Kaylee sat on the lounge in shock over losing Sammy when Bobby came and knelt in front of her.
"Kaylee… I know it's hard… but we got to focus. We got bigger things coming. The end of the world… and we got to do our part" Bobby said softly making Kaylee's dead eyes look up at him. Bobby sighed and pulled Kaylee in for a hug before there was a knock on the front door. Kaylee and Bobby both whipped their heads around to the front door but it was Kaylee that could smell Dean… and Sam. Kaylee ran over and opened the door. "Hey, Kaylee. Hey, Bobby" Sam said weakly as Kaylee looked at Dean and he flinched under her fury before she turned to Sam and crushed him in a hug. "Sam. It's good to... see you up and around" Bobby said in shock. "Yeah. Well, thanks for patching me up. You two Kaylee" Sam said as Kaylee still hadn't let him go. "Don't mention it" Bobby said softly as Kaylee reluctantly let Sam go and they walked into the house.
"Well, Sam's better. And we're back in it now. So, what do you know?" Dean asked as if nothing had happened. Bobby and Kaylee glared at him furiously. Something that Sam did notice. "Well, I found something. But I'm not sure what the hell it means" Bobby explained walking over to his desk. "What is it?" Sam asked. "Demonic omens. Like a frigging tidal wave. Cattle deaths, lightning storms. They've skyrocketed from out of nowhere. Here. All around here. Except for one place. Southern Wyoming" Bobby explained showing them the map he had been working on.
"Wyoming?" Dean asked confused. "Yeah, that one area's totally clean. Spotless. It's almost as if... the demons are surrounding it" Kaylee explained trying to keep her fury in check. "You don't know why?" Sam asked "No, and by this point my eyes are swimming. Would you take a look at it? Maybe you can catch something I couldn't" Bobby said to Sam who nodded while Kaylee looked over at Dean. "Come on, Dean. Bobby's got some more books in the truck. Help me lug them in" Kaylee said as Dean hesitated but nodded after the look Bobby gave him. Dean followed Kaylee outside to the junkyard before she spun around angrily.
"You stupid ass. What did you do? What did you do?" Kaylee snapped but when Dean didn't reply she punched him in the face. "You made a deal. For Sam, didn't you? How long they give you?" Kaylee shouted picking up Dean and shoving him against a nearby car. "Kaylee" Dean said softly but Kaylee shoved him hard. "How long?" She demanded through tear filled eyes. "One year" Dean admitted making Kaylee snarl in pain both physical pain, emotional pain. "Damn it, Dean" She swore. "Which is why we gotta find this yellow-eyed son of a bitch. That's why I'm gonna kill him myself. I mean, I got nothing to lose now, right?" Dean asked and Kaylee spun around to face him. "I could throttle you" She snarled at him. "And send me downstairs ahead of schedule?" Dean joked weakly. "What is it with you Winchesters, huh? You, your dad, you're both just itching to throw yourselves down the pit" Kaylee snapped angry and hurt. "That's my point. Dad brought me back, Kaylee, I'm not even supposed to be here. At least this way, something good can come out of it, you know. Like my life can mean something" Dean said trying to defend himself.
"What, and it didn't before? Have you got that low an opinion of yourself? Are you that screwed in the head? What about us? Did being with me mean nothing to you? Did you even care?" Kaylee yelled tears running down her cheeks again. "I couldn't let him die, Kaylee. I couldn't. He's my brother" Dean said softly. "How is your brother gonna feel when he knows you're going to hell? How'd you feel when you knew your dad went for you?" Kaylee spat. "You can't tell him. You take another shot at me, whatever you gotta do. But please don't tell him" Dean begged desperately. "Did you even think of me when you made that deal?" Kaylee asked softly making Dean look away because he couldn't lie to her. She never even crossed his mind. Kaylee wiped away her tears and nodded numbly at him before they heard someone walking through the gate. They hid behind a car and waiting until they could attack but it was Ellen.
"Ellen?" Dean asked but hugging her tightly. Kaylee left them alone and walked back inside to tell Bobby and Sam. Sam looked at her worried cause her eyes were red from the crying but her face remained emotionless. Dean brought Ellen inside and Bobby immediately poured a shot a holy water. "Bobby, is this really necessary?" Ellen asked and Bobby shrugged. "Just a belt of holy water. Shouldn't hurt" Bobby said as Kaylee stood by the door, leaning on the frame. Dean and Sam watched her worried but her face never changed. "Whiskey now, if you don't mind" Ellen said after taking the shot of holy water to prove she wasn't a demon.
"Ellen, what happened? How'd you get out?" Dean asked. "I wasn't supposed to. I was supposed to be in there with everybody else. But we ran out of pretzels, of all things. Was just dumb luck. Anyway, that's when Ash called, panic in his voice. He told me to look in the safe. Then the call cut out. By the time I got back, the flames were sky high. Everybody was dead. I couldn't have been gone more than 15 minutes" Ellen said taking a few shots of whiskey. "Sorry, Ellen" Sam said sadly. "Lot of good people died in there. And I got to live. Lucky me" Ellen muttered as Kaylee stepped forward.
"You mentioned a safe" Kaylee said making Ellen turn around to face her. "You must be Kaylee? The werewolf. Jo has told me all about you" Ellen explained looking between Dean and Kaylee but their faces remained emotionless. "The safe" Bobby said trying to break the silence. "A hidden safe we keep in the basement" Ellen explained looking back at Bobby. "Demons get what was in it?" Bobby asked. "No" Ellen said pulling out a map and showing it to the hunters.
"Wyoming? What does that mean?" Dean asked as they spent the next few hours researching. "Kaylee… what's going on between you and Dean?" Sam asked softly but Kaylee's mask never changed. She simply shrugged. "Ask him yourself" She replied coldly before Bobby walked into the room reading a book. "I don't believe it" Bobby said. "What, you got something?" Kaylee asked reading over Bobby's shoulder. "A lot more than that. Each of these X's is an abandoned frontier church, all mid-19th century. And all of them built by Samuel Colt" Bobby explained pointing to the map. "Samuel Colt? The demon-killing, gun-making Samuel Colt?" Dean asked shocked. "Yep. And there's more. He built private railway lines connecting church to church. That just happens to lay out like this" Bobby said drawing on the map to make it a giant devil's trap.
"Tell me that's not what I think it is" Dean said.
"It's a Devil's Trap. A hundred-square-mile Devil's Trap" Sam said shocked. "That's brilliant. Iron lines, demons can't cross" Dean said impressed. "I never heard of anything that massive" Ellen muttered. "No one has. All these years none of the lines are broken? I mean, it still works?" Dean asked confused and Kaylee stepped forward. "Definitely" She said simply making the hunters and Ellen turn to her. "How do you know?" Dean asked and Kaylee's smirked at him. "All those omens Bobby found. I mean, the demons, they must be circling and they can't get in" Kaylee explained simply. "Yeah, well, they're trying" Bobby said softly.
"Why? What's inside?" Ellen asked worried. "That's what I've been looking for. And, uh, there's nothing... except an old cowboy cemetery right in the middle" Dean explained pointing to the map. "Why? What's so important about a cemetery? What's Colt trying to protect?" Sam asked and Kaylee cocked her head to the side thinking. "What if Colt wasn't trying to keep demons out? What if he was keeping something in?" Kaylee said thinking out loud.
"Now, that's a comforting thought" Ellen muttered. "Yeah, you think?" Kaylee said sarcastically. "Could they, do it? Could they get inside?" Sam asked Bobby worried. "This thing's so powerful... you'd practically need an A-bomb to destroy it. No way a full-blood demon gets across" Bobby said and Kaylee looked over at Sam sadly. "No. But I know who could" Kaylee said and they all looked at her realizing she meant Jake.
