Chapter 4
"So Dean, how was work today?" Jo asked smiling into the phone. She really had hoped that he would call, but with Dean, you just never knew. And she really knew him. They had grown up together. Hell is mom and her mom were best friends.
"It wasn't too bad. I actually didn't have to work as long as I thought I would. Joey got sick and so Jody called me in just in case, you know?" He was laughing. Sioux Falls was so small, that practically nothing happened exciting here. Good 'ole American small town. He sighed, but oh well. "So dad is going to be out with some of the guys at the legion, and I have the whole house to myself. I figured you probably had a busy day and thought that I would invite you over for dinner and a movie if you were up to it Jo." He really hoped she would say yes. He had feelings for her, but it was just so weird because growing up he never looked at her as anything more than a sister. Or so that is what he kept telling himself. He knew damn well it was a lie, but he really didn't want to screw things up with her. He didn't always have the best track record for it. "Dean, I'll be over in an hour." he heard her say, "Jo just bring yourself, I have everything else." He hung up.
After Dean got out of the shower, he started working on dinner. The phone started ringing again, "Jo, you really don't need to bring anything, I told you that!" Dean said in the phone. "Um, I'm not Jo. And who am I speaking with?" the voice on the other end said.
"I'm Dean, and I'm sorry about that. I thought my friend Jo was calling me back." He said wondering why the hell he was explaining more than he needed to. "I'm sorry, I'm looking for Bobby Singer. Do you know how I could get a hold of him? It's important." The woman on the other line sounded almost desperate. "I'm sorry he is out with some friends, May I ask who is calling?" Dean asks smiling in the phone. Sounds like his dad was finally trying to date. He just hoped that this time went way better than the last woman his dad tried dating. "I'm Mary Winchester, you must be his son right? I'm sorry I can't say more, but I really need him to call me. It's urgent." Mary said realizing that for the first time, that she was speaking with the boy that had been the miracle for her oldest friend in the world. It had been so many years since they had talked and she hoped that Bobby could help her. No one else could possibly understand what she was dealing with. Not even her husband, which she still hadn't told him. "Well Ms. Mary, I could call 'round where my dad is and let him know. Would he know a number to call you back on?" Dean said, he was extremely intrigued by this woman that was on the other end. He was starting to think that his initial thought was wrong. Of course due to his line of work, he was quick on picking up on those in need of help.
After getting Mary's number, he calls around to where his dad is. He waits while Joe went to get his dad. He hoped his dad wasn't too tanked yet. He didn't have to worry about going to pick him because he knew Joe would bring him home. Perks of having a son that was a deputy.
"Dean, is everything ok? Is Jo ok?" His dad asked, concerned. He love Joanna Beth like the daughter he never had, and hoped things were fine. "Yeah dad, she's fine, in fact she just got here," he said looking at Jo, writing on a note pad to let her know what was going on. "Dad, a woman called and said that she needed to talk you as soon as possible. She sounded upset. Her name is Mary Winchester." Dean said, looking at Jo while she went to cooking what he was going to. "Balls!" Dean heard and almost lost it. It never got old hearing the old man swear with that. He gave his dad his number, and got off the phone.
He walked over to Jo, spun her around and planted a kiss on her. Jo looked shocked. He knew she felt it too. He simply smiled at her, walked to the fridge and pulled out two beers. He opened them and gave one to Jo, and proceeded to start helping with the rest of their dinner.
While all of this was taking place, none of them even knew that there was someone watching over them. Anna was shaking her head. She already saw that it was beginning. "So, it's already starting?" Anna knew that voice and turned around and saw Michael standing there. He'd already known what was happening, but he seriously hated Zachariah, and knew Anna felt the same way. The thing was, he was fully aware of what would happen had things stayed the way they were going. He knew that Dean wouldn't have said yes and that he would have ended up in the cage with his little brother, but as much as he loved Lucifer, he did not want to be in a cage in hell with him.
