As we pull up outside the post office I get out of my car and walk over to talk to Dean at his driver's side window. "You guys wait here I'll be right back and we can take a look at whatever Elkins left together." As I turn to walk away Dean calls after me, "Hurry back" with a smirk and then mouths a kiss at me. I lean down and respond shaking my head and raising my eyebrow at him but also unable to fight a smile, "Always such a flirt Winchester!"

I walk inside the post office and quickly find the mail box and use the combo to open it, inside I find two envelopes. One envelope with the initials J.W. on it, probably John Winchester, and the other with A.G., and that one is for me. I close the mail box and head back out to the boys.

As Lexi enters the post office Sam turns to Dean with an inquisitive look and asks, "So, how exactly do you know this girl Dean?"

Dean rolls his eyes and sighs, "Just from around man, I don't know. Does it really matter? She is just an old friend."

"An old friend? Like Cassie was an old friend?" Sam asks with a smug smirk.

Dean glares at Sam, "Yea something like that, okay, you happy? Can you drop it now?"

Sam continues, "But she's a hunter too. And you trust her?"

Dean looks towards the post office to check on Lexi then back at his brother with a sincere expression, "Yea man, I trust her. She is a damn good hunter and she has saved my ass a time or two." Sam nods his head and decides to drop it as he sees Lexi coming back.

As I reach Dean's car I slip into the back seat, "Looks like you boys might be right about Elkins leaving clues that could help you find your dad. He left two envelopes in that mail box and I'm guessing this one," I hand Dean the envelope with J.W. on it, "was probably meant for John Winchester. So you guys should open it, and I'll open mine." They both turn to look at me as I start to open my envelope.

"Wait, your initials are A.G.? Lexi starts with an L missy." Dean questions me.

I roll my eyes at him, explaining as if to a child, "Lexi is a nickname for Alexia, buddy, and Glenanne is my last name. I thought you knew that."

Just as I finish speaking there is a knock on Dean's door that makes all of us jump and turn towards it, as John Winchester himself comes into view. "Well look at that, I guess you found him! Prodigal father returns!" I say dripping with sarcasm.

Dean rushes to scold me, "Lex, please, behave!" as John slides into the car next to me in the back seat. Sam and Dean both turn around to look at their dad as I just kind of glare at him.

"Dad? What are you doing here? Are you okay?" Sam and Dean question.

"Yea I'm okay" he responds as he turns to look at me.

"Hi" I greet stone faced.

"Your Lexi aren't you? The kid Daniel took in years ago." My glare softens a bit and my face scrunches up with confusion and questions as he says this, I didn't think he knew who I was. He answers my unasked questions anyway, "A couple of times when you were just a kid I went to visit Elkins and you were there training out back. Elkins told me about you. Of course I haven't seen you in years so I wasn't totally sure at first if it was you."

I interrupt, "So you've been spying on me! I knew I felt someone watching me since I got to Manning."

"I needed to be sure and I needed to make sure my boys weren't followed, nice job covering your tracks by the way" he responds and praises his boys. I just nod my response.

"Yeah well we learned from the best, " Dean says, at which I roll my eyes.

John goes on, "Anyway I read the news about Daniel and got here as fast as I could; saw you guys up at his place."

"So you came all the way out here for this Elkins guy?" Sam asks.

"Yeah, he was a good man, taught me a hell of a lot about hunting."

"He was a good teacher" I pipe in while staring at the envelope in my hands. John looks at me and nods his agreement.

"You never mentioned him to us." Sam accuses his dad.

John looks down then back at his boys, "We had kind of a falling out, I haven't seen him in years." He actually sounds like he might regret that a little. I look down and throw in myself,

"I haven't seen him in years either. But he clearly still trusted both of us." I say, handing John his letter after grabbing it out of Dean's hand. John looks at me and then down at the letter, "Well, we should open these," he says as he starts to tear into his and I continue to pull my letter out. I read my letter silently as John reads the gist of his out loud to Sam and Dean.

Lexi,

If you are reading this it means I am dead. But that's life right, especially for a hunter. I hope I taught you well enough to way out live me by long time. I was crazy to take a kid, especially as young as you were, just a little girl, and raise you to be a hunter. But from the moment I met you on that unfortunate day, I knew there was something special about you, and that you might have even been meant for this life. I wanted you to know you are one of the most talented hunters I have ever had the honor of training, and you were like a daughter to me. And I have always been proud of you. I still don't understand exactly why you left on your own when you did but I understand if it's what you felt you needed to do and I appreciate that you have found ways to keep in touch every now and again over the years. As you know that Colt revolver is my most prized and most valuable possession, and if I am dead, which I must be if you are reading this, I want you to make sure it either ends up in your hands or John Winchester's hands (he could probably really use it for his own crusade). Just make sure it does not fall into the wrong hands. Stay smart, stay safe, and stay strong out there kiddo. —Daniel Elkins

As I finish reading the letter a single tear slips down my cheek and as I look up I realize John is asking the boys about the Colt.

"I'm fairly certain the vampires must have taken the Colt. We need to get it back!" I say, wiping away the tear and looking to John. He looks back at me surprised by the urgency in my voice maybe.

"Right," he says "let's get started then, we need to pick up the trail, we can get a motel room and see if we can get a beat on their trail from listening to my police scanner" as he gets out of Dean's car. I follow suit and return to my own car to collect myself for a minute before I follow the Winchesters to a motel. I had never really imagined Daniel cared so much or that he would be so sentimental. Now, more than anything, I want to destroy every last blood sucker that had a hand in Elkins' death. I allow myself one more minute to look at Daniel's letter, and then I pull myself together wipe the few stray tears from my eyes and pull onto the road on the heels of Dean's Impala.

I may occasionally put bits of Sam and Dean interactions when Lexi is not around, and therefore not in her POV, like I did at the beginning of this chapter. Hope its not confusing. Also, I hope to be able to update a little bit more regularly than I have been for a while. I hope you are still enjoying this story. Let me know what you think if you'd like. Up next there will be a one on one conversation between Dean and Lexi. Stay tuned. Anything recognizable from Supernatural is obviously not mine. I own nothing.
