Chapter 36: Witchy Woman
"I found her," Toast stated as the team began to arrive in the Five-O bullpen.
"Who?" Danny asked.
"Your ghost's original from," Toast answered as he shuffled things around on the smart table. "She really did claim to be a witch and that's how I found her."
"Witches are real," Dean said. "Claiming to be one is an amateur move. She likely broadcast it outright and sceptics claim she was a crazy person."
"What kind of claims did you find?" Sam asked to end his brother's off topic banter.
"I found an old website," Toast offered. "And the computer found some online images. She wasn't in any of our databases so I wrote a program to scan the web for the ghost's face and it found her. Once I got a name, it was easier to pull records but they only go so far back. So I assume witches have aliases."
"Whole other lives, most of the time. We know a witch who was born way back in seventeenth century Scotland. She, to this day, doesn't look a day over thirty-five," Dean jumped in.
"That's impossible," Toast said sceptically.
"May I?" Sam asked and moved around the computer table.
"What do you want to do?" Danny asked.
"Make a phone call," Sam answered.
"Yeah, that's nothing," Toast said brought up the program and moved aside.
Sam punched a number into the system, one he pulled up from his phone, and an anxious silence filled the bullpen as they all listened to the ringing.
"Giant…" Rowena said unimpressed by the caller interrupting her life.
"Rowena, I'm surprised you answered," Sam said.
"I didn't recognize the number but the area code is Hawaii so I'm intrigued. What are you doing away from the mainland?" She asked haughtily. "And that does not look like a Men of Letters bunker," she commented on the backdrop behind him.
"Hey Ro! We're working on a big case with a big fancy police task force, all on the up and up, crazy right?" Dean bragged as he rushed around the table. "And we can't really call your son because it has to do with demons."
"And you know how much I love screwing with Fergus," She said and smiled.
"Exactly, and there is a witch, or a former witch, involved," Sam added. "And we're hoping you might be able help out."
"Who is Fergus?" Toast asked with confusion.
"Oh my sweet boy, Fergus is my son but he is more commonly know as the King of Hell these days," Rowena answered oozing all her charm.
"There is a lot of family drama there," Dean whispered.
"So, where are you hanging out these days? You look cold," Sam jumped in again.
"Samuel, you have no idea," she waxed overly dramatically. "I'm freezing in Rhode Island trying to hide from those filthy Men of Letters."
"What would it take for you to come out to Hawaii and help us?" Steve asked as he came into the video frame.
"Oh, well, for you handsome, I'll pack a bag right now," Rowena answered and bat her eyes.
"Rowena, this is Steve. Steve, this is our friend Rowena, she's from Scotland," Dean spoke in mocking tones but made the introduction and his point. "She looks damn good doesn't she."
"Thank you Dean," she said and smiled.
"Any time Rowena," he winked.
"But you know, Steven, it could take me some time to get there," She pointed out.
"Could the Angel fetch her?" Steve asked.
"The Angel is involved?" Rowena's tone changed to disgust. "Why am I not surprised?"
"He's more here to babysit our mother," Dean answered.
"Sounds like a crowd," she said and turned her nose up.
"You have no idea," Danny grumbled from off camera.
"Rowena we could really use your help and it's Hawaii. Are you really going to turn that down?" Dean asked. "I mean we could maybe do this over the phone of you would prefer to stay in Rhode Island for the season."
"Send the Angel," Rowena rolled her eyes. "But you owe me," she said and ended the call.
"That's a witch?" Steve asked.
"Not bad for over 400 years old right? The miracles that magic can preform," Dean said and laughed. "Someone pray for Castiel," he added.
"I'm already here," Cas said. "What do you need?" He asked and startled everyone. "My helicopter tour is about to start so make it quick."
"Can you go here and pick up Rowena and bring her back to us?" Sam asked and he held out his phone for the location that Rowena had texted to him.
"Why do you need her?" Cas asked suspiciously.
"Things are getting witchy," Dean answered.
"Fine," Cas said and disappeared.
