Dean stands and paces as he looks at Roman. Roman shakes his head and looks at Dean, "I don't get it."

Dean runs a hand through his hair and then whispers, "Ro.. After Seth left us.. in the ring. We didn't keep track or even care what happened to Seth. All we wanted was that one of us beating on him because of what he did. What if.. what if there is something more to this."

Roman shakes his head, "he died from a car accident."

Dean looks at Roman, "Ro... what if there is something more."

Roman looks at Dean and frowns at him, "You want this to be real and not someone's sick idea of a joke."

Dean looks at Roman and whispers, "yes."

Roman whispers softly, "Dean.. he's dead."

Dean whispers, "I know that.. but I don't want to believe it. Something isn't right. Don't you want to know what Seth's last year was like?"

Roman leans back and closes his eyes. He then speaks softly, "If i agree to this, will it help you come to terms with his death?"

Dean nods, "Yes."

Roman stands and looks at him, "Fine but where do we start?"

Dean chews on his lip, "Cody was his best friend."

Roman shrugs, "good a place to start as any."

They contact Cody and Cody agrees to meet them at a coffee shop down town. Cody was off due to Cody sits in the shop sipping his coffee when they arrive. He ordered them both something and waves at them. When they sit across from him, he smiles sadly at them. Cody had been Seth's friend since Seth entered into the business. Dean had often joked that Seth and Cody should date. Cody though loved Eden more than anything.

Cody looks at them, "I miss him." is the first thing to slip out of his mouth.

Cody was never close to either of them. So he was little shocked that they called him but agreed to meet. He winces though when that slips out of his mouth and looks at both brothers.

Dean whispers, "We do too," He smiles warily at Cody trying to show him that it's ok.

Roman clears his throat, "Cody we got a strange letter after Seth's funeral. We wanted to ask you some questions. after Seth left the shield what happened."

Cody sits back in his chair and looks at them, "what do you mean?"

Dean leans forward and shows Cody the letter. Cody takes it and reads the line and then looks at Roman and Dean.

"Seth stopped talking to me once he as a part of the Authority. Just suddenly he was too busy to talk or come around," Cody shrugs.

Dean frowns, "you where best friends."

Cody nods and whispers, "I know and I tried to text him and call but he never replied. He never really was the same after ..."

Cody bites his lip and looks down at his cup.

Roman frowns, "After what.."

Cody runs a hand through his hair, "He promised me not to tell you.."

Roman frowns, "tell us.."

Cody shakes his head and then closes his eyes whispering, "after he was raped."

Roman's eyes go hard and he speaks lowly, "start from the beginning."

Cody is woken by a call on his cellphone. Dustin growls and throws a pillow at cody, "Answer your damn phone."

Cody groans and rolls over, picking up the phone, "Hello..do you know.."

Cody freezes when he hears Seth's sobs, "Cody.. help me."

Cody sits up fast and throws the blankets back, "Where are you?"

Dustin sits up when Cody throws the pillow back at him and motions him to get up. Cody has a feeling he will need Dustin with him so he explains quickly. When they enter the hotel room that Seth said he was at, Cody melted. Dustin, who normally was calm, vowed to kill someone. Seth was curled up in a corner, blood on his thighs and he was sobbing. The bed had blood on it and couple of rags that where what was left of Seth's clothing. There also was ripped sheets that were used to restrain Seth. There was though no one in room though other then Seth. Not suitcases or the room had no id attached to it. The person used cash to rent it.

Dustin was the one that wrapped him in a blanket and carried him back to their hotel room. Seth kept saying he didn't know who did it. Cody though calmed him and helped him clean himself up.

Roman grips the table and growls, "Why didn't you tell us."

Cody sighs, "Seth made me promise not to tell you. I always thought that you knew about it. I mean he acted so scared and different after it. He never went anywhere alone. Hell when I busy, He asked Dustin to walk with him to someplace he need to go. Dustin and him where never friends but Dustin did it. I thought for sure you would know something was wrong."

Dean whispers, "how.. how did we not know."

Cody shakes his head and then waves his hand, "Seth never told me who did it. He just said that some guys got him drunk and then he woke up blind folded and someone was inside him. It was a couple guys. After that it got around the locker room that he was easy so he was constantly harassed by the guys. "

Roman shakes his head and whispers, "why .. why didn't he tell us."

Cody looks at him, "He was scared that you guys would look at him different. Seth never had been with anyone until that night."

Dean slams his fist onto the table and then lets out a pained whimper.

Cody whispers, "that's all I know.. If you want more.. I'd suggest that you ask Kane. Kane was his only friend from my knowledge in the authority."

Roman nods and then looks at Cody, "Cody.. thank you for protecting him and getting him that night."

Cody nods and then looks at the letter again, "I guess the letter is right. Things aren't what they seem."
