Chapter Three
When Dean walked back into the motel room, he found Sam sitting on his bed watching the television.
"Thought I told you to get some rest." Dean said looking at the TV screen. "Oh God."
"What? I thought it might be helpful." Sam replied uncomfortably.
"Sam, you're watching Pirate's of the Caribbean 2!" Dean exclaimed then added, "The only good part about this movie is Keira Knightly."
"It has a Kraken in it. I thought we could see what we're up against." Sam said fast forwarding to a scene that the Kraken was in.
Dean looked at the screen and watched the giant squid start to attack a small ship. "That is one bigass squid. How the Hell are we supposed to kill it?"
"Well, in this movie, they use explosives. They don't kill it in the movie, but they definitely hurt it." Sam said, "We can also try… just about anything. It will be hard."
"Then why the Hell did we come here if we can't kill it?" Dean asked angrily. "Why did you start having those visions if we couldn't do anything?"
"I don't know. Usually my visions are linked to the demon, maybe it has something to do with it." Sam suggested.
"Still, I really don't think we should go on the ship if we aren't sure that we can kill it." Dean said. "Will you turn that damn thing off?" Dean added as the Kraken took down another ship.
Sam turned off the TV and asked Dean what he found out at the police station.
Dean smirked, "I had a lovely chat with the Chief of Police. He doesn't believe the legend of the Kraken, so he's letting ships go out still. He was kind enough to share the legend with me."
Earlier in Anderson's office:
Dean wondered where Anderson got such a scar.
"Okay then. The Kraken is this giant squid; you might've seen it in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean." Anderson started.
"Great movie. Keira Knightly does an excellent job…" Dean said, and then stopped when he saw Anderson frowning.
"Anyway, this squid lives in the deepest, darkest part of the ocean and only comes out to do its master's bidding. It doesn't come out unless it's called. Usually the only time it is called is to sink a ship if someone is on the ship that the master isn't friendly with. I know it doesn't exist because my father told me he killed its master and it died as well." Anderson explained.
"So, it once was a real thing?" Dean asked with interest.
"Yes, once upon a time. I try and tell people that it's just a legend so everyone can be calm. But then ships started going down and people are starting to get suspicious." Anderson said shaking his head.
"Can you explain that? How are ships going down if the Kraken's dead?" Dean asked eager for answers.
"I can't explain that." Anderson said slightly fearful.
"Could it be possible that there is more than one creature?" Dean asked persistently.
"It's possible, but I don't know." Anderson said more fearful.
"Chief, do you mind me asking how you got your scar?" Dean asked trying to act like Sam.
"The master of the Kraken to me captive when my father tried to kill him." Anderson said, "Damn near cut the skin off of my face."
"How old were you?" Dean asked softly.
"Ten. That's when my father killed him. I've been keeping an eye out, but the Kraken has never come out of its den. Not since that day." Anderson said, "It must be dead."
"It can't come out on its own? Not even to feed?" Dean asked curiously.
"It can't think for itself. I'm sorry Detective, but that's all I know." Anderson said, "Now please, take your names and leave." Anderson concluded their talk and got up. He unlocked the door and opened it for Dean.
Back in the motel:
"Do you think he was telling the truth?" Sam asked after Dean told his story.
"I believe him." Dean said with a shrug.
"We still should keep him as a suspect." Sam said, "He was the last one to see the Kraken alive. He could be hiding something."
"He did reference the movie. Maybe there is fact in it." Dean said, "Is there any information about the master in it?"
"Davy Jones." Sam said, "He uses his own heart to control the Kraken. He also can't set foot on land except for once every ten years."
"Then Anderson can't be our guy. He's been walking on land for years." Dean said with a sigh. He pick up his phone, "Put the movie back on."
"Who are you calling?" Sam asked turning on the TV.
"Room service. I don't know about you, but I'm starving." Dean said dialing the phone.
Dean ordered two burgers for each of them with a side of fries and large Pepsies. They watched the movie while they ate and didn't speak. When he finished eating, Sam got up from his seat to clear his mess, but then suddenly had another vision.
"Sammy! Are you okay?" Dean asked leaning over Sam who had fallen onto the floor.
"I'm okay." Sam said sitting up and rubbing the back of his head where he fell.
"Did another ship go down?" Dean asked bringing Sam a glass of water.
"Yes. Same thing as the last one." Sam said and then took a long drink of water.
Dean looked at the clock. It was almost midnight.
"If we're getting on that ship tomorrow, we gotta get up early. You need to get some rest." Dean said pulling Sam to his feet.
"Dean, make sure we packed everything." Sam said lying down on his bed and almost instantly going to sleep.
"Sure Sammy." Dean said turning out the light by Sam's bed.
