Chapter Five
Dean expertly opened the locked bedroom window of the seven year old girl. Behind him Sam slid in and the pair quickly took to looking the room over. Nothing out of the normal. Naked Barbie's littered the floor, stuffed animals covered the bed, and pink gauze curtains hung from the top of the window.
"Nothing looks unusual." Dean said.
"No. We must not be looking hard enough." Sam said, beginning to look closer around the little girl's bed.
"Really? Because I thought we were looking hard enough just scanning the room." Dean said sarcastically.
"You
are a really funny guy, you know that?" Dean laughed.
"It
shows, too, don't it? I mean, look who's getting the girls' "
"Shut up, Dean. I don't do one-night-stands. It's stupid and not worth your time."
"Not worth your time!"
"Yes, Dean. Not worth my time."
"How is it not worth your time!"
"I'm just not a One-night-stand type of guy, Dean. You are. If I'm with a girl, I want to be with her for longer than one night."
"I knew there was something wrong with you." Dean said chuckling..
"There's nothing wrong with me. I just look for long relationships, like I had with Jess. Okay? Can we drop the subject now?"
"Yeah. Come over here, I think I found something." Sam walked over to where his brother was standing. He had thrown the covers on the mattress to look under the bed.
"Claw marks…" Sam said running his fingers over the engraving in the hard wood floor.
"Yeah. Thing was either seriously pissed off, or extremely vicious." Dean said.
"So, what lives under your bed leaves claw marks?"
"The little girl was screaming about monsters, right?"
"Yeah, but what kid doesn't?"
"Well, maybe she wasn't lying. Maybe there actually were things under her bed."
"Let's go meet up with the girls. We'll see what they found in that house. Hopefully they found some evidence there that there were things under that kid's bed, too." The boys left the same way they came in. They walked down the street a little ways to their car. After a few minutes drive, they came across the house where Autumn and Athena were sitting on the curb waiting.
"How long have you been done?" Dean asked.
"I don't know, it hasn't been long." Autumn replied.
"What'd you find?"
"Not a whole lot. But we found some stuff." Sam got out of the car and opened the door for the girls who were getting ready to get in themselves.
"Thanks." Athena said smiling. Instead of a reply Sam just smiled back. Athena winked, got in the car and scooted over for her sister to get in next to her. When Autumn was in Sam shut the door and got in the front seat. He looked in the rear view mirror to see what Athena was doing, and to his surprise she was looking at him in the mirror. He looked down as soon as he noticed her looking at him. He could hear her quiet laugh over Dean's voice.
"What the hell is your problem?" Dean asked.
"Huh?"
"What the hell… is your problem?" he repeated.
"What do you mean?"
"Opening the door for them, pulling up chairs, I mean what the hell? It's Athena and Autumn. They're women, yeah sure, I'll give them that. But it's Athena and Autumn! They were our best friends."
"I'm being polite." The second Sam finished Dean felt a hand upside his head.
"It's something you could do every once in a while, smartass." Athena said. "Let's go back to the motel and try and figure out what we've gotten so far." Sam laughed at his brothers face. Which looked just like a toddlers when he was told to go to the corner. It was the 'I'm not going to do it, and you can't make me.' face.
