Chapter 35
The girls were ready to go. They walked into the kitchen where everyone else was filling Cas in on what the plan was. They had on their jeans and Nike's. Jade's t-shirt read, "Southern girls play like the boys, love like an angel and know their way around a carburetor." Jade walked to the door and everyone else followed. The girls rode in the Impala with the boys. Ellen, Bobby, Cas and Jo rode in Bobby's car. As usual the place was packed. Ellen, Bobby and Jo walked over to the Impala, "Wow, it is warm here." Ellen said. Bobby agreed, "Yeah, we went from 30 degrees at night to now 70." Jade and Lexie smiled, "Welcome to spring in the south." The girls went directly to the bar when they walked in. Dean and Sam walked to the office. Bobby, Ellen and Jo took a table in the back corner. The new bar back was already at work. Lexie walked to Jason, "We need to see you in the office." Jason followed Lexie and Jade followed him. Jason was a little surprised to see Sam and Dean sitting on the couch. "Hey guys." he said as he sat at the chair in front of the desk. Lexie and Jade both leaned against the desk in front of him. Jade just got right to the point. "We have had a lot of complaints. The girls are very uncomfortable around you. You have done things that could be considered sexual harassment and last night you hemmed Lisa in the supply room and touched her in a way that made her uncomfortable." He shook his head, "I have never done anything to any of them, that they didn't start." Jade walked to the door, "Well, they don't see it that way. And we no longer need you." Lexie walked to the other side of the door facing. Jason smirked and shook his head. The boys sat and waited. Jason walked to the door then turned to Lexie, "That is what happens when you get a bunch of whores in one place." Sam tried to stand but Dean put his hand across his chest and shook his head. Jade held the door shut. Lexie looked at Jade and smirked, "A bunch of whores?" She grabbed his shoulders and kneed him in the nuts. He bent over gasping. Jade grabbed him by the throat and pushed him against the wall. "This is what is going to happen. These men are going to make sure you get to your car. And you are never gonna come here or bother any of these girls again. Because if you do, I will kill you and hide your body where it will never be found. We have actually gotten really good at it, right boys?" Dean and Sam stood and smiled, "You have had a lot of practice." Dean said as he held the door open and Jason limped out.
The girls were sitting at the table with the others when Dean and Sam made it back in. Jade looked at Dean as he sat down. "Everything ok?" she asked. He smiled at her, "Perfect." Sam leaned to Lexie's ear. "You shouldn't be doing things like that." Jade smiled, "You can give that up. She thinks she is bulletproof now. There were times I thought she was done, dead. She came out without a scratch. Like she is invincible. The Terminator." Cas took a shot, "As long as she is carry this child she is. This child is protected. So, she is as long as she is carrying it." The others looked at him. "So, does that mean this baby has some sort of powers?" Sam asked. Cas took another shot. "Yes, but I don't know what kind. What? What do you expect when the mother has powers and the father is one of the only two people that can save the world?" Dean smirked, "So you are saying that it is in his blood?" Cas looked at them, "Exactly. And so will yours and Jade's. They are the next chosen ones." Jade laughed, "That's not gonna happen." Dean smirked, "You got that shit right." Cas took another shot and burped. "He is drunk. He is talking shit." Bobby said as they all laughed at Cas. Jade looked at her watch, "It is still early. We can take this to the house. We can stop and get something to eat. I am starving." Bobby nodded, "Sounds good to me. I could eat a horse."
Sam and Lexie sat in the car, while Dean and Jade went in to order chicken. Jade was leaned against the wall. Then she noticed Dean staring out the window at the car then shake his head. She smiled, "I can't believe you haven't killed me yet." He walked to the wall and stood next to her, "Yet being the key word. I am think of something good." He looked at her and smiled. When she looked away she could still feel his eyes on her. She looked back at him, "What?" Before he could say anything the girl behind the couter called them for their food. Dean grabbed the food and held the door for her. He smiled as he watched her walk to the car. He wasn't mad at her about the car. If it was anyone else, they would be cripple. But not her. But he was gonna make her sweat it out.
They were all sitting around the dining room table finishing their food. Jo had been very quiet. Just watching how Jade and Dean would catch quick stares when the other wasn't looking. They sat across from each other. Jo knew they were not together and she thought this would be her chance to finally drive that wedge between them. "So, I have a question. What happen to the Impala?" Jo asked. Jade looked at Dean and smiled. He shook his head. "Well, the last job, Dean seemed to get a yellow streak down his back. And while saving his ass, I accidentally hit a brick building." Dean clenched his jaw and took a drink of his beer. Ellen laughed, "Yeah, Bobby filled us in." Jade shook her head as she poured them all a shot, "No, it got better after Bobby left. He actually screamed like a little girl when a cat jumped out of a locker." Ellen looked at Dean and covered her mouth trying not to laugh. Didn't work. "I would have loved to seen that." Lexie smiled, "I nearly peed my pants. Then he actually ran out when the ghost showed up. We turned around to see his backside as he was hauling ass out of there." Dean shook his head, "Laugh it up. It is over with, I will kill anything. A vampire, werewolf. Anything." Jo rolled her eyes, her plan backfired. Dean took his shot. Jade looked at him, "What were you hallucination about at the end?" He cleared his throat and looked at Lexie. Lexie told Jade how freaked out he was and that he called her Lilth. Then he looked at Jade, "Hallow monkeys. Those damn things freak me out." Jade looked at him with that look. He knew the look. She knew he was lying. He took another shot and so did she. Then he pointed at her, "But my car. I am going to get you when you least expect it." She raised her hands and smiled, "Bring it on, Winchester. Nothing between me and you but air and opportunity." He smiled, "Is that an invitation?" She smiled back with that smile that could make him do what ever she wanted. "You are smooth but not that smooth." She took another shot and Bobby broke in. "I hate to break up the fun. But this town the devil is going to be at, it is an abandon mine town. The one Sam was at when Yellow Eyes kidnapped him." Dean nodded, "Well, Sam knows that town inside and out. That is good for us." Bobby agreed, "That is what I was thinking. And the fact that we all have these carvings on our ribs, hides us. By us a little time. We split up. Half at one end of town, half at the other end. When we find him, then we all go in." Dean nodded. Sam nodded, "Sounds like a plan. But the girls can't go." Dean nodded again, "I agree. I think with Ellen, Jo, us and Bobby, we will be good." Lexie shook her head, "Who made you boss?" Sam looked at her, "I didn't say I was boss. I just think you shouldn't be running around fight demons if you don't have to." Jade took a shot then looked at Dean, "Do you think he is gonna roll the red carpet out and just invite you in." Dean didn't say anything, he just looked at her. She continued. "He is going to be surrounded by demons, you can bet that. And you start popping of shots, he is gonna know you are there. We can get rid of them nice and quite." Cas agreed. "The girls will be fine. And we need them." Jade smiled that smart ass smile, "Looks like you two are out voted." Dean shook his head and walked to the patio, leaving the door open. The others were quite for a minute. The Ellen spoke, "Now that that is settled, pour us another shot."
After about 20 minutes, Sam joined Dean outside.
Sam: "Look, I don't like this anymore than you do. But they are going to do it. I say we keep them close. With you or me."
Dean: "You sure are calm about this. We are going to kill the devil. Not just a demon. The devil himself. Lexie is carrying your child."
Sam: "You don't have to remind me. But they are going. So our hands are tied."
Dean smirked, "Jade is so stubborn, I could choke her."
Sam smiled, "yeah, she reminds me of somebody else I know. Come back in. Let's spend the next for days relaxing, having a little quality time."
Dean smiled, "Yeah, go ahead. I will be in in a minute."
Dean sat on the patio looking at the sky. It was so clear he could see every star in the sky. Man, this place has really felt like home. As if Jade wasn't enough, the view would be enough to make him never want to leave. He smiled, he could here the music and the others laughing and talking. He loved the way the girls seem to be able to get along with anybody. Even Jade and Jo. No arguing. This was a first. They weren't really speaking but at least they were able to stay in the same room. Then he heard the beginning of "Somewhere with you" by Kenny Chesney. He walked back in and grabbed another beer and stood against the door facing of the dining room. "I love this song." Ellen said as her and the girls begin to sway to the music in their chairs. Lexie and Jade sang along.
"If your going out with someone new, I'm going out with someone too.
I won't feel sorry for me, I'm getting drunk.
When I'd much rather be, somewhere with you.
Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah.
Driving around on a Saturday night.
Made fun of me for singin my song, Got a hotel room just to turn you on.
You said pick me up at 3am. Your fightin with your mom again.
And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go. Somewhere with you, yeah."
Dean stood at the door drinking his beer, just watching. Listening to the words.
"I won't sit, outside your house. And wait for the lights to go out.
Call up an ex, to rescue me. Climb in their bed.
When I'd much rather sleep, somewhere with you.
Like we did on the beach last summer when the rain came down and we took cover,
Down in your car down by the pier. You laid me down, whispered in my ear, "I hate my life
Hold onto me, ah, if you ever decide to leave, then I'd go, I'd go, I'd go"
Then Jo joined in. They got louder and pumped their arms in the air to the beat.
"I can go out every night of the week! Can go home with anybody I meet!
But it's just a temporary high! Cause when I close my eyes, I'm somewhere with you!
Somewhere with you!
If you see me, out on the town. And it looks like I'm burning it down.
You won't ask and I won't say. But in my heart, I'm always somewhere with you.
Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah.
Driving around on a Saturday night.
Made fun of me for singin my song. Got a hotel room just to turn you on.
You said pick me up at 3 am. Your fightin with your mom again.
And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go.
I can go out every night of the week! Go home with anybody I meet!
But it's just a temporary high! Cause when I close my eyes, I'm somewhere with you!
Somewhere with you! Somewhere with you. I'm somewhere with you."
The girls danced to the rest of the song. Bobby walked behind Dean, handing him another beer. "Sound familiar?" Dean looked at him and smirked. "Doesn't matter. That will be the only way I am with her again. When I close my eyes." Bobby patted him on the back, "I hope you don't believe that. She is just making you suffer. Sooner or later, she will give in." Dean took a drink of his beer and watch as Jade got up and went to her room. She came out with a pair of black short cotton shorts and a light pink tank top. She sat back down and poured another shot. Dean still couldn't take his eyes off her. And she could feel it. She looked at him, What? I know that look." He raised his eyebrows, "What look?" She smiled, "I haven't seen it but once, maybe twice. You are thinking." Everybody laughed. He laughed and took another drink. She pointed at him, "You are trying to figure out how your gonna get me back about the car. I'm warning you. Don't do it." she joked. She was starting to get a buzz along with everyone else. Dean walked to the table, "What are you gonna do?" She looked at his keys on the table and snatched them. She stood and ran when he came around the table. "Jade, give me my keys. I'm warning you." She was in front of the couch and he was at the back. "That's it girl, make him beg for his keys." Ellen yelled. Lexie smiled and stood, "I am going to bed." Sam followed. Dean put his hands on the back of the couch. "Jade give me the keys." She shook her head, "Get 'em" Dean ran around the couch and Jade jumped over it and headed to her room. Dean followed her. She tried to get out the sliding door but it was lock. Dean grabbed her and threw her on the bed. She laughed as she bounced on the bed. Keys tightly in hand. Before she could get up, he was straddled on top of her. Holding her arms to the bed. "Still not getting them." she said huffing. Dean was huffing too. "How are you gonna stop me. Looks like you are stuck." She tried to wiggle out and his grip tightened. "Let me up and I will give them to ya." she said. He smiled and she felt herself damping. "Oh, no. You first." he said as he leaned close. So close she could feel his breath on her lips. She looked at his lips then into his eyes. "I've got all night."
