"Thanks again Jody for taking these guys in," Sam said as he carried Lucy's bag of clothes in.
"It's no problem at all. Hey Lucy, you don't remember me do you?" Jody said.
"Vaguely. But it's nice to see you grandma," Lucy said, hugging Jody.
"Hey Jody!" Mari said with a big smile, hugging her as soon as Lucy let go.
"Mari, it's been too long. How've you been holding up?"
"As good as anyone I guess. Lucy's thirteen now so you know what that means."
"Mom you act like I'm some horrible angsty teen," Lucy said, plopping down on the couch with Sam.
"I'm only kidding."
"So I've only got one guest room," Jody started.
"I'm fine with the coach, thank you," Kevin said.
"And I do not require sleep," Abigail added.
"And Lucy and I are kinda close, so we can share a bed," Mari said.
"See it all worked out perfectly. Thanks again Jody, we owe you," Dean said.
"You owe me nothing. Now this trip isn't dangerous or anything, right?" Jody said.
"Nah, just some recon. Well we're gonna get going. We'll call when we're heading back," Dean said as he and Sam left.
"Be safe!" Jody called after them.
"Alright so what's the real deal with this case?" Jody asked once she closed the door.
"How did she know that it's not an ordinary case?" Abigail asked Mari.
"Please, a mother can always see through lies."
"They think they've found the demon queen. And I'm gonna follow them there," Mari answered with her usual mischievous grin.
