Chapter 11
Saturday night was busy as Storm served the patrons that came to the bar. She looked up when a familiar figure stepped through the door and walked toward her. A smile broke out on her face as Breeze rounded the bar to give her a tight hug.
"Things are popping tonight, Sis," Breeze commented as she cast her eyes out into the room.
"It is. It's good to see you, and I can't wait for us to go shopping tomorrow."
"Me either. So, what can I do to help?" she asked grabbing an apron and tying it around her waist. She waved to Norm and sidestepped around Hank as he reached for a bottle of whiskey.
"You want to grab the empties from the tables?"
"I can handle that." Breeze pulled the grey tub from under the bar and went out among the tables picking up empties and trash. She spoke briefly if spoken to, but mainly stayed quiet.
"Whoo wee…What do we have here?" a man questioned as Breeze picked up an empty beer bottle. He was drunk and in a partying mood. "Why don't you sit yourself down and have a beer with us?" He grabbed Breeze's arm and patted his lap, leering at her.
Breeze stood her ground and slowly let her eyes fall to the hand that was holding her arm in a tight grip and let her gaze move up to the man's face as he made smoochy lips at her.
"Sir, I only ask nicely one time, please remove your hand from my arm," Breeze stated in a firm no nonsense voice as she stared him down.
"Joe, let her go," one of his friends told him.
"Awe, I just wanna have a little fun," Joe insisted jerking on her arm and making her stumble slightly.
Breeze sat the tub down on the table and before Norm, who saw what was happening, could get to her, she flipped around, broke the hold on her arm and had Joe on his knees on the floor as she bent his thumb and fingers backwards almost to the breaking point. She leaned down to his whining face and whispered.
"You should listen to what women say, Joe. If I wanted your attention, I would have asked for it." With a snap, Breeze broke a couple of fingers before letting him go. "Whoever is driving better take him to the ER to have that looked at."
"You heard the lady, all of you out now," Norm growled at them as he grabbed the back of Joe's shirt and drug him to his feet to escort him from the bar. "You're lucky she didn't do worse."
"I need a doctor," Joe whined as he clutched his hand to his chest and stumbled along as Norm pushed him to the door. His buddies quickly downed their beers and hurried after them.
"Sorry about that miss," one stopped and told Breeze before leaving.
Breeze looked around as a few people clapped for her and gave her the thumbs up sign. Breeze couldn't help but laugh and bowed to them as she continued to clear the empties before taking the tub to the bar.
"Are you okay?" Storm asked her. "Sometimes, customers go a little too far and you handled that well."
"Sure, wasn't anything I couldn't deal with. He picked the wrong woman to mess with," Breeze shrugged with a smirk on her face. "It helped that my Dad and brother made sure I could defend myself and the military training helped too."
"I always knew you were a bad ass when you wanted to be. We only have another hour and I'll shut down the bar and we can head upstairs. I usually have some tea or something and unwind for a bit before going to bed."
"Okay, if you need me to do something let me know."
"Will do Bree. Thanks."

"Man! Glad tonight's over with," Storm sighed as she opened her apartment door for them.
"And you do that every night," Breeze commented. "No wonder you are in such good shape. How many miles do you walk a night?"
"No telling. Do you want a cup of hot tea? Or I've got some sodas in the fridge."
"Sure, that's fine, hot tea will relax me."
"Have a seat, it won't take me a minute to fix." Storm headed into the kitchen and flipped on the radio in passing. She started the water heating and pulled mugs and tea bags from the cabinet. She fixed the tea once the water boiled and grabbed a bag of sugar cookies to take with her. "Here we go." Storm handed Breeze a mug and sat down beside her.
"Thanks," Breeze said. She cupped her hands around the mug and blew across the top to cool it. She accepted a cookie from Storm and bit into it, savoring the sweet, crunchy taste. After carefully sipping the tea, Breeze spoke. "Did you talk to Dean about that last case they were on?"
"Yes, it sounded gruesome. I can't imagine a child spirit doing that, killing all those people. It always gets to Dean when there's kids involved, be it spirits or humans. They had a case a while back where the monster was draining the life out of kids. It had been doing it for years, leaving the kids in comas and eventually they died."
"Crap! That sounds awful Sis. Did they find it and kill it?"
"Yeah, turns out this was unfinished business for Dean. Sam was attacked by the same thing, it was called…Let me think…Strange name…Started with a S…Shtriga, yes that's it. It's an Albanian witch that looks human during the day and changes at night into its true form when it attacks. It attacked Sam when he was five or six, something like that. Dean froze and didn't shoot. I think their Dad stormed in, but it got away."
"How horrible for them. I'm sure Sammy felt really bad for Dean."
"Yeah, Dean carried that guilt with him until their father send them after it again. Dean killed it when the Shtriga had Sam down and was draining him."
"And so, you know, Sam told me I could call him Sammy, he didn't mind."
"I'm glad, I know he likes you now, to tell you that."
"I gotta say, there's no dull moments with those guys. Are all their cases like that?"
"Well, the ones I know about have all been different. You'll have to have Sam tell you about some of the others they solved."
"I've been reading up on the supernatural since I found out about it, and I can't believe what all is out there. Some I don't think are true, but it's hard to tell."
"I know. Sam showed me the best sites to check out and gave me a couple of books to read. I'll show you tomorrow what they are."
"I'd like that, and I'll question Sam about it when we see them again. I can't believe how fast the time has passed and we'll be going on vacation next weekend."
"I know, tell me about it. The house I found is amazing. It even has a pool and is beach front. There are some great sounding ghost tours we can take. I know, I know what the guys think of that," she laughed when Breeze rolled her eyes and giggled.
"The last time I talked to Sam, he said they were going to help another hunter with a case."
"Yes, Dean told me too. It's a hunter they know and trust, I do know that. Dean told me there are wanna be hunters out there that can get you killed, if they don't get themselves killed first."
"That's easy to imagine. Being a hunter has to be a stressful, dangerous, and possibly deadly. Do you have the guys' sizes?"
"I do. I've done their laundry enough and checked for the sizes. I actually got them a few things from the thrift stores in town."
"Good."
"Well, I think I'm ready for bed, how about you?"
"Yeah, me too," Breeze yawned. "I think I can get to sleep now."
"You can have the bathroom first."
"Alright, I'll see you in the morning. Wake me if I'm not up when you get up."
"Same for me. That way we can get an early start on shopping."
"Night Sis."
"Night Bree."

The girls were walking through a mall that Storm chose for them to shop at. It was a couple of towns over and had a wide selection of stores to choose from. They were eating a soft pretzel and drinking a soda as they strolled past the stores eyeing them to decide which ones they wanted to investigate.
"Man, I haven't had one of these in a long time," Breeze hummed as she took another bite of her pretzel.
"I know, I always begged for one when Mom would take me shopping and then Grams. They would always give in," Storm reminisced.
"Let's go in here, they have a sale on summer items and maybe we can find the guys some swimming trunks."
"Sounds good and we can check out their bathing suits for us, but we have to finish our food, it says no food or drinks inside."
They sat down on a bench and people watched as they finished eating their pretzels and washed them down with the soda. Storm giggled when she burped louder than she meant to making Breeze giggle too, before she burped softly.
"Guess I'm taking after my man," Storm told Breeze. "Shall we head inside and see what they have to offer?"
"Yes, do you know what Sam's favorite color is?"
"You know, I'm not really sure, maybe blue? That's not come up in conversation before. Dean has a lot of black shirts, but I want some other color." Storm picked up a pair of red trunks with blue and yellow stripes down the side and shook her head no, she couldn't see him in them.
"Sis, hey look!" Breeze called to her in excitement. "Check these out, wouldn't they just die if we got them these to wear?" she asked holding up a royal blue speedo for her to see.
"Oh, my goodness!" Storm started laughing as she picked up a speedo to check it out. "I gotta say, it doesn't leave much to the imagination. Let's get them one as a prank."
"You think we should? I can already see Sam's face turning all shades of red."
"Yes! This will be the funniest thing. We have to be sure to record their reaction and make them try them on."
"I don't know if Sam will go for that, but it's worth a shot. If not, maybe he'll model it in the bedroom."
"You're so…" Storm started but had to stop as they both broke down laughing so hard, they had to hold each other up. Storm wiped her eyes and drew in a short breath trying to get control. "Alright, here's their sizes for these. Let's see if we can find something they'll actually wear."
The girls found swimming trunks, a couple pairs of shorts, shirts, and men's flip flops for the guys, along with bathing suits for themselves. They bought some shorts and tops from the sales racks and decided that was it for that store. After paying for their purchases, they headed out to see what other stores looked interesting.
Storm wanted to go into the Sun Hut to get sunglasses and hats for the beach. They picked out glasses and hats for the guys knowing they would thank them once they got there and were out on the beach in the heat of the day.
Breeze pulled Storm into Victoria's Secrets and looked at sexy underwear and bras. They found a couple things marked down that would turn the guys' heads and got them. Once they paid for them, they decided to take the bags to the car before continuing to shop. They were making a day out of their trip and were enjoying every minute of it.
A/N: The girls are getting ready for their trip and making sure they have clothes for the guys. Thanks for coming on this journey. I do like reviews/comments. NC
