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 39 Closer and Closer

Sam and Dean were both glued to the TV set as they continued to listen to the news, shocked at hearing about the shootout and break out at the police station and learning now that Dobbins has escaped and Harper is dead.

After the news went off, they both walked away from the TV set near their beds.

"Son-of-a bitch, just when we think things hasn't any harder, this happens" Dean said in frustration.

"Yeah, we found the information we needed but now this and we still haven't found out who the hell this witch is or where Becky is" said Sam.

"Well, no use moping about, but that poor bastard first having his soul twisted by some cursed ring and now he is dead. But are next step is to find some obsidian rock to smash those cursed rings, find that witch, find Becky and now find Dobbins before it's too late" said Dean.

"Yeah, and we better find them soon because time is running out Dean" Sam reminded.

"Good Lord could things get any worse?" wondered Dean shaking his head.

They waited until the next morning to get geared up in their suits again to pose as FBI agents, got into their car and first headed to the diner to get some breakfast and then starting driving for the police station in order to find out more about the shooting and the breakout. They spent last night looking through the laptop to find where they find an obsidian rock and the managed to find them being sold at some rock shops.

"I'm telling you Sam, if we don't find this witch in time and waste her, the entire world could suffer. You remember what Adam said, this witch could use whatever darkness is coming from those give her powers making her some invincible destructive force that could take over the world. If the world isn't corrupt enough with this Darkness and now this, once again we have the safety of the world in our hands" said Dean urgently.

It was clear that the guilt of the Darkness started to resurface and he felt it was his responsibility to save it.

Sam just tried to calm his brother again.

"Don't worry Dean, we will find a way to defeat this thing, as you say we always do. But I wonder if the dark energies that Adam said was being used through these rings as some kind of source to twist souls and bring at the wearer's darkness happens to be Darkness itself?" wondered Sam.

He had been thinking about this theory since Adam gave them the information about the rings yesterday.

"Perfect, if that is true, then once again, it's thanks to us that these rings are turning people into homicidal wackos" said Dean still flustered.

"Dean…" said Sam but before he could finish Dean cut him off.

"Woah, do you see that?" he said his head now facing the window on his side.

'What?" said Sam confused.

Dean nudge him to look and on and Sam turned his head to where Dean was looking while he was driving now quite slower. They saw what appeared to be a figure of an elderly woman standing on the sidewalk talking to another woman next to her. The elderly woman appeared to be holding a bag and then pulled something out of the bag. They couldn't get a clear look with the sky being so dark so they drove up and parked their car near the sidewalk some feet away.

The headlights of the car was flashing and they could see that the elderly lady dressed in black wearing a shawl around her was holding up a ring and seemed to be trying to persuade the other woman to buy it.

"Well, I'll be looks like our luck finally showed up" said Dean sternly.

With that, the brothers grabbed their flashlights and stormed out of their car and called out to the women.

"Hey!" Dean yelled out looking in there direction.

Within moments the elderly woman just looked in their direction and stared at them for a few seconds before she turned around and started running as fast as she could.

"Son-of a bitch!" Dean yelled again.

Soon both of them started chasing after her, as they passed the confused woman who the old lady was trying to sell her the ring. The old woman continued to run down the sidewalk real fast and turned to the corner on left with Sam and Dean running after her trying hard to catch up but by the time they reached the corner, the their was no sign of the old woman at all like she had just vanished.

Then they nearly bumped into a very skinny looking young man wearing a hoodie and jeans and looked like a stereotypical computer geek.

"Woah there" said the guy.

Both Sam and Dean stopped running when they realized there was no sign of the old lady now catching their breathes as they both used their flashlights to get a better look at the view.

"Hey sorry dude, but did you happen to see an elderly woman running by just now?" asked Dean still catching his brother.

"Oh no" said the guy.

"Are you sure man?" asked Sam eagerly.

"Hey, the only people I saw running by was you two as you guys nearly knocked me over" the guy said.

"Dammitt!" cried out Dean in frustration that they finally found this witch and now they lost her.

"Hey, chill out dude, what are you cops or something, and you're chasing some old lady?' asked the guy looking confused.

"Never mind dude" Sam told him.

Then realizing there is no way they could find this witch now, as she seemed to have vanished, they just turned around and walked back while the guy just stared at them in curiosity.

The woman that the witch confronted had since left so the brothers just got into car again heading for the station. When they finally got there, they spoke to Lt. Blanco again.

"We don't know how it happened, but somehow some of the prisoners got out of their cells and a couple managed to grab guns from two of our officers. One prisoner grabbed a female officer and used her as a shield and a hostage holding a gun to her head so we couldn't fire on him without risking her life" said Lt. Blanco.

"What about Harper and Dobbins?" asked Dean.

"Well, Harper was holding a gun and refused to drop it and our cops tried to reason with him but he wouldn't listen. He even held an innocent woman who was in here to file charges at gunpoint and when he reached the door he let her go and started firing at two of our officers who had no choice but to fire back and he was shot just as he was outside the doors. As for the Dobbins guy, he and a few other prisoners got behind the guy who was holding our officer hostage and he and the others just ran out the door. The perp the with the gun just started firing at our officers until one took him out with a head shot, right in the temple. He's dead too, luckily our cop wasn't hit in the process. Some other others did get shot in the shootout but none of them were killed" said he officer.

Dean just shook his head at the cop.

"Wow, this is much" said Dean.

Lt. Blanco just nodded.

"You're telling me, I mean it was really crazy last night and it was as if those prisoners who shot our cops were not afraid to die or anything, I mean I've been a cop for over 20 years and I have seen some crazy stuff in my dead, but I haven't seen anything as crazy in he recent weeks not since the sky went all black. It's not just the ordinary citizens that are just going crazy it's even some of our officers. Just last week, a cop from our precinct just shoots his partner in the head and before that another police officer who was suspended for police brutality just entered his police station and shot up the place killing some of the officers and wounding plenty more until he had to taken out. This happened in another precinct of course but, I just don't know anymore. I find myself scared to get up in the mornings to show up here and do my job worrying about what I'm going to hear what will happened next and had never felt this afraid during all my time as a cop" the cop ranted to them in frustration.

Dean just looked up at him with a guilty feeling and the ability to relate to this officer's plight and feeling a bit of sympathy.

"I understand sir, we all have felt that way I guess it's the baggage you get from doing a job that involves danger and saving lives" Dean told him.

"Well, if this keeps up, I might consider having an early retirement" said the officer sarcastically.

Sam wanting to stay on the subject chimed in.

"Hey, do think you can show us the CCTV footage of the shooting last night? It could be quite helpful to us" he told the officer.

Next, they were all looking at CCTV video which showed two of the prisons holding guns while few others was walking behind them one of them was Winston Harper who was holding a civilian woman in front of him with a gun pointed at her head while cops some a distance away facing them had their guns drawn prepared to fire. Next thing they knew, the other guy who was holding a police woman hostage at gunpoint turned his guns toward the cops and just started firing before be was shot in the head and fell backwards on the floor dead. Harper than backed up near the door and also firing his gun before he pushed the woman away and started running towards the door then he was quickly shot dead while the other prisoners had already ran out the door and after the shooting some police officers ran out to give chase.

This seemed so tragic and both Sam and Dean felt bad about not being able to get to Harper in time and destroying the ruby ring and now he's dead. However, while they kept looking at the scene on the video, they noticed something quite peculiar. There was a young skinny man standing near the door when it all happened. Even though this guy moved out of the way when the all the action had happened after the shootout was over and Harper and the other guy were killed while the rest of the prisoners escaped, the man moved back near the door and was just standing there staring. The brothers started to notice that this guy looked very familiar and then they realized where they'd seen him.

"Hey can you enhance the video on that guy there?" asked Dean eagerly.

"Any reason why?" asked Lt. Blanco.

"Please, just do it it's important" said Dean.

So the other police officer with then paused the video then enhanced the screen until the brothers got a better look at the skinny guy.

Then the brothers just watched the footage not taking the eyes off it for a moment as they were sure where they seen him before as he was the same guy then bumped into when chasing that witch on the sidewalk.

"Jesus" said Dean as his head popped up.

"Hey, you know this guy?" asked Lt. Blanco.

Both Dean and Sam just continued to stare at the screen.

"I'm telling you Sam, that was the same guy we saw when that were chasing that witch and just seemed to have vanished and he was there claiming not to see her. I thought that was bit strange but can't believe I couldn't put two and two together" said Dean as they were walking out of the police station.

"Yeah, there is too much coincidence that he shows up at the station when the shootout happens and Dobbins escapes while Harper is killed" said Sam.

"I wonder what is connection to this is though, he and the witch working together, or maybe perhaps Sam, it's a shapeshifter?" Dean wondered.

"A witch who is also a shapeshifter, that is an interesting theory, we definitely need to find out who this guy is, but first we need to find Becky" said Sam.

"Yeah and I know the first place we can look to locate her" Dean told him as they both got into the car and drove off.

Their next destination was back at the Cockroach Bar that was busy with the same type of people doing the same things from drinking, shooting pool and engaging in illegal activity right out in the open, despite the fact this still morning and not a weekend. Sam even noticed a woman who appeared to be a prostitute wink at him as a man wearing a business suit and looking like a white-collar professional who was likely a john walked up to her handing out cash and they soon went into the restroom together.

Both of them were quite amazed at this place but since Darkness happened nothing should be too surprising. They managed to find the same guy who told them where they could find Bruno in a corner looking like he was doing some dodgy dealings with some guys himself and before they knew it, they grabbed him and dragged him out back threatening to haul him to the police station themselves if he doesn't tell them where they could find Bruno now.

Finally the guy fed up with these FBIs just told them everything he knew.

"I'm telling you man, sometimes Bruno goes to this dude Spider who runs a tattoo parlor. Spider has a lot of contacts with some people who do favors for him, get them a stolen car, phony IDs, a gun, or let them hang out to carry their illegal business in private or a place to hide out from the cops, you get my drift" the guy said.

"Do you know where this Spider is?" Sam asked.

The guy paused.

"Hey, you better tells us if you know what's good for you!" cried Dean in an intimidating manner.

"Yeah, man" said the guy looking scared.

"Well, give us his address" Dean told him.

After getting the exact address where to go, they were back in the car driving.

"So you're sure Becky and her macho new boyfriend are at this Spider's place?" asked Sam.

"Yeah, according to what that dude told us, this probably the only place they run to lay low for awhile until they can get out of town. That's the only thing that makes sense" said Dean.

"But, how are we going to approach this I'm mean, Becky outsmarted us twice?" Sam mentioned although he could feel Dean's ego being a bit bruised about being overpowered by someone like Becky.

"Well, we know not to underestimate her, we just got to be smarter and I got an idea" said Dean with a glean in his eyes.

Spider's tattoo parlor was a small business and looked like the kind of place only the rough necks would go to. Spider himself was a sleazy looking man with both his arms almost entirely covered in tattoos, he had earrings in both ears and on his nose and had a dyed blue and purple spiked hairdo. Later that day, Spider was just finishing his work on his latest customer. After it was all done, the customer paid up and left the shop. Business was still good despite the sky going black all over and everyday seems nighttime. Although it was scary at first it attracted more shady people who would come to his place paying him money to have same favors done for them no matter how illegal, to hiding out from the law, finding contacts to get them what they need.

It didn't matter whether it was a car, gun, drugs, a hooker or to go in the back of his place for their illegal dealings of course, they always paid him well as he wouldn't settle for less. Just then Sam walked in the shop no longer wearing his suit but his normal casual clothes and Spider just saw another customer.

"Hey, may I help you dude?" he asked as he walked up to Sam.

"Sure thing, I thinking of getting a tattoo" said Sam disguising his voice with a stereotypical New York accent.

"Well, you came to the right place, what kind of tattoos do you want specifically, I got all kinds" said Spider with a smile.

Sam continued to walk in the shop with Spider following behind and before he knew it, Sam pulled out his fake FBI ID and flashed it at him. Spider was taken back and was just about to say something but Sam shushed him and he closed his mouth.

"Not a word or we will arrest you on the spot for harboring a fugitive" Sam whispered in his normal voice.

Then he stopped whispering trying to sound like nothing was wrong.

"Hey, what kind of tattoos, do you have, maybe I'll get an eagle wings, or an American flag, maybe a one of a hot chick" Sam said to him trying to sound casually using his fake New York accent again.

He walked around the place and headed towards where a back room was and then he suddenly he opened up the back door and inside was Bruno and Becky who were hiding together.

"Oh crap" said Becky with a look of disgust on her face.

Sam just stood there at the doorway.

"It's over Becky, now nobody has to get hurt here" he told her.

Both Bruno and Becky got up real quickly looking like two criminals who have finally been caught.

Becky yelled, "How the hell did you find us!" as she was still ticked off.

"We have our sources, but now I want you to come with me right now" said Sam sternly.

However, Becky was clearly not ready to surrender and she made that clear.

"No way in hell! Besides you're not even armed we have your guns remember" she said and then she turned to Bruno and cried out Bruno and said "Bruno now!"

With that, Bruno pulled out a gun out on Sam and Becky pulled out gun as well. Sam just stood there not looking phased at all.

"You don't want to do this Becky" he told her.

"Yeah, I do and you are not going to get in our way" said Becky determined to escape.l

Then both Becky and Bruno started walking towards the door as Sam backed up a bit and Bruno and Becky headed out and attempted the leave through the front door. Sam just stood there and made no attempt to stop them and Spider also just stood there silent, not wanting to get involved anymore in this situation but then Becky stopped looking quite suspicious.

"No, wait a minute, where's your partner in crime, old big brother Dean?" Becky asked.

Sam remained silent.

"I bet he's out front waiting for us. Come on Bruno, we will take the back door" Becky told him.

"Becky, you don't have to do this!' cried out Sam trying to plead with her.

"But I do and I will" Becky replied.

She and Bruno headed out the back door. Bruno went out first and within seconds, Dean who was hiding as he stood against the wall next to the door whacked Bruno in the back of the head with a crowbar and Bruno collapse on the ground knocked out cold.

Then Becky who was standing at the doorway turned the gun towards him but Dean was quicker and within seconds he grabbed Becky's wrist and twisted it hard and managed to disarm her. Becky tried to kick him, but Dean managed to pull her out the door with so much force causing her to stumble on the ground on her stomach real hard and before she had a chance to get up he was on top of her sitting on the back of her legs and pinning her arms back holding her down as she struggled.

"Hello Rebecca, gotcha at last" he said with smirk.

Becky continued to struggle now looking ticked off about being outsmarted by the Winchesters but it was no use. Sam came running out of the back door and soon he picked up the two guns on the ground.

"Well, it took a while but looks like we finally caught you Becky, er Rebecca" said Dean with so much satisfaction.

"So now what?" said Becky still trying to struggle.

"So now we get you back at the motel and do what we gotta do" said Dean.

"You killed Bruno you bastard, I didn't think that was your style but then again!" Becky yelled at him.

"Relax, honey if I wanted to kill your boyfriend I would have, that blow wasn't hard enough to gank him just subdue him for awhile. Now you are coming with us, and that's the end of it" said Dean.

"Okay so you guys got me, I guess it took you long enough after I took care of your baby huh Dean? How is Baby, I mean, must have cost you a lot after I destroyed the tires, I wish I did more but I was kind of in a hurry, but no biggie, maybe when I escape I will get a chance to really mess her up" said Becky smirking while face down on the ground.

This was really ticking Dean up as he let go of one of her arms and with one hand and grabbed the back of Becky's hair and pulled her head back pretty rough as Becky yelped out in pain.

"Dean!" cried out Sam looking on nervously.

Sam knows how Dean can get when someone messes with his baby and now with the Darkness that could affect him he was getting worried again. Dean didn't even look up at Sam as he continued glare at Becky his eyes still filled with anger.

"Don't worry Sammy, I have this all covered, Becky here is mine!" he cried out.

He then let go of her hair and with that hand he started to slowly move his fingers like he was about to clench it into a fist.
