DISCLAIMER
Supernatural belongs to the WB, which will soon be the CW. Life With Derek belongs to Disney. And I know ch 3 was totally short, which I apologize for. I'll try to make this chap longer. The only thing I own is Jack and the side effects of a siren. Thanks to Mimifoxlove, Wordoftruthhunter26, JadeAlmasy, and Charmedsupernatural fan who did some recon for me on sirens.
Meanwhile, Sam and Dean were doing some necessary cleaning in the Impala.
"Dude. What is this?" Dean demanded, holding up an empty wrapper.
"It looks like a hamburger wrapper, Dean," Sam responded.
"Yeah, I know that. What I wanna know is why it was left in the car," Dean stated.
"Probably 'cuz we drove through somewhere," Sam answered.
"Yeah. Like two months ago," Dean tossed back. Sam just shook his head.
"You know, Dean. You're obsessed," he said.
"No I'm not. I just like a clean car," the older man defended.
"You're obsessed," his brother insisted. "I'm serious, Dean. The way you act around this car, it's not healthy," he continued, ignoring the other man's glare.
"Bite me," came the retort. Before Sam could reply, Dean's phone rang.
"Get that, would ya?" Dean requested.
"Dude, it's your phone," Sam objected.
"You're closer," Dean pointed out. Sam rolled his eyes and grabbed his brother's phone.
"Jerk," he muttered. Dean grinned and gave his normal response to the name.
"You been kissin' Aunt Nora with that mouth?" Sam asked as he pressed the 'talk' button. "Hello?" he queried.
"Hey, Sammy. Need a favor," he heard Casey say.
"Casey. What's goin' on?" he queried. Instantly, Dean went on alert. Casey was calling? What for?
"I need you to check somethin' for me," Casey said.
"What are you lookin' for?" Sam asked.
"Side effects from sirens," Casey responded.
"Sirens? Where did you see a siren?" Sam wondered.
"Who's a siren?" Dean queried.
"I'm not sure if it is a siren. Just look up the side effects," Casey snapped. A buzz in his ear told Sam that she had hung up.
"Casey saw a siren somewhere?" Dean asked.
"I guess. She wants us to look up the side effects," Sam answered, tossing Dean his phone.
"Come on. Let's get to work," Dean said brusquely. They went inside and entered their room where they kept Sam's lap top. Sam booted up the computer, and then went on-line.
"Okay. Sirens. Sirens," Sam muttered. He went to a google search and found a site.
"Wait, wait, wait. Here we go," Dean said.
"Sirens. Creatures with the head of a female, body of a bird. Lived on the Island of Sirenum Scopuli and lured mariners to their doom by using the irristible charm of their songs," San read.
"Okay, standard info. Anything else?" Dean questioned.
"Yeah, according to legend Orpheus counteracted the sirens by having his crew put wax in their ears and then playing his lyre, which had better music than theirs," Sam read. "It also states that if a ship passed a siren unharmed, they'd die," he added.
"That's just great. Where are we gonna find a ship or a lyre?" Dean wondered sarcastically.
"I didn't say it was fool proof," Sam defended himself.
"Any other ways?" Dean queried.
"Uh...nothin' legal," Sam answered. Dean looked over Sam's shoulder.
"Yeah. I see what you mean. I think Casey would rather not get into trouble," Dean mused. Then, "Did you find any side effects?"
"Oh, right," Sam remembered. He scrolled down. "Okay, here we go. Sirens, usually females, but can also be males. Affected victims usually suffer from tightness in the head as the spell overcomes them, their thoughts focus solely on the siren, and they're completely lovestruck," he read off.
"I wonder what's goin on at Westman High now," Dean mused.
"You and me both," Sam agreed. He grabbed his cellphone from the desk and called Casey.
"Talk to me," he heard his cousin say.
"Hey. What'd you do? Sneak out of class?" Sam asked.
"Are you gonna be mad if I say yes?" Casey shot back.
"Listen, I got that info you asked for," Sam stated. Then, he told her what he and Dean had found out.
"Great. We'll do some more recon after school," Casey said.
"You got it," Sam agreed. Then, he hung up.
