Dean pulled up outside the building right behind Bobby's car. Bobby was leaning on the side of his car waiting for the brothers. He pushed off from leaning on his car and started to walk to the Impala and the Winchesters. The brothers exited the car and Bobby couldn't help that Sam was walking a little hunched over compared to how he usually walked, Bobby also noted the way that Sam was avoiding looking at the Building while Dean was looking it up and down appraising it.
"What you got Bobby?" Sam asked in his normal voice but Bobby could tell he was agitated.
"Pretty pissed off poltergeist by the sounds of it. No one's been hurt but it's only a matter of time"
Sam and Dean nodded, "How's the EMF?" Dean asked.
"Off the charts" Bobby answered
"Is it the whole building or just a certain apartment?" Dean asked, Bobby knew he was really asking if it was Sam's old apartment. Bobby and Dean had been keeping a secret watch over the apartment and building for some time now. Since Dean told Bobby about what happened at their old house in Lawrence and how it was haunted by a number or spirits and almost killed Jenny and her kids.
"Seems to be the whole building but I think it may have started in one apartment. Seems it started when a new tenant moved into this apartment that had been vacant for a few years"
Dean nodded solemnly; he knew Bobby was talking about Sam's old apartment. Sam could tell he was missing something in this conversation and it didn't take a rocket scientist to work it out. He knew they meant the apartment that Jess and he shared. Why else would Bobby have come all the way out here and Dean be so quiet.
"Which apartment?" Sam asked finally looking at the building
"Sam...-"Bobby began
"Your old one" Dean said straight, he wasn't going to try and side step this; he knew it would be better if he just told Sam honest and outright.
Sam nodded and took a deep breath, "What's our course of action?"
Bobby and Dean were both quiet, not sure how to treat this situation. They both knew how they would usually treat the situation research, salt, burn, drink. But there was the very real possibility that the ghost may have been Jess. Bobby, Dean and Sam all knew that Jess was probably the only person to have died a violent death in the building.
"Maybe grab the EMF readers and find out where it's most active" Dean couldn't bring up salt and burning so he thought maybe scope it out and wing it from there
Sam nodded his agreement to go along with what Dean had said, Bobby looked at him questioningly for a moment before nodding.
"Alright, be safe though" Bobby said looking fixedly at Dean. They grabbed their EMF readers and shotguns and did their best to hide them by ducking them close to their bodies. It wasn't easy but it was easier than getting screamed at by pedestrians who spotted their weaponry.
They walked into the building and all three started to walk up the stairs. Bobby went into the first floor with his EMF reader ready to search for activity with his trusty salt filled shotgun. Sam and Dean continued up to the second floor. Dean holding the EMF reader while Sam manned the shotgun.
No red lights went up on this floor and the brothers looked at each and nodded before proceeding back to the stair case where they ran into Bobby who had evidently finished inspecting the first floor.
"Find anything?" Sam asked him
"Not a damn thing"
"We'll keep looking then, Bobby you take the third floor and we'll get the fourth" Dean said and Bobby nodded leading the way up the stairs and exiting at the third floor knowing that Dean would have wanted the fourth floor all along.
Sam and Dean made their way to the fourth floor and the EMF reader barked its danger. The red light's lit up half way and the reader squealed. Sam's heart sunk, Why did it have to be this floor? He thought. As they made their way to Sam's old apartment the rest of the red lights lit up when they reached the door.
Sam went speechless, he couldn't help but think what if it was Jess's spirit. As a good hunter he knew that it was most defiantly her but he wouldn't let his mind finish that thought. If he thought that then he would think about Jess and salt and burning and he couldn't do that. Dean was thinking the same thing or rather trying not to think the same thing.
Bobby came up the stairs and saw them standing still as though frozen outside a door that he assumed was Sam's old apartment. He walked over them and wondered if he should tell them what he found.
"There's some down on the third floor"
"And I'd bet there's some on the floor above" Dean said holding his EMF out for Bobby to see.
Bobby pulled off his hat and ran his hand through his hair before replacing his hat in its usual place.
"Sam?" they heard a familiar voice from behind them and all the hunters turned around quickly to where the voice came from near the stairs. "You have my number now so usually people call first"
"Adrianne? What are you doing here? What are you talking about?" Sam asked
Adrianne eyed Sam suspiciously thinking that maybe this was just some kind of very weird Winchester joke. "I live there" she said pointing to the door they were standing in front of.
"How long have you lived here?" Dean and Sam said in unison
"Nearly a mon-Oh my god, is that a gun?" she said taking a step back towards the stairs preparing to run.
When she'd told Sam that he was lucky he didn't run into her parents she wasn't kidding. They were both police officers who had looked over cases that involved Sam. The last they heard was that Sam and his murderous brother Dean had died in a helicopter crash. Adrianne never believed any of it because she knew Jess would have been disappointed if she knew that her family thought her boyfriend was a homicidal maniac who killed many people with his brother and even desecrated graves. Plus she'd met Sam when she was fourteen and Jess first brought him home, Adrianne had good sense of people and Sam didn't scream dangerous.
She never believed any of it and when she saw Sam today she knew he hadn't done any of what her father had found out. But when your sister's boyfriend who your father had been tracking and telling you stories about for years shows up at your apartment with a gun, you get a little worried.
"It's not how it looks" Dean said
Adrianne took another step back towards the stairs, "How do you know where I live?" She took another step back and suddenly felt pressure on her wrist.
She felt herself being pulled by her wrist backwards. She stubbornly pulled against it to no avail. She saw Sam running towards her screaming her name and the other man with the Winchester brothers raise his shotgun in her direction and then she fell backwards. She caught snapshots of the ceiling, the stairs, the bottom of the staircase, her own arm moving in front of her trying to stop herself from falling more and then she saw Sam followed by darkness.
