Kaylee stayed up all night keeping watch as Jo slept in the bed, Dean slept on the lounge and Sam slept on a chair. She heard screaming coming from upstairs and Kaylee bolted out of the room, not bothering to wake the others. She ran into the room to find cracks all over the walls and ceilings. She tried to follow the scent but the strong, overpowering ectoplasm made it impossible to track. She searched the building all night but found no trace of the women or the spirit. But after the first walk through she knew she wouldn't. She spent that time thinking about her demon power overload problem and how to fix it. She had an idea. A very bad idea and it would take some skill to convince Kane to go along with it, but at the moment it was her only option. She pulled out her phone and called Kane.
"Hey, what's up?" Kane asked into the phone and Kaylee decided she was going to do this one step at a time.
"I need you to come up with a reason for me to leave the brothers for a while" Kaylee said softly, as if Dean and Sam would wake up any minute and overhear her.
"Why?" Kane asked suspiciously.
"Because I have an idea on a more… permanent solution for my problem but it may take a while… a few weeks, maybe months and you said I can't just take off and leave them again so now it's your job to come up with an excuse for me to leave" Kaylee explained before waiting as Kane was silent and thinking over what she just said. Kane sighed reluctantly.
"Tell them… tell them I was kicked out of the pack and I need you to come look after me because if a werewolf leaves their pack they can go a bit… insane within the first few months" Kane explained and Kaylee paused in her pacing and narrowed her eyes.
"Did they kick you out?" Kaylee growled and Kane winced at her tone.
"Maybe" Kane muttered before he heard Kaylee swear loudly.
"How long?" Kaylee asked in a tone that suggested Kane better not lie to her anymore.
"A week" Kane said softly and Kaylee swore again.
"You bastard! You should have told me!" Kaylee growled at him angrily. Kane knew that the only reason Kaylee hadn't killed the pack that killed her father was because Josh, Tully and Kane were still part of the pack. But now that Tully and Josh were dead and Kane was thrown out she could go and slaughter them like they slaughtered her father. She heard Jo wake up in the distance and knew she needed to get back and tell them about the latest victim.
"Okay, this is the new plan. I'm going to finish this hunt. I'm going to tell the boys that you need me for a little while. Then I'm going to hunt down my old family and give them the punishment they deserve. Afterwards, I'm going to find you and you are going to help me with my plan to solve this problem because you now owe me after lying to me" Kaylee ordered in a growl.
"Yes, Kaylee" Kane said softly in a submissive tone. Kaylee was the only person he would ever submit to and only if he deserved it. This time he did deserve it.
"Good" She snapped before hanging up on him and storming back to the apartment where Jo, Dean and Sam were talking. They all paused and looked over at Kaylee.
"Where have you been?" Jo asked curiously as the boys looked at her, knowing she was pissed off over something and they just hoped it wasn't them.
"Another girl disappeared last night. I've been finding out about the girl. Her name was Theresa Ellis from apartment 2-F. Her boyfriend reported her missing around dawn" Kaylee said walking into the room, still fuming about Kane. She gave the boys a look that clearly said; 'I was too late'.
"And her apartment?" Jo asked curiously, assuming Kaylee had been there since Dean insisted she was the best.
"Cracks all over the plaster -Walls, ceiling. There's ectoplasm, too. Between that and that tuft of hair, I'd say the sucker's coming from the walls" Kaylee explained walking over to the table.
"But who is it?" Dean asked curiously.
"The building's history's totally clean" Sam added.
"Maybe we're looking in the wrong place" Jo said pulling out an old picture.
"What do you mean?" Kaylee asked, pushing all thoughts of Kane and the demon power out of her head.
"Check this out" Jo said handing Sam a picture of an old empty field.
"An empty field?" Sam asked confused as Dean and Kaylee looked over his shoulder.
"It's where this building was built. Take a look at the one next door. The windows" Jo said as the others look at the windows to see bars.
"Bars. We're next door to a prison?" Dean asked curiously before Jo walked off and pulled out her phone to call Ash.
"So, what really happened?" Dean asked Kaylee softly.
"I heard screaming, I ran up there but was too late. I tried to catch its scent but the ectoplasm messed with my senses" Kaylee explained softly, looking over to see Jo pacing the room on the phone.
"Are you okay? You seemed upset when you came back inside" Sam asked worried, glancing at Dean thinking it was about him and Jo. Kaylee shook her head at Sam silently telling him it wasn't about Dean. Not totally anyways.
"Kane called me… I'll explain later because it's something we need to talk about in depth" Kaylee explained reluctantly, not wanting to hurt the brothers but having no other choice.
"Thanks, Ash. Oh, and if you breathe a word of this to my mom… That's right. I will. With pliers" Jo threatened before hanging up. Dean and Sam shared a worried look about Kaylee but left it alone until the hunt was done.
"Okay. Moyamensing prison… Built in 1835, torn down in 1963. And get this… they used to execute people by hanging them in the empty field next door" Jo explained to Dean, Kaylee and Jo.
"Well, then, we need a list of all the people executed there" Sam said happy to get a lead on the case.
"Ash is already on it" Jo said as Kaylee eyed her warily.
"Jo, can we talk?" Kaylee asked surprising Jo, Dean, Sam and herself. Jo looked at Dean confused but when he nodded to her, she turned back to Kaylee and nodded as well. Kaylee led Jo to the other side of the apartment away from the brothers.
"I'm sorry for how I acted when we first met, I was wrong about you. You have the skills to become a great hunter if given the chance. In fact, I met Dean before he was allowed to go on solo hunts and you would have given him a run for his money" Kaylee apologized sincerely, wanting to make amends because it was clear not only did Dean treat her like family, but so did Sam, which meant whether Kaylee liked it or not, Jo was her family as well. Kaylee held out her hand for Jo to shake. Jo looked at it confused and slightly suspicious before back up at Kaylee's eyes. She smiled and shook her hand.
"Considering I was pretending to be Dean's girlfriend I can understand your reaction but thank you, I have heard inspiring and wonderful things about you from Dean… and Sam. I'm glad you are on our side" Jo said though Kaylee still knew she was suspicious about how Kaylee survived the shot and falling off a cliff. Kaylee would deal with that if the time ever came.
"The names are here" Sam said quietly, knowing Kaylee would be able to hear and moment later Jo and Kaylee walked back into the room.
"157 names?" Kaylee asked looking over Sam's shoulder as he scrolled through them.
"We got to narrow that down" Dean said shaking his head.
"Yeah" Sam agreed as Jo watched the brothers.
"Or else we're gonna be digging up a hell of a lot of stiffs" Kaylee added as she stood behind Sam and placed her arms casually on his shoulders and her head resting on his. Dean was to Sam's right and Jo was to his left.
"Herman Webster Mudgett?" Sam asked confused scrolling through the list of names and clicking on it.
"Yeah?" Jo asked confused.
"Wasn't that H.H. Holmes' real name?" Sam asked looking up at Kaylee and Dean. Dean looked at Kaylee with a roll of his eyes.
"You got to be kidding me" Dean muttered.
"This just got interesting" Kaylee added with a sigh as Dean pulled Sam away from the laptop and knelt in front of it searching for H.H. Holmes'.
"Holmes was executed at Moyamensing May 7, 1896" Dean confirmed.
"H.H. Holmes himself. Come on. I mean, what are the odds?" Sam asked in disbelief. Kaylee looked at them slightly confused because growing up as a werewolf she was never that concerned with 'human' news.
"Who is this guy?" Kaylee asked curiously.
"The term "multi-Murderer"… they coined it to describe Holmes. He was America's first serial killer before anybody knew what a serial killer was" Dean explained to Kaylee.
"He confessed to 27 murders, but some put the death toll at over 100" Sam added.
"And his victim flavour of choice… pretty, petite blondes. He, uh, used chloroform to kill them, which is what I smelled in the hallway last night. At his place, cops found human remains, bone fragments, and long locks of bloody blond hair. Boy, he sure knew how to pick them" Dean said to Jo as Kaylee paced the room. They needed to get Jo out of here, now.
"We just find the bones, salt them, and burn them, right?" Jo asked quickly, trying not to show fear but she reeked of it.
"It's not that easy. His body is buried in town, but it's encased in a couple tons of concrete" Sam explained and Kaylee paused in her pacing before continuing.
"What? Why?" Jo asked voicing Kaylee's own thoughts.
"The story goes that he didn't want anybody mutilating his corpse because, you know, it's what he used to do" Dean explained and Kaylee looked at Dean.
"We might have an even bigger problem than that" Sam said walking over to the table and picking up a photo.
"How does this get bigger?" Jo asked Sam worried.
"Holmes built an apartment building in Chicago. They called it the murder castle. The whole place was a death factory. They had trapdoors, acid vats, quicklime pits. He built these secret chambers... inside the walls. He'd lock his victims in, keep them alive for days. Some, he'd suffocate. Others, he'd let starve to death" Sam explained quickly as realization hit all them.
"So, Theresa could still be alive. She could be inside these walls" Jo concluded.
"We need sledgehammers, crowbars. We got to smash these walls Anywhere thick enough to hide a girl" Dean ordered standing up.
