"Hey, have you ever heard about a man named John Winchester?"

Bella stopped. She turned around slowly. "How do you know about him?" she asked.

"Uh, well I thought the last name might give it away," Dean said.

"I mean, how'd you know to ask about him?"

Bella had a look on her face. It was some half flipped-out, totally freaked look, and Dean didn't like it. "Well, I've been asking everyone," he told her.

"Apparently not, since you're still in one piece."

"Sorry?"

"There are some souls down here that don't want to here the name of John Winchester."

"Why?"

"We aren't supposed to talk about it."

"So?"

"Obviously you don't get my point."

"I can't bloody tell you!"

"Yes, you can!"

"Dean! You do not understand!" Bella said it through gritted teeth, drawing the words out.

"No, no you're right. I don't understand because no one will freaking tell my anything!"

"Well then how about I tell you!"

"Good."

Bella took a deep breath. "Okay. Fine. Um..."

"Are you going to tell me or aren't you?"

"No. No, I'm going to tell you." Bella clapped her hands together gently as if she were nervous. "John Winchester. He uh, he was...is a... He's a very powerful soul down here," she blurted out quickly.

"What?"

"I don't know. I guess when you sell your soul for your son or something, you get a medal."

"Well I sold my soul for my brother and I'm not different."

"I don't know how it works. Anyway, he tried to get out. Guess even he couldn't stand it down here. It almost worked. He almost did get out. Long story short: huge fight, your dad goes into solitary confinement, and every single soul down here is forbidden to talk about him."

"Solitary? What is that?"

"You know that kind of cell you were in when you first got here? That's what it is except it's closed in from all four sides. There's no way out except up, and your father doesn't fly so there's no way out. Can he?" Bella asked.

"No." Dean made a face.

"Anyway, so no one talks about him. And that is why I shouldn't be talking about him."

"That's it? Nothing shocking or incredible?"

"So it's not shocking that your father found a way out of here? And that he almost succeeded?"

"Not really."

"Dean, he found a way out. The only reason he was stopped was that he waited too long."

Dean nodded. "How did he find it?'

Bella raised her eyes. "There's a woman...soul...down here. She knows everything there is to know. She's been out a few times."

"What's her name?"

"Miriam Webster."

Okay, so tell me what you think.
