Sam crawled out of bed at dawn. Dean was already up and on Sam's computer "what are you doing?" Sam asked noting his brother's ignorance of modern technology. After a short debate about the daily plan Sam left in search of coffee.
Cara woke up from the dream feeling numb and quickly dressed. Suddenly there was a knock on her door. She pulled the Notre Dame Hoodie on before answering the door. "Oh hey Max" she said looking at the older scruffy man in his late forties standing there. He smiled as she turned so he could come in. "So how is the case going?" he asked as he sat down on the arm chair closest to the door "I haven't gotten her to talk on her own yet" Cara said as she pulled her hair out of its ponytail and readjusted it pulling stray hairs back.
They headed into the diner and found a booth. Cara held her laptop under one arm and the case file and her keys in a free hand. After setting the things occupying her hands down she shrugged out of her black peat coat and scarf pilling them on the inside corner of her booth. They sat across from each other as a waitress in her late teens approached them wearing the diners' uniform with a black apron tied around her waist. "What can I get ya this morning?" the girl asked holding a pad of paper in one hand and a black ball point pen in the other. "I'll have an omelet with cheese and ham, a side of hash browns, and a cup of coffee" Cara said as the girl wrote it all down "any cream or sugar for the coffee?" the girl asked. "No just black" Cara responded as Max ordered a cup of coffee and a bowl of oatmeal. After they finished eating they headed for Louisville.
Sam and Dean got out of the Impala and headed inside the psychiatric center. Annie the nurse from yesterday was working at the front reception desk "agent Scully" she said in her attempt at a sexy voice "Annie" Sam replied as the brothers headed for the elevator. Once inside with the doors closed Dean started to laugh under his breath "What?" Sam said looking at Dean "oh nothing" Dean replied with a laugh "Dean obviously you have something to say" Sam said pressing the second floor button. Dean just shook his head and stopped laughing.
Cara and Max walked into the psychiatric center passing the reception desk heading for the elevator. They walked down the hall towards the large open TV room. "Why don't you let me try talking to her before we try your alternative Cara" Max said as they stopped at the nursing station. "Fine" Cara said "go right ahead" She said writing Annabelle Barry on the sign in sheet, she was using Rachel's older sisters name as identity while she was here because she knew for a fact that none of the nurses would question it.
Max left Cara at the nurses' station and walked into the room. He noticed the two men in black attempting to talk to Rachel with no result. He walked over "Gentlemen I'm going to have to ask you two to leave" he said in his best authoritative voice as the two men turned around he recognized them "awe shit you two here" he said with a laugh "shoulda known with the whole X-Files cover which one a ya Scully" Max said with a laugh.
As Dean turned around he recognized the old man. "Max" dean said with a slight grin "I thought ya retired" Dean said with a laugh as Sam coughed noticing the approaching woman "bodyguard twelve o' clock" Sam said warning Dean. Max turned around to see who Sam was talking about. "Nah she's' harmless, unless ya piss her off" Max said with a grin. "So she isn't her sister?" Dean asked "nah those girls ain' related, that is Alexander Mills daughter, just don't tell her your John's boys him and Alex didn't quiet get a long well" Max said covering up the truth about John and his brother Alex's relationship.
When Cara looked over at max she noticed the two Baboons from yesterday pretending to be federal agents, she knew they had to be hunters but she didn't know who, they didn't look like any hunters she knew to damn young. She walked over and noticed that their conversation died out so they had been talking about her and something that they all didn't want her to know. "Cara" Max began "this is Dean and Sam, now I know that you might get angry but I think it might benefit us all if you three work together" Max said looking at Cara. "Fine but we try my alternative to getting answers" she said taking control away from Max. Max just threw up his hand in defeat "go ahead" he said handing her a leather bound book.
She pulled out the chair across from Rachel and unbuttoned her coat "Rachel do you remember me I'm just here to talk to you if that is alright" Cara said in a calm soothing voice. Rachel just looked up at her and nodded slightly. Cara put her coat on the back of the chair followed by her scarf. She pulled the necklace that she swiped from Rachel's case file on the table. She put down her father's journal and sat down.
Dean had been watching her the whole time. Damn she was attractive but bossy. Dean though for a second weighing the options, watching her handle Rachel pushing his unbuisness like thoughts to the back of his head. Girls like that always had someone waiting for them in some fancy house with a dog, or they preferred to be alone.
Cara opened the book and flipped through the pages looking for the yellowed page with only two words written down. Finding the page she looked up at Rachel "Patefacio mons" Cara said in a clear steady voice.
Sam had been looking around until she opened the leather bound book she had with her. He watched over her shoulder as she swiftly flipped through it, so dad wasn't the only hunter who kept a journal. He looked on with awe as she spoke the latin incantation perfectly. He knew that patefacio mons meant open the mind, so she was using magic to get to the girl's thoughts.
Cara listened for a second to the silence in her head hoping that the damage to Rachel's psyche wasn't too great or that she was willing to this kind of communication since she was unable to speak from the shock. "Rachel, can you tell me in detail what happened when you visited Waverly Hills Sanatorium?" Cara asked keeping her voice calm and soothing.
Anna wanted to visit and check to see if the rumors about the place being haunted were true. I tried to tell her we should leave but she just laughed at me and now she is stuck there with that girl and that man. At least the little girl won't be so lonely, that poor girl she died and didn't even know it, but I did I could tell she had Teberculosis, she had one of these necklaces on Rachel thought grabbing the necklace lying on the table the nurse that this belonged to had it too. Did you know they called TB the 'white death' strange huh Rachel continued to think.
"What happened to Anna?" Cara asked
Anna was lying in the tub I didn't have to check to see if she was dead I already knew, I knew there was so much blood too much blood. The little girl was waiting behind me at first I thought it was her who killed Anna, but it wasn't she was just a little girl who was sad and lonely she missed her mommy did you know that Cara, do you miss your mommy?
Rachel's thoughts were beginning to pick up Cara's this want good Cara needed to get her answers quick.
Who are they? Rachel thought
"Don't worry about them Rachel, how did you know it wasn't the little girl that killed Anna?" Cara asked
The tall one reminds me of that man, he was so mean, there is something about him that seems evil, is he evil Cara? Rachel wondered.
"No I don't think he is evil Rachel, who was the man?" Cara asked
I think he is deep down inside he can't help it though poor man Rachel thought.
"Rachel who is the man?" Cara exclaimed
He is the doctor that treated them, he was so evil Cara it was so scary I didn't think I was going to survive but the little girl helped me Cara. I promised I would help her find her mommy Cara we have to, I have to Rachel demanded internally.
Cara watched Rachel stand and push her chair back with force and open her mouth as if she was going to speak but no sound came out. Cara was about to say something when Rachel's eyes welled up with tears. Rachel ran away from the table to her room. Cara and Dean quickly followed catching up as Rachel slammed the door shut and locked it. Cara tried to reach out with the connection but it was broken.
