After a few hours, the doors unlocked. Audre had been dozing off, and was startled.
"Nice car. Just like on the cameras. This is our guy." A man with a distinct accent said. Audre ducked down and crawled under the seat as they cleared the branches.
"We can mess with the car later." Another person said. They retreated. When they were gone, Audre pushed open the door, sliding out onto the pine needles. She winced, crawling to standing up as she walked toward the house. She decided to go round back. The glass door was open, but inside was dark. There were no guards anywhere to be seen. Audre listened.
The faint sound of yelling was coming from the stairwell. It was unlocked, but the door had too many open locks for a normal person's house. She stepped quietly down the stairs, trying to be as quiet as possible. She stood in the shadows, looking into the operation room. On the table was Jack. He was pale, and still. A red tube travelled from his neck to a machine… there was a jug of red liquid… Audre felt like she was going to puke.
"We didn't know he was one of your own," A man drawled. "If we had, we would've tortured him… ripped off his arm… anything to slightly make up for you murdering the American branch of our family. We came here to kill you, and you walked right into our arms."
"Let the others go. I'm the one you want." Dean said.
"Well, I don't know why I'd do that. Your boy is remarkable. His blood can cure anything… age, illness, mortality. Where did you come across this kid?"
"None of your business." Dean said angrily. "Let them go."
"Why?"
"You want me, not them."
"Why can't I have both?"
Dean groaned. His attempt to bargain wasn't working. Audre carefully stepped into the room. It was well lit, but the man and the other Steins were facing Sam, Dean, and Cas. Cas had silver handcuffs on, and he was gagged. He had spotted Audre. His eyes seemed to be saying something. She got the message.
"Why did it take you so long to get here?"
"We had to pack up, buy the house… and then get ready to face the man who killed so many of our family. I was expecting more… I don't know. Flair? Pizzaz?"
"I killed your family, Styne." Dean smiled. "I have flair."
Meanwhile, Audre was pulling out the tube. She set it down, gently shaking Jack, hoping he would wake up. She glanced back at Sam and Dean who were still stalling. She felt Jack's pulse. It was weak, but there. She was surprised he was alive. Audre could swear he hadn't been breathing.
"Okay, I've had enough banter." Styne said, turning around. Audre felt her heart stop as Styne looked directly into her eyes. "Well… surprise, there are even more of you now."
