Before I start this chapter, I would like to thank zexydemyx66, who is my one and only reviewer. I really appreciate the praise! You made me excited to write and I loved hearing your feedback.

"We need to leave." Dean ordered.

Sam nodded and Jess watched numbly as he began pulling clothes and other effects out of drawers and cabinets. He pulled a long, sharp knife from under the mattress, and Jess shuddered.

Dean caught it and looked at her. "You okay?"

Jess nodded shakily. "Where are we going?"

"Away for a bit. We need to make sure whatever came for you won't be back."

Jess saw Brady's face in her mind, his eyes black and his mouth mocking. "What was it? And what happened to Brady?"

"Brady is dead." Dean said bluntly.

Sam looked up warningly. "Dean."

"It's okay, Sam." Jess murmured. But she wasn't so sure of that anymore. As Sam moved around the apartment, she saw several weapons appear and be placed in the bag he was packing. He pulled out a third knife from one of the drawers, and Jess found herself wondering what she had gotten herself into.

She had known Sam for almost two years, and never had she seen this side of him, the side that could calmly and cooly pack a bag to leave town, the part that was so comfortable with deadly weapons, the part that could watch his girlfriend nearly die and then turn around and act like it was normal.

Jess hoped the brothers were going to explain things soon, because she had no idea what was going on, and frankly it was scaring her a little.

Dean finally broke the silence. "We can head to Blackwater ridge. See if we can catch up to Dad and find out what he knows."

Sam made a face. "You want to take Jess hunting, Dean?"

Dean shrugged, "It's not like we have much of a choice, Sam. She's just gotten her indiction letter to the supernatural."

"It's induction, Dean." Sam rolled his eyes. "And just because there was an attack doesn't mean we can't still hide her away somewhere, find another option."

"What other option, Sam? She is going to be safest where we can keep an eye on her."

"Dean. I'm not dragging Jess into this mess…"

"AHEM." Both brothers turned to Jess. She raised her chin and met first Dean's gaze, then Sam's. "As I am the party under discussion here, I would like to have a say. And I say, take me with you. You obviously know how to deal with whatever that was, and I am willing to trust you."

Sam looked as if he was about to protest, but Dean cut him off. "Alright then. Let's go."

Jess headed for the door, Dean behind her. She noticed Sam stop Dean with a hand on his arm. "Dean. If we are going to do this, you watch out for her. Watch her over me."

"Sammy…"

"Over me, Dean. You got that?"

Oh, those boys definitely needed to explain some things.
