CHAP 5

I climbed out of the Camaro at Kyle's house. The tires were full and the rims were fine. Matt ran out of the house and wrapped his arms around me. Growling I pushed him away.

"I'm fine, you big lump. Now, get off. You're squishing my nose and it hurts."

That got him off me. He jumped back, his fingers gently lifting my chin so our eyes met. His dark blue eyes slowly ran over my face, taking everything in.

"They did this to you?" he asked slowly and carefully.

"Well Sam hardly touched me and didn't hurt my face." I laughed.

"Dean did this?"

"Matt, I said it before; I don't need you defending me."

"Baby girl, I'm your big brother, it's my job to."

"Not this time, Matt. Not this time. I don't want you involved," I murmured, trying to forget the vision I had.

"Hey! Are you two coming inside?" Kyle called as my brother looked at me curiously, "We've just made hot drinks."

"Yeah, we're coming," I called back before smiling softly at Matt, "I'll be fine, but do you want to straighten my nose?"

________________________________________________________________________

"Did you find anything?" Arie asked, after we sat in the lounge with hot drinks.

"Plenty. Just not sure if any of it is going to help. There is one thing though. Keiran's never been to Missouri has he?"

Arie shook her head, "Not that I know of."

"Good. That's good."

"Why?" Kyle asked.

"Not long ago there were several killings in Missouri. They were just like this. Same MO same everything pretty much. Everything except the suspects."

"They didn't find the killer?" Arie sounded almost horrified.

"They found a guy shot at the last scene and figured he was the killer, especially since he later turned up very much alive."

"And they didn't arrest him when he turned up alive?"

"Oh they did, except he got away. We've been trying to track him since. It's only been in the last couple of days we've had someone on him. He wasn't the killer for this one and I doubt it for the Missouri one."

"So what do we do now?" Kyle asked.

"I find him again and get him to tell me what he knows about the Missouri killings. Anything it takes. Keiran isn't going down for this."

They nodded and we finished our drinks in silence. I stood up to leave, "I'll be back when I've got something."

Matt followed me out to the Camaro. I didn't acknowledge him until we were outside, not wanting Kyle or Arie to hear us arguing.

"Ally…"

"I don't want you involved with this, Matt. This is something I've got to handle alone."

"You don't know anything about these guys. Ally; just listen to me, please. They're dangerous."

"Matt, I know enough. Please, just let me handle it. I'll be fine. Stop being such a big brother."

"Now, I can't help that, it's what I'm made to do."

I gave him a light shove on the chest and climbed into the Camaro, "I'll be fine, big bro. See you soon."

"Bye, baby girl," he murmured as I started the engine and drove away.

Driving slowly towards a motel I set up the laptop on the dash, having a look at where the Impala was. Only five minutes drive away. I speed up, wanting to get there as fast as I could. I pulled up outside the motel and peered through the open curtains. Dean was the only one in sight. Taking a deep breath I cut the engine, closed down the laptop and hesitantly walked up to the door. I knocked on the door, praying when he answered he didn't slam it in my face.

The door opened and he looked slightly surprised before leaning on the doorframe, "You got out faster than I thought."

"You didn't tape my mouth. Dean, I'm not here to argue or talk about last night-"

"About how you broke in, knocked out Sammy and what? Tried to arrest us? Or just get evidence for an arrest?"

"Dean…"

"Go away, Ally," he said, beginning to shut the door.

I stuck my foot in it and shoved it open again, "Look! I'm not here for me or for you. I'm here for Keiran. He's innocent, just like Sam's friend in Missouri. Someone is killing people here and framing their partner or husband or whatever. You and Sam seem to be the only ones that actually know what happened in Missouri. Now, please, I just want to know what happened."

"Then why don't you ask that big brother of yours? He does the exact same thing as Sam and I. He'll know what happened in Missouri," he sneered slamming the door in my face.

I stepped back, shocked. Matt did the same thing as them? I didn't even know what they did or what Matt did. Numbly I walked back to the Camaro and began driving to the station again; it was time to see Keiran. On the way I grabbed my cell phone and again, realizing I didn't have Matt's number I called Kyle again.

"Matt speaking."

"Good. Just the person I wanted to talk to."

"Ally, you finished with the Winchester's already?"

"I got something out of Dean. Sam wasn't there."

"Good on ya, baby girl. What'd you find out?"

"What the hell did Dean mean, you do the exact same thing as them?!" I practically shouted into the phone.

He swore softly before replying, "Ally, baby girl. I'll call you back okay?"

"Don't you dare hang up on me!" I yelled as he did exactly that, "Bastard."

I parked outside the station again and almost ran inside. Flipping my badge I asked to see Keiran. The officer in charge led my straight down to the cell.

Keiran jumped to his feet, "Ally."

"Hey Keiran," I said before turning to the officer, "Some privacy please."

After the officer left Keiran immediately started talking again, "Al. I didn't do this. You know I wouldn't."

"I know, Keiran, I know. That's why I'm here. I'm trying to figure it out."

"How long?"

"I'm not sure, but I'm not going to let you go down for this, I promise."

He gave a hollow laugh, "Don't do anything stupid, Al."

I smiled sadly, "You know me, Keiran."

"Yeah, that's the problem, I do. You'll do anything within your abilities and everything out of your abilities too."

"Well maybe I've got reason to. I know you didn't do this. Kei, this will be hard, I know, but I need you to tell me about that night."

He sat down slowly, sighing, "Kyle and Arie invited us to a movie. Sal wanted to stay home with Liz, in case she woke up. She told me to go ahead and go with Kyle and Arie so I did. I shouldn't have left her, Ally, I should've stayed with her," he cried, tears threatening his eyes.

"You couldn't of known, Keiran; it's not your fault."

He shook his head and continued, "We, we went to the movie, must've been about ten thirty, eleven when it started. I left home about ten. The movie finished at, I don't know, sometime between one and two I guess. I went back to theirs for a drink and got home about three. The door was locked and it was all normal, until, until I got to the lounge," he took a deep breath and wiped his sleeve over his eyes, "she, Sal, was th-there. There was so, so much blood. I didn't know what to do."

"I'm sorry, Keiran."

He shook his head, his gaze dropping to the ground.

"Hey, hey, Kei. It's going to be alright, I swear, it'll be alright. I'm going to find out what happened"

He looked up, squarely meeting my eyes, "I know you will, Al, but you're not god. You can't work miracles."

I laughed, "You'd be surprised what I can do when I actually put my mind to it."

"Thanks, Ally. You better go put your mind to it then, stop messing about talking to me."

"Talking to you can never be messing about, Keiran. I'll see you later."

"Yeah, see ya."

________________________________________________________________________

Matt hung up on his sister, trying to think of any way possible to avoid telling her the truth. Hardly any plausible excuses came to mind so instead he pulled out his cell phone and called the cause of the problem.

"Hello?"

"Dean Winchester. You really are a bastard with no thought about others except for yourself and Sam."

"Who are you?"

"Why the hell did you tell my little sister that I did the exact same thing as you?!!"

"Matt-"

"You had no right, Dean! No right to do that!"

"Dude, you're over reacting."

"Really? How would you react if our positions were reversed? If I told that to Sam?"

There was silence on the other end.

"That's exactly my point. You would've kept it from your little brother if you could've and so far my sister doesn't know about it. What the hell do you propose I tell her now?!"

"It's not my fault she went all nuts and started poking around in our world; maybe you should try and control her a bit more."

"Don't you talk about my sister that way, you jerk! Oh and if you ever lay one finger on my little sister again, I swear I'll kill you." Matt growled before snapping the phone shut.

Throwing the cell on the couch beside him he growled softly, trying to figure out what to do. He was almost certain it was a shape shifter that killed Sally and another that was responsible for the deaths in Missouri. Dean and Sam had already taken care of the Missouri one from what Ally said, a silver bullet to the heart; the one thing that would kill all of those creatures that changed shape.

________________________________________________________________________

I decided to try talking to Dean again; if that didn't work I might decide to try Sam. Pulling out my phone I scrolled until I found his name. Almost hesitantly I pressed talk and held the phone to my ear. It rang for ages before someone picked up.

"Hello?"

"Dean?"

"Yeah. This Ally?"

I nodded before remembering I was on the phone, "Please don't hang up," I answered, my voice quiet.

He sighed, "What?"

"Look, I, I'm sorry about what I did. I thought I was doing right. I broke in because I wanted to clean up your case, find something that puts you away or keeps you out. Right now, I don't really care about doing my job by finding out stuff about you even though I'll probably end up doing that by investigating these murders."

"What's your point, Ally?"

"I want to know what actually did happen in Missouri; the truth not the paper, official version. The same thing is happening here and I intend to put a stop to it. Keiran's not going to go down for this."

"It all comes down to Missouri and Keiran doesn't it?"

"Dean, please, I just want to know the truth."

"I'm sorry, Ally. You know, I might actually tell you if I could, but your brother won't let me. You'll have to ask him for what you want to know."

"You talked to my brother?" I hid the shock from my voice as the images from my vision came flooding back.

"More he talked to me."

"You leave my brother alone, Dean. You hear me. You leave him alone."

"Geez, Ally, why do you keep thinking I'm going to hurt your brother?"

"No reason; just warning you." I covered slightly too quickly.

"What aren't you telling us?"

"Nothing. Dean, why won't my brother let you tell me what happened in Missouri? How does he know what happened in Missouri?"

"Ally-"

"No Dean. You're keeping something from me, something important and I want to know what."

"Your brother will try to kill me if I tell you."

"You're scared of my brother?" I asked, disbelieving.

"Nope. Just don't want to hurt him when he comes after me."

"Okay, if I keep him from coming after you will you tell me what the hell is going on?"

"You're not going to like it and probably won't believe me."

"Try me."

"Fine. I won't explain over the phone though. You know what motel we are at."

"Alright. I'll see you soon." I said before hanging up, wondering what I was getting myself in for.
