Madison had only been at work for about an hour when the man approached her desk. He was African-American in his mid thirties with a goatee. He was wearing a dark business suit with a gray tie. He stopped and stood in front of her desk.
"Can I help you," asked Madison.
"Yes. I'm Jeff Drake and I have a ten o'clock appointment with Ms. Morgan," said Jeff.
"Oh yes, Mr. Drake, I'll let her know you're here," said Madison
Madison buzzed her boss and let her know that her ten o'clock was here. Lisa Morgan stepped out of her office and introduced herself to Jeff
"Madison, would you please take Mr. Drake to the break room to get coffee?" said Lisa before she walked back into her office.
"Mr. Drake if you'll follow me," said Madison.
"Please call me Jeff," said Jeff with a smile.
"Ok," replied Madison. She couldn't help but notice he didn't tell Lisa to call him Jeff.
"So Madison is it or do you go by Maddy?" inquired Jeff.
"Madison," she answered.
"Not Maddy?" he asked.
"Only my husband calls me Maddy," she replied.
"You're married? How long if you don't mind me asking?" said Jeff.
"Almost a year and a half. Here's the break room. Coffee's over there. Creamer's in the fridge if you need it," said Madison.
Madison was beginning to feel uncomfortable with all the personal questions Jeff was asking her.
"So do you think you can find your way back to Lisa's office?" asked Madison.
"Well this is a big office, if you wouldn't mind waiting. It won't take long. I like my coffee black," said Jeff smiling at her.
Madison waited and walked Jeff back to her boss's office. The more time she spent with Jeff the more uncomfortable she felt. He kept staring at her. It was as if he was trying to look right inside her. She wasn't sure why she felt this way, but some about Jeff unnerved her. He kept standing too close to her. Every time she moved away he moved closer. She finally gave up and decided to just walk faster.
After a short meeting with Lisa, Jeff exited her office. He stopped in front of Madison's desk.
"Madison it was very nice to meet you. I hope we will get to see each other again," said Jeff with a smile. He then turned and walked away.
"I hope not," muttered Madison under her breath.
Coming out of her office, Lisa handed some papers to Madison and asked her to mail them.
"So are you going to take his case?" asked Madison hoping Lisa's answer would be no.
"I don't know if he has a case. He was very vague about everything. All he would say is that somebody wronged him in the past and he wants to make them pay. It seemed a little strange and I get the feeling that I won't be hearing from him again. That was just a waste of my time," said a slightly exasperated Lisa.
Madison hoped her boss's words were true. There was something creepy about Jeff Drake and if she never saw him again, it would fine with her.
oooooOOOOooooo
Gordon Walker smiled to himself as he exited the office building. Madison was a lovely woman. She just had the unfortunate luck to be married to that bastard Sam Winchester. He had no intention of hiring her boss Lisa. He had a score to settle, but he wasn't going to do that in a courtroom. When he was ready to strike, Sam wouldn't know what hit him thought Gordon.
I wonder if Sam told her about me he thought. In fact Gordon began to wonder how much Madison knew about her husband's past. A woman that lovely, he probably wouldn't want her involved with anything supernatural. Gordon had no clue that Madison was a werewolf.
oooooOOOOooooo
Madison and Sam were at home having dinner. She didn't bother mentioning meeting Jeff Drake earlier because she was trying to forgot her encounter with him all together. She only could hope that Lisa was correct in her assumption that he wouldn't be back.
"Dean found an apartment today," said Sam.
"He did. That's great. Where's it located?" asked Madison.
"About 20 minutes from here. It's close to his office," said Sam feeling glad that Dean would be living close by.
"Well, we will have to get him a nice housewarming gift. What do you think he needs or wants?," asked Madison.
"A coffeemaker, definitely a coffeemaker," said Sam knowing that Dean needed his coffee in the morning.
"I'll go to the home store tomorrow on my lunch break and pick one up," said Madison.
Sam was glad that Dean was now living close by. After so many years of hunting, Dean was finally taking a break. One Sam felt that he deserved. Once again, Sam felt the need to pinch himself because everything was going to great for him and those he loved.
oooooOOOOooooo
After deciding to take a break from hunting for awhile, Dean set up shop as a private investigator. It felt a little weird to be actually earning legitimate money for a change, but he knew he would quickly get used to it. One thing that changed for him was he no longer was a wanted man. When the police in St Louis dug up the body of the shapeshifter the DNA matched Dean's exactly. The police concluded that Dean must have had a twin brother that he didn't know about, so they dropped all charges against him. They also blamed the credit card fraud on the shapeshifter.
As for Special Agent Henrickson, it turned out he planted evidence in several of his cases so he was fired from the FBI in disgrace. Due to the fact that there were several glowing references from law enforcement officials Dean had helped, all charges the FBI had against Dean were dropped. The FBI figured that Henrickson probably falsified evidence against Dean so they dropped the charges against him in the hopes that Dean wouldn't sue. For the first time in a long time, Dean was free and clear to do anything he wanted to.
oooooOOOOooooo
It had been a very busy morning at work for Madison and she was relieved when her lunch break arrived. It was nice to be outside in the fresh air she thought as she walked to the home store. She was excited to buy a gift for Dean. He had become like a brother to her and she wanted to be able to do something nice for him. She was so lost in her thoughts that she never noticed that she was being followed.
Gordon had been hanging out near Madison's work hoping to accidentally bump into her. When he saw her emerge at lunchtime he decided to follow her. Afraid it would look suspicious if he ran into her right in front of her job, he decided to follow her and wait for the right time to accidently bump into her.
Madison was standing in front of a large selection of coffeemakers wondering which one to choose when she heard a voice behind her, which made her practically jump.
"I recommend the Mr. Coffee," said Gordon as he leaned in close to Madison.
"Oh my god Mr. Drake, you startled me," said Madison as turned around.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to and please call me Jeff. How are you?" said Gordon as he moved even closer to her.
"I'm fine," replied Madison as she tried to back away from Gordon. Unfortunately, the display was blocking her.
Madison was beginning to feel really uncomfortable and wanted to get out of there as fast as she could. She glanced at her watch.
"Would you look at the time? I had better get back to work before I'm late," said Madison as she squeezed past Gordon.
"But what your coffeemaker?" asked Gordon sweetly.
"Oh, I just need filters," said Madison quickly grabbing a box.
"Well it was nice running into you. I hope we do it again soon," said Gordon as he watched her leave.
Madison paid for the filters and fled back to work as fast as she could. She got this feeling in the pit of her stomach that it was no accident that she ran into Gordon and that unnerved her more than she cared to admit.
oooooOOOOooooo
Sam spotted the back on the table form the home store. It looked a little small to hold a coffeemaker he thought. Curious, he opened it. He was perplexed to find only a box of filters in it.
"Hon, I think you forgot something. Dean can't use the filters if he doesn't have a coffeemaker to put them in," said Sam with a chuckle.
Madison had been debating all afternoon whether or not to tell Sam about Jeff. Everything was going so good for Sam lately that she didn't want to spoil it.
"They didn't have a good selection. I'm going to go to another store this weekend," said Madison making a decision not to tell Sam after all. I'm probably just being paranoid she thought.
