Chapter 38: Tear the Roof Off
I sat on my beaten down truck I went to think on seeing Dean working on his Impala quietly while Bobby looked on. Sam was resting in one of the rooms as we hoped maybe giving him time, he'd wake up again like last time. I listened to Bobby and Dean argue about what to do next but at this point, we were all feeling defeated and unsure of what our next move was.
Eventually, I got off the truck walking towards them saying, "Come on… I think we deserve a drink."
"Agreed, let's take a break." Bobby said walking in first as Dean was hesitant saying to me, "You think he's too far gone?"
I placed my hand timidly on his shoulder feeling him relax to my touch saying, "I honestly don't know Dean… but I… I can't give up on hoping he's not too far gone."
Dean didn't say anything back just nodded and walked past me as I followed him into Bobby's kitchen as we each cracked open a beer to take a break from worrying.
Suddenly we all heard footsteps perking up to see Sam walking towards us making my eyes widen running up to him hugging him saying, "Glad to see you're not a drooling pile of mush Sammy boy."
"I'm surprised you're up at all." Dean said seeing the relief pass over his eyes when Sam shrugged replying, "Apart from a bad headache I feel fine surprisingly, so catch me up on the whole Castiel thing."
I watched them walk outside deciding to give them alone time as I walked into the lounge area turning on the news to see if there was any information stirring up. After about an hour alone staring at the television, a news broadcast popped up about numerous religious leaders being taken out, bingo.
"Hey guys you may want to take a look at this." I yelled out leaning my head seeing Dean and Bobby come in staring at the news.
"I'll go get Sam." Bobby said quietly as I stared at the TV listening talk about how attractive the guy in the trench coat was making my lip twitch trying not to smile, he did kill a lot of people.
"Dean I should look into this." I said turning to him as his eyes remained on the TV saying, "It's too dangerous to go on your own."
I gave him a weak smile saying, "I'll be okay, trust me I'm more worried about you boys."
"Just keep in touch." He said while I winked disappearing teleporting far away.
I took out my angel blade tightening my grip on it, looks like it was demon season and I had my eye on the biggest catch.
I let out a long audible sigh leaning against the wall brushing off some excess blood on my body as demons lay splayed out all around me. So maybe I was a little angry and I needed to blow some steam, I knew this was a bit much but after everything I'd been through this last week I just didn't care anymore. I could hear whimpering in the corner as the sound of wood scraping on the floor looking lazily over to her.
"This would be so much easier if you told me where he was." I said in a sing-song voice taking a few steps over to her.
I leaned down watching her shrink in the seat mumbling something under the handkerchief as I laughed pulling it off running the angel blade down her throat saying, "Sorry dear I didn't catch that."
I ended up next to a rundown trailer park tilting my head towards it seeing angel sigils drawn all over making me smirk knocking on the door loudly.
It was quiet as I sighed saying, "Boss I know you're in there, don't make me break the door down."
I heard the door unlock as Crowley peeked his head out whispering harshly, "Bullocks."
I strolled in sitting comfortably on the couch as he watched me quietly with his scotch in hand saying, "I take it this is a business not pleasure scenario?"
"Sadly you're right, I need your help." I said as he handed me a scotch as well standing in front of me saying, "Let me guess, you want to help angel boy get back to his goody-two-shoes self?"
I frowned taking a sip saying, "Maybe not that wording but close to it."
"Well he visited me before you had come and I've already agreed to be on his side, well I didn't have much of a choice in the matter." He said while I perked up saying, "Is he okay?"
"Oh yes peachy, aside from his vessel beginning to wear a bit and his annoying new God complex." Crowley said watching him sneer while I frowned saying, "His vessel is wearing down?"
"Well what do you expect taking that many souls at once, face it darling, he's a lost cause nothing like he was." Crowley said eyeing me cautiously as I said, "I have to try and help him, and no doubt the boys will contact you too."
"Just when a guy wishes to be left alone everyone comes crawling to him." Crowley said making me roll my eyes, "Boss you started this whole thing, Castiel would have never even tried to do this if you weren't pulling the strings."
"True, but I'm not the one who made him a monster, I was going to share those souls he's the idiot." Crowley said defending himself making me sigh saying, "I know… I just wish I knew why he did all this."
"You must be a bigger idiot than I thought if you don't know why darling." He said taking another sip of his whiskey as my eyes stayed on him saying, "He did this all to keep you safe, well Moose and Squirrel too but you were the main reason."
"All the more reason why I need to stop this." I said confidently hearing him sigh saying, "I'll see what I can do, don't expect miracles he'll kill me not you if he gets wind of it."
"Thanks boss, ta." I said giving a wink ending up at my villa letting out a long defeated sigh deciding a good bath in darkness was in my future.
