I opened my eyes quickly, hearing bare feet slap against the concrete floor towards me. I turned and waited for the person to appear around the corner.
"Oh, hey, Lilly. Glad to see you're alive." Her eyes were barely opened and her hair was a mess. She squinted, rubbing her eyes before flopping down in a chair next to me. I watched her try to comb out her hair with her fingers and straighten the wrinkled, oversized sweatshirt she wore, which obviously wasn't hers.
"So, what's for breakfast?" She continued to try and make herself look decent when Tyler appeared in my view, sitting in a chair next to her and wrapping his arms around her. I got a bit uneasy, so I looked away from the couple. I had never seen them do that before. It was strange, I had only seen a little bit of cuddling and holding hands from the two of them, never them lying on each other. They pulled away from each other's embrace and from the corner of my eye it looked like Tyler was playing with her hair, running his fingers through it and twisting the auburn mess around his wrist. I tapped my foot impatiently, waiting for Sam to return back from his quest to get us nourishment. To my surprise, he opened the front door of the bunker within seconds of my thought. He carried a few styrofoam boxes in his arms and looked as if he was struggling, so I stood and helped him out. I felt a little bad, I knew what Lilly liked for breakfast, but I didn't know Tyler enough to know what he liked, I could read his mind, but I really didn't want to intrude on any private thoughts he had. I opened the steaming containers, looking through them all and decided who's was who's. I slid Lilly's over to her, which consisted of a simple pancake and sausage breakfast. I had Same get Tyler the same thing, not quite sure of what he would want. Tyler stared into his tray, disappointment flooding his expression.
"I didn't know what you liked, so I just had Sam get you what he got for Lilly." Tyler shrugged,
"It's fine. I'll survive."
Sam slid my hot chocolate over to me, then Lilly's and Tyler's coffee, which I passed to the two of them. I leaned back in the chair, closing my eyes and relaxing as I nibbled on a crunchy piece of bacon. I didn't bother in touching my drink, it was hot enough to burn me and the bacon also distracted me from it. For a few minutes all I heard was crunching and chewing and other noises that were made when several people were eating. It really, really irritated me, I had always had a problem with people chewing or breathing so I ignored them all.
"So. . . have you guys found anything on Dean?" I cracked an eye open, taking a full bite of the bacon in my hand. I watched Sam as he ate, and he stared back at me, very hopeful of what I would say.
"Either he's hiding and doesn't want to be found, which I doubt, or he's moving around way too quickly 8px; text-align: justify;"for us to track. I would go ask around a few states if they've seen any dude that likes to beat up assholes and bang hot chicks but it's really a lot of work to just randomly go teleporting places. So, no. I haven't heard anything that might sound like something he would do." Lilly kept her head down out of guilt, and Tyler didn't meet any of our eyes.
"We. . . haven't really been doing anything. Sorry." Sam shook his head at the two of them, telling them that it was fine, they weren't really in a hurry. He looked straight down at his food, indicating that he was extremely upset about something. I stood up and wiped my greasy fingers on the thighs of my jeans.
"Well, lemme go get my laptop and maybe I can do some poking around, see if I can find anything." I left without any acknowledgement from the others, but Sam looked up to watch me leave. I wasted no time to get back to the lounge and as soon as I walked in I noticed that the atmosphere was different, a little more tense than it had been when I left.
"Ah, here's the little angel. Now we can properly talk." I sighed, rolling my eyes in Crowley's direction. I placed my laptop on the table I was sitting at and sat down, opening it to start it up and look at my mail. I heard Crowley approach me and with just a slap to the back of the screen of my laptop, it flipped shut.
"You won't be needing that right now. I've heard a few things and I think you have a chance in Flat Lick, Kentucky. There are a few things that match the description of what Dean would probably do." I glared up at him and he didn't take his eyes away from me. It was unnaturally quiet and I felt a bit uncomfortable with him looking down on me the way he was. I averted my gaze from him and looked at Sam, who was starting to stand up.
"I'll go with you." I watched him take a swallow of his coffee and grab his jacket off of the back of the chair, slipping it on skillfully.
"Sam, you know Dean is dangerous. Just let me and Castiel handle it, we can take care of it." He protested at first, but I easily convinced him why it was a bad idea to go. Castiel didn't really care, and Tyler and Lilly didn't seem to mind either.
"It'll be easy, Flat Lick is a very small city, you'll find him, I guarantee it." I was about to glare at him again but Crowley had already left. I was a little reluctant to go, but Castiel insisted on hurrying, Dean could have been anywhere by the time we arrived.
"All right then, Cas. I'm taking you so we don't land in different spots."
