Chapter 7: Compelled By Wickedness

The next morning, The Winchesters stayed in their motel. Hours and hours of digging through the town's archives and dusty books that Sam picked from the local library. Dean's phone buzzed like crazy. He flipped the screen on and noticed four messages. He saw that Bobby texted him, so he clicked on that one first.

Uncle B: Idjit I heard about your deal. Are you ballsing me?! Dean Winchester! What is up with you and Winchester make deals!

Dean rolled over on his side and groaned. How the hell did Bobby find out? He hadn't told anybody but Sammy. He started to type his response and hoped that it was enough to satisfy the old man.

Dean: Whoa Whoa wait, I did it to save Sammy. I couldn't leave without him and he— Bobby I just couldn't man...

His phone dinged again not even a second later. Bobby must've learned from Jo and he wishes he could erase that from his brain.

Uncle B: Balls! You're smarter than that Dean.

Dean: How did you find out anyways?

Uncle B: Sam told me and hell you didn't even bother telling me. You and Sam went off your meds and killed that black-eyed bastard without even telling me!

He knew that his step-father was more upset than infuriatied with him. Bobby has been in his and Sam's life as long as he can remember. He was there for them when their father wasn't. Dean didn't hate his dad. He never had. He just wished that his dad didn't make Sam his responsibility. Before Sammy could even talk. His father drilled into his brain. 'Boy watch your brother' or 'This is an order, Boy!' Sometimes he wanted to run to uncle Bobby. His uncle Bobby was more of a father than his biological one.

"Dean!" His thoughts were refocused and looked around the small motel room. Sam noticed that his brother's head was buried into that phone. "What ya reading?"

Dean glared,"Bobby knows."

Sam starts to look the other direction and hides his eyes away from his angered brother. "Oh..."

He scoffed, Yeah 'Oh' Sammy."

Sam knew that Dean wouldn't of told Bobby about his deal and so he decided to do it. He was aware of. The consequences and one was that Dean would be furious at him. If it might someone else knew and could take it off her shoulders, So be it.

"Did you hear about Tom?" Lexie swiveled in her office chair and eyes Alice with surprised eyes.

"What about Tommy?" She asks, Alice simple sighs and shrugged her shoulders. "He was attacked while on duty two nights Wednesday." Lexie gasps in shock. So while she was taking care of Dean after that bitch tried to assault him.

"Oh my god!" She exclaims, jumping out of her chair and onto her feet. "Is he okay?" She was relieved when she saw Alice's head nod. She left out a soft exhale and then sat back down.

"What was abnormal was his statement. He said he saw Jason Blossom." Lexie heard her snort as she typed into the search bar. "Man everyone's been sneaking fizzle rocks before their morning breakfast bar."

She was too busy typing, eyeing scrolling down the page as she read to even pay attention. What's going on with this town? Hiram Lodge running a drug lord production, Jellybean's inexcusable behavior, Alice's involvement with this 'farm'( which Lexie was sure was a cult) and lastly now this seeing Jason thing. This made no sense to her.

"Al..." She whispers underneath her breath." Maybe you're wrong."

"Did you say something?" She tensely shook her head and heard a sigh. "A- -alright.." Apprehension was clear in her voice. She knew Alice didn't really believe her.

She cleared her throat," Al.." Her friend sighs loudly, rolling her eyes.

"Yes, Lex?"

With a slight twinkle in the Jones's eye made Alice giggle. She already knew. Before Lexie could even open her trap— Alice called a mouth. Alice nodded her head.

"One cup coming right up." Lexie's eyes widened with delight and she returns her attention to her work. "Pop's?"

She briskly spun around in her spinning chair and faced Alice with her mouth open. She didn't just ask, did she! This can't be happening! Alert this is no drill!

"Are you for real, Al!" She scoffed, her light eyes browsing her friend's face. "Of course Pop's. Where else? Starbucks?" She chuckled. "Ha! No." Alice sighed again.

"Oh lord, you say one word and Lexie's trouble comes out!"

A fierce glare entered the room to Alice. "Oh. No. You didn't." She gasped. "That's forbidden."

"Alrighty then, yeesh!"

"FORBIDDEN!"

"Alexa! I get it!" Then she took a deep breath. After she calmed down. She began to respond again. Quietly she whispers, " I'll be back from Pop's in an hour."

"Finally." Breathed Lexie. Her boss turned back to her. "Oh and if you wouldn't mind—"

"Unjam the copier? Sure, if you give me the day off tomorrow." She knew she was in slippery waters. But she also knows that Alice loves her and wouldn't fire her over a stupid bribe.

Alice's back turned around and she was now facing her. "Fine. Fine. You can have the day off."

Lexie squealed," Thank you, Thank you!"

"You're welcome." Alice giggled.

They exchanged arms and then swiftly turned away from each other. Alice leaves out the door and Lexie walls over to the copy machine. "Great, why did I say yes to this. At least... I get the day off."she mumbled softly as she pulled the paper out of the jam and instead inserted a new stack of blank copying paper.

The oldest Winchester got hungry and decided to take him and Sam out for a early brunch. They settled in the booth at the local diner, Pop's and Dean ordered himself a grilled cheese sandwich and a slice of pecan pie.

As Dean was about to dine in on his grilled cheese. He caught a glimpse of the waitress. Her hair was raven black, tied back in a tight pony and her apron covering her soft skin. He looked away from his food and set his sandwich down.

"My apologies, I'm afraid we're all out of pecan pie." The raven haired waitress says with a frown.

"Oh... that's okay."

"Can I interest you in our special? It's very good I promise." As much as Dean wanted to say no. He couldn't bring himself to say no.

"Um, what's your speciality pie?" She smiled at him.

"Cherry pie with chocolate covered cherries."

It took him a few moments to decide. Finally he gave in and got the speciality pie. When his pie came. He sniffed the air and waved his hand to his face. He could smell the chocolate and he grinned. He didn't speak to Sam since they pulled up. He was still pissed off at him for telling Bobby about the deal.

"Dean, come on. Talk to me." His little brother sighed as he contained his fury.

His words still went unresponsive. He wasn't going to speak with his brother until he felt like it. Sam sighed, breathing out of his nose and buried his face into his palm.

Across the diner walked in a tall blonde with long honey curls bouncing over her shoulders. From where the brothers were seated the conversation seemed tense. "Let me guess, her coffee again." He heard the man behind the counter heave a sigh.

The tall blonde woman nodded as she handed the man her debit card. "Yes. Also you get your sister tomorrow thanks to her bribery." Dean eavesdropped as he continued to eat the pie that was plated in front of him.

He heard the man chuckle." That sounds like her alright. She's an addict to Pop's coffee."

"That She is." She giggles, letting a piece of hair fly into her face.

Her smile only made the man look more cheery. "Good-bye." He turns his attention to his brother.

Sam noticed his brother ignoring him and just wished he could fix his mistake. He told Bobby about the demon deal and now he's brother won't even speak or even look at him. This saddened the young Winchester as he watched his brother finish his meal.

"So why do you think Jason attacked the Sheriff out of all these people in town?" Dean rolled his eyes and scoffed.

"Are you kidding? The sheriff failed to find his murderer. If that happened I would pull a hell-Mary and strike back."

Defended Sam, "It's not the Sheriff's fault that his father killed him."

"Whatever, Sam." Dean spoke through a clenched jaw.

"Dea—" He cut off his brother with a laugh.

"You're sorry? Isn't a little late for that, Sam. You told Bobby and you expect me to shove it down and forget. Nuh-uh not happening, bro." He hissed as he soaked down his fork and the fork screeched on the plate.

"D—" Sam was interrupted again. "If you want to make things better go research." Dean finally sneered as he furiously threw his jacket on and stormed away.

After Dean left, Sam threw money down on the tab and followed the direction his brother took off. When he got outside the Impala was gone and so was Dean. He cursed out loud and then curled his fist at his side. "Damn you Dean." He swore as he fisted his hand through his locks and scoffed.

A few hours later Sam found Dean back at the motel. He sniffed the air in the room and chuckled. It smelt of sweet Pecan pie and Jack Daniels whiskey. "A— Sammmy!" He found Dean slurring as he laid on the mattress. He shook his head before bursting out laughing. His brother halted and glared in his view.

"I found out more about the case."

Dean sat up in bed." And...?"

"It turns out the last person to see him was his fraternal twin, Cheryl Blossom. Maybe we could figure out what he might want."

He found that Jason might've had a grudge towards the town but what about his sister. Right now he had one with his brother. "So... did you get the address?" He questions, shutting his eyes.

"Yeah." He cleared his throat. He heard Sammy turning the pages from the Riverdale history book. "Um... oh here it is. 2355 cherry chestnut rd."

Dean's throat cleared," Alright give me ten— go start Baby and don't..." He countered as he pocketed his keys and handed with to Sam. "... Don't harm her or I'll stab you in the neck." His brother nodded and went out the door.

It had been an hour since Alice left for Pop's. She was barely managing to keep her eyes open. The doorbell dinged, causing her to lift her head from the desk.

"I got your Coffee. Jeez your brother was right." She glared, her friend just rolled her eyes as she handed her the coffee cup.

Lexie sipped at the liquid and blew just a little to cool it down. Alice sat down in the desk right across from her's. "Thank you, Al."

Alice noted the exhaustion in her eyes and simple said," Go." Lexie turns confused. "You're exhausted, Lexa. I'll see you on Friday."

Lexie quickly said her goodbyes and opened the door. She made it to the parking lot and hopped inside. As she drove, her mind was clattered by the recent events. With living at the trailer with her brother and his two kids. She moved back in about six months ago. She had to focus on school and rent just became too much of a hassle to bare.

She walked into the trailer, looking around and then spotted her family at the dining room table with lights shining above. "Hey." She was greeted by a hug from her brother before she grabbed a chair.

Softly Lexie replied," Hey..." She tried to avoid Jellybean's eyes. She looked still angry. "Jelly... I'm sorry." The little girl narrowed her eyes and rolled her eyes.

"You're sorry okay? Well I'm not sorry. It's the truth." Jughead exchanged a look towards his father, who just shrugged.

"JB, what's this about? You were fine when I visited you in Toledo." Jughead asked, simply out of concern for his father and for his sister.

JB clanked her spoon back into her soup and hissed." Really Jughead? Weren't you anger when Mom wouldn't let you stay back when Dad was arrested." Lexie's eyes bulge out.

"What!" She yelled, her eyes turning red as she looked at her nephew. "That woman didn't let you stay?" He nodded.

She shook her head, burning rage in her head. "Yes... Aunt Lex. I even offered to sleep on the couch and she said she couldn't." FP even looked raged as she did.

"Is this true Jug?"

"Yes."

Just as things were settling down. Lexie learned new info about Jughead's whereabouts when her brother was accused of the murder he didn't commit. She was enraged when she and her brother found Jughead beaten to almost death. Hiram. Ooh she'd love to get her revenge on that despiteful monster. Everyday she wants to but she can't ruin her career— you can't be licensed in any medical profession if you have a felony.

By time dinner was done, everyone was dismissed from the table and went to hibernate in their caves. Lexie sat on her computer watching old re-runs of Friends and Full house. She laughed when Ross drew on Rachel's face with pen and it wouldn't come off. She looked at the clock and exhaled. The clock struck nine P.M. when she crashed. The laptop beside her humming the theme song and soon she was snoring like a trucker.

Sam and Dean finally left the motel and headed to the address. "Who the hell are you and what are you hooded hooligans doing at my fortress?" The redhead-ginger asked, hands on her hips and her lips pressed tightly as she stared at them.

Dean pulled his badge out of his jacket pocket. She rolled her eyes. "Oh— please, I've met better dressed authorities than you and chuckles here." He side-eyed his brother and he cleared his throat.

"Miss Blossom... we would like to ask you and your mother some questions. If you wouldn't mind, answering for us." Sam stated as his eyes swoop the doorway.

The red stepped aside and let the brothers walk through. "Oh before you enter. You must take off those filthy troll shoes."Ooh that girl was getting on Dean's nerves. He was just trying to complete this case and then he would be on his way and he wouldn't have to see her or this town again.

"Miss Blossom—"

"Cheryl, officer..." Cheryl looked down at the badge."Ah Mercury. Are you related to Freddie Mercury?" Dean slowly started blushing at that comment.

He felt flattered to considered being related to the legendary Freddie Mercury. Hell classic rock was a legacy. "Um- no just same name, Ma'am."

"Anyway." Sam cleared his throat, removing a note pad from his back pants pocket. "I learned about your brother's death."

"Oh you mean that crazy sheriff we have. My brother isn't haunting this town. He's dead and he should be allowed to rest as he's due for."

Cheryl's eyes began to water. She inhaled some air through her lungs and then blinked her eyes twice to stop the tears from falling off her waterline.

"Did you notice flicking lights, power outages or abnormal coldness in the house?" She looked at the agents like they were crazy.

"Ghosts?" She scoffed," I think you've gotten a hold of fizzle rocks, sir."

"Cheryl I know this might be very difficult..."

"Difficult?" She dry chuckled," Difficult isn't going to bring my Jay-Jay back, agents. I'm sorry if I'm not much help but my brother's death has been ruled and there's no reason for his memory to fantasied for your delusions."

"Sorry for wasting your time, Miss." Sam apologized before reaching for the door knob and letting himself out.

By the next sunrise, the news blew up everywhere. Since last evening was a bust with the twin of Jason. They understood that she didn't want to dig up the past. Then all started to piece together perfectly.

"Hello?"

"Agent!" Some screeched, causing Dean to stir awake and rub at his tired eyes.

He recognized the voice right away." Miss Blossom, shh take a breath for me."

"H-he's here!"

"Who's there?"

A gasp for a breath broke through the line," J-j-a-ason, Agent Mercury." Cheryl cried.
