Chapter: 11
"Six Degrees of Separation "
"Hello?"
"Yeah, Sheppard?" I say.
"Roddy?! Where are you?! What do y..." I cut him off.
"Less shouting, please! You're giving me a headache..."
"Where's Rodney?" he asks.
"What do you mean 'where's Rodney?' How many possible places could I be? Seriously, I'm talking to you right now! It can't be that hard to figure out or did you lose a few braincells when Roddy knocked you out? Honestly." I say in one breath.
"Rodney?"
"Yes, yes. Where you listening to ANYTHING I just said?"
"But... you were... how did... what just...?" He stammers out.
I sigh. 'Maybe you did hit him too hard.' I think.
'Hey! Don't look at me! I had nothing to do it.' Roddy says. 'It's not my fault he was born like that.'
I snort. 'True.' I think.
"I see nothing funny about this." John says.
"Neither do I. Roddy just said something. He insulted you. It was funny. I laughed, end of story."
"What did he...?" he starts to ask.
"Nothing you need to know. Anyway, where are you?"
"In a motel, just outside of Colorado Springs. Where are..." I cut him off again.
"'The Oxford Hotel' in Denver."
There's a pause on his end. "How on earth did get THAT far, that fast!?"
"Mustang's can haul. Plus I wasn't exactly going the speed limit..."
"I'll say."
"I need you to make a call. I would do it myself but you have my phone, which by the way, better not be damaged."
I hear him sigh. "With everything that's going on, you would be the one to be worried about a phone."
I was about to say something but he beat me to it. "No. It's not damaged, Rodney."
"Good." I say. "Now, if you press the "up button" on my phone, it should bring up the menu." I pause.
"Did you do it?" I ask.
"Hold on... Ok, got it."
"Look for something that says "contact list". Select and look though it until you find the name Sam W."
There was a pause. "Ummm, Rodney?"
"What? Did you do it yet?"
"No, but the Sam you're talking about wouldn't happen to have the last name of 'Winchester', would he?"
"Yeah, Sam Winchester. Why?"
"Rodney, I already called Sam, or rather he called me. He's standing right next to me, actually."
"The why didn't you say something! That could have saved a whole lot of time."
"I didn't know if you knew him!"
I knew once he said that he instantly realized what he said. I know that, but still I can't just leave it like that.
"Sam's number is in MY phone. How can I NOT know him?"
"Yeah, yeah. I know."
"Give the phone to him." I say.
"You're on speaker..."
"How long...?"
"Since I answered the phone."
"Oh. Hey, Sam." I say.
"Hey, Rodney. Apparently you haven't changed." Sam says.
"Does that annoying older brother still tag along with you?" I ask.
Suddenly I hear a new voice. "That annoying older brother's name is Dean and doesn't tag." He defends himself.
I continue talking to Sam. "Then you haven't changed either."
"Wish I could say the same for you." Dean said.
"Yeah, I'm guessing you figured it out."
"So, your still possessed?" Sam asks.
"Yep, not as interesting as it sounds."
"So how are you talking to us now?" John says.
"IF you're talking to us now." Dean interjects.
"We've come a... truce, so to speak."
"You made a deal?" Dean asks.
"What are you? Deaf, dumb AND stupid? No, of course not. More of an accord."
"And the difference is...?" Dean says to no one in particular.
"There isn't 'accord' just sounds better." Says John.
'Hey, I guess John Boy was listened to at least one thing I said to him. Well, you thought it, but still details.' Roddy thought.
"He should do it more often." I say out loud, forgetting I was on the phone.
"Who should do what more often?" asks Sam.
"Did I say that out loud? Roddy said something."
"What?" Dean asks.
"I said," Roddy replays, temporarily taking control. "That even though John acts in such a manner that gives others the impression that he lacks the normal capability's that other ordinary people contain, such as a brain and or common sense, he has however, albeit just recently, proved to me that looks can be deceiving." He pauses. "Sorry for trying to kill you, by the way."
There was a long pause on the other line. "Umm...?" I hear John say.
"It's a compliment and an apology Sheppard, take it before he changes his mind." I say.
"Oh." John says. "It's Ok and thanks, I think..."
"Seeing as how I'm in Denver and you're 15 minutes away from Colorado Springs, I'm thinking I should be the one to go to you."
"That's probably the best idea." Said Sam, "Do you need the address?" he asks.
"No, I got it. I activated my cell's GPS. I'll be there in an hour." I say.
"Alright. See you then." John says. "Oh, and Rodney?"
"Yeah?"
"Try and go the speed limit."
I smirk. "I'll try."
"Was that you or Roddy talking?" John asks.
"Little bit of both, actually. See you in an hour." I say, then I hang up the phone.
'And now the trip back' Roddy thinks.
As I garb the keys to the hotel room I think. "You know, It's trips like these that make you want to hurry up and get to point B either that or wish you never left point A."
'I second that notion.' Roddy says.
I head down the stairs to the front desk and turn in the keys.
I walk out to the car and open the door. As I sit down and close the car door, the car starts.
"See, now that I could get use to. Telekinesis that doesn't end with me having to Ascend or die, gives more time to actually enjoy it."
'Yep, it does have it's benefits. Now, shall we?'
45 minuets later
I drive up to the motel. "Finally." I say.
I park and get out as the engine shuts off. I look at the room numbers and stop when I reach room 142
and knock.
Sam opens the door. He gives me a funny look and checks his watch. "I thought John told you not to speed."
"Ha, it's nice to see you to." I say.
"Yeah, same here." Sam steps aside so I can come in. He was about to say something but when I stepped inside he stopped what he was about to say and had a surprised look on his face.
"What?" I ask.
"Uhhh, nothing. It's nothing." he says quickly. Sam notices that he didn't have to break the salt line across the door for me to come in. Something that demons CAN'T cross. Everyone else, Roddy and myself included, failed to notice such an important detail...
"Yeah, Ok." and I continue in. I see Dean sitting on the couch with his feet on the table and Sheppard sitting in the chair across from him.
"Hey." John says.
I wave one hand. "Hi."
Sam sits on the couch next to Dean.
"Ok, now what?" asks John.
"Now we get demon 1 out of demon 2." says Dean.
"Oh, ha, ha. I come all this way just to be insulted by Dumb and Dumber." I say.
"Now that's not nice. Insulting Sammy and John like that." Dean replys.
"Oh, believe me," I say. "I'm not talking about them."
Dean was about to say something else when Sam cuts in. "Rodney, can talk to you in the kitchen?" he says and then turns to John. "Rodney and my brother, they don't like each other very much."
John smirks. "I kinda got that."
"Dean can you get everything ready? I'll be right back." Sam says and then leaves without waiting for a response.
Dean gets up and passes John some chalk and a book. "We need to draw this," here points to the book. "Here." and then points to the floor.
John studies the book for a moment. "What is it?" he asks.
"Devils Trap. Get a demon in one of those, they're stuck, powerless. Then we do an exorcism."
"So, that the plan?" John asks.
"Yep. Pretty much."
"Alright then. Let's get started."
About 15 minuets later Sam and Rodney return from the kitchen. "Are we set?" I ask.
"Pretty much." John says.
"Seriously though, not to jinx it, but I don't understand how this can be going over so smoothly. Usually demons are kicking and screaming about being sent back to hell, and this one is going willingly?" Dean says.
I give him a look. "He's not too bright is he?" I think.
'No, no. I don't think so.' Roddy says.
"Roddy says you're an idiot." I say. Dean looks as if he is about to say something but I continue. "Ok, I well said it but he agrees."
Before it escalates Sam steps in. "How about we get started?"
"Yeah... lets." I say as I look at the freshly drawn Devils Trap on the floor. Dean grabs a chair and puts it in the middle and points to it. I roll my eyes but I sit. Dean gets some rope and ties my hands and feet to the chair.
"Is this really necessary?" I ask.
Sam just shrugs and John gives me a look of sympathy.
Sam picks up a thick leather notebook and flips though the pages until he finds the right one. He looks at me. "Ready?" he asks.
'Hit it.' Roddy thinks. I sigh. "As ready as we'll ever be." Sam nods and starts to read.
"Exorcizo te, omnis spiritus immundein nomine Dei Patris omnipotentis." As Sam is reading, pages from books that are lying around on the couch and beds, start to turn by themselves.
"Et in noimine Jesu Christi Filii ejus, Domini et Judicis nostri, et in virtute Spiritus Sancti, ut descedas ab hoc plasmate Dei."
That was the last thing I remember. Well, besides the excruciating pain that put me unconscious.
Two Weeks Later
Thursday July 26th 2007
8:28 p.m
Atlantis, Rodney's Lab
The paper work that's involved with getting possessed is hell, no pun intended. So after two weeks of paper work, serious explaining, and multiple psychotic evaluations, here I am shutting down my latest project to go meet Sheppard, Teyla, and Ronon for some 'welcome back thing they've got planed.
Then Sheppard walks in. Speak of the devil. Again, no pun intended. "Hey, Rodney. You forget what's going on tonight?" he asks sarcastically.
"Of course not." I say with equal sarcasm. "I'm shutting down. I'll be there in five minuets. Seriously."
He gives me a look. "Ok, don't make me come back down here again or else."
"Oh yes, ha ha I'm scared." I say.
"Five minuets." he says and gives me a look.
"Five minuets." I say, and he leaves the lab.
As I shut down the last laptop hum quietly to myself. "Early one morning, just as the sun was rising,
I heard a young maid sing in the valley below: Oh, don't deceive me, Oh, never leave me, How could you use a poor maiden so?"
As I walk out my lab, and with no one around, I smirk and let my eyes turn black...
The End?
A/N2: Yes there will be a sequel! Come on guys I'm not THAT cruel to leave it like that! It will be called "Faith and Misery". If you would like me to let you know when I post it, email me at: dude(under score)its(under score)sam(under score)not(under score)sammy (at) yahoo . com without the spaces or parentheses. If you would like to see the banner for "Faith and Misery" e-mail me and I'll send you the address. The song used is called "Early One Morning" and is an old English Folksong.
(p.s quezovercoatl: your chap when Sam and Dean explains everything to John WILL come. Trust me.)
