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 66 To Catch a Witch
After changing into their black suits, Dean and Sam headed downstairs with Dean carrying a brown leather duffle bag which contained the necessary items they needed to capture Rowena. They entered the living room where they were greeted by Madame Bess and Gwen who had still been sitting on the couch when they looked up and saw them and both got out and walked over to them.
"Wow what fine handsome men you look in those suits" said Madame Bess looking impressed.
"Yeah, Sam you look quite dashing" said Gwen who couldn't take her eyes off of Sam.
Sam just bashfully smiled back.
"Thanks Gwen" he said.
Dean just smirked at his brother's dorky expression as he was obviously crushing on Gwen and her crushing on him.
"So anyway, where's Ava?" Dean asked.
"She's must still be upstairs changing" answered Madame Bess.
"Yeah like I said before Sam, women always take forever to change unlike us guys who are simple" said Dean.
"Hey!" replied Gwen who was looking quite offended.
"No offense there Gwen, but it's just a fact" Dean told her.
"Well, if it is a fact, you guys should be glad, since all the time it takes for a woman to make herself look good and stunning" said Madame Bess.
"Well I have no problem with that" said Dean with a grin.
Just then they all turned to look as Ava came down the stairs now dressed in a navy blue pants suit and white blouse, her hair now pinned up and wearing dark red lipstick. This time Dean was couldn't take his eyes off of her. As Ava entered walked up to them, she just asked, "Well how do I look?"
"Why you look great Ava" said Gwen.
"Yes that is quite sharp and stunning, don't you think so guys?" said Madame Bess who then turned to Dean.
"Oh, yeah Ava you look great, real great" said Dean as it was Sam's turn to smirk.
"Okay, well what is the plan, I mean we don't just knock on her room door and say hey we come to take you captive" said Ava.
"I agree, besides Rowena knows who me and Sam are but she doesn't know who you are Ava" replied Dean.
"Oh, I see, you want me to go to her suite" said Ava.
"Yes, but Rowena is not likely to just let some stranger in even for a FBI agent, in fact that might make her more nervous we have to catch her off guard" said Dean.
Then a light bulb seemed to go over Ava's head.
"I know, I can sneak into room where the hotel stores the staff's uniforms and change into maid's uniform" she said. Dean looked quite impressed with this idea.
"Hey that looks like a great idea but how to find the room and enter without being caught?" asked Dean.
"Trust me, I've done this before, when I was hunting with my old partner Bev, I managed to sneak in the rooms where they store the uniforms and disguise myself as a maid to solve a case involving demons. It was a piece of cake and I could do it again" she said.
"Are you sure?" replied Sam.
"Yes, from what I remember the uniform room is usually on the first floor near the back entrance. All I have to do is sneak in there unseen and then I can knock on the door when she lets me in I can distract her and you guys come in and jump her with the chains, I'll make sure that the door doesn't lock so you two can enter the room" she said.
"I like how you operate Nancy Drew" said Dean looking at her quite impressed.
"Thanks" she said smiling right back.
"Oh, I just hope you guys will be safe, from my visions I conclude this Rowena to be quite a resourceful woman, in other words quite dangerous" said Madame Bess with a worried expression on her face.
"We'll be okay ma'am we're just sorry that we have to put you in the middle of this bringing Rowena back here, and if you change your mind we'll understand and try to find another place to stash her" said Sam.
But Madame Bess just shook her head.
"Oh no, I told you before I'm more than willing to help after everything we've been through and if you need our help and harboring this evil witch if it means protecting humanity then no problem. I haven't forgotten those visions I saw of this Rowena witch and know if not stopped she will inflict more evil and harm in the world whatever she's planning. If that means stashing her in my basement that so be it and I trust you guys when you say you can control her" she told him.
Sam just smiled pleased she was willing to help them even if he still felt some guilt in involving her and praying neither Gwen nor her grandmother get harmed in all of this remembering Charlie. However, they can more than handle Rowena knowing her weakness and this time they will make sure she doesn't escape like the last time.
"Okay we got head outta here and head over there, we can't waste anymore time concerning Rowena" said Dean.
"Okay I'm ready right now lets go" said Ava.
With that the three of them headed out of the door as Madame Bess and Gwen followed them to the door.
"Good luck you all" said Madame Bess.
"That goes for me too, please be careful" said Gwen.
"We're always careful" said Sam as the two exchanged glances for a few seconds.
Then the three hunters walked out the door and all them jumped into the Impala with Ava getting into the backseat. Soon they drove out of the driveway and down the road. While on the way to the hotel they decided to go over their plans once again as Sam read out the directions to the hotel from the piece of paper he was now holding. It took them about less than 20 minutes to downtown where the hotel was and it looked like a typical large hotel in a big city and the city lights made it easier to see it plus the huge sign of the hotel name that was flickering with a red glow. Dean drove the car around heading to the parking lot of the back entrance of the building. Then he parked the Impala and soon the three exited the car as Sam grabbed the duffle bag in the back seat and they all headed towards the back entrance of the hotel and entered the building to it.
"I just hope this hotel has the uniform room around here, I mean this hotel looks big enough for them to have one" said Ava.
"Well, lets search around okay" said Dean.
It didn't take long for them to see a door with a sign that said "Uniform Room, Staff only". Next to that door was another one with a sign that said "Linen Room".
Ava turned to the guys and said, "Okay, I will go in here real quick and change into the maids uniform, you two go on ahead I will meet you two on the third floor" she said.
"Hey, shouldn't we just stand out here and be a look out?" Sam asked.
"No that's not necessary, trust me I've done this before just up on ahead and wait for me" she said.
"Are you sure?' asked Dean.
"Quite" she replied. Dean just nodded.
"Okay but take care of yourself don't get caught" he told her.
"I won't" she said.
"Okay, come on Sam" said Dean as the two just left Ava to enter the uniform room as they walked around the hallway looking for the elevator.
A few people passed them down the hall but didn't take notice of them, Dean then noticed a vending machine and a ice machine next to it as he stared at all the snacks it contained. He could use a Hershey bar he thought but there was no time for that. Just opposite of the machines was the elevator and soon Sam pressed the up button. They had to wait five minutes before the elevator doors to open and it felt like forever and Dean really grew impatient and was prepared to just take the stairs. When they got into the elevator, it contained about five other people and Dean pressed the number three button for the third floor. Just like before, none of the other people paid much attention to them as they all rode the elevator in silence and when the elevator stopped on the third floor and the doors opened Sam and Dean were the only ones who stepped out. Right opposite the elevator was another vendor machine and once again Dean was tempted but restrained. Nor wanting to just stand around just in case someone passed by, they went over to the vendor machine as they waited for Ava.
"Just wished Ava would get here already, hope nothing happened" Dean replied as he was getting bored and impatient.
"Don't worry Dean, Ava said it herself she's a pro at this, that's why we brought her along" said Sam.
"Yeah, I know" Dean said.
Sam could see the look on his face and tell he was thinking about Ava more then he wanted but he wasn't going to say anything about it right now. As the minutes passed, a few people did pass by walking down the hall but and Dean and Sam would face the Vendor Machine pretending they were planning to make a purchase. They even noticed a male housekeeper walking down pass as he just gave a friendly hello to the guys and they responded right back then he pressed the elevator button and waited about five minutes until the elevator doors opened and went inside and it closed again. Dean could help but stare.
"Well, I see this place takes the equal employment thing seriously" said Dean who had never seen a male housekeeper at all during the many hotels they were at.
Ten minutes must have passed as Dean and Sam started to both grow impatient just standing near the vendor machine when the elevator doors finally opened again and out stepped Ava now dressed in modern housekeeping uniform which was light red blouse and a dark red trousers. She was also pushing a linen trolley that contained towels, wash cloths and had what look like a laundry bag where you dispose of all the used linen. Dean couldn't help but think she looked quite hot in that uniform.
"Well, it took you long enough" said Dean relived.
"Hey, I couldn't help that, I had to wait for two housekeepers to who kept gossiping like schoolgirls to finally leave after going into the linen room not to mention to wait forever for the elevator" she replied.
"Well you finally got here that's all that matters" said Dean then he began to just dress Ava down with his eyes.
"What?" she asked feeling a bit awkward.
"It's just that you make a quite a hot maid, you know I always had fantasy about maids and all" he replied.
Ava just rolled her eyes.
"Well you can tell us about your fetish later horn dog, but we got take care of this right now so lets go already" she said in slightly stern tone.
"Oh I like it went you take charge like that" Dean teased.
Ava just rolled her eyes again trying not to smile.
"Come on you two" said Sam who was himself getting kind of amused of their banter.
They walked down the hall as Ava was walking ahead of the brothers dragging the linen trolley. Luckily for them nobody was walking down the hall which gave them some privacy to talk among each other. They finally got the room number 312 and stopped and Ava turned to the guys.
"Okay, you guys this is it" she told them.
"Well you know what to do" said Dean.
Then Dean and Sam walked back down the hall to stay out of sight just like they planned as they were going to wait for about a couple of minutes to come in the room as Ava would have placed a small bawled up piece of paper towel she has stuffed in her bra into the door latch hole so they can be able to open it, something she picked form watching it on TV but it works in real life too. Then while she keeps Rowena distracted, they will take her off guard with the iron chain in their duffle bag. Of course even if they managed to subdue her, she will don't just surrender without a fight especially in a public place, she will definitely try to create a scene to draw attention. To make sure that doesn't happen, they took extra precaution when Ava told them about the tranquilizers in her purse that her old mentor Bev used to carry and taught her how to use followed by a bottle of chloroform but the felt the tranquilizer was better.
They will make her drowsy enough for awhile at least that she won't be able to do anything then they will have to remove the chains while walking her out of the hotel of course but she'll be too out of it to resist and if anybody is around, Dean will simply pretend that she's his girlfriend who had too many to drink and will kiss her if he had too to silent her. By the time they have in the car she'll pass out and they'll head back to Madame Bess's place where they'll stash in the basement putting the chains about on.
Anyway as they were walking down the hall, Ava kept knocking on the door yelling, "Room Service".
Finally, the door opened but instead of Rowena, a maid answered the door. She was a young Asian-American woman who looked about the same age as Ava and was of the same height and build with short hair in bob hairdo.
Ava just looked embarrassed and said, "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know there was already room service here" as she didn't know what else to say.
The maid looked at her quite friendly and didn't seem phased at all.
"That's okay, I was just getting started to clean up the room" she replied.
After glaring at Ava quite hesitantly she finally spoke up again.
"You know why don't you come in and help me, I mean with the two of us, we can get this room done more quickly as I have more rooms to clean" she said.
Ava looked a bit surprised by her suggestion as it wasn't what she expected then again she didn't expect a maid to be in the room instead of Rowena.
"Are you sure, I mean is that allowed?" Ava asked cautiously.
"Well, like I said, I want to get this room done quicker and get to the other rooms, besides I like having someone else to talk to while doing the rooms, and as for the rules, who cares nobody has to know anyway" said the maid.
Ava still felt awkward about this but she didn't know what else to do.
"Okay" she said kind of reluctantly.
"Perfect" said the maid who then held the door as she let Ava in.
Ava suddenly remembered Dean and Sam who will be at the door in a few minutes expecting to be able to enter the room after her sticking the piece of bawled up napkin she has stashed in her bra on the door latch hole but the plans will have to change for now. They can't come in with this maid still here as she will get suspicious. When they find the door locked and try to get in, she'll must make sure to answer the door pretend they have the wrong room to so they can pick up what's going on and then she can make sure that maid doesn't see her take the bawled up napkin out of her bra and stick it in the door latch hole. She followed the maid into the room wheeling in the trolley where in front of her was an unmade bed that had been slept in, a tray that was used for eating still on the bed, some things on the floor. There was another trolley that contained linen and bag for dirty laundry.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you that I already had some clean linen to replace, you could have left that at outside" she said pointing the linen stand she had.
"Well that's okay, I can wheel it back outside right now" she said as she was prepared to do just that hoping Dean and Sam were out there so she can give them the heads up.
"No that's okay, just leave it, it doesn't matter which linen we use" she said. "
Great" she Ava a bit disappointed.
The maid began to make up the bed by taking the sheets off and replacing them with new ones and Ava went over to assist.
"Well, this room doesn't seem so bad" said Ava making small talk.
"Yeah, I know you should have seen some of the rooms I had to clean up before, looked a like a tornado can crashing in, I mean total slobfest, some of these guests, they just become total pigs once they leave home and go away on whatever, trips, holidays " said the maid just shaking her head.
"Well, if they're going to check into a nice hotel with their hard-earned money that provides nice food and maid service, I guess that can afford to become slobs" replied Ava.
"Oh, have you had to clean any real messy rooms?" asked the maid.
"No I haven't had the pleasure yet" said Ava.
"Oh I'm Joy by the way" said the maid.
"I'm Ava" said Ava still just trying to engage in conversation and act as naturally as possible.
"How long have you've been working here, I haven't seen you around before?" asked Joy.
"I haven't been here real long I'm new" said Ava getting a bit uncomfortable but she had to keep up the façade.
"Really, I'm new too, only been here six months" said Joy.
Soon they two of them completed making up the bed and just they heard it, the sound of someone trying to open the door.
"I wonder who is out there and can't be the lady not now plus she has her key" said Joy.
Before Joy could do or say anything else Ava headed towards the door yelling, "I'll see who it is" and then she opened the door to face Dean and Sam as she knew they be there.
"Ava what the hell?" said Dean his voice so low that Joy couldn't hear him.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm afraid the lady isn't here right now, we're just cleaning up, I suggest you come back later" said Ava pretending she's talking to hotel guests.
Dean and Sam at first looked confused but then glanced over to where Joy was and quickly caught on.
"Oh we see, okay" said Dean playing along.
Then Ava while holding the door stepped a bit where she was partially inside and outside the room titled a bit to the right, making sure Joy didn't see her reach inside her shirt with her hand to remove the bawled up piece of paper towel from her bra and place into the door latch hole as Dean just stared looking a bit turned on.
"Wow that was kind of hot" he whispered to her.
Ava just rolled her eyes.
"Sure okay, I'll tell her have a nice day" said Ava who quickly shut the door.
Then she turned back to where Joy was who was still standing near the bed looking quite curious.
"Who was that?" she asked.
"Oh, just some guy and his friend looking for the lady who stays in this room, I just told them she wasn't herer and they asked me to give her a message just in case she come back before we leave to meet him in the lounge" Ava covered.
"Wow, I wonder what that could be about?" Joy asked.
"Oh, he's probably just some guy the lady met last night maybe at the bar, and he now wants to get to know her more, you know these hotel flings and all" she said.
Joy just nodded seemingly convinced.
"Okay know lets get the bathroom taking care of" she said.
Soon Ava followed Joy into the bathroom where they picked up a wet towel and wet washcloth and wet shower cap on the floor and a used soap bar and removed them from the bathroom and disposed of them in the laundry basket on the stand and soon replaced them with a new towel, washcloth, a new shower cap and bar of soap in a package while Joy talked Ava's ear off the whole time gossiping about the guests in the hotel and the staff members and who did what and Ava really wasn't paying attention as she just wanted to get this over with so Joy can leave and she can sneak back in and wait for Rowena when she comes back.
"Oh, I wonder when the lady will get back to her room?" Ava finally asked tired of listening to Joy talk.
"Why do you ask?" asked Joy.
"Oh, I was hoping to give her the message that dude gave me about meeting him at the lounge, I'm a sucker for romance like that" she said.
Joy just shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know, I met her when I came in to clean up and she told me she will be gone for while and take all the time I had, I guess that means she's not coming back anytime soon" said Joy.
"Oh really?" asked Ava no looking curious.
Then Ava began to pick some used cups was off the floor thinking that this witch was quite a slob when Joy said,"Oh by the way Ava, Rowena left a message for me to give to you too" she said.
Ava's eyes quickly lit up upon hearing Joy know Rowena's name and she quickly turned around only to face Joy who was know holding the dirty tray and she swung it as she was prepared to hit Ava in the face with it.
