CHAPTER 7
The Teagues brothers left the Police station a few minutes after the Winchesters. They stayed behind in order to explain the blood and obviously wrecked state of Audrey's office. After some made up story about the Troubles and Audrey's attempt to help a person afflicted they left. On the way to The Herald they noticed the tension on Main Street; it was obviously caused by Audrey's feelings, so the brothers took a hint and left her alone. The noticed the Impala was stopped off to the side of where Audrey was sitting, no doubt the Winchester boys were watching the newly discovered angel. The Teagues brothers were mildly interested in the man who sat next to her and talked, but decided they would get the details later, and there was no need to interfere, not with the hunters there and after Audrey left with Duke, Dave and Vince both exhaled a breath they didn't even know they were holding.
They didn't know what to expect, but an angry Audrey usually led to some snarky comments and well placed punches and kicks, however they had no idea what an angry Ariel would lead to, and they had no desire to find out. Their plan was simple, go through The Herald's archives and look for people involved in suspected paranormal activity, and then take that list to Audrey so she'd have something to do. Perhaps if she could help protect people she'd eventually be able to accept the fact she was an angel and maybe get her memories back.
It was the memory issue that caused Dave the most grief, while Vince was more concerned about keeping Audrey safe, Dave was more interested in why her memories were missing in the first place. There were so many questions that surrounded Audrey, or rather Ariel, and the brothers had no idea who to ask for answers.
When they reached The Herald, Dave went to look at the computer archives while Vince went to the paper ones. Information pertaining to the Troubles before 2010 was stored on paper, however, any information on the Troubles since after Audrey's arrival was readily available on The Herald's web page.
"I remember the Troubles being easier to deal with last time." Vince complained as he scanned some old hand written notes, "I mean I don't remember having to do things like this with Lucy."
"That's because those with an affliction weren't as secretive," Dave answered, "this time people had to watch out for the Rev, and now that Audrey's kill him, they have to watch out for retaliation."
"But she can help them."
"And they know it, but the fact still remains it's dangerous to be a Troubled person in Haven, plus when she was Lucy, we had John to help us."
"John Winchester was almost as clueless as his boys." Vince said sounding angry.
"What are you talking about? The boys aren't clueless, they found out what she was. They even have an angel on their side."
"They're clueless for trusting us. I remember back when hunters were suspicious of each other. They didn't even ask how we knew about Audrey."
"And what would you have told them?" Dave asked shifting his attention from the computer to his brother, "would you have told them that we haven't hunted anything since the sixties? Would you have told them that we've been trying to help Audrey since before they were born? Would you tell them that their father was close to figuring out everything, but he left under mysterious circumstances?" Would you have-"
"Alright, I get it." Vince said interrupting his brother, "I get it, at the time it wouldn't have been wise to talk about how we know Audrey, or to even mention that we knew their father."
"Or that we're hunters for that matter." Dave said, going back to the computer, "they probably think we're just small town reporters who know about the supernatural because we live in Haven."
"At least their angel- Castiel, trusts us."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means that Castiel is the real reason they didn't ask us questions." Vince said, "When an angel tells you to do something, you do it."
"We don't do what Audrey asks." Dave pointed out.
"That's because she doesn't know how powerful she really is. We help her as much as we can, without revealing too much."
"Why don't we just tell her the truth, it might help her figure out how to stop the Troubles." Dave suggested.
"Because, we don't know why her memory is erased, or where she goes during the missing twenty seven years, or why she appears when the troubles do, or why she disappears when they do…there are just too many questions. Now that we know who she really is we definitely need to ease her into this."
"Well your plan just got shot to hell." When Vince gave him a blank look, Dave continued, "today she just figured out she's an angel, I'm sure she's going to have a lot of questions."
"And she always comes to us for answers." Vince said slowly.
"Where are we going to go to get them?" Dave asked rhetorically as he typed away on the computer. "I got someone." He said a few moments later.
"Who?" Vince asked as he came to stand behind his brother.
"Jeffery Davis."
"What does he do?"
"Apparantly he can make a person live their worst fear, just by touching them." Dave said as he read the information about the Troubled man.
"Like that Jackie girl a few weeks back? Remember she could make people see their worst fears when they looked at her."
"No, this guy's different," Dave said as he continued to read, "he can make a person live their fear for hours, kind of like a nightmare, and he can only affect one person at a time."
"Well, now what?" Vince asked.
"I'll go give this to Audrey," Dave said as the information printed out, "and you stay here and see what else you can find."
"Alright, see you in a few hours." Vince suggested.
"Sure." Dave said as he left the office.
