NO EXIT
A/N: Chapter switches between Evie's and Dean's POV's
Evie's POV
I walked out the back entrance of the Roadhouse with my bag walking over to the Impala where Dean and Sam were having already packed their own bags, Ellen had made us stay yesterday and this morning she'd practically dragged me down to a clinic with a less enthusiastic Dean.
I'd been completely nerve stricken as we sat in the chairs and even more so once we were called back into one of the rooms, Ellen stayed back while Dean and I went back and were able to see our baby through an ultrasound and I was never so moved by something so innocent and pure looking and was ever more surprised by the fact when I looked over at Dean he looked to be close to tears but was denying it when everyone asked how it went as we showed them the ultrasound photos.
"Los Angeles, California" Dean said as I gave him my duffel that he dropped it into the trunk before closing it.
"What's in LA?" Sam asked him.
"Young girls been kidnapped by an evil cult" Dean replied and I raised my eyebrows at him.
"Yeah?" Sam asked him again. "Girl got a name?"
"Katie Holmes" Dean replied and Sam and I laughed knowing how much of a lie this was.
"That's funny and for you, so bitchy" Sam replied just as we heard a loud crash from the Roadhouse followed by yelling.
"Whereas on the other hand, catfight" Dean said and I slapped his arm even though he ignored me and they rushed inside to see what was going on with me lagging behind them.
We walked inside and saw Ellen and Jo in the midst of one of their fights and by the sound of it I could already tell it was about, it was about Jo going hunting and of course to Ellen that was the worst of the worst that Jo could bring up.
"What are you going to do, chain me up in the basement?" Jo asked following Ellen around yelling as she pulled the chairs down from the table getting ready to open.
"You've had worst ideas than that!" Ellen yelled back removing another chair. "You don't want to stay don't, go back to school"
"I didn't belong there, I was a freak with a knife collection!" Jo screamed back and I frowned at that because I knew how that felt, Sioux Falls High was not a pleasant place especially since the entire damn town thought my dad was a troublesome old drunk and thus kind of wrote me off as well with the exception of a few boys who thought I was an easy score which of course didn't work out well for them when I figured out their intentions weren't pure and ended up breaking their nose with my fists so all in all school was a piece of shit and a reason why I never pursued higher education like Sam and opted to hunt with Dean and John.
"Yeah but getting yourself killed on some dusty back road, that where you belong?" Ellen asked her cutting me out of my thoughts then turned to us seeing Jo's eyes had drifted behind her at us. "Guys bad time" Ellen told us.
"Yes ma'am" Sam replied right away.
"Yeah we rarely drink before 10 anyway and one of us can't drink" I rolled my eyes at Dean's add on.
"Wait" Jo called out stopping us leaving. "I wanna know what they think about this"
"I don't care what they think!" Ellen protested.
"Are you guys open?" a random person asked from behind us and we turned seeing tourists in horrible matching shirts.
"No!" Jo yelled at the same time Ellen yelled "Yes!"
"We'll just check out the Arby's down the road" a guy said turning leading his family out as we watched before turning back towards Ellen and Jo with surprised looks despite the sudden craving for an Arby Chocolate Milkshake but I shook it off when the Roadhouse phone sudden started ringing and Ellen went over when Jo didn't move and answered it.
"Three weeks ago, a young girl disappears from a Philadelphia apartment" Jo said turning back to us holding us a manila folder towards Dean. "Take it, it won't bite"
"No but your mom might" Dean replied hesitating to take it from her, I rolled my eyes and took it myself flipping it open to see a whole case file built here.
"And this girl wasn't the first, over the past 80 years six women have vanished all from the same building, all young blonds only happens every decade or two so cops never eyeball the pattern" I let out a small scoff since when did cops ever do anything productive. "So were either dealing with one very old serial-killer-"
"Who put this together?" Dean asked her having read the case over my shoulder. "Ash?"
"I did it myself" Jo replied and Dean scoffed with small amount of surprise making me roll my eyes at him.
"I gotta admit, we've hit the road for a lot less" Sam commented.
"Good, you like the case so much you take it" Ellen suddenly said having finished her phone call.
"Mom-"
"Joanna Beth this family has lost enough" Ellen cut her off and I frowned knowing about her father dying while on a hunt. "I won't lose you too" she looked over at us and Dean looked down and I knew what he was thinking so I reached out and grabbed his hand squeezing it. "I just won't" she added turning back to Jo and with that we left to take this case even though it felt wrong.
Fifteen hours later we were in Philadelphia finding our way to the apartment complex after one stop and let ourselves into the missing girls apartment with Sam lockpicking our way in, once he had the door open we walked in with me playing with my newly dyed blonde hair with just as much distaste as Dean had fort it given when I emerged from the salon I knew he hated it but it was Sam's idea to draw whatever this thing we were hunting towards us much to Dean's disagreement at using me as the bait but we didn't have a lot of choice.
"I feel kind of bad, snaking Jo's case" I spoke up ruefully because I knew how much she wanted to hunt, we'd talked about a lot when I used to stay with them about getting out and hunting even teaming up but things just didn't go that way after we fell out of touch.
"Well maybe she put together a good file but could you see her out here working one of these things?" Dean replied walking past me without so much a glance. "I don't think so"
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked him and he turned to see me glaring at him.
"No offence Shortstack but Jo isn't you, she wouldn't be cut out for this" I rolled my eyes at him watching as they both took out their EMF detectors and started scanning the room. "You getting anything?" he added directing the question at Sam.
"No, not yet" Sam replied continuing to scan the room. "What's that?" he suddenly added so we spun towards him seeing him looking towards the light switch.
"What?" Dean asked as we walked towards him seeing a black goo coming out of the socket.
"Holy crap" Sam said after touching some of it and Dean quickly did the same.
"That's ectoplasm" Dean added and I frowned since this was just perfect. "Well I think I know what we're dealing with here, it's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man" I rolled my eyes raising a hand to smack the back of his head glaring at him when he glared down at me.
"Dean I've only seen this stuff like twice, I mean to make this stuff you have to be one majorly pissed-off spirit"
"Alright let's find this badass before he snags any more girls that now including my pregnant girlfriend given you made her turn blonde" Dean replied looking down at me or more so my hair with annoyance, distaste and a touch of anger.
We left shutting the door behind us making sure it appeared in order and started walking down the hall with voices suddenly coming towards us making us quickly duck out of the wall hugging the wall as they grew louder.
"It is so spacious, my friend told me that I had to come check it out-" I recognized that voice. "And I have to admit that she was right, you did a really good job with this place" we stepped out seeing Jo with the landlord.
"What are you doing here?" Dean demanded.
"There you are honey" Jo replied confusing me but it soon turned to amusement when she went to Sam's side putting her arm around his waist. "This is my boyfriend Sam, his buddy Dean and his fiancé Evelyn" I smiled at Jo's audacity as I grabbed Dean's hand entwining our fingers for show and a little for my own pleasure since we rarely did anything couply in public cause we were always working cases that required us to be work partners instead of romantic partners.
"Good to meet you, quite the gal you got here" the landlord said holding out his hand to Sam to shake.
"Thanks" Sam replied sounding near nervous and I had a feeling he wouldn't have agreed with this if she hadn't thrown him under the bus.
"So did you already check out the apartment?" Jo asked looking around at us as we looked at her surprised. "The one for rent?" she clarified.
"You bet, yes loved it great flow" Sam replied recovering.
"How'd you get in?" the landlord asked us.
"It was open" I cut in before these idjits got us in trouble.
"Now Ed, when did the last tenant move out?" Jo asked him.
"Uh…about a month ago, cut and run too stiffed me for the rent"
"Well her loss our gain because if Sammy loves it, it's good enough for me" Jo replied and Sam gave another nervous smile. "We'll take it" she held out a wad of cash towards him which he took greedily and handed the keys over.
We retrieved our bags from the car before meeting back up with Jo in the newly rented furnished apartment and started doing inventory with Dean doing his usual of checking every gun was in working order.
"I'll flip you for the sofa" Jo said looking at me and Dean.
"Does your mother even know you're here?" Dean asked back ignoring her.
"Told her I was going to Vegas" Jo argued.
"You think she's gonna buy that?" I asked her since we never could get anything past her mother.
"I'm not an idiot, I got Ash to lay a credit-card trail all the way to the casino's" she replied and I laughed because of course she dragged Ash into this and because of how I knew he'd probably inevitably cave since he sucked at keeping secrets especially from Ellen given how afraid of her he was.
"You know you shouldn't lie to your mom" Dean cut in shaking his head at her. "You shouldn't be here either"
"Dean" I snapped at him.
"Well I am so un-twist your boxers and deal with it" she replied glaring at Dean.
"Where'd you get all that money anyways?" Sam asked cutting in.
"Working at the Roadhouse"
"Hunters don't tip that well" Dean protested.
"Well they arent that good at poker either" Jo argued and I chuckled again looking down when Dean turned towards me and busied myself with cleaning out my favorite pistol and was saved by Dean's phone ringing with his usual Metallica ringtone.
"Yeah?" he said answering it. "Oh hi Ellen" we all looked up at him.
"Don't you tell her" Jo whispered going up pointing a finger at him.
"I'm telling her" he argued quietly before they both started arguing quietly until Ellen must have said something. "I haven't seen her" he finally said back into the phone. "Yeah I'm sure…absolutely" he flipped his phone shut glaring at Jo especially as an ear-splitting grin appeared on her face.
"Nice hair by the way Evie" Jo said turning to me.
"Ugh don't mention it" I replied pulling my hood up covering it. "He made me dye it" I nodded my head towards Sam.
"I'm amazed he let you do it" Jo said jerking a thumb over at Dean who was still licking his wounds from being coerced into lying to Ellen.
"I didn't, they ganged up against me" Dean replied defending himself.
"It seemed like a good idea at the time" I protested shrugging my shoulders. "But the moment we are done with this I'm re-dyeing it back to my natural brown"
"I would think so, I don't like you blonde" Dean replied and I turned to glare at him as the other two made 'ooh' noises.
"Just for that you can sleep on the couch while I bunk with Sammy" he went to say something but decided to close his mouth. "Now back to work, we need to figure out who and what were actually up against before Jo and I become this things playthings" they all nodded with Dean not happy about my word choice but we got to work with Jo showing us everything she had on the building which included blueprints.
"This place was built in 1924 it was originally a warehouse converted into apartments a few months ago" Jo explained twirling a dagger around in her hand continuously.
"Yeah what was here before 1924?" Dean asked pacing behind her.
"Nothing, empty field"
"So most likely scenario someone died bloody in the building now he's back and raising hell" Sam added.
"Already checked" Jo argued that theory. "In the past 82 years zero violent deaths unless you count a janitor who slipped on a wet floor" she added and Dean scoffed behind her as he continued to pace and I knew it was more worried than frustrated, he hated the idea of Jo being here cause it meant more responsibility on him given he always had the idea in his head that he was the one that he was responsible for all of us. "Would you sit down please?" she exclaimed without even looking back at him, Dean looked up over at Sam and I before he smiled smugly and walked over lifting my feet that I had resting in the other chair available and sat down before putting my feet back down into his lap.
"So have you checked police reports, county death records?" Dean asked her trying to be a smartass and I fought the urge to smack him upside the head again.
"Obituaries, mortuary reports and seven other sources, I know what I'm doing" Jo snapped at him defending herself making me smile again thinking how nice it was to have another girl around.
"Think the jury's still out on that one" Dean commented and I moved my knee so it hit his stomach signaling it was enough, I don't fully understand why he was so against Jo hunting especially when he'd had no quarrel with me joining him and his dad all those years ago and had even given me the idea to be honest since we talked on the phone almost everyday once they left and told me how much he wished I was with them. "Could you put the knife down, there's a pregnant girl in the room"
"Hey!" I exclaimed but Jo did as he asked and dropped the knife onto the table.
"Okay so it's something else then" Sam cut in clearing his throat as if that would cut the tension in the room. "Maybe some cursed object that brought a spirit with it"
"We gotta scan the whole building, everywhere we can get to, right?" Jo asked him.
"Right so you and me will take the top two floors" Dean cut in sending a smile her way before he stood up.
"We'd move faster if we split up" Jo argued standing up to square off with him and I scoffed since she was wasting her breath, if I couldn't talk Dean out of these type of things there was no way she was.
"Well this isn't negotiable" Dean shot back.
"What about her, your gonna let your pregnant girlfriend go alone?" Jo asked and I threw my hands out offended by that.
"Of course not but I trust in her abilities more than I do yours since she has experience but even she's not going alone, she's with Sam" Dean replied and I looked up a little shocked that he wasn't demanding I be at his side at all times with this one but I guess it was smarter to spilt up into pairs, Jo glared at him but eventually realised it was futile and she rolled her eyes moving away from him and Dean shook his head before turning to me. "I don't like this but I need you to go with Sam"
"Dean it'll be okay, okay?" I asked touching his arm.
"Stay within Sam's eyesight at all times, you understand and Sam you let anything happen to her-"
"Dean I won't let anything happen to her or the baby, I swear man" Sam cut him off and I smiled up at him before turning back to Dean and moved wrapping my arms around his neck as his came around my waist.
"Take it easy on Jo please, she's been wanting to hunt as long as I've known her and you gave me the chance to prove myself as a hunter so let her" he sighed but didn't reply as we stepped apart then went our separate ways.
Dean's POV
I watched Eve leave with Sam with mixed feelings, I knew Sam could protect her just as well as I could if anything turned up but didn't mean I had to like it but I wasn't leaving Jo to her own devices either so we were walking the halls in silence scanning everything we could with EMF.
"So you gonna buy me dinner?" Jo suddenly spoke up.
"What are you talking about?" I asked momentary looking at her before returning my eyes back to the EMF detector.
"It's just if your gonna ride me this close, it's only decent you buy me dinner" she replied and I rolled my eyes since she couldn't be serious to even attempt to flirt right now…or ever when she was supposedly friends with Evie since they were teens.
"Oh that's hilarious but I kind of have a girlfriend remember who is very hormonally pregnant right now" I spat back at her. "And you know it's bad enough I lied to your mom but if you think I'm letting you out of my sight…I don't know if you've noticed but you're the spirits type"
"Exactly" she replied making me turn to her.
"You wanna be bait?" I asked her.
"Quickest way to draw it out and you know it, in fact you were letting your pregnant girlfriend and my friend do just that by letting her dye her hair blond"
"Not my idea and as I said hormonally pregnant girlfriend that had my brother on her side meaning nothing was gonna stop her and until you showed up I was ready to chain her to the car while we took care of this" she turned as if surprised by that and I chuckled to myself because I was already regretting this.
"What?" she demanded.
"I'm so regretting this" I admitted.
"You know I've had it up to here with your crap" she argued stopping so I stopped as well and turned towards her.
"Excuse me?"
"Your chauvinist crap, you think women can't do the job"
"Sweetheart this isn't gender studies, women can do the job fine and I know that because Eve has saved my ass countless of times which goes against your thoughts because she's a damn near amazing huntress from years of hard ass training it's amateurs who I know can't you got no experience, what you do have is a bunch of half-baked romantic notions that some barflies put in your head"
"Now you sound like my mother"
"Oh and that's a bad thing?" I asked her coolly because I wished I could have what she had, hell I didn't even know what was gonna happen with Eve right now since we had absolutely no plan for this baby or our lives and a part of me wished it wasn't even happening because I didn't know any life aside from hunting, she did and she was willing to throw it away to become a hunter. "Because let me tell you-"
"What?" she demanded cutting me off.
"Forget it" I shook my head.
"No, you started this" she argued.
"Jo you got options no one in their right mind chooses this life, my dad started me in this when I was so young I wish I could do something else" I told her truthfully. "Especially now" I added thinking about Eve and the baby cause I didn't know what kind of life I could give them.
"You love the job"
"Yeah but I'm a little twisted" I replied playing it off.
"You don't think I'm a little twisted too?" she argued.
"Jo you got a mother that worries about you, who wants something more for you, those are good things you don't throw things like that away, might be hard to find later and all you have to do is look at Evelyn, do you really think she enjoys being away from her dad only seeing him every blue moon or the situation we've found ourselves in?" I asked her then turned signaling I was done with this conversation and got back to the search but I turned back once I'd turned a corner but noticed she was no longer behind me and saw her turn sharply as if startled by something. "What?" I asked and she looked up.
"I'm not sure" she replied her voice shaking so I walked towards her immediately catching something in the air around her, I was a smell and it was familiar but I couldn't place it.
"You smell that?" I asked her.
"What is that, a gas leak?"
"No, something else…I know it just can't put my finger on it" I looked around as she bent down scanning over the vent and the EMF picked up on something glowing with a positive reading. "Mazel Tov, you just found your first spirit" I commented putting mine in my pocket.
"It's inside the vent" she said as I bent down beside her pulling out a torch to look inside.
"Here" I passed her the torch grabbing out a screwdriver and removed the screws pulling the grate off then grabbed the torch back and had a better look seeing something but it was just out of view to tell what it was. "There's something in there, here" I passed her the torch again then reached in up to my shoulder to reach for it as she leaned in a little too close for comfort and if Eve was here she would not be happy even if Jo was her friend but finally grabbed whatever it was and pulled it out holding up blond hair with a chuck of scalp still attached. "Somebody's been keeping souvenirs"
Evie's POV
Sam and I checked the whole bottom level of the building but didn't get a single reading so we returned to the apartment and were surprised when Dean and Jo were already back and by what they'd found but I refused to see it knowing it would probably have me throwing up so I left them to get some sleep given I was exhausted and they all told me to have the bed which I'd intended on having anyway so I went into the bedroom and changed into some sleep shorts and pulled a t-shirt out of Dean's bag pulling it on before climbing into the bed turning off the lamp and closed my eyes waiting for sleep to greet me when I heard the door open and footsteps stumbling towards the bed in the darkness.
"Crap" I heard Dean curse as he tripped over something making me chuckle quietly before the bed dipped as he climbed in settling beside me so I rolled to my other side so we were facing each other.
"Thought I told you, you were sleeping on the couch"
"Your never serious about that" he replied and I knew he knew that because I never got a good night's sleep when we didn't share a bed.
"So how'd it go with Jo?" I asked him.
"Exactly like you think, she may have discovered the spirits presence in the vents but it doesn't mean she's cut out for this"
"I wasn't, remember my first few hunts Dean I had no idea what I was doing and was constantly messing up nearly costing you and your dad the hunt"
"You were new"
"Yeah and so is she so take it easy, she'll learn just like I did and then it's up to her to decide whether this life is really for her and only she can make that decision for herself Dean" I replied and heard his deep sigh after I was done.
"Why do you have to make sense all the time?" he asked making me laugh.
"Because I'm always right" I replied lifting my hand to stroke it over his cheek. "I love that you care Dean and want to protect everyone from what we've been through but you can't protect everyone from their own decisions"
"I know, can't hurt to tell them their idiots though" I laughed again shaking my head at him.
"You're an Idjit" I said before turning back to my other side letting him wrap his arm around my waist and hold me.
"And idiot that you love enough to have a baby with" he shot back moving his hand down to rest over my stomach making a wide smile settle onto my face as I moved my hand next to his.
"Didn't have a lot of choice did I" I joked looking over my shoulder at him. "But I wouldn't change it for the world, I love the idea that were finally on the road to our happiness" I turned onto my back and he moved to accommodate the new position leaning up on one arm the other wrapped over my waist running it over my arm sending shivers along it.
"Do you remember when you were talking about 'what if's'?" I frowned looking up at him.
"Don't…don't worry I was over-thinking-"
"You weren't, you were being practical because we should be thinking about it and the chance that something could go wrong which leaves us with the question of what were gonna do, if we continue this or get out"
"Get out…you mean stop hunting?" I asked shocked because I never thought I'd hear Dean ever say that he'd give up hunting.
"It's an option" he shrugged but by the tone of his voice I knew it wasn't, Dean loved hunting it was his life and I could never ask him to give it up…at least not completely.
"No it isn't" I shook my head and he looked down at me confused. "You love this Dean, I can't ask you to give it up not even for this" I rested my hand over my stomach.
"Your not asking me Shortstack, I don't want to leave you with all the responsibility-"
"Dean we'll figure it out but right now is not really the time for this deep of conversation, we'll talk after this hunt"
"You realize we say that a lot but never follow through" he replied making my frown deepen. "But okay I'm beat anyway" he laid down beside me pulling me to partially lay against his chest right as I yawned hearing him laugh. "Goodnight Eve"
"Mm night Dean" I mumbled cuddling into his chest more with my head resting perfectly in the crook of his neck which always seemed to be meant for me.
The next morning I woke up before Dean and tried to maneuver my way out of Dean's protective arms but they locked around me as soon as I went to remove his arm pulling me backwards against his chest, we'd moved it our sleep ending up spooning instead of cuddling.
"Where do you think your going?"
"To work, we've already slept in longer than we usually would"
"I'm sure we can spare a few more minutes" he argued making me laugh especially when I felt his morning erection pressing against my butt.
"Did you bring your gun to bed or are you just happy to see me?" I joked turning around so we were facing each other.
"I'm ecstatic to see you and wake up next to you"
"I would hope so or do you have another knocked up girlfriend you'd rather-"
"Don't even go there" he protested cutting me off right before crashing his lips against mine, I smiled into the kiss as he pulled me up to straddle his lap.
"Should we really be doing this, were in the middle of a hunt-"
"Like that's ever stopped us before" he argued attempting to kiss me again but I leaned back pushing against his chest. "What's wrong?"
"It's just Sam and Jo are out there-"
"Evie come on, we've literally had sex with Sam asleep in the bed next to us so tell me what's really going on"
"Alright fine" I sighed exhaling deeply. "It's…my body"
"Your body?" he asked tilting his head in that adorable confused way. "It can't be your time of the month-"
"Dean be serious please" I replied rolling my eyes at him. "I mean like this and these" I pointed at my stomach and breasts which were larger than before. "They're not getting any smaller and we haven't exactly been intimate since we found out I was pregnant and I can't help think it's because you don't find me attractive-"
"Hey whoa when have I ever given you a reason to doubt that I don't find you beautiful"
"Dean-"
"Evelyn Singer you are the sexist, beautiful and most alluring woman I have ever met and no changes to your body is ever going to change that for me" I smiled hearing him say that.
"You sure about that?" I asked and his response was to grab the hem of the shirt I was wearing and pulled it over my head and I didn't resist but once it was gone I was a little self-conscious.
"Your beautiful and if anything I love your body right now especially those" he replied nodding to my breasts and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Suck up"
"Complainer" he shot back laughing as he sat up so he could crash his lips back against mine as the rest of our clothes came off and we made love…a lot.
Once we were both well spent we pulled on fresh clothes after a quick shower then walked out of the bedroom seeing Jo sitting at the table twirling her knife in her hand again already up and back to work.
"Morning princesses" she smiled up at us as we walked out.
"Where's Sam?" was the first thing Dean asked her.
"Went to get coffee"
"Great" I mumbled since that no doubt meant he'd get me some decaffeinated and healthy, I loved Sam but his insistence that I had to cut out coffee and anything he deemed unhealthy for the baby was driving me nuts. "Did you sleep at all?" I asked Jo since she didn't look like she had.
"I didn't, just been going over everything" she replied as I took a seat with Dean standing behind me placing his hands on my shoulders kneading them while Jo continued to twirl the same dagger she had been yesterday, Dean suddenly moved grabbing his duffel bag and pulled out one of his knives pulling it out of it's sheath and holding it out towards her with the handle towards her.
"Here"
"What's this for?" she asked him confused taking it.
"It'll work a lot better than that little pig-sticker you're twirling around" Dean replied and I turned to stare back at him with a frown since I knew the real meaning behind the dagger Jo had been playing with this entire time so when she held it out towards him I saw him take it and look at the engraved initials on the blade.
"William Anthony Harvelle" Jo read out with tears brimming in her eyes.
"Sorry, my mistake" Dean said handing it back to her taking his back putting it back into the sheath before placing it back into his duffel.
"What do you…what do you remember about your dad?" Jo suddenly asked looking at Dean. "I mean what's the first thing that pops into your head?" she asked him and Dean shook his head. "Come on, tell me" she encouraged.
"I was six or seven and he took me shooting for the first time you know bottles on a fence that kind of thing, I bulls-eyed every one of them" Dean told her moving to sit on the chair beside me and I smiled at his memory as it made me think about what he would be like as a father, if he was anything like my dad or his he'd be a great one. "He gave me this smile, like…I don't know"
"He must have been proud" Jo replied smiling at him and Dean returned a small smile of his own.
"What about your dad?" Dean asked her.
"I was still in pig-tails when my dad died but I remember him coming home from a hunt, he'd burst through that door like Steve McQueen or something and he'd sweep me up in his arms and I'd breathe in that old leather jacket of his and my mom who was sour and pissed from the minute he left she started smiling again and we were…we were a family" she replied and Dean and I turned to each other sharing a look. "You wanna know why I wanna do the job?" she asked and we turned back to her. "For him, its my way of being close to him now tell me what's so wrong with that?" she asked.
"Nothing" Dean and I replied at the same time just before Sam walked in.
"Where's the coffee?" Dean asked him straight away.
"There are cops outside" Sam replied. "Another girl disappeared" he added and we all looked around sharing looks.
Dean left to find out what went down and who went missing while Sam, Jo and I stayed back to look more into the buildings history hoping to find any new information because none of this was making a lick of sense.
"Theresa Ellis, apartment 2-F her boyfriend reported her missing around dawn" Dean announced coming back shutting the door behind him before walking towards where we all were hunched over the table with photos, files and the building blueprints.
"And her apartment?" I asked once he came to stand beside me.
"Cracks all over the plaster, walls, ceiling, there was ectoplasm too"
"Between that and tuft of hair, I'd say the suckers coming from the walls" Sam commented.
"Yeah but who is it?" I asked looking around. "Buildings history is totally clean"
"Maybe were looking in the wrong place" Jo replied grabbing a photo holding it up.
"What do you mean?" Dean asked her.
"Check this out" she turned the photo she'd grabbed so we could see but it didn't look like anything special just an empty field.
"An empty field?" Sam said shaking his head not getting it either.
"It's where this building was built, take a look at the one next door…the windows" Jo clarified to help us see what she'd seen.
"Bars" I stated when I saw it.
"We're next door to a prison?" Dean asked and she shrugged before ringing Ash since he could get the information a lot faster than we could.
"Thanks Ash and if you breathe a word of this to my mom…that's right I will, with pilers" we heard Jo say before she hung up and I couldn't help laughing. "Okay Moyamensing prison built in 1835, torn down in 1963 and get this they used to execute people by hanging them in the empty field next door" I scoffed impressed.
"Well then we need a list of all the people executed there" Sam replied.
"Ash is already on it" Jo argued so we nodded and could only wait before Ash finally sent the list through and it was a lot longer than we anticipated.
"A hundred fifty-seven names?" Sam asked as shocked as we all were as he scanned through the list.
"We gotta narrow that down" Dean replied stating the obvious.
"Yeah" we both agreed with him anyway.
"Or else were gonna be digging up a hell of a lot of stiffs" Dean added and I frowned at the thought but frowned when Sam clicked on one of the names.
"Herman Webster Mudgett?" Sam asked himself.
"Yeah?" Jo asked him not following.
"Wasn't that H. H Holmes' real name?" Sam asked looking at me and Dean.
"You gotta be kidding me" Dean replied and we shared a look before we went into further detail on H. H Holmes murders finding a news article that confirmed that he was killed in this field. "Yup, Holmes was executed at Moyamensing May 7th 1896" Dean read looking up at Dean once he was done.
"H. H Holmes' himself" Sam replied smiling to himself. "Come on, I mean what are the odds"
"Who is this guy?" Jo asked us.
"The term 'multi-murderer' they coined it to describe Holmes, he was America's first serial killer before anybody knew what a serial killer was" Dean replied.
"He confessed to 27 murders but some put the death toll at over a hundred" Sam added sounding almost a little too thrilled.
"And his victim of choice: pretty petite blonds, he uh…he used chloroform to kill them" Dean said before looking up with his eyes widening. "Which is what I smelled in the hallway last night, at his place cops found human remains…bone fragments and long locks of bloody blond hair, boy you sure know how to pick them" Dean added looking over at Jo.
"We just find the bones, salt them and burn them right?" Jo asked us.
"Well its not that easy" I spoke up remembering one of the most memorable things I knew about Holmes. "His body is buried in town but it's encased in a couple tons of concrete"
"What…why?" Jo asked.
"The story goes that he didn't want anybody mutilating his corpse because you know that's what he used to do" Dean replied.
"You know something?" Sam suddenly said then scoffed and stood up. "We might have an ever bigger problem than that"
"How does this get bigger?" Jo asked him.
"Holmes built an apartment building in Chicago, they called it the murder castle the whole place was a death factory they had trapdoors, acid vats, quicklime pits, he built these secret chambers inside the walls he'd lock his victims in keep them alive for days some he'd suffocate others he let starve to death"
"So Theresa could still be alive, she could be inside these walls?" Jo asked us.
"We need sledgehammers, crowbars we gotta smash these walls anywhere thick enough to hide a girl…Evie your with me this time"
"What why?" I asked him surprised he wasn't insisting Jo was with him.
"Just because" he replied but I didn't miss the look he sent my way…more so my hair meaning now he was even more worried about the fact that I'd dyed it blonde because it meant this sick ghost was after me as well.
"Jo go with Dean and Evie as well, I'll be fine on my own" Sam added making both Jo and I roll our eyes.
"Chauvinist asses" I cursed seeing both of them glare at me but I just smiled innocently moving to get the sledge hammers and Dean was right there with me as we went down to the Impala.
"Evie-"
"I know the drill already Dean, stay by your side and don't do anything stupid I'm not an idiot and you've drilled it into my head enough times over the last few weeks if not years" he rolled his eyes at me but I saw the hint of a smile on his face as he opened up the trunk and pulled out everything we'd need.
"Well listen to it this time, okay especially now" I nodded my head grabbing the crowbar off him to lend a hand as he closed the trunk then we returned to the apartment and busted a hole into one of the walls and the three of us slipped inside while Sam went to the first floor to check.
Dean was leading the way with a flashlight and his EMF with me behind him and Jo behind me on the phone to Sam so that we were in contact with each other, it was a really tight squeeze especially for Dean but less so for me and Jo despite the extra pounds I'd been putting on lately.
"Okay, call us as soon as you check the southeast wall" we heard Jo say before she hung up. "Sam's almost done with the first floor" she told us and I saw Dean jump having hit some cobwebs making me laugh a little. "Hasn't found Jack-squat either" we turned another corner but Dean stopped.
"What is it?" I asked trying to see around him.
"It's too narrow, I can't go any further" he replied trying to turn around.
"Let me see" I protested and pushed my way forward hugging the wall to slip past him.
"What…what are you doing?" Dean asked then groaned. "Should have cleaned the pipes more" he added and I turned to look at him over my shoulder.
"What?" I asked having heard him.
"I…wish the pipes were clean" he replied trying to play it off.
"Shut up" I elbowed him in the rips hearing Jo snickering behind us. "We can fit in there" I added talking about me and Jo.
"What…you's arent going in there by yourselves"
"You got a better idea?" Jo asked him backing me up.
"The…" he cut himself off meaning he had nothing so I pushed forward anyway. "Eve no" he tried to grab my arm but I was already out of reach. "Evie I'm serious get back here" I ignored him.
"I'll go with her" I heard Jo say and Dean grunt again as she pushed past him as well following behind me as we narrowly fit and found out way past the narrow turning a corner and continued on following the passage before my phone rang and I rolled my eyes since he couldn't give us a little bit of faith and trust.
"Where are you?" Dean demanded as soon as I picked up and Jo went around me to take the lead.
"By the north wall" I replied following behind her until we hit a dead end but saw there was an opening that would take us down to the lower floor. "We're about to head down an air duct" I relayed to Dean as Jo started making her way down.
"No, no, no stay up here" he protested.
"Dean we have to find this girl, don't we?" I shot back at him. "We're okay"
"Evelyn no" I rolled my eyes. "Come back this way" he ordered but Jo dropped and I looked down.
"Uh little late for that" I told him seeing Jo gesturing me down but I wasn't sure I could do that.
"Come on" she urged.
"Evelyn I'm not kidding around" Dean said in my ear and I sighed.
"Dean I'm okay" I protested then carefully followed Jo down the arid cut.
"Son of a bitch, alright I'm heading to you's and next time I'm handcuffing you to me" I rolled my eyes jumping the little bit down landing next to Jo, we started walking trying to squeeze between some pipes but we turned hearing a noise coming from beside our heads and saw the black goo suddenly come pouring out of the walls.
"Oh god" Jo and I cursed at the same time.
"What is it?" I heard Dean ask but wasn't able to reply as a ghostly hand suddenly came out towards us and everything went black.
Dean's POV
"Eve?" I asked hearing nothing but static. "Evelyn?!" I heard a scream reply and took off down the stairs to the next floor then looked around for the right wall. "Eve, Jo?" I asked hoping and praying to hear a reply but got nothing so I swung the sledgehammer and put a hole in the wall before sticking my head in looking around and my eyes settled on Eve's phone sitting on the ground. "Eve!" I yelled again hoping she was just messing with me. "Jo!" deep down though I knew she wasn't.
I turned and ran down the hall in haste to figure out something as I tried not to panic, I shouldn't have let them go alone…stupid and now I could lose everything, I stopped when I crashed into someone ready to apologize and explain the sledgehammer but was relieved but not relived when it was Sam.
"Whoa!"
"He's got Eve and Jo" I told him before I continued walking.
"What, how'd that happen?" he asked following me.
"I wasn't with them!" I exclaimed. "I left 'em alone, damn it!"
"Okay, okay look we'll find them" he argued trying to calm me down.
"Where?" I snapped.
"Inside the walls" he replied as if that was going to give me any reassurance.
"We've been inside the walls all night, none of the other girls are there, they won't either!" I argued as we went back to the apartment.
"Okay lets take a beat and think about this, maybe we got Holmes' m.o. wrong" Sam said heading to our research.
"Yeah well we better frigging think fast" I added right as my phone and pulled it out. "Yeah"
"You lied to me, she's there" Ellen said straight away.
"Ellen" I turned to look back at Sam.
"Oh Ash told me everything, he's a genius but he folds like a cheap suit now you put my damn daughter on the phone"
"She's gonna have to call you back, she's taking care of feminine business" I shook my head cause that sounded so weak.
"Yeah right, where is she?" I sighed hesitating. "Where is she!" Ellen yelled and I knew I couldn't lie.
"Look we'll get her back" I told her knowing it wasn't going to placate her anymore than Sam's attempts had placated me.
"Get her back, back from what?"
"The spirit we're hunting, it took her and Evie" I told her barely containing my own worry.
"Oh my god"
"She'll be okay I promise" I told her knowing again that nothing I said was going to help.
"You promise?" she asked. "That is not the first time I've heard that from a Winchester" I frowned confused.
"What?"
"If anything happens to her-"
"It won't, I won't let it…Ellen I'm sorry I really am"
"I'm taking the first flight out, I'll be there in a few hours and I'm calling Bobby" she said then hung up before I could say anything.
"Damn it!" I exclaimed turning to face Sam again.
"Don't beat yourself up, there's nothing you could've done" Sam said again trying to help but nothing would until I had Evie back and I knew Jo was okay.
"Tell me you got something or I'm a dead man" I asked him knowing that I was if we didn't find them, one Ellen would kill me and two Bobby would likely help her finish the job.
"Uh maybe" he replied nodding sounding too thrilled. "Look…you look at the layout of the Holmes' murder castle there's other torture chambers inside the walls right?" I nodded muttering 'right' "But there's one we haven't considered yet, the one in his basement"
"This building doesn't have a basement" I told him not seeing how any of this was gonna help get them back.
"Your right it doesn't but I just noticed this, beneath the foundation looks like part of an old sewer system that hasn't been used for-"
"Let's go" I told him before he could even finish and headed for the door.
Evie's POV
I felt myself slowly start coming to and my eyes fluttered open only to met by almost darkness and I gasped lifting my arms to feel around and took note of every detail I could and it was enough to make me start hyperventilating when I realised I was in a small box of some kind which sent my claustrophobia into hyper drive, I don't know why I had always been afraid of tight enclosed spaces it just appeared out of the blue one day when I was six.
I remember the first attack like it was yesterday especially at a time like this, Dean, Sam and I were playing hide 'n hunt a came we'd came up with to further teach ourselves our family legacies and I was hiding in the upstairs closet back at home when the door wouldn't open and I remember feeling like the walls were just closing in much like they were now and I'd screamed out for help which came from my dad kicking the door down and pulling me into his arms but I knew this wasn't the case this time so I continued to hyperventilate before trying to calm myself down but before I could I heard something clang from outside whatever holding box I was in and I peered out the small slit.
"Hello?" I heard someone call out.
"Jo?" I called back trying to keep my breathing under control.
"Evie?" she replied.
"Yeah" I responded right before we heard sniffling and more sounds coming from one of the other containments.
"Is…is anybody there?" a new voice called out that I didn't recognize.
"Your names Theresa?" Jo asked.
"Yes" the girl replied and I sighed since some rescue this turned out to be.
"This won't make you feel better but we're here to rescue you" Jo said and I leaned back since just looking out was enough to make me want to pass out again because it reminded me I was trapped.
"Oh god…he's out there, he's gonna kill us" Theresa panicked.
"No he won't, we're getting out" Jo argued and I nodded knowing that I couldn't panic right now.
"She's right, our friends are looking for us they'll find us" I added not knowing who I was really trying to placate here but I meant it because Dean wouldn't stop looking until he did and I didn't care once he did and got to hear the 'I told you so' because anything was better than this, Dean refusing to talk to me was better than this.
"Oh god, he's here!" Theresa screamed when we heard footsteps and I inched back towards the slit to look out hoping it was Dean and Sam.
"Shh…just be quiet" Jo told her and she listened making an unsettling silence fill the room as I looked around for any sign of what the noise was from and judging my the quietness it definitely wasn't my boys coming to the rescue because Dean would be screaming at this point.
A loud ear piercing scream suddenly started and I knew straight away it was Jo so I hit my fists against the metal door hoping to draw it's attention away from her but it never came for me and other then Jo's screams it was silent again.
"Jo…Jo, what happened?!" I screamed out to her. "Jo!" I kicked my foot against it.
"He…he grabbed my hair ripping some off"
"Son of a bitch" I cursed kicking at the door again because we couldn't sit around and wait for them to find us.
"Your baby's first words are going to be that phase" Jo said trying to make light of this shit but it wasn't not working.
"I…can't…be…stuck…in…here…any…longer!" I said kicking with each word.
"Still claustrophobic?" Jo asked but I didn't reply and instead felt my breaths start coming out in short again.
"Oh god, this is…this is all my fault I should've listened to Dean…I can't….I can't do this anymore"
"Eve…Evie…Evelyn!" Jo called out when I wasn't listening and I finally calmed down enough to listen. "We'll be okay, we'll get out of this and you can apologize to Dean all you like"
"He's gonna…chain me to baby from now on, he's neve gonna trust me!" I couldn't stop it was all just coming out like word vomit. "He's just starting to come around to the baby and I had to go and do this…I've probably lost it and he's never going to forgive me, he'll hate me-"
"Evelyn stop, your fine…your both fine okay, Dean loves you and he's not going hate you, he could never hate you, now you need to shut the hell up so I can think" I was surprised by her outburst and for the fact that it seemed to work but more so could he was back and talking into Jo's compartment again and I wondered the tiniest bit on why he wasn't interested in me…maybe because I wasn't a natural blond…could ghosts know that shit. "Go to hell!" I heard Jo yell before silence and then a scream from Holmes'. "How do you like that, pure iron you creepy ass son of a bitch!" I scoffed.
"Now who's saying it" I joked more so to keep myself from slipping back into a panic attack now he was gone again. "Jo, you okay?" I asked her.
"Yeah"
"Is he gone?" Theresa asked and I'd almost forgotten she was here…some hero rescue this was.
"I don't know…I…" Jo started to reply but cut herself off with another scream.
"Jo!" I called kicking out again especially as I heard Holmes' ghost 'shushing' when Jo's screams stopped. "Hey over here you son of a bitch!"
"Hey!" I heard someone yell and my eyes lit up knowing that voice anywhere, a gunshot went off and Holmes disappeared with a scream. "Evelyn!" Dean called out at the same time Sam called out for Jo.
"Here" I called out to him hitting the door of the one I was in and saw Dean fast approaching it grabbing something to pry the locks off.
"Come on!" he exclaimed when they resisted but he finally got them unlocked. "Sam" he called out and handed his tool over to Sam before opening the door and helped me out pulling me straight into his arms cupping the back of my head pulling me as tight against his as he dared.
"Dean" I cried letting the tears fall, I usually would protest this but everything hit me harder this time which I could probably blame on the pregnancy hormones but right now I didn't care about being seen as weakness.
"Are you okay?" he asked not even letting me go.
"I…I don't know" I replied honestly and felt his whole body tense understanding the meaning behind it.
"You're okay" he assured me but I could tell it was also a hopeful pray from himself. "Your both okay" I couldn't respond to that.
"You alright?" we heard Sam ask Jo.
"Been better" she coughed out as Dean and I let go of each other but he kept my hand in his as we watched Sam move over to the one Theresa was in and he pried that door open as well. "Let's get the hell out of here before he comes back"
"Actually I don't think your leaving here just yet" Dean told her and I turned to meet his eyes confused and shocked.
"What?" Jo asked sounding just the same.
"Remember when I said you being bait was a bad plan?" he replied looking at her. "Now it's kind of the only one we got" he added before turning back to Sam seeing Theresa all over him taking comfort that he'd rescued her.
We got Theresa out before returning with Dean explaining how his plan was going to go, Jo was going to sit in the room and wait for Holmes to appear again and into just the right spot which he did slowly creeping up behind Jo.
"Now!" Dean yelled out and Jo moved for cover as Dean and Sam both fired hitting the ropes keeping up the bag of rock salt we'd set up and the salt fell out completing the circle of salt that trapped Holmes in as Dean quickly pulled Jo the rest of the way out closing the grate as Holmes screamed and panicked from being trapped.
"Scream all you want you dick but there's no way your stepping over that salt!" Jo screamed at him making me smile since she just might be a hunter yet.
We let another door slam down hopefully trapping him for all eternity before returning to the surface and it never felt so good to see and feel sunlight, Dean quickly disappeared saying he needed to get something leaving me with Jo and Sam.
"So this job as glamorous as you thought it would be?" Sam asked pacing around to stand beside Jo.
"Well except for all the pee-your-pants terror, yeah sure but that Theresa girls gonna live a life because of us, it's worth it isn't it?" she asked and all I could do was nod since that had always been the best part about this job.
"Yeah, yeah it is" Sam agreed with words.
"Hey what if somebody finds that sewer down there?" Jo suddenly asked looking back down at the sewer entrance. "Or a storm washes the salt away?"
"Both very fine points which is why we're waiting here" Sam replied.
"For what?" Jo and I asked at the same time and our response didn't come from Sam but the cement truck backing towards us.
"For that" Sam replied then guided Dean back. "Ho!" he called out when the pourer was over the hole, Dean jumped out coming over to us as Sam set up the pourer pointing it straight down the hole.
"You ripped off a cement truck?" Jo asked him.
"I'll give it back" Dean shrugged before going over and flipped the switch that sent thousands of gallons of cement down the hole sealing it off hopefully forever. "Well that ought to keep him down there till hell freezes over" Dean added before swinging his arm over my shoulders pulling me against him again and once again I didn't protest resting my head against his chest breathing in his gunpower and aftershave scent that was iconically Dean and that I loved so much.
We found a motel to rest for the night and after a long hot shower I was laying in bed with Dean pressed up against his chest, we'd once again had to see a doctor with us saying I'd fallen over and just being paranoid new parents and got checked on but the doctor we saw assured us that everything was fine but it didn't seem to ease any of my worry or Dean's because we both knew now more than ever that if something didn't change I was going to lose this baby but neither of us was ready to say anything so we were laid up in silence and for once it was awkward so I knew I had to be the one to speak up first.
"I'm sorry" I apologized running my fingers in random patterns against his stomach as I laid against his side head on his shoulder.
"For?" he pressed.
"For not listening to you, for putting my life and that of our unborn baby in danger, for being stupidly reckless for no reason that my own selfishness because I haven't wanted to admit that things are changing, that I'm not becoming utterly and completely useless, for letting my fears that without hunting you wouldn't need me-" I couldn't stop, it was coming up like word vomit again and I would have kept going admitting everything if he didn't cup his hand over my mouth.
"I'll always need you Eve so don't you ever think that there would ever be a time where I don't need you and as for the rest I think it sounds like you've punished yourself enough but from now on I'm handcuffing you to 'Baby's' steering wheel and confiscating all your bobby pins, paperclips…anything else that hair brained mind can come up with to do this again"
"I just never wanted us to change but we have, nothing is the same and I don't know how I fit in your life anymore Dean"
"You fit exactly where you are now, I can't do any of this without you Evie"
"Yes you could, in fact you'd do it better because you wouldn't have to worry about me all the time…your dad was right, mine was right we arent right for each other-"
"Hey don't talk like that okay, nobody can be right about us except us and I for one know that everything about us is right because without you I got nothing"
"You have Sam" I argued.
"Not in the same way, I love Sam he's my brother but nothing compares to how much I love you Eve"
"I love you too Dean but-" I was cut off by someone knocking on the door and Dean groaned hating the interruption as he got up and headed towards the door.
"Sam this better be-" he cut off so I turned and saw Ellen standing there and her expression sent me all the way back to my teens, she was one pissed off momma bear.
"Where is she!?" she demanded glaring at Dean and it looks could kill he'd be dead on the floor.
"Uh…next door" Dean replied sounding nervous and with a hint of fear.
"Get dressed, you're driving us back right now!" she told him before leaving and Dean turned to me but I just shrugged and got dressed pulling jeans and one of Dean's shirts on stuffing the rest of my belongings messily into my duffel bag as Dean did the same before walking out seeing the rest already waiting by the Impala and we all got in, in silence and it stayed that way the entire drive until Dean so stupidly disturbed it.
"Boy you really weren't kidding about flying out, were you?" I rolled my eyes looking between Sam and Jo as we were squished in the back seat since Ellen had taken the front especially as Ellen didn't reply or even look his way. "How about we listen to some music?" Dean said after breathing out heavily and turned the radio on only for Ellen to turn it straight back off and Jo, Sam and I shared more looks. "This is gonna be a long drive"
It was morning by the time we arrived back at the Roadhouse and Ellen was straight out of the car going around to Jo's side pulling her out along with her bag and headed straight inside with Dean, Sam and I following despite me knowing that right now we should just leave Ellen be.
"Ellen" Dean called out stopping her. "This is my fault okay, I lied to you and I'm sorry but Jo did good out there, I think her dad would be proud"
"Don't you dare say that, not you" Ellen said cutting him off and I frowned grabbing Dean's hand ready to drag him out because Ellen's look honestly was scaring the crap out of me right now, I'd never seen her this angry. "I need a moment with my daughter alone and Evelyn I suggest you call your father" my eyes widened realizing she'd bloody told him.
We walked out without another word and I sighed pulling out my phone that Dean had returned having found it the wall when Holmes grabbed us and I pressed the third number key which speed dialed dad's home phone and as if he was waiting for my call it picked up within the first ring.
"Evelyn Robin Singer" I flinched as always when he used my full name. "What the hell are you thinking kid?!"
"Look dad-"
"Don't 'look dad' me, I heard from Ellen that Dean had put your life-"
"Whoa hold up Dean didn't put my life in danger in fact it was me, I stupidly put myself in danger so don't blame Dean but I promise this isn't gonna happen again-"
"Your right it isn't because your coming home and there is no arguing about this, I will track you down and drag you-"
"Dad just calm down" I cut him off. "One you need to watch your blood pressure and two you can't physically drag me back, I'm twenty five-"
"I don't care Evelyn, you are pregnant and your not taking it seriously so you need a major life correction"
"Dad believe me I know I screwed up and I've already promised Dean that I won't do it again and I meant it…I could have lost the baby and that shocked me into realizing that I can't continue hunting" I replied and saw Dean's eyes widen since we hadn't gotten to finish our conversation last night so I hadn't even gotten to tell him this. "That doesn't mean I'm coming home though, from now on I'm strictly research bound and I don't leave our motel room except for food and never without escort" I added looking at Dean the entire time really talking to him then my Dad. "And if I fail to do so then and only then will you be allowed to drag me all the way to Sioux Falls dad"
"Evelyn-"
"Give me one more chance daddy" I cut him off and purposely through the 'daddy' card in their knowing it was the old man's weak spot when it came to him doing what I wanted. "I can't be apart from Dean"
"I hate this" I heard him say and knew I won. "Just be careful babycakes, I don't want to lose you or my grandchild"
"I know daddy and I promise no more risks, I swear" I replied then said goodbye and hung up.
"Suck up" Dean said as soon as I'd hung up and I looked up seeing him smirking.
"Complainer" I shot back at him before sharing a small laugh. "I meant it thought, from now on I'm only on the research team"
"I'll hold you too it Shortstack" he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me to him pressing his lips to my forehead leaving a soft gentle kiss before stepping back right as the door to the Roadhouse slammed open and Jo came storming outside and took one look at us before heading in another direction.
"Jo?" I called pulling out of Dean's arms to follow her and Dean followed me.
"That bad, huh?" he asked her.
"Not right now" she replied.
"What happened?" Dean continued to press but I sensed something wasn't right, I'd never seen Jo like this either. "Hey talk to us?" Dean went to grab her arm but she threw her arm away from his.
"Get off me!" she exclaimed.
"Sorry, see you around" Dean said grabbing my hand pulling me towards the Impala.
"Dean…Evie" Jo called us back so we stopped turning back to her. "Turns out my dad had a partner on his last hunt, funny he usually worked alone this guy did too…but guess my father figured he could trust him, mistake the guy screwed up got my dad killed"
"What does this have to do with-?" Dean started to ask her not seeing the same thing I'd realised as soon as she started.
"It was your father Dean!" she exclaimed cutting his question off.
"What?" Dean asked disbelief clear in his voice.
"Why do you think John never came back, never told you about us because he couldn't look my mother in the eye after that, that's why" Jo replied ready to cry at any moment.
"Jo-" I started stepping towards her to console her.
"Just…just get out of here" Jo cut me off stopping me in my tracks before she turned and walked away leaving me stunned, I hadn't known any more than she had but it had me thinking whether it was why my dad stopped bringing me up here too, had this also resulted in the falling out between Ellen and my dad because we stayed friends with John, I had to talk to my dad about this see if he knew about this.
A/N: Tell me what you think about Evie's decision, do you think she should've went back to Sioux Falls.
