Chapter 50

I spent 2 months at Bobby's. I hit a dead end on the research front, but did get my Jeep rebuilt. Sometimes Racheal would go out on hunts with Caleb and Sometimes she'd go with her dad and leave me alone. It was one of those times when I was alone at the salvage yard that I got an email from Becky.

She said that Zach had been charged with killing his girlfriend, Emily. She swore it wasn't possible for him to do that cause he was at their parents house with her till after midnight. Course she said it wasn't possible for him to do period cause he loved Emily and Zach wasn't capable of killing anyone. The email also said that the cops had video footage of Zach coming home at ten and Emily was killed at 10:30.

It didn't really sound like my kind of job, but I wrote a note for Racheal and Bobby and headed for St. Louis anyway. Zach and Becky were still my friends and I wanted to help them any way I could. I should have known that she send the same kind of email to Sam. I didn't think my brothers would end up there at all, specially after what had happened to Dean the last time we were in St. Louis.

I got to Becky's house just in time to watch her getting into the Impala with Sam and Dean. I almost turned around, but Dean had seen me and recognized the Jeep. He motioned for me to follow them, so I did. I figured he'd tell Sam and Becky I was there, but he didn't.

I followed them to the house Zach had shared with Emily. I watched them go in and then followed a minute later. I was standing in the doorway when Dean said:

"Well, what do you see miss double degree in crime scene forensics?"

Becky asked if he was talking to her and nearly jumped out of her skin when I answered from behind her that he was talking to me and I hadn't finished my second forensics degree yet. Sam just looked at me kinda funny and Becky told me not do scare her like that again. I shrugged and starting looking around. Dean smiled and then repeated the question.

I told him it was pretty hard to tell since the cops had already been through and screwed everything up. He laughed and then walked over to Becky, who was standing back in the doorway and looking at the dog. While Dean was talking to Becky I walked over to Sam and asked how he was doing. He just gave me another strange look and I think he was about to say something when Dean walked up and started talking bout the dog.

The boys had a nice little discussion about the possibility of the dog seeing whatever had killed Zach's girlfriend. Sam asked if Dean thought it was our kind of problem. Dean and I answered at the same time and then smiled at the look on Sam's face. Dean said we should probably look at the security footage to make sure just as Becky walked over to us.

Dean turned to Becky and asked if the lawyers could get a copy of the tape and she said she already had it. She told us that she stole it off the lawyer's desk and didn't want to say anything in front of the cop. I could tell by his reaction that she was talking about Dean and managed to hold back my laugh. We left right after that and went back to Becky's place.

While we were watching the tapes, I noticed Becky giving me a dirty look once in awhile when she thought I wasn't looking. I knew what she was thinking. She thought I was trying to move in on Sam by being all buddy, buddy with Dean. I was about to say something to her when Sam asked if she would get us a couple beers and some sandwiches. I told her I'd help her out and followed her into her kitchen.

She pulled her claws out as soon as we got there. She said I was really being a great friend now that Jessica was dead. I knew she was being sarcastic and that she was gonna start biting my head off. She started to go off on me, but stopped dead when I said that Sam and Dean were my brothers. She asked me to repeat myself, so I did. She stood there in silence for a minute and then said she didn't believe me. I told her she could go out and ask them if she wanted.

She asked me why Sam and I had never told anyone that before and I told her it was because Sam didn't know that I was his sister until the morning Jess had died. She started to look like she didn't believe me again, so I told her that our family got split up after our mom died cause dad couldn't take care of his girls. She told me she was sorry for thinking what she did and I told her it wasn't a big deal. I said I probably would have thought the same thing if our positions were reversed. We went back out to her living room with beer and sandwiches and just hung out for the rest of the night.

The 3 of us ended up crashing at Becky's that night. Dean had filled me in on what they had found after Sam and Becky had gone to sleep. They figured it may have been some kind of dark double that had killed Emily. I said it sounded like fun.

Dean asked me why Becky and I had taken so long in the kitchen, so I filled him in. He got quite a good laugh out of it. When he finally stopped laughing, he asked me if I'd heard from dad at all and I told him no. He asked me what I did while I was recuperating and I told him I did a little research and then fixed my Jeep. We stayed up talking for about 30 minutes total and then went to bed our selves.
