed
"Ellen? This is my fault. Okay? I lied to you and I'm sorry. But Jo did good out there, I think her dad would be proud" Dean tried to defend
"Don't you dare say that. Not you. I need a moment with my daughter. Alone" Ellen said
We went outside and leaned against the impala waiting. Jo came out and just gave us an angry glare and kept walking
"That bad, huh?" Dean asked following
"Not right now" Jo said
"What happened? Hey, talk to me" Dean said grabbing her arm
"Get off me!" Jo yelled, Dean stepped back shocked
"Sorry. See you around" he said turning to leave
"Dean. It turns out my dad had a partner on his last hunt. Funny, he usually worked alone; this guy did too, but... I guess my father figured he could trust him. Mistake. Guy screwed up, got my dad killed" Jo said
"What does this have to do with—" Dean started
"It was your guys's father, Dean" she said
"What?" I asked confused
"Why do you think John never came back? Never told you about us? Because he couldn't look my mom in the eye after that, that's why" Jo said
"Jo" Sam started
"Just... just get out of here. Please, just leave" she said walking off
We got in the car, Dean looked guilty, I don't know why. We're not the ones that got Jo's dad killed I mean I probably wasn't even walking yet
We drove in pure silence, Conor popped up next to me but had no snarky remarks or comments. I'm pretty sure he heard everything, he just stayed silent.
