The story takes place right after the season 10 finale, after Dean killed Death, the Mark of Cain was removed and Darkness was released into the world. I mentioned before, new characters will be added and thrown in the story and I will bring back several former characters from the show in the upcoming future.
Chapter 34 The Search For Becky
After the brothers left the police station, they returned to their motel were they had set up their laptop and soon, they started googling the names of Becky's two co-workers hoping to find an address since the company where they and Becky work isn't open due to it being a Saturday. Finally, they found some leads and headed over to the addresses they discovered. First, they went over to Rosie's address at an apartment building and knocked on her door.
Within seconds, a very large overweight woman who looked to be in her thirties with long dark hair tied in the back and was wearing a long plain dress answered the door.
"Yes, may I help you?" she asked them in a soft-spoken voice.
Both Sam and Dean flashed their fake FBI badges at her carrying themselves in a very professional manner.
"Are you Rosie Engelmann?" asked Dean.
"Yes" she answered with a confused look on her face.
"We are FBI and we're hear to ask about your co-worker Becky Rosen" Dean continued.
Rosie looked a bit nervous and uncomfortable at the mention of the name Becky as the brothers quickly picked on that wondering if she knew something.
"Can we come in?" Sam asked.
"Oh, sure" said Rosie and she let them both in her small apartment. They all went into the living room as Sam and Dean sat down on the couch while Rosie sat on a big armed chair.
"Can I ask why would the FBI be interested in Becky?" she asked them still looking confused.
"Well, we can't go into that but we would like you to answer some questions" Dean said.
"Okay" said Rosie feeling a bit nervous about the FBI being in her apartment.
"We understand that Becky is a co-worker and a friend of yours according to your boss" said Sam.
"That's right, Becky was the only person except for Simon another co-worker to speak to me and we would talk mostly during our lunch break. I guess we both had so much in common with us both being Jewish girls but we were also geeks growing up and felt like social outcasts most of our lives and we both felt lonely in the world with no other friends or family around with Becky moving here from Delaware and I from Connecticut each hoping to find more excitement in the big city and I guess we found it alright, you know with all that is happening all over" she said real fast that mirrored Becky's speaking tone.
Both Sam and Dean just had uncomfortable expression on their faces.
"I guess we really understood each other because of our similar backgrounds" she continued.
"We understand that Becky is wanted by the police for vandalism and arson as she trashed her boss's office and her home even setting it on fire?" said Sam.
Rosie became even more uncomfortable and seemed hesitant to say any more but she finally confided in them.
"Yes, I was shocked when I heard about all of that, it is not the Becky I know, that's just not something she would do no matter how overbearing our boss was" she told them.
"Well can you be more specific, just what was her relationship with her boss like?" asked Sam.
"Well, Ms. Van der Voort, she was the meanest boss to ever work with and was the most feared, nobody liked her and I mean nobody. I'm just the secretary so I didn't have a lot of contact with her but Becky was her personal assistant and had to put up a lot from her. She treated Becky like her personal slave making her wait on her hand and foot, even calling her after work to do her bidding and she would yell, belittle and humiliate Becky even in public in front of the other co-workers when she was angry which was often. She was most hard woman to please and Becky couldn't just win with her no matter what and she would confide this to me whenever we got the chance to talk" Rosie explained trying to defend her friend.
"And did she give your any idea that she would commit these crimes?" asked Sam.
"Well no, she never spoke of physically harming Ms. Van der Voort, as I said before this is so out of character to her, Becky doesn't have a mean bone in her body" said Rosie.
After a brief paused she continued on before Sam and Dean had chance to ask her more questions.
"I know that since the sky turned black all over, some people have suddenly gone crazy even our boss flipped out like a maniac at work which was unbelievable even for her and then we heard she got arrested twice for going over to Becky's place to kill her" she said.
"Yeah, we already heard about that at the police station" said Sam.
"Yeah, we were all shocked, we knew she could be mean but we never thought she could flipped out but everybody seems to gone crazy first Becky and now her" Rosie continued.
Sam and Dean just listened taking everything in stride.
"Then there was the incident at work" she finished.
"At work what happened at work?' asked Sam.
Rosie just looked kind of uncomfortable about revealing the details but she swallowed quickly and continued on.
"Well, Ms. Van der Doort nearly attacked Becky at work, I mean she was really furious at her over something trivial I don't even remember what and she almost hit her but other employees intervened. Even before that incident, she once went into a tirade and started throwing things around in front of all of us employees before a couple of the staff stopped her and now Becky" said Rosie now with a sad look on her face.
Dean and Sam listened to her explanation not too surprised about hearing how crazy Ms. Van Ver Doort is and then this time Dean spoke up.
"Well do you have any idea where Becky is" he asked her.
Rosie shook her head.
"No, I've tried calling her and even went by her apartment but she is not there but..." she stopped what she was saying with a nervous look on her face.
"But what? Look Miss, if you know something more you better fess up now" warned Dean.
Rosie still looked hesitant but finally spoke up again.
"It's nothing really, just that Becky's has been taking up yoga, she said it helps calm her anxieties.
"Yoga?" asked Sam.
"Yes, she also told me that she even started mediating plus she's been reading these self-help guide books and lent me one to read as they're quite useful. She also tried to get me to go to her yoga classes but I just couldn't get into that but she did get me into mediation and she's right it really does calm your nerves, I've been doing more often since the blackout all over" Rosie finished nervously.
"Okay, well can you tell us where she goes for this yoga class?" asked Sam.
"Okay" said Rosie and soon she got up and got a pen and paper and wrote down the name and handed it to them. Both Sam and Dean had gotten up off the couch and took the address.
"I just want you guys to know Becky isn't a bad person and I don't know what's going on but it seems to affecting many people, please I hope she isn't in real trouble, what she's done isn't who Becky is, please guys" Rosie begged.
"Hey, it's alright, we just need to find Becky before more damage happens, but if you here anything, if Becky contacts you call us" said Sam her his card.
Rosie was hesitant to take the card.
"Hey, if you want to help your friend you need to cooperate and help us find her so call us if you here from her" Sam urged.
Rosie finally gave him and took the card.
"Promise nothing bad is going to happen to her?" she asked nervously.
"We are not out to hurt her but prevent her from causing more harm including to herself, thanks for your time" said Sam in gentle tone.
Rosie looked relieved and after they were finished with her she walked them to the door. Soon they left Rosie's place and while walking away leaving Dean turned to Sam.
"So do you believe she knows anything?" he asked.
"I don't think so, Dean, she seemed sincere enough for me and is really worried about Becky" Sam told him.
"I have to admit, I never thought the crazy ex would be into that new agey yoga thing and mediation and reading self-guide books" said Dean smirking.
"That might explain why she hadn't been affected by the Darkness until recently that is" Sam replied.
"Yeah, but come to think of it, it makes sense that she would be into that weird hippy-dippy mumbo jumbo thing her being a bit of a weirdo herself' said Dean a teasingly matter.
"Come on Dean, we're not going to start up that again" said Sam.
"Okay okay, lets just find this Simon guy and hear what he has to say" said Dean and the two were soon in their car again and headed over to Simon's place.
When they got there, they found Simon to be skinny, stereotypical effeminate gossipy gay guy from his mannerism and his expression. He even dressed like a stereotypical gay man with a retro 80s' crew cut hairdo.
"Oh, Becky was a dear although a bit on the geeky side with bad fashion sense and totally socially awkward that it hurt. But I took care of the fashion part, I got her to lose those awful clothes and dress with more class, I even took her shopping. Well anyway despite her geekiness, she was not a violent criminal which is why it shocked the heck out of me when I heard what she had done. Of course, I wasn't too surprised to hear about Ms. Van der Voort, I mean they didn't call her the dragon lady for nothing although my favorite name for her was the wicked bitch of New York and she lived up to that name. I mean she treated poor Becky like her own personal slave and punching bag, had the poor girl running around over the place fetching this and fetching that and would yell out her like crazy over some of the most trivial matters, once she screamed at Becky because the sandwich she got was too spicy, another time it wasn't spicy enough, or Becky was too late coming back with doing the shopping for her which she made her do because the old shrew didn't want the bother, I mean the girl just couldn't catch break, but it still shocked me to the core when I heard what Becky had done, I mean that is not who Becky is at all" he ranted.
Sam and Dean just sat there and just listened impatiently as he just seemed to chat on and on and never took a second to catch his breath.
"Anyway, do you have any idea where Becky might be right now?" asked Dean.
"No, I'm afraid I don't have a clue, she didn't have any other friends other than Rosie and myself and I tried calling her but there is no use, I just hope she isn't in too much trouble, maybe she just had a break down and obviously needs help" Simon said.
"We're hoping we can find her before she does more damage and gets herself in anymore trouble" said Sam.
"I still just can't believe our dear Becky is capable no matter what a bitch that boss was to her and everybody else. I mean it just seems like since the whole sky turned black that a lot people turned into maniacs not that there weren't a lot of that in New York City, but there seems so something out of a supernatural movie, I wasn't too surprised that the wicked bitch of New York went full psycho, I mean after the sky went black, she came into the office one day, screaming and hurling a whole like a abuse that left us all speechless and throwing things at the employees and she nearly came close to hitting Becky, she had to be restrained, I thought they were going put her in a strait-jacket and now I hear she's in jail for trying to off Becky, I mean damn!" Simon said shaking his head.
Both Sam and Dean became aware he wasn't going to offer them anything useful, if he's lying they can't prove it and they have a feeling he wasn't plus they were started to tire of listening to him rant on and just wanted to be on their way.
"Okay, here's our card, call us if you hear from her or remember anything" said Dean getting up off the couch and handing Simon his card.
"Sure thing dear" said Simon in a suggestive tone and Dean notice him giving him the look, the same look guys give to chicks they are hot for.
This was making Dean a bit uncomfortable so he just coughed a bit as both Sam and Dean left the apartment and Dean noticed Simon dressing him down like a piece of meat.
"Well I don't think he knows much about Becky I mean" said Dean as they were both walking in the hall and heading downstairs.
"Well I know one thing, he sure had the hots for you, looks like you still got it hot stuff" said Sam teasingly.
"Oh shut up" said Dean a bit annoyed.
The next stop was the yoga club where Becky takes her classes and they even talked to her yoga instructor who also seemed surprised about Becky but just like Rosie and Simon, she didn't know anything and they left her their card and left.
Then they headed back to the motel and relaxed realizing they hadn't gotten anywhere as they still don't know where Becky is or anything about those rings. They turned on the TV to relax a bit and regroup coming up with their next step. Sam was working on his laptop again hoping to find anything about the lore on ruby rings, especially the ones Becky and those two guys are wearing.
"Find anything yet?" asked Dean.
"No can't find a thing about ruby rings that causes the wearer to go crazy, this seems to be a dead end" said Sam getting a little frustrated.
Dean who was a little frustrated himself just ranted.
"I don't know man, we got to continue looking, there must be some info that explains how those rings are making people go psycho and start attacking folks or things and just how is this witch or whatever she is happening to be singling out those three people, Becky and those dudes who are in jail. Neither of them know each other, the only thing they have in common is that none of them were affected by the Darkness due to going to some spiritual place, being too weak or doing yoga, mediation and suddenly it seems like once they put on the ring…"
"Yeah, I know their dark side comes out, like their repressed anger causing them to go after people who did them wrong, kind of like a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but if only we could find a clue to what these rings are and where Becky is hiding then" said Sam but before he could finish Dean interrupted him.
"Hey Sam, look on the news, there is something you should see" said Dean.
Sam looked up and turned to face the TV and saw the news which was now talking about a brutal fight outside a bar and a crowd of people cheering as two men were beating up another man on the ground with objects nearly killing him.
"What, so it's just a group of douchebags beating some poor bastard to death, what's so important about that?" asked Sam annoyed.
"Sam, not that but look who is in the crowd" said Dean.
Sam got up near the TV set to take a closer look and at first didn't think there was anything to see but then he noticed it. As the camera zoomed in on the crowd and he noticed face standing on the left side behind two people and at first he wasn't sure but then he was sure that that face was none other than Becky Rosen.
