CHAPTER 19
'Ben Can you hear me?'
The truck Ben drove swerved as the voice in his head spoke. At first, he thought he had been poisoned by the Djinn he had been fighting but, it had suddenly stopped and took off like some other monster was hot on its heels. But Ben had checked himself thoroughly. This, after the earth quit shaking. He was on a Hunt in California so he thought he had just experienced an earthquake which was also why the Djinn ran. It took Ben a couple of hours but he finally found the Djinn again and dispatched it to where ever monsters went when they died.
He pulled off the road at an abandoned gas station. He thought maybe he was just tired and needed to rest a bit when he heard the voice again.
'Ben please, I need to talk with you'
Ben knew that voice.
"Castiel?" Ben asked questioningly.
'Yes, please just listen'
Ben cleared his throat and said
"Ok, listening"
'I need you to find Meg for me. I know she is in Kansas. Probably Lawrence or Lebanon.'
Ben was confused
"But Castiel, aren't y'all bonded? You know like Kirk and Spock during a mind meld or CP3O and R2D2 during a data exchange."
Castiel laughed. Ben was just like Dean, references and all.
He remembered when Dean asked him to wipe him from Ben and Lisa's memory. Dean saying it was for their own protection. When Castiel had wiped Lisa's mind he found out she lied to Dean about not being Ben's father. And when he touched Ben's forehead with his finger to wipe his mind, he realized the truth he had found in Lisa's mind. Dean's DNA was in Ben. Castiel would keep her secret. She wanted Ben to have a stable home not be all over the country like Dean's dad had done to both Dean and his brother. Dean found out serval years later and it tore Dean up that he wasn't given a choice in the matter.
He let the thought leave his mind and said
'Yes but, I am being blocked by something. She is in danger. Please Ben can you help me?'
"Of course, Castiel. I was heading to Kansas anyway. So are other Hunters. Everyone I have run into has said they felt trouble brewing."
Ben waited for Castiel to respond.
'I will be in contact with the other Hunters next. I will explain everything once I see you. Pray to me if you find her. I will be in touch'
"Castiel wait. What are we up against" Ben waited and waited until?
'Leviathans'
Ben picked up the leather-bound journal that always sat in the front seat close to him. It was Deans. He opened it to the section that Dean had written on the nasty things and wondered, would they survive another Leviathan war.
