Yes, Its Been A While.
Don't Think The Lack Of Posting Is Loss Of Interests.
I Have Been So Busy That I Only Sleep An Average Of Eight Hours A Week.
When I Have Classes And Work That Is.
Days Off Are For Sleeping.
Anyways.
Here's A Post.
And A New Character.
Jinx woke up to someone shaking her; she opened her eyes. It was dark and she had a feeling from the smell that she was in the sewer. "Jo, that better be you shaking me."
"It is."
"Great. Fucking brilliant." Jinx sighed and looked at her wrists.
"Are your wrist glowing?"
"No." Jinx said as she looked out of the small opening, she looked back at Jo. "So, Teresa down here?"
"Yep."
Jinx nodded. "You got that iron knife on you were playing with earlier?"
"What are you thinkin?"
"Nothing, just counting our pros."
"Pros? We're locked in a sewer, with a dead serial killer and-"
"Are you done?"
"What?"
"Dude, you really think Ace is going to let me die? Or Dean? Or Sam? Trust me, they are coming for me."
"You think they'll find us?"
"Oh, I know."
Jinx's tattoos started to hurt again and she sighed. "Jo?"
"Yeah?"
"Hand the knife over, now." Jo didn't argue or hesitate as she passed it to her. "Tereas, you okay doll?"
"What the fuck is going on?"
"Well, you wont believe me, but don't worry, we'll get out of this."
"Promise?"
"Yep." Not a moment later did a hand come through the slot and grab Jo, ripping a piece of her hair out.
"You fucking bastard." She screamed as Jinx looked at him.
"Hey you!" He looked at her. "Yeah, i'm talking to you. Why don't you try me buddy?"
Holmes smirked and reached his hand towards her. Jo watched as Jinx grabbed the ghost; she could now see that Jinx's tattoo really was glowing. She knew that wasn't normal. Jinx stabbed him through the hand, smirking when he screeched. "Thats iron you fucker. You touch me or Teresa or Jo and i'll fucking destroy you."
Homles disappeared a moment later. "How did you do that?"
"I stabbed him. If you don't know how to do that doll, then you're fucked."
"You grabbed him. How could you grab a ghost?"
"I'm awesome."
"You were glowing."
"Like i'm said, i'm fucking awesome. Now shut up while I think a bit longer."

Ace watched as Dean and Sam dug. "So, this goes right into the sewer system?"
"Yep, and it should take us right to where Jinx and Jo are. If we're lucky Teresa is too."
"I could care less about the last two. I just want my Jinx back."
Dean stood; he cupped her cheek gently. "We'll get her back priss, okay? I wont let anything happen to her?"
She didn't want to be mad at him anymore; he sounded to sincere and broken up about it. "You already did."
"I know."
Ace slapped his cheek lightly. "Get back to digging."
"Yes ma'am." he said as he rejoined Sam to uncover the man hole.
Dean looked at his brother as he dug; he had seen that look before, it was never a good sign. "I'm sorry Sam."
"Its okay Dean. Jinx is stubborn as hell. She's going to do what she wants to do."
"I know, but I said-"
"Dean?"
"Yeah?"
"Stop it. We're going to get her back."
Dean punched his shoulder. "I knew you wouldn't panic."
Sam nodded as he threw his shovel to the side and looked at the man hole. He was more then worried about Jinx, but he had to be the one who wasn't freaking out. Once they had the cover off, Ace was the first one down there. "Are you going or not?"
Dean smiled at Sam. "I think i'm in love Sammy."
Ace crawled though the sewer. She tried not to think about what disease could be lurking around in these pipes. She hummed a French lullaby her father had sung to her when she was younger. She shone her light and she could see the end of the tunnel. She heard Dean and Sam following her.
"What song is that?" Dean asked wanting her to talk to him.
"Au Clair de la Lune," Ace answered.
"Nice. You know the words?"
"Yeah, my dad sung it to me every night till..."
"Till what?"
"Till I turned thirteen and told him I wasn't a baby anymore. Then I was too old for lullabies'."
Dean sighed. He knew what that was like. He had sung Sam to bed every night. Until Sam turned five and said he was a big boy. Dean had really missed that; it had been the only time he had gotten away with singing the songs his mom had sung to him. After Sam had wanted him to stop, Dean realized the more he didn't sing them, the harder it was to remember Mary's voice.
He shook those thoughts away and focused on the task at hand.
"So, Jo, still wanna be a hunter?" Jinx had to ask.
"You think you are real smart huh?" Jo asked.
"Actually, I think I am a freakin genius."
"None of you guys get it. When I hunt, I feel close to my dad."
"This is your first hunt, and I don't think you should be hunting."
"But yet you let Ace hunt."
"Because Ace has no one else, Jo. She lost her father who was her only family. Hunting... It gives her a sense of purpose. And she is damn good at it."
"Not from what I've seen."
"Well, you haven't seen her at her best."
Jo fell silent. She then looked down at Jinx's wrists. They were glowing. Jinx swore. They both turned to the door just as Holmes hand snaked though and cover Jinx's mouth and nose. Jo yelled.
"Shh, everything will be alright," Holmes said.
"Hey, you old son of bitch," Ace yelled.
Holmes turned around and Ace shoot him with a salt round. Dean pushed open the gate and the three of them climbed into the room. Ace griped her gun tight.
"Jinxy?" she called.
"Here Acey. And boy am I glad to see you," Jinx said.
"Jo?" Dean asked.
"I'm here with Jinx."
Dean and Ace went over to the cell. Dean grabbed a pipe and pried it open. Sam found Teresa. Dean handed the pipe to Sam so he could get Teresa out of there. Dean lifted the door and Ace helped Jinx out.
"You okay?" Ace asked her.
"I have been better," Jinx said.
"Let's get the hell out of here before he comes back," Jo said.
"Alright, you go. I'll be bait," Jinx said.
"Jinx," Ace said glaring at her.
"It's the only plan we have. Right Dean?"
"It's gotta be Jinx or Jo as bait."
"I vote Jo," Ace said.
"I second that motion," Sam said holding Teresa in his arms.
"And since Jo and I are going to vote for ourselves we can't vote."
"Which means we win."
"Dean didn't vote."
"Doesn't matter. There's only one of him."
"He's the oldest, what he says goes."
Dean watched as four people looked up and stared at him. He swallowed the lump in his throat. He saw Sam and Ace glaring at him. He then looked at Jinx and Jo. He sighed.
"Jinx is bait. She is the more experienced hunter," he said.
"Son of a bitch," Ace said turning and climbing though the gate disappearing into the sewers.
"She'll forgive you, Dean," Jinx said.
"You hope."
Sam didn't say anything as he carried Teresa out. He didn't know what to say anymore.

Jinx sat in the middle of the room waiting. She wasn't scared at all. She was just bored. She yawned and looked at her tattoos on her wrists. She saw them start to glow. She smiled. She waited. She felt Holmes breath on her neck.
"Now!" Dean yelled.
Jinx scrambled to the gate. Sam and Dean shot the bag of salt. Salt fell and Holmes looked around. There around the room was a salt line that he could not cross. He yelled and Jinx laughed.
"That is right you son of a bitch. Your ass is stuck here for good," Jinx said smiling.
Ace paced above ground waiting for the others to get back up here. She was seriously going to murder Dean and Jinx once they were done with this hunt. She looked at her watch and sighed. She completely ignored Jo who was standing not three feet away from her.
"I'm sorry," Jo said suddenly.
"About?" Ace said still pacing.
"About what I said. I didn't mean it."
"Oh you meant it. But I don't care."
"But-."
"Jo, I stopped caring what people like you think of me a long time. All that matters is what I think of myself and what the people I care about think. And you, Barbie are not someone I care about."
Jo shut up. She watched as Sam climbed out of the sewer then Dean and finally Jinx. Jinx had a huge smile on her face. She looked at Ace and her smile faltered a little. Dean looked at Ace then looked away. He ran a hand over his face.
"I'll be back," he said running off.
"Can we do that again?" Jinx asked.
Sam and Ace crossed their arms across their chests and glared at Jinx. Jinx cursed. This was going to be fun.

Dean came back a few short minutes later, with a cement truck. "You ripped off a cement truck?" Jo asked as Jinx smiled at him.
"He'll give it back. After I get to drive it."
Sam came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her. "I don't think so. I'm not letting you out of my sight."
"Me either." Jinx smiled widely, trying to lighten the mood. "Does that mean I get a threesome with you guys? Cause Acey, I gotta tell you, Sam-"
Sam covered her mouth. "She's done talking now."
Jinx shook her head, mumbling against his hand. "We should really get back to the apartment-"
Ace just remembered. "Dude."
"What?" Dean asked as he shut off the flow of cement.
"Ellen."
"What about my mom?" Jo asked as Sam's hand dropped from Jinx's mouth.
"She's standing right there."
They all turned and looked; Ellen stood there, and she did not look very happy. In fact, she looked utterly pissed off. "Oh fuck."
"Joanna Beth, we're going now." Jo's shoulders fell and she nodded; she knew it was not the time to argue with her. "And you five, you pack your things. We're going now."
"Yes ma'am." Came in a chorus before they all headed about to the apartment.
Ellen watched them as they packed up their things in record time. The entire time, Ellen stood there with her arms crossed over her chest, silent as the grave. Jinx felt dirty; from being locked in a small space with Jo and for being locked in a sewer. Right now all she wanted was a shower.
Once everyone was packed, the dilemma of who was going to ride with who came to light. They stand there in the parking lot; they knew they didn't have much time, Ellen wouldn't stand for it. "Ace, you want to ride with me?" Jinx asked in Arabic as she looked at her.
"I'm mad at you."
"Does that mean make up sex?" Ace shook her head and Jinx frowned. "Damn."
"But I'm mad at Dean too."
"You gotta pick one of us."
"And this is why I want my own car."
Jinx rolled her eyes and climbed in. "I'll make it easy." She said as she looked at Sam. "Hop on in, Ace is riding with Dean."
Sam silently thanked her as he climbed into the passenger seat. "Hey, you two better show up to the road house, no quickie nookie on the side of the road." Dean said with a warning tone as Jinx flipped him off and back out of the parking lot.
Dean sighed as he looked at the two very angry women and the one upset one; this was going to be a fun ride. After about ten minutes of uncomfortable silence, Dean turned the radio on. 'Cold as Ice' by Foreigner played. Ellen quickly turned it off.
Dean took a deep breath; he was going to kill Sam and Jinx for leaving him alone with these three.
"Mom i-"
"Don't even start Jo."
"Jinx got kidnapped too." Ellen looked back at her, then to Dean. "Yeah, that was one my fault." Ellen looked as if she was about to explode. "Then she did this, her tattoos on her wrists. They were glowing."
"Tattoos don't glow Jo." Ace said, irritated; she hated having to share the backseat with her.
"I know that, but I also know that there is nothing out there that can grab ghost; I watched Jinx grab Holmes and stab him. May have been my first hunt, but I know that's not normal."
Dean's hands tighten on the steering wheel, wondering what Jinx was hiding now.
Ace looked at Jo. "The circle ones on her wrists? The ones that look like seals?" Jo nodded. "They were glowing?"
"Am I speaking another language?" Ace's fists tighten; she was not going to call Jo names while her mother was in the car, no matter how tempting it was and she was definitely not going to hit her.
"Brighter as he got closer." Ace nodded and started to go through everything she could think of, anything and everything she had ever read to explain that; she was coming up with nothing.

Jinx was silent as she drove. "Would you stop staring?"
"Don't do that to me again."
"Do what? Be bait, do my job?"
"Both."
"So, do you want me to sit at the motel room and wait?"
"Yes." Jinx looked at him; he wasn't joking.
"Sam, we've known each other since we were in diapers, when have you known me to just sit around?"
"I just, I don't want to go through that again. Something taking you and me not knowing."
Jinx held her hand out to him; Sam laced his fingers through hers. "This job is dangerous and most days it sucks, but trust me, there are worse things out there."
"Really and what?"
"Adrenaline junkies."
"You are."
"I know, imagine if I was jumping out of planes, swimming with sharks, that kind of shit."
"Can we just switch to that instead?"
Jinx shook her head. "Sorry babe, I like saving people."
Sam sighed; he knew that was never going to change. "I know." He looked down and she pulled on his hand softly, making him look up at her.
"Hey, at least we're together right? Don't have to hide it. Just endure hours of endless torture from Dean and Ace."
"Yeah." He said with a small smile.
The road house was in view now. "And I don't know about you, but after being in the sewer, I could really use a shower."
"That does sound nice."
"After we get yelled at by Ellen of course."
"She can be scary."
Jinx smirked. "Bet she is a fire cat though."
"Jinx."
"What? I cant help it." Sam leaned over and kissed her quickly; he didn't want to cause her to crash with anything longer. "Do, do you think Ace is going to forgive Dean?"
"Oh yeah. Those two are going to be knockin boots anytime now. Got a song picked out?"
"Yep, something just for you."
"Really? What?"
Sam shook his head. "I'm not telling till you actually win."
Jinx pulled the jeep into a parking spot. "I could always make you."
"I would love to see you try."
"Consider it a deal." About ten minutes later, the impala pulled up next to them.

Dean winced as Ellen climbed out and slammed the door. He climbed out too. He watched as Jo climbed out with her bag. Ellen glared at her. He would have followed them but this thing with Jinx was in he front of his mind.
Ace climbed out of the impala and slammed the door. She stalked over to the jeep and watched as Jinx climbed out. Jinx looked at her. Ace glared at her friend.
"What the hell is going on with you?" Ace demanded.
"Ahh, Acey, be specific."
"Jo told us that your tattoos glowed whenever Holmes came close. That they glowed brighter the closer he got. Now, I want to know what they do and I want to know now."
"No."
Sam climbed out of the jeep and walked over to them. For once they were yelling in English. Sam looked up when Dean came over to them. He also looked angry.
"Jinx, what the hell are you keeping from us?" Dean demanded.
"I tried already, Dean. She isn't going to talk," Ace said.
"Like hell she isn't."
"Look, I am trying to protect you guys. You don't need to know this," Jinx said.
"Yes, we do," Ace stated.
"What are you guys talking about?" Sam asked not knowing what they were talking about.
"Jinx's tattoos glow apparently. And she isn't telling us why or how," Dean said crossing his arms across his chest.
"Look none of this matters Ellen and Jo-."
"Don't do that. They don't matter to me but you do. So Goddammit Jinx, tell me what you have been hiding from me! I love you and I want to know what is going on!" Ace yelled tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Ace-."
"Jinx, please. I... I want to know too," Sam said looking at her.
Jinx looked at the three people standing around her. She swore and closed her eyes. She was going to have to tell them. She didn't want to but Jo had squealed and now she had no choice. She knew they were not going to be happy.
Jinx leaned against her door, and slowly pulled up her sleeves. It was time for something that came as easy to her as breathing did to others; lying. She looked down at them, then back up at them. "I don't, remember getting them. I don't know what they do, or why they do it. Just sometimes,"
"Sometimes what? You can grab ghosts?"
"Yeah."
"I don't believe you. If you don't know, then what are you protecting us from?"
Jinx looked down; how could she tell them about what had happened to her. About how she almost died. She couldn't. "I don't need this shit. If you guys cant trust me, then fine." Jinx ripped open her door and slammed it behind her. She was already pulling out of the parking lot before they realized what she was doing.
"JINX!" Ace shouted after her, but she kept driving.
Ace felt her knees go weak and Dean grabbed her, holding her tightly. "I got you."
"She left."
"She'll be back. You know she will."
Ace shook her head. "She cant keep doing this, pushing me away, pushing us away." She sobbed; Dean rubbed her back, trying to calm her, but he knew it was useless; Jinx leaving was killing her. Hell, it was killing him too.
Dean looked over to Sam; he stood there shocked, as if not really understanding what had just happened. "Sam."
"Don't." he said as he walked over to the impala and climbed in. This wasn't happening. How could he let her out of his life like this again? He knew she ran when she was upset, and this was exactly what she was doing.
Sam hit the dashboard in anger. He pulled out his phone and quickly dialed Jinx's number; it went straight to voicemail. "Goddamn it Jinx, please don't do this again. Don't run. Please? I just got you back in my life. Just call me when you get this. So we know you're okay." He hung up and looked over at Dean and Ace; she was going to be a mess.
Sam rested his head against the dashboard, thinking about how they had gone from having her and now losing her.

Jinx had spent most of the day and night driving. She had only stopped for gas and when Baby really whined about needing to go out. It only took her a little over twenty four hours to get home. She dialed the security code as if she was on autopilot.
Once she pulled up to the house, she sat there; she needed to sleep, and needed to go into the house, but she didn't know if she could bring herself to. That's when she saw another car sitting there. She sighed; she did not have the strength or patience to deal with her right now.
Jinx climbed out of the jeep and let Baby out. "Stay on property. No night swimming." She said as he barked at her and went off running.
Jinx grabbed her bag and walked up to the front door; it was unlocked. She shook her head. When she walked in, the TV was on and there was a young girl sitting on the couch. "What did I tell you? If you're going to stay here, you need to lock the front door."
"Why? No one knows about this place." She said as she ate a handful of popcorn.
"That's not the point Jett, did you check the traps?"
"Yes ma'am." Jinx gave her a half smile as she plopped down on the couch next to her.
"So, what are we watching?"
"Well, I was just wondering about this." Jett said as she used the controller to switch modes. The TV was now broadcasting the security tapes. "Whose he? He's damn hot."
"Jett!" she yelled as she grabbed the remote and changed it back to regular TV.
"So?"
"That's Sam."
"Sam, as in, Sam Winchester? As in Dean Winchester whom you screwed in high school?"
"God, you don't forget anything, do you?"
"Nope." She said as Jinx sighed. Jett looked at her, finally seeing the circles under her eyes. "You okay?"
"No, not really."
"What happened?"
Jinx shook her head. "Can you just find a good movie and let Baby in when he paws at the door."
"And what will you be doing?"
"Taking a very long bath."
"Okay. Mom says hi."
"I bet she does. Doe she even know you're here?" Jett gave her a look. "I thought as much." Jinx muttered as she kicked her shoes off, wiggling out of her jeans as she walked towards the master bedroom.
Jinx laid in the bathtub, popping random bubbles when the door was pushed open. Baby walked in first with Jett not far behind him; she was covering her eyes with a magazine. "Are you covered?"
"I'm naked in a bathtub Jett."
"Are there bubbles?"
"Yes." She said tiredly as Jett lowered the magazine.
"Okay." She said as she sat on the floor, leaning against the cabinet doors. "Baby was getting lonely."
"Uh huh."
Jinx looked at her. "What are you doing here Jett?"
Jett sighed. "I missed you. Missed this house. I miss my brother."
Jinx nodded. "I miss him too."
Jett looked up at her. "I can tell."
"Jett that's not-"
"I know. Sorry sister aggression."
Jinx chuckled. Jinx rested her chin on the edge of the tub. "I started hunting with them again."
"Really? Can I meet them?"
Jinx shook her head. "Dean doesn't know about Billy, either does Ace."
Jett looked at her confused. "My friend. The one I went to Egypt with."
"Right, but Sam does."
"I told him."
Jett smiled. "You must really like him then." Jinx nodded. "So what the hell are you doing here?" Jinx wouldn't look at her. "You're running again."
It wasn't a question; it was a statement.
"Why?"
"Some stupid fucking wanna be blond hunter, she saw them. told the others, and-"
"You cant tell them!" Jett said, almost panicked.
"I know sweetie. Its why I'm here. I just needed to get away. I know they aren't going to live it down, but distance is the best idea right now."
Jett looked down at the magazine. "What are you going to tell them?"
"I don't know yet. They'll figure it out soon. They're not stupid." Jett nodded.
They were quiet a while before Jett spoke. "Why don't you call anymore? I missed you."
"I know Jett. Hunting has been, well its been a busy world out there."
Jett nodded, looking down at the floor. "You should call more."
"I will."
Jett nodded and stood. "I'm going to go find us a movie. You want a sandwich?"
"When don't I?" she asked with a smile as Jett walked out.
Jinx laid her head back on the tub; of all the times for Jett to be there when she was, this was one hell of a time. She took a deep breath and went under. When she was little, she and Sam used to see who could hold their breath underwater the longest; Dean used to time them. It would usually be a tie.
Jinx doubted that Sam even remembered that; she just had a good memory for it. When she came back up, Baby was looking at her and licked her face. "I love you too Baby." Maybe this is what she needed; just a small break.

Dean looked at Ace lying on the bed. He cleaned his gun for what must have been the fourth time in the span of one day. He placed it on the table and sighed. The past day had not gone too well. Ace after gaining a little composer had proceeded to get drunk. Dean had let her. Ending in her passed out state on the bed; she had been right, she could out drink him.
And then just an hour ago, Sam had taken off for parts unknown. Dean got up and walked over to the bed. He sat beside Ace's body. She still wore the clothes form the hunt and didn't care about the fact that she was dirty. And Dean couldn't remember the last time she had eaten anything. He leaned over her body so he could look at her face. He saw the tears running down her cheeks.
"Sweetheart, wake up," he said gently running a hand down her arm.
"How could she just run away?" Ace whispered her hand curling around the pillow.
"I don't know. It'll be okay though, she'll come back."
"What if she doesn't?"
"Well, you still got me."
Ace closed her eyes and let out a sob. She felt Dean's arms come around as he held her. Again. He had been doing that a lot in he past twenty-four hours. Ace rolled over and buried her face in his chest.
"I am trying really hard to be strong," she cried.
"I know you are, priss. It's okay."
"No it isn't. I just wanted her to let me in."
"I know. Shh, it'll be okay. Jinx will come back. But in the meantime, you think you could help me out?"
"With what?"
Dean pulled away and placed his hand on her cheek. He looked into her violet eyes and wished that she would care about him like she cared about Jinx. Those two had a connection and he was a little jealous of it.
"Well, think you could help me take care of you? Jinx would kill me is she came back and found you like this," he told her.
"I don't want to move though."
"Ace, baby you need a bath and a change of clothes. Not to mention something to eat."
"I'm not hungry."
"Alright. How about a bath?"
"No."
"Shower?"
"Pinky-."
"I'll share with you. How does that sound?"
"Sounds like all you want is to get laid."
Ace pulled away from him. She sat up and grabbed her head. The pounding was horrible. She felt Dean wrap an arm around her but she pushed him away. She tried to stand up but fell over. Dean climbed out of bed and helped her up.
"You need help, you can barely stand. Just let me help you, Ace. I am not going to take anything that you don't want to give me," he told her softly.
"I feel like shit... Physically and mentally."
"I know. Let me help."
Ace looked at Dean's green eyes. She saw the care he held in them when he looked at her. She wrapped and arm around him and rested her head on his chest.
"You're right. I need help," she whispered.
"Alright. I'm think a bath is our best bet since you can't stand up straight."
"Dean."
"Yeah?"
"Thank you."
Dean swung her up in his arms. He carried her to the bathroom not saying a word in reply. He didn't really know what to say to her.

Sam sat in the bar sipping his drink. He had just needed to be out of that room. He could feel Ace's pain and he couldn't stand to sit back and watch he hurt anymore. So he had left and found the closet bar. He finished his drink. He looked at the bartender and motioned for another one.
He pulled out his cell phone. He told himself he was not going to call Jinx again. He had already left what must have been a hundred messages on her cell. He wondered if he had filled the inbox already. Well, one way to find out. He dialed her number by memory. He listened to it ring praying she would pick up. Instead he got her voice mail, again.
"Jinx, it's Sam again. Please call me. I... I want to know that you're okay. Please," he said. He waited for a moment then hung up.
The bartender placed the glass in front of him. He drank it and stared at the bar top. Maybe Ace had had the right idea. Just get drunk to numb the pain.

Dean turned off the water and looked at Ace sting on the toilet cover. He sat on the edge of the tub and looked at her. She looked up at him holding her head.
"You're going to have undress me," she said softly.
"I know. Are you okay with this?"
"It's not what I had in mind the first time you would see me in my birthday suit but... I think I can handle it."
Ace saw Dean nod. He came closer and pulled off the shirt. She raised her arms and groaned. Her entire body seemed to hurt. She lowered her arms and watched as Dean tossed the shirt aside. He then reached behind her and undid her bra. She blushed a little as he yanked it off and tossed it aside as well.
"You are very beautiful," he told her softly.
"You think so?" she asked.
"I do. Okay, now you're going to have to stand so I can get the shorts down your legs."
"Kay."
Dean helped Ace stand up trying really hard not to think about her half naked body pressed up against his. He reached down with one hand and pushed her shorts and underwear down her hips. HE then sat her back on the toilet lid and pulled the shorts the rest of the way down leaving Ace naked. He dropped the shorts and underwear on the floor and picked her up.
Ace rested her head on his shoulder as he lowered her in the water. Once in he tub she rested her back against the back of the tub and closed her eyes. She heard Dean stand up and leave the room. The hot water felt good on her body. She opened her eyes when Dean came back in he bathroom with her bag. He dropped it on he floor.
"I'll leave the door open and be right out there if you-," he started.
"Dean, could you just sit with me? I... I don't want to be alone," she whispered.
"Alright. I can do that."
Dean sat on the toilet lid watching Ace. She smiled at him and in that moment, just a tiny moment, the pain and hurt was gone from her face. He smiled back wishing that those feelings would stay gone.

Jett looked over at Jinx as she slept. She went to stand and Baby perked up. "Its okay Baby, I'm just getting a drink of water." She said, Baby settled back down. Jett walked into the kitchen and grabbed a glass out of the cabinet. After she filled it with water she leaned against the sink, thinking.
Then she saw Jinx's cell phone sitting on the counter; it was blinking with a message.
She couldn't help herself; she had always been a meddler. It used to drive Billy insane.
Jett walked over to Jinx's phone and picked it up. She made sure Jinx was still sleeping as she walked down the hall to her bedroom.
Once she locked the door and flipped it open. Fifty missed calls. Jett didn't know someone could miss that many calls, then again she did say she didn't leave on the best of terms. She quickly dialed her voice box and waited.
After the first few left from Sam, and one angry one from Dean, Jett couldn't listen anymore. She realized that as much as she wanted to keep Jinx here, she was needed elsewhere. Jett sighed as she dialed Sam's number.
Sam took a sip of his drink, then looked at his phone when it started ringing. He thought it was Dean demanding him to come back with the impala, but instead it was Jinx. He answered it lightening quick. "Jinx? Oh my god, where are you? Are you okay?"
It was silent on the other end. "Jinx?"
"This isn't Jinx." He heard an unfamiliar females voice on the other end. "Who is this? Why do you have her phone?" he heard her take a deep breath.
"My names Jett. I'm Billy's little sister."
Sam paused for a minute. "Is she okay?"
"She's fine. She sleeping. Passed out really. Lights out barely ten minutes into the movie."
"Thank god."
Jett felt so bad for doing this. "I know you want to know where she is, and I think you know where she is."
"The house."
"Yeah, but, I don't think it's a good idea for you to come here."
"Why-"
"She needs time. She told me about what happened."
"You know about the tattoos then?"
"No, she's had them since before I met her, before she met Billy."
"But she's okay, right?"
"Yeah Sam, she's fine. Listen, I know she feels, terrible for leaving you guys, and that her keeping secrets is a bitch, but you've known her forever, you know she does this for a reason."
"I know, but god- I shouldn't be spilling this to you." Sam sighed. "Do you know what she's going to come back? Any idea?"
"No, but if I know her, and I think I do pretty well; she doesn't like sitting still for very long."
"Yeah, she always had that problem when we were kids."
"I'll try and get her back to you guys as soon as possible, just…"
"Yeah?"
"Try not to run her off. I heard one of the messages from Dean, and he sounds livid."
"Well, he likes Ace and Ace is a mess right now."
"I understand. Listen, like I said, I'll try and get her back to you guys soon."
"Thanks." "No problem Sam. Maybe one day I can meet you and your brother in person." She said before hanging up.

Two days later, Ace had just gotten used to the fact that Jinx had abandoned her. She and Dean had started a kind of routine; she would wake up, call Jinx and leave her a message about being a bitch and then Dean would take the phone from her.
Dean would try and get her to eat more then a couple of bites of food. All the while, Sam didn't look half as upset as he was a couple of days ago; Dean knew there was something up, but he was too busy worrying about Ace to ask him what was going on.
On the third day of Jinx's absence, Ace had a dream about Jinx being back, and when she opened her eyes, she swore she saw Jinx sitting there. "Jinx?" she asked softly as she nodded. Ace started crying again.
"Shh babe, its okay. I'm here." She said as she slipped into the bed next to her, wrapping her arms around her as Ace buried her face in her neck, still sobbing.
Ace tried talking, but she was too overcome with joy that Jinx was back she couldn't speak, and at the moment, she couldn't even be mad at her. "I know, I'm the worse person in the world." Ace mumbled something against her neck and Jinx just nodded; she was going to be spending a lot of time making this up to her.
Dean killed the engine and looked at Sam. "So, how the hell are you dealing with this?"
"I got a call a couple of days ago."
"From Jinx? And you're just now-"
"No."
"Then who?"
"The friend Jinx was staying with. Said she would be back soon."
"That's great, and you're just now tell me this? What the hell is wrong with you Sam? Haven't you see Ace the last couple of days? Knowing this would have-"
"Dean."
"Sam, I am not done yelling."
"Dean." Sam said, pointing at Jinx's jeep.
"Son of a bitch." He said as he and Sam rushed out of the car and into the motel room.
Low and behold, Jinx was in bed with Ace, muttering to her in Arabic. Jinx looked up at them, tears in her own eyes as she brought her finger to her lips. "Shh." Dean was trying very hard not to start yelling at her for leaving like that, then again seeing her tears was a factor in stopping him. Sam smiled at her and she smiled back; god she had missed him.
Once Jinx was sure Ace had gone back to sleep, she tried to pull away, but Ace tighten her grip on her; even in her sleep, she was determined not to let het go. "I know you're really pissed off at me. But if anyone gets to yell at me first, its going to be Ace once she wakes up."
Dean wanted to punch her, he was so mad. "Thanks for taking care of her."
"You left, again. You have got to stop doing this to her."
"I know." She said as she looked down at her. "I'm a fucked up person Dean. This is what fucked up people do."
"That's not an excuse."
"I know."
Dean took a deep breath to remain calm. "So, what now?"
"Now, you don't ask me about my tattoos, I don't ask you about any of yours."
"Jinx that's not-"
"No. I am putting my foot down on this. Its better off with you guys not knowing. It's a story that, I don't want to retell." Her eyes flickered to Sam for a moment and he got the awful feeling it had something to do with Billy. "Plus, we have a case. Black dogs spotted." Dean gave up trying to get through to her. He sat at the table in the room and waited for Ace to wake up; this was going to be awesome. Better then TV.
