Ch.5
"Hey, Reid, were here." Morgan announced, pulling Reid away from his memories, away from the past.
The hospital as ordinary. There's not much else to say about it. It was your run of the mill city hospital.
Morgan and Reid had no trouble seeing Julian Mitchell, turns out he already was accepting guests and had one now.
The room was plain and was set up much like Sam's. There was painting directly across from the bed. It was colorful, Reid could tell where the paint was layed down thick and where it was sooth, it held a almost supernatural quality to it. Beside the bed was two pictures, one of what appeared to hold three very happy, maybe drunk, teens, one of which seemed to be years younger than the two other was in the center. It the other much older picture seemed to be a childhood portrait; a strong lady in formal wear where smiled softly into the camera, held a young boy protectively in her arms, the mother most likely.
Julian was asleep when the two FBI agents entered. He was in his mid to early 30's but appeared much older with greys already in his stubble. The man was tan, the sun, most likely, was constantly shinning it's rays on his skin, but he was pail as well, worn out. Julian was also built, but not excessively so.
The large hand of his engulfed a much paler and smaller one.
A large lunge chair hid the features of the other person, Julian's girlfriend probably.
"You should come back later, my dears," a nurse told the agents happily as she came in and changed the IV bag silently. Julian groaned, his eyes flickering open at her presence as she smile down at him. "Oh, your awake. Two lovely FBI agents are here to speak with you." she told him, helping him sit up slightly without disrupting the girl.
"Thanks, Karen." Julian said back in a rough voice. Running his fingers through his black hair with his free hand, spiking it.
"See you for dinner sport," she left.
"So what do the feds want with little ol' me?" he asked the second the nurse was gone.
"You were the last one to speak with Scarlett Sage before her attack. Do you mind telling us what you heard?" Morgan answered.
"Ah, that would explain a few things. Look fed, I already told the cops. I rather not have to…" he began aggressively but was stopped by small whisper from the girl. Morgan tried to listen in but gave up once he heard French but was surprised at the familiar voice was soft, kind and even soothing. "Fine." Julian told her, then turned back to the agents and in a forced friendly tone he greeted them, "I'm Julian Mitchell, who are you?"
The agents were surprised by this, but answered nonetheless. "I'm SSA Morgan, this here is Dr. Reid. We're from the BAU."
"Fancy seeing you here, Morgan." Nicki laughed, as she sat up and yawned.
"Nicki! What brings you here?" Reid asked already putting the dots together leaving no doubt in his mind, Julian was a hunter. It was also then that he noticed the huge stacks of book surrounding her.
"You know well what I'm here for. I just took a nap though. So you want to know about Scar? Alright, so be it, Julian, tell them." Nick answered saddly, almost in a defeated tone.
"Fine," Julian sighed as he began his tale.
It was a normal night. Nothing could of warned us of the events to come. Believe me, I have nothing else to do all day but think. She was upset. Yeah, Scar's last moments were not happy one's at all.
"What do you mean he's not with her? Who else would she be with? You know she doesn't last long on her own!" Scarlet shouted over the phone as she walked through the busy streets of DC.
"She's not! She just not with her usual crew." I tried to explain to her.
"Well, do you know which?"
"Yeah, but you won't be pleased." I explained to her.
"Just as long as they're not those apocalyptic brothers it should be fine. Just tell them we need her help and her's alone." she told me as she took a swing at a bottle of what I assumed was beer. You see she was returning to her motel room from the bar when she was jumped.
"Um… what if it is them?" I dared to ask. She was moody drunk but usually a happy one. This wasn't the case that night. She was already mad at me for reasons I don't feel like discussing at this time but now she was really pissed. I mean she's scary when mad.
"THOSE DUMB MOTHER…!" she began.
"Scarlett your in public! Just because she's not with us right now doesn't mean she approves of such language!"
"DAMN IT TO HELL! DON'T YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT? I'M THE ONE SHE ALWAYS LECTUREING! GOD SHE'S 7 YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME AND STILL ACTS LIKE MY MOTHER!"
"I know… it's easier that way. She's been like that way since forever Scar. We only hate it because we know she's right and good at it. It was always you who called her got give us a ride home behind our parents back because we were to wasted to do so. It's was always you who called her even when she was at school because you need her help or need someone to take care of you. That's not the point right now. Now that we know which crew she's with we can contact her."
"Alright work the system, but for the record you called her for help way more often than I did!" she was calmer now, but still fuming.
"So you back at the motel yet?" I asked laughing. You see we have a rule that if alone that late at night we stay on the phone so it would be like there was two of us.
"Almost." she answered with a grin in her voice and that was the last decent thing out of her mouth. Not much longer after that they attacked her. There was a lot of screaming and hissing. A few curses to God as well. But that was all I heard. They fought, they probably were surprised a drunk could put that much of a fight but she wasn't slurring yet so…
"That's it." Julian to the agents.
"Who were you two looking for?" Morgan asked as he wrote down his notes.
"I don't see how that's relevant." Julian answered coldly. He was in obvious distress but nobody thought it was wise to point out.
"Why did you two need her help?" He then asked.
"That's for me to know." he growled back.
"Thank you Mr. Mitchell, we'll come back if we have anymore questions." Reid said before Morgan got out another question.
"Alright but I'm gone as soon as the doc says I can. Don't know where I'll be after that myself." he answered honestly.
"See you for dinner Spence." Nicki said as the agents left. "Don't be late."
Smiling he answered, "I wont."
He was…
The Winchester brothers and Nicki were already seated and were impatiently fliping through the menu.
"I don't see why we can't go to a simple dinner and get burgers." Dean complained.
"If that's all you eat then you'll die young from a heart attack. And with so many lives to save and girls to seduce don't you think that would be quiet a tragic event?" Nicki answered with a wicked grin.
"Yeah well I don't see why we have to eat ramen. How do people manage to eat with two twigs?" he asked back
"It's simple." she answered
"If it was so simple I could do it." Reid commented. He took his seat with the three hungry hunters watching him. "What?"
"You're late, dude." Dean answered.
"Yeah, Spence. We even beat you here and Dean didn't even want to come." Sam added.
"And you still haven't decide on what to have yet?" Reid scoffed.
"Nope, we order drinks, got you a sprite, and Sam and I are all set. Deano here is just taking his sweet time." Nick smile
"Oh, well then I think I'll have…" Reid decided to show off his ability to read the menu in 3 seconds flat.
They all ordered by the time the waitress returned and got strait to business.
"It's vampires and demons working together." Dean told the group discreetly. So discreetly that the little girl asked her parents what they were talking about and got several looks.
"Nice going Dean," Nicki laughed.
"What do you got?" he challenged.
"You're right. Julian and Scar both thought that it was strange that the two were in the area together but the signs were clear. They just didn't know how they were interacting and why. They seem to be after something. Trying to draw something out. They didn't know what but the vampires are being too careless with their kills for it not to be purposeful. It's not like them."
"Scarlett's death seems to be the stressor for their actions. That or it was about that time." Reid added.
"So the question is why are they working together and what are they after." Sam confirmed.
"And how they can stand each other! They have different creators. Which means they are natural haters of each other. They are always at each other's neck." Nicki added, surprising the boys with her accent as she helped the two men with their chop sticks.
"So we know where they going to be next?" Dean asked.
"Oh silly Dean, that's why we have Spence's team profile them." Nicki answered as she watched Reid unnervingly.
"Well, till then…?" He asked not liking how this is turning out one bit.
"Till then we try to learn what we can." Sam answered sadly, "And hope for the best."
'This would be a very nice meal if it didn't involve such depressing news.' Nicki thought.
Sorry I ended the flash back with Sam in the hospital like that but I didn't like anything I wrote next. I was stumped.
Please forgive me!
Hope you like it so far.
What's your opinion of Nicki by the way.
I was just wondering…
All reviews are welcomed.
They make my day.
Love you all for keeping up with my strange writing habits.
Smile!
