Ballard knelt beside the body of her late partner before getting up and approaching the Winchesters who were standing nearby.
Sam studied her, "You doin' alright?"
"Not really." She frowned, "The death omen Claire. What happens to her now?"
"It should be over." Angel nodded, "Claire should be at rest."
"So, uh…" Dean sighed as he looked to Ballard, "What now, officer?"
"Pete did confess to me. He screwed up all of your cases royally. I'd say that there's a good chance that we could get your cases dismissed."
Sam's brows lifted, "You'd take care of that for us?"
"I hope so." Her eyes met Angels, "Although, the assault charges on Deputy Demartino aren't going anywhere. You did break his nose."
Angel smiled sheepishly as she shrugged, "That's fair." She cleared her throat, "Sorry about that by the way."
She nodded before continuing, "Oh, and the St. Louis murder charges? That's another story as well. I can't help you. Unless…" She looked between them knowingly, "I just happened to turn my back, and you three walked away. I could just tell them that the suspects escaped."
"Wait… are you sure?"
Dean sent his little brother a glare, "Yeah, she's sure, Sam."
"No, it's just- I mean, you could lose your job over something like that."
"Look, I just want you three out there doing what you do best. Trust me, I'll sleep better at night." She turned to go but looked back at them once more, "Listen, you need to watch your back. They're gonna be looking for all three of you right now. Get out of here. I gotta radio this in."
"Hey…" Dean called to her, "Uh, you wouldn't happen to know where my car is, by chance?"
"It's at the impound yard down on Robertson." She frowned as Deans calculating look, "Don't even think about it."
"It's okay, it's all right, don't worry about it." Angel dismissed her as she turned her brothers to get going, "We'll just improvise. We're pretty good at that."
"Yeah. I've noticed."
As the three of them walked off down the road Sam smirked, "Nice lady."
"Yeah." Angel agreed, "For a cop anyway."
Dean eyed the two of them curiously, "Did she look familiar to you guys?"
"Uh, i don't think so."
"No." Sam shook his head as well before shoving Dean playfully, "Why?"
"I don't know." Dean smirked, "Anyway, are you two hungry?" They shook their heads, "For some reason I could really go for some pea soup."
