Chapter 4
The Encounter
We find Sam and Dean still in the computer room. Sam still in his same outfit, plaid shirt and ripped jeans, Dean wearing a black shirt and dark jeans, researched their dad's journal along with the books and files they pulled from the library.
"Dean, there's nothing, whatever this thing is may be natural not supernatural…"
"No, I know I've seen this before… Dad wouldn't have send us here for nothing Sam, maybe we're missing something"
" Dean hand me dad's journal" Dean gave him the book and Sam glanced through the pages, he found nothing to catch his attention and threw the journal back to Dean, after a few minutes of page flipping he found what they had missed.
"I know were we need to go… we need to find the only victim who seen it…. We need to find Rachel Chase."

The sun streaming down in the early afternoon made the colors of the house bright and clean and gave it a soothing calming effect. The house porch was painted in light gray, which brought out the bright white colors of the window borders and the light blue color on the rest of the house. This was Rachel's home, her place to relax and be comfortable at the end of any day. Rachel loved her house.
The white '04 Range Rover pulled up to the driveway. Both Mike and Rachel made their way to the house. Once inside they placed all the information on the kitchen table. Mike continued to a small room next to the kitchen, this room was set as Rachel's office. The room was messy, papers, notes, books, files were stacked on different areas around the floor. Newspaper clippings were taped, piled up or scattered all over the room. Mike pulled up a chair that sat in front of the laptop and just pushed the papers aside and turns it on.
"Why did you do that?" Rachel said bothered " Why did you messed it up?"
"I messed it up? Rachel the room is a mess!"
"Mess to you. I know were everything is."
" Really? Okay were is your journal?"
"Umm right here" she said as she pulled the black leather booklet from under a stack of newspapers clippings.
"You never cease to amaze me!"
"I love you too," She said with a smile " so what was the thing you found?"
"One of the article I found was about the night when you're Uncle Pete got into that accident", Mike said.
"What are you trying to say"?
"Rachel you're uncle's death was not an accident he was killed by whatever is doing this…"

Sam and Dean had changed their clothes. Sam wore a brown long sleeve shirt and jeans and Dean wore a black shirt and jeans with his favorite black leather jacket. These were comfortable outfits for they were going to be on the road for a while.
"Sam keep heading East and then make a right on 12th"
"Dean do you really think she will know anything?"
"Maybe, I don't know, I mean from what dad has told me she has visions."
"Like me?" Sam questioned.
"Yeah, but unlike you she has no one to help her understand and find out why, but you have me to help."
"There has to be someone"
"Last time I check her dad and cousin left her"
"Did you ever meet her or talk to her?"
"No, I haven't but we do have a picture of her, its about 4 to 5 years old, she is now 21 (looking throw the journal) here, I have to say she is pretty cute"
Dean showed the picture to Sam, who was startled to see the girl in the picture.
"Dean, I've seen her before, I mean I saw her today at the library"
"What?"
"Yeah she was searching for books in the same book stack that I was….there was something about her"
"Yeah, I know, she's gorgeous!"
"Shut Up!" Sam said as he hit his older brother on the shoulder. Dean smiled and continued driving.
"Wait here is her house"
"Seem to be someone here, hopefully it's her and not someone else"
"Okay lets go"
They both exited the car and headed up to the house, once they reach the door they hear footsteps from the back.
"Can I help you to boys with something"
Both brothers turned at the sound of the female voice. "Yes, you can" Dean said with a smirk.
"Hi my name is Sam Winchester and this is my brother Dean, by any chance are you Rachel Chase?"
"Yes, why you ask?"
"Our dad send us here"
"Maybe you've heard of him… John Winchester?" Dean said
Rachel walked past them, opened the door and lets them in, "What do you want? what do you need me for?"
"So you have heard of him?"
"Yes he was my father's best friend"
"Hey Rachel…" Mike's voice called as he came into the living room.
"Mike, these guys are John's kids Sam and Dean" Rachel introduced them.
Mike waived a quick hello to Sam and Dean and turned his attention back to Rachel. "I got to head back to the station before the chief starts looking for me, I kind of want to keep my job there so…"
"Okay Mike, I'll catch you later, bye"
Mike takes his jacket shakes Sam and Dean's hands and head out.
"Sorry the place is a little messy" Rachel excuses herself.
The phone rings. "hang on, sit make yourself at home"
She walks to her office and answers the phone.
"Hello"
"Hello there Rachel Chase, this is your bestest friend and favorite cousin in the whole wide world!
"Stephy! hey what's up? don't you mean only cousin and 2nd bestest friend?" Rachel said smiling.
"Well, I'm finally on vacation, so I'm headed there as we speak. I'll be there late tomorrow night or early morning…2 or 3 in the morning, is that okay?"
"Yeah of course!" Said Rachel.
"Well then, see ya later…bye!"
They hung up.
She started to walk back to the living room when she felt a wave of dizziness, out of nowhere she experienced a flash back . She came to a full stop; the flash back showed 3 faces, the first face was of an elderly man driving his car and breaking down on state route 17….Rachel could not hold herself any longer and fell to the floor, at the sound Sam and Dean ran to see what had happened; still with the rush of dizziness she sees the second face, it was a young girl in her 20's, hitchhiking on that same route…. the boys found Rachel on her knees, her hands pressing on her head and blood from her nose dripping down onto her shirt; the last face she saw before totally passing out was a man driving down the same route, he had two little girls in the back seat, one seem older then the other, the man looked back to check on them but as soon as he turned to look ahead…
"Uncle Pete" she whispered.
Both Sam and Dean looked at each other, they held Rachel's head back and patted her cheeks gently. Sam ran in the kitchen for a glass of water and a cloth to clean Rachel's face. As she started to come back to, they helped her up and walked her to the sofa in the living room. Rachel laid down still with her head back…but by now fully awake and aware of what had happened.
"Rachel what happened?" Sam asked
A long pause came from Rachel.
"Rachel we know about your visions, tell us what did you see" Dean demanded.
"Who told you?" She asked puzzled
"Our dad wrote it on his journal along with everything your father told him." Sam continued.
She looked at them and said.. "I saw 3 faces, one of an elderly man, a young lady and then my…my uncle Pete all of them in the same location, all on State Route 17."
"Rachel do you know what that means, is there a pattern?" Sam asked
"No, I don't know what it means, the only pattern here is that they are all dead and what they have in common is what killed them"
"Do you know what it is?" Dean question her
"No, not yet, but now that you're here maybe we'll find out…"
They hear a car pull up to the drive way and the front door opened.
"Mike, you were right" …Rachel said without even looking at the door to see who it was.
Mike was sent out on an errand for the chief and decided to stop by the house and apologize to Sam and Dean for leaving so quickly earlier.
"What are you talking about?" Mike asked.
"They know, John told them, and I saw what you were talking about…. with uncle Pete"
Mike kneeled next to Rachel…"Okay, Rachel….we'll start looking at the files and go though all the records…just relax and give me until later on this afternoon. I'll see what else I can come up with at the station. He looked at Sam and Dean…"you guys don't mind hanging out until I leave work?…I can meet you back here later on…I'll bring dinner.."
"Okay"…Dean and Sam responded. Looking down at Rachel, Sam smiled and said, we'll get to work!".

The night grew darker, they all knew there was not going to be much sleep. All four had gathered in the small room, they were reading all notes, going through all files, newspaper clipping they were not going to leave anything unread.
"Rachel, maybe Dean and I can hit the local bars to find out more since the recent victims hung around there and you and Sam can drive up to Route 17….maybe you guys can question the couple" Mike said
"Are you both up to it?" Rachel asked them.
"Sure, lets go" Sam said.
"We can take my car and you and Sam can take your car" Dean continued.
"Okay let's go" Rachel said
Everyone grabbed their stuff and headed their way. Sam and Rachel went up to State Route 17 while Dean and Mike headed downtown.
