PS. Can You Spot The Writers Literally Writing Themselves In?
Ace searched her notes and looked at Jinx. Jinx was humming a tune that Ace didn't know. Ace rolled her eyes and read over her notes on the hunt again.
"So, a crossroads demon. You can make deals and get ten years," Ace said softly.
"Yeah, and then your soul goes to Hell for an eternity. I think that that isn't a fair deal."
"Sometimes, it doesn't matter if it's fair or not. Just being able to be with that person again and... See them. Ten years can be a lifetime."
Jinx swerved the jeep onto the shoulder. Ace turned and looked at her. Jinx grabbed the seatbelt and undid it. She did the same to Ace's; she then climbed out of the jeep and stalked over to the passenger side. She yanked open the door and yanked Ace out. Baby climbed off the passenger seat and hide under it. He knew when his mommy was pissed.
"Ace Nirvana Kincaid, you better not be thinking about selling your soul!" Jinx yelled.
"What? Jinx-."
"Cause I am not going to let you do it! We all have lost someone who we wish we could have back but... I won't let you do it!"
Ace hugged Jinx. She wasn't mad at her anymore. She rubbed Jinx's back then pulled away. She looked at her friend.
"Jinxy, I wasn't going to do it. I would never do that to you. Ever. You know that, right?"
"I just... I know how much you miss your dad. I know you would do anything to get him back."
"Not that. Never that. What would be the point? You know Ari would know, and you and... My dad would not be happy about it. Ever."
"Okay. I just needed to clarify that."
"We good now."
"Yeah. But you forgot someone else who would be mad."
"Who?"
"Dean. He likes you."
"Oh please."
"Ace and Dean sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G-."
"Do you really want to go there? Cause I know someone who is has probably done it in a tree with Sam?"
"Really? Who?"
Jinx laughed when Ace pulled away and shoved her. She looked at her friend and saw Ace smiling. She knew that Ace had forgiven her; she also knew that Ace would never forget though. Jinx sighed, she was going to be riding a slippy slope for a while.
Dean sat in the booth and stared at the ceiling. For once, he had gotten to the diner before Jinx. He turned and saw Sam searching the net. He sighed and waited. Nothing. He groaned, still nothing. He rolled his eyes then slammed down the laptop lid. Sam yelped and grabbed his hand. He looked up and glared at Dean.
"What was that for?" Sam asked.
"Call Jinx. I miss my priss."
"Call her yourself."
"No, she's your girlfriend."
"And Ace is your girlfriend."
Sam smirked when he saw the shocked look on Dean's face. Score one for the little brother. He turned and looked when he saw Jinx's jeep pull in the parking lot. He looked back to Dean. His brother was still shocked.
"She isn't... My girlfriend," Dean finally said.
"Then what is she, Dean? Because Ace doesn't hit me as the type to just sit around and wait for you to make up your mind."
"I... Dammit, Sam. This is all your fault!"
"What?"
"Nice to see you two got along in our absence," Ace said rolling her eyes sitting beside Dean.

Jinx sat next to Sam and looked around. "So, do we have a hot waitress?" Sam and Ace glared at her.
"Oh come on, just appreciating the view."
"Haven't seen her yet." Dean said as Jinx sat back, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I want waffles."
"Its lunch." Sam said as she looked at him.
"You know I don't follow stupid meal rules. I used to make pancakes for dinner all the time."
"That's cause you cant cook anything else." Dean said, Jinx was about to say something snippy back then nodded.
"True. I cant cook." She looked at Sam. "You can cook right?"
When Jinx was met with silence, she sighed. "I forgot. We didn't cook." She looked at Ace. "I need a wife."
Ace raised her hand. "Thank god. Make me a sandwich." Ace scoffed. "Make your own damn sandwich."
"You're a sucky wife." Jinx joked; Ace looked down. She knew Jinx didn't mean it, but the words still rang in her ears. Jinx saw her expression and nudged her foot gently with her own.
"Hey, you're an awesome wife where is counts." she said with a wink as Ace smiled.
"Damn straight." Dean groaned, nearly shouting at the waitress to come over before he saw her bee lining for their table.
Jinx looked up at her, smiling widely at her. "Hi," She looked at her name tag. "Kadie." she offered a bright smile for all four of them.
"Sorry about that y'all. We're a bit understaffed today." Kadie pulled her pen out of her hair. "Can I get anyone some drinks to start off with while you're still looking at the menu?"
Dean smiled at her, looking at Ace. "Two Dr. Peppers."
"Thanks Pinky." Ace said as she kissed her cheek.
"And you two?" Jinx looked at Dean and Ace, wanting to puke; she really hope she and Sam weren't that cutesy.
She would stab herself. "Grapefruit juice would be awesome, thanks Kadie." She nodded as she wrote it down.
"And you?" she asked as she looked at Sam; even her hazel eyes were smiling. This girl either had ten cops of coffee this morning or really loved life. "Just coffee thank you."
"Okay, I'll grab those for ya, and just holler when you know what you're having." Kadie said as she walked over to one of her tables, Dean staring at her ass.
Ace smacked his arm. "Sitting right here."
"What? Jinx was staring too." Ace looked over at her, Jinx shrugged a shoulder.
"What? She had a nice ass."
"You two are impossible." she muttered as she looked through the menu.
"I like her, she's nice." Jinx said with a smile.
"Course you do."
Jinx made a face. "You know you're the only girl for me."
"Better be."
"Awww, isn't she cute when she gets jealous?" Jinx asked as Dean nodded.
"Really cute."
"She even turns a bit red and-"
"Shut up Jinx." Jinx pursed her lips together, trying not to laugh.
As Ace was about to say something to embarrass Jinx, they heard Kadie's voice float through the diner. "Jensen, order up on three."
"I'm on it woman."
"Then get on it faster."
They could here the cook Jensen muttering a string of curse words as another man laughed. "Shut up Jared."
"Dude, you're whipped."
"Like you're not."
"You two are so funny." Kadie yelled as another waitress walked in from the back; she was medium height with her hair dark hair pulled out of her face, and she was very pregnant. "Amanda what the hell are you doing here?"
"Working."
"I called the hospital earlier, you should be having a baby right now."
"Well, baby says no, so I came to work."
Kadie rubbed her forehead and looked back to the two cooks. "Jared make your stubborn ass wife go back to the hospital."
"What are you-" Jared saw his pregnant wife standing there and dropped the dryer pan. "Pea what are you-"
"I'm working." Jared started laughing as he walked up front and took his wife into the back.
Kadie came up a few minutes later with their drinks. "Sorry about the drama show." she said as she set their drinks in front of them.
"Ever known someone who was really stubborn?" she asked as everyone at the table looked at each other; Kadie smiled. "I'll take that as a yes." Kadie pulled her notepad out. "So, what can I get y'all?"
Before anyone could order, there was a crash in the back. She took a deep breath, rolling her eyes. "Sorry." they heard Jensen call from the back.
"Well darlin I will definitely be having this waffle thing you got going on."
"Any toppings?" "Ummm. Whipped cream. Oh yeah. Whipped cream."
Kadie smiled. "A fan of the whipped cream I take it?"
"I've seen her down three bottles in ten minutes" Ace said as Kadie chuckled.
"Thats impressive. And you?"
Ace was having a hard time being mad at this girl because Dean and Jinx had been staring at her. "The Greek salad and a chocolate shake."
"You want double fudge chocolate ice cream?"
Ace was in love. From her expression alone, Kadie knew this was a yes; she had been doing this a long time. "Okay. You want whipped cream on top too?"
"Can I marry you?"
Kadie chuckled. "I don't think my husband will mind." she nodded her head over to the cook Jensen. She leaned closer. "Take me with you."
"I don't think so. We're married." Jinx said as she crossed her arms over her chest.
Kadie snapped her fingers. "Too bad. Guess I'll stay with my husband. Just don't tell him about this."
"You're secret is safe with me." Ace said with a smile as she looked at Dean.
"And you sir?"
"The breakfast special."
"Bacon or sausage?"
"Bacon."
"And how do you want your eggs?"
"Sunny side up."
Kadie smiled at that. "And toast? You have the option of white, wheat, rye and sour dough."
"I'll stick to white, thank you."
"You are white bread." Jinx said as Kadie looked at Sam.
"And you?"
Sam could tell she was having a hard time not laughing. "Chicken Caesar salad."
"And do you want your chicken fried or blacken?"
"Blacken."
"Okay, coming right up." she said as she took the menus and handed her husband the ticket.
"Try not to fuck it up."
"Try to write like a normal human being."
"Ugh." she said as she grabbed an order he called.

Jinx looked at Ace. "You weren't really considering-"
"I don't know. She knew I wanted double fudge chocolate."
"Who wouldn't?"
"You."
"Thats because fudge is gross."
Ace rolled her eyes. "No, I wasn't."
"Okay." Jinx said as she looked at Sam; he had logged back onto his laptop.
"You know, if you were any other guy, I would think you were looking up porn, hell even if you were a girl on the computer, but no, you're looking up crossroads, aren't you?"
"Yeah, that's what the hunt is about." Sam looked at her a bit confused. Jinx tapped his cheek softly before kissing him. "Don't worry Sammy, I'll corrupt you soon enough." she said as he leaned over, whispering in her ear.
Ace didn't think it was possible for Jinx to giggle like that, but now she wanted to throw cold water on them. "Guys, I haven't even had my food yet."
"Sorry."
"No you're not." Ace said in a sing-song tone as Dean wrapped his arm around her shoulder. He just remembered that they were going to be alone, in the car, driving. There was going to be a lot of open field between here and Greenwood.
Ace did promise after all. "So, you two are going to be riding together, right?" Dean asked, looking at Sam and Jinx.
"Yeah, that was the agreement."
"Good." he said with a grin as Jinx looked at him, studying him for a moment.
Het jaw dropped in excitement. "Are you two finally going to fuck?"
They looked up at Kadie was standing there with a big tray that held their food. "I am going to say I came over here at the entirely wrong time."
"I am so-" Sam started to apologize, completely embarrassed, but Kadie waved him off.
"No need to worry. You'd be surprised what I overhear about here doll." she said she set their food down in front of them. "Now y'all enjoy. I need to go yell at my brother in law."
"Can we watch?" Jinx asked; free entertainment like this was always good.
"Yeah, are you going to kill him?"
"Are you offering to help with the body?" She asked as something else crashed in the back. "I should go check on my idiot husband, please enjoy."
Once she had walked away, Dean looked at Ace, pointing her. "She is getting a big tip."
"Hells yes she is. She's like, the best waitress ever." Ace said as she caught Jinx trying to fork an olive off her plate.
"Hey, get your own."
"But I don't like anything in the salad but the olives." Ace sighed and let her fork one. Jinx ate it happily, smiling when they heard arguing in the back.
"Is it terrible this is so much fun?"
"Not at all."
A few minutes later, they heard Jared yell happily. "Its a boy!"
Several people in the diner cheered; Ace and Jinx didn't see any harm on joining in. "And this is what I call dinner and a show."
"But its lunch." Dean said as everyone laughed.
"What?"
"Never mind Pinky."

Ace looked up from her notes when Dean pulled into a field. She turned and looked at him pushing her glasses up her nose. He shut the impala off and turned to look at her. He gave her a smile.
"Why are you stopping?" she asked placing her papers on the dash board.
"Well, I seem to remember someone making a promise," he said.
"Hmmm, I did, didn't I?"
"That you did."
Dean pulled Ace in his arms. He smiled and settled her on his lap. He smiled at her and took off her glasses. He put them in her bag and pushed it to the floor. He ran a hand up her thigh and under her skirt. He leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
Ace wrapped her arms around Dean's neck and kissed him back. She smiled when she felt his fingers dig into to her skin. She ran her hands over his shoulders and pushed off his button up and jacket. She grabbed them and tossed them in the back. She pulled up his t-shirt. She pulled away from the kiss and shook her head.
"You wear too many layers, Pinky," she said pulling his t-shirt off.
"Just making you work for it," he answered pulling off her shirt and smiling at her red lace bra, "I like."
"I wore it just for you."
Dean smiled and leaned in. He kissed down Ace's neck. He bit her on the shoulder. She moaned pressing her body against his. He smirked and pulled down her bra strap. His lips followed the strap as he pulled it down her arm. He dropped it and turned his attention to the other strap. He repeated the process smiling when he felt Ace's hand grip his belt buckle. He pulled away and looked at her. Her eyes had become a dark lavender. He ran his thumb over her lips.
"Do you want me?" he asked softly.
"I shouldn't, cause I know that you are probably going to end up hurting me but... I wouldn't be sitting in your lap if I didn't," Ace answered slowly reaching behind her and undoing her bra. She tossed it aside kissing him on the lips hard.
Ace felt his erection though his jeans. She rubbed against it causing them both to moan. She felt Dean's fingers as they caressed her nipples and breasts. Her lips moved to his neck. She licked down Adam apple's smiling when she heard a low growl come from the back of his throat. Her fingers trailed down his chest slowly. She reached his belt and slowly started to undo it.
"Priss, you better be planning on moving faster than this," Dean said pinching one of her nipples; he got harder when she let out a sexy little gasp.
"Now, Dean, you can't rush perfection," she said undoing the belt and pulling down his zipper.
"Hmm, that explains why you are so beautiful."
Dean watched as Ace looked up and met his eyes. Everything just stood still. Her lip-gloss was smeared, her hair tossed over one shoulder, she had never looked better to him. He kissed her again. She pulled away and looked at him.
"You really think I'm beautiful?" she whispered.
"I do. Beautiful, sexy, smart, tough... I could go on."
"Thank you."
"How about you thank me in a different way?"
Ace smiled when she felt Dean's hands running down her stomach to her skirt. His hands then moved under the skirt pulling on her panties. She leaned back her back pressing against the steering wheel. She lifted her leg and rested it against Dean's shoulder as he pulled down her underwear. She did the same thing with the other leg. Dean ran a hand over her leg and looked at her.
"Do I ever want to know?" he whispered pulling one leg free of her underwear then the other.
"I'll tell you later," Ace whispered pulling her legs down and settling herself on Dean's lap. She heard him groan as she pressed on his hard on.
"Are you done?" he asked reaching down and releasing himself from his jeans since Ace wasn't moving fast enough for him.
"No, I am just getting started," she answered pinching his nipple.
"So am I."
Ace sucked in a breath when Dean's arms came around her and thrust into her. He filled her in one swift move. She bit his shoulder as he rocked them and slowly pulled out of her and slammed back in. His tip was hitting her spot perfectly. She dug her nails into his shoulders and moaned.
Dean couldn't believe how tight she was. He ran his hands down her back holding her body against his. She fit against him perfect and he didn't want to let her go. He pulled away and kissed her on the lips again as he thrust into her. He moved his lips down her jaw and her neck. He heard her moan and sigh and it drove him insane. He moved faster thrusting in and out of her.
Ace held on to Dean tight. She felt like her skin was on fire with every little touch from him. She bit her lip when she felt him hit the spot again and again. She was going to come soon.
"Dean... harder," she whispered in his ear biting then licking it.
"Whatever Priss wants," he managed to say slamming into her hard.
"Oh God," she said biting his neck.
Dean felt her tighten around him he smiled into her neck knowing he was close too. He turned her head and kissed her on the lips. She kissed him back and he thrusted into one last time. He felt her body shudder with his as he released inside of her. He deepened the kiss and held her close to him as she came down.
Ace opened her eyes and saw Dean watching her. She placed a hand on his cheek and gave him a tired smile. She then rested her head on his shoulder. She didn't want to move from this spot. Especially not when she felt Dean's hands rubbing her back and dancing along her skin.
"We need to do that again," she said smiling when she felt his chest rumble as he laughed.
"Oh, that we do. In a bed with lots of room," Dean answered running his hand across her rib cage and resting it on her breast.
"Pinky, this doesn't leave the car."
"I know. Wasn't planning on telling anyone."
"Yeah, it would cause too many problems," Ace whispered slowly pulling away from Dean and looking for her shirt.
"Where do you think you are going?"
"Getting dressed so we can go."
"Not yet. Who knows when I will have you alone again?"
Ace felt Dean grow hard inside of her again. She smiled and kissed him completely ignoring her cell phone as it rang. She recognized the ring tone. It was 'You Give Love a Bad Name', which meant Steven was calling her. He could wait.

Sam turned the station and Jinx turned it back. Sam changed it back to what he wanted and gently slapped Jinx's hand out of the way when she turned to turn it back. "Are you trying to piss me off?" she asked as she looked at him.
Sam gave her the same look. "I have no say when Dean's driving, hell I don't even have any say when I'm driving. Can we please listen to something else?"
Jinx sighed and looked back to the road. "Fine, but the second they start sounding whiney and shit, we're changing the channel."
"Thank you."
"Uh huh."
Sam could tell she wasn't too happy with the music station, but he was glad she had let him pick, for once. He watched as she reached behind his seat, looking through her bag with one hand.
"Eyes on the road."
"I'm not twelve Sam, I know how to drive," Jinx smiled in victory when she found the lollipop.
"And my eyes were on the road." She said as she unwrapped the lollipop and started sucking on it.
"You know, Ace never complains about my driving."
"Yes she does, just not to your face." Sam said as she rolled her eyes.
Jinx sighed. "I'm bored."
Sam chuckled. "You're driving."
"But I'm still bored." She pulled the lollipop out of her mouth, holding it in the same hand she was steering with.
Sam turned and looked at her. "What can I do to help?"
"I don't know, what did we used to do on road trips?" This got Sam thinking; he knew he was always reading a book, in fact he remembered Dean and Jinx making fun of him for it. Now that he thought about it, he couldn't remember what she and Dean used to do in the car.
"I don't know what you and Dean did."
Jinx thought for a moment, nodding as she smiled. "What?"
"Playboys."
"Seriously?"
"Yep."
"Where the hell- wait, don't answer that."
"Because you already know the answer." Sam groaned; he certainly didn't want to think about either of theirs dads and their Playboys. "So, how did you find this case?"
"I didn't." she said as she stared at the road; Sam realized how this was going to be; she wasn't just going to tell, he was going to have to ask.
"Okay, how did you come across it?"
"Jett found it."
"She's a hunter?"
Jinx shook her head. "Not if her mom and I have our way. She's like Jo in the way she wants to, but she's got way more brains to know better."
"But she found this hunt?"
"Pointed it out in the paper, followed up on it. Seemed like something fun to do."
"And she's just going to sit back-"
"Told you Sammy, she's way smarter then Jo. she knows she cant handle hunting, that its not for her." Jinx stuck the lollipop back in her mouth and rolled it around.
Sam had the feeling this particular conversation was now over. He pulled out his phone and started looking through his contacts; he was trying to find anything to do other then sitting there in silence then Jinx. Sam couldn't stare at the research for the case any longer; he was going to go cross eyed if he did. "Whatcha doin Sammy?"
"Nothing."
Jinx sighed. "What do you think Ace and Dean are doing right now?"
"I have no idea, arguing about the music." Jinx sighed again; Sam was no good at keeping her entertained, well, in this kind of situation.
Jinx's phone rang and she answered it without looking; that was her first mistake. "Hello?"
"Would you care to explain where you were Trick?"
Jinx nearly dropped the phone. "Oh oh."
"Oh oh is right." Jinx quickly told him in Arabic everything that had happened, then she waited for his answer.
"And why did you not call me? You know I listen, I don't judge."
"I know Ari, but I just didn't want to talk to anyone. I barely spoke to Jett when she was there." she heard Ari sigh.
"I'm sorry Ari, I should have called you."
"Yes, you should have. I was have worried about you, and about Lucky."
"I know."
"I could not find you Trick, I didn't like that. It made me think something horrible-"
"Nothing is going to happen to me, I promised Ace this and I have promised you this. I'm not going anywhere."
"You are too stubborn sometimes Trick."
"I think that's one of my best qualities."
Ari chucked. "Well my love, I know you are driving right now, and your passenger does probably not like you talking and driving."
"No. He doesn't."
"Then goodbye for now. I love you."
"I love you too Ari. Sholom." "Sholom."
After listening to Jinx and Ace speak Arabic all the time, he was starting to pick up on little phrases that they repeated all the time. He had the feeling Jinx had just told Ari that she loved him, but he wasn't sure.
Jinx looked over at Sam, she knew he was waiting to be told what was going on. "It was Ari."
"I guessed as much."
"I was just being, not yelled at, but talked at."
"Talked at?"
"For leaving Ace."
"Are you okay?"
Jinx smiled at him, then nodded. "I deserved it. Plus a yelling from Ari never yelling. Even a talking at isn't harsh. He's velvety smooth like that."
Jinx watched his eyes narrow. "Oh come on, don't be jealous."
"I'm not."
"Uh huh." Jinx stopped in the middle of the road and kissed him. "Really, don't. I'll be all yours."
"All mine?" He asked softly, looking into her amber eyes.
"Well, except for if Ace and I get really drunk together and-"
Sam pulled her to him, kissing her hard. "I like that idea."
"Who doesn't? Everyone loves girls making out."
"I was thinking more about you being all mine."
Jinx smiled. "Oh, that's good too." She said as she kissed him.
There was a honk behind them, wondering why the person just didn't pass them, Jinx and Sam turned to look. It was the impala, and Dean honking the horn with a big smile on his face.
Jinx flipped him off before starting the jeep and speeding off. "You know, if I didn't love your brother so much, I would kill him."
"I agree." Sam said as she chuckled, turning the station.
"My turn for music."
Sam leaned over, running his hand up her thigh. "Are you sure about that?" his voice was husky in her ear.
"Pretty damn sure." Jinx cursed herself for almost stuttering.
"Positive?"
"Sam, don't make me leave you on the side of the road for Dean to pick up."
"You wouldn't?"
"I did it to Ace." Sam thought for a moment, then remembered. "Fine, but next song-" "Ha, try next town." Sam groaned as he slumped down in the seat.

Ace climbed out of the impala and stretched. She looked around the crossroads. The only thing in sight for miles was Lloyd's bar, which had seen better days. Ace closed the door to the impala and walked over to where Jinx had parked her jeep. She got one foot before she felt Dean's arm come around her waist.
"Where are you off to?" he whispered in her ear.
"Well, considering we have a case to work, I am going to see if we have the right crossroads," she answered.
"Hmmm, I say we go find a hotel room and-."
"If I have to listen to anymore of that... Whatever it was I am chopping my ears off!" Sam stated climbing out of the jeep.
"Well, it is better than that emo music you listen too!" Jinx yelled back.
"Ahh, are we interrupting some weird form of foreplay?" Dean asked as Ace and him walked up to them.
"Jinx's choices in music suck," Sam said.
"Not as much as yours does."
"I am so not commenting on this. I am Switzerland, I am neutral," Ace said smiling a little.
"Dean-."
"Oh hell no. I know better than to get in the middle of this. Last time I did that I ended up being hit on both cheeks. I'm with Ace, I'm neutral."
"Can we get back to the case now?" Ace asked.
"Fine, but this isn't finished, Sammy."
"Oh far from it Jinxy."
"Hey, only I get to call her that."
"Children, please," Dean shook his head.
The four of them walked into the crossroads. They all stood in what appeared to be the middle of it. Ace kicked the stones with her sandals and looked around. She nudged Jinx and pointed to the flowers.
"Euro flowers, used for summoning rituals," Ace said.
"Oh, we definitely have ourselves a crossroad's demon here," Dean said smiling.
"Dude, why are you happy about this?" Sam asked.
"Cause, it's... Well... Ahh... Shut up, bitch."
"Alright, this is dead center. Slave, shovel," Jinx said.
All three of them stood there and stared at her. She looked up and looked back at them. She waved her hands.
"Well?" she demanded.
"Ahh, which one of us were you talking to?" Ace asked.
"Oh yeah, I now have three slaves. Dean, shovel."
"Get your own damn shovel."
"What part of slave don't you understand?"
"The part about talking orders from you."
"I-."
"I'll get the shovel," Sam said walking over to the impala. He didn't need to hear Jinx and Dean argue anymore.
Jinx and Dean smiled at each other. Ace looked from one to the other and shook her head.
"You two did that on purpose," she said.
"And your point, priss?" Dean asked.
"You two are horrible."
"But you love us anyway," Jinx said.
"Ha, you hope."
Ace rolled her eyes and cursed when her cell phone again. She walked off to answer it. Sam came back with the shovel. Dean took it and started to dig. Jinx watched him and kept her eye on Ace.
"Steven, go to hell," Ace said answering the phone.
"Ace, I just got word from the bank that you-."
"Opened up and account? Yep, did that."
"-under the name Ace Winchester."
"Well, it is my married name, might as well use it."
"Ace, I need you to come back so we can talk about this-."
"Steven, do me a favor."
"What?"
"Kiss my ass."
Ace hung up the phone. She then dropped it on the ground and proceeded to smash the living daylights out of it with her foot. That didn't seem to be doing the job very well. She walked over to Dean and took the shovel.
"I need to borrow this," she said walking back over to her phone.
Dean and Sam watched on as she smashed her phone by hitting it over and over with the shovel. They raised their eyebrows and looked very confused. Jinx meanwhile yawned. She was use to Ace destroying her cell phones; good thing the girl was a millionaire.
Ace stopped and smiled. Her cell was unrecognizable and she was sure it would never work again. She carried the shovel back to Dean and handed it to him. She wiped her hands on her skirt and smiled at them all.
"Alright, let's see who the last person to make a deal was," she said.
Dean decided not to ask. He went back to digging. Ten minutes later, he hit something. He looked at the three others.
"Yahtzee," he said.
They all crouched down as Dean wiped the dirt from a white tin box. He flipped open the lid. They all peered inside.
"Black cat bone, graveyard dirt," Ace said pulling out the jar of dirt.
"Yep, crossroad's demon," Jinx said.
"And here's the unlucky bastard who summoned him," Dean said showing the yellowed photo of a young black man.
"Okay, then we need to go talk to him. Figure out who made deals here," Sam said standing up.
"Why?"
"Why not? These people are going to be hellhound chew toys if we don't," Jinx said.
"Dude, they made the deals themselves, they knew that one day they were going to have to pay up."
"We need to get rid of the demon so that no one else makes deals," Ace said standing also.
"Fine, let's go in the bar and ask. Although, I doubt the guy is still alive and kicking."
They watched Dean walked away. Sam followed him. Jinx held Ace back. Jinx looked at her friend.
"Why is he in such a mood all of a sudden?" she asked.
"I don't know. You ask him," Ace said.
"Acey, come on. I know you like him."
"Jinxy, nothing is going to happen between me and Dean. I won't let it get that far alright? It would be awkward after and so not worth the hassle," Ace lied. She waited to see if Jinx brought it.
"Dude, do it so that he is in a better mood."
"No, you do it."
"But... Sammy would get mad."
"Then I guess Dean stays in his mood."
"You are impossible."
"I learned it from you."

Dean and Sam were waiting for them at the cars; Jinx could tell there was something going on between them at created an awkward kind of silence. Although they had never been much for words when they were talking; Jinx knew them both well enough to know.
She walked over to Dean and nudged him. He looked at her, smiling when he watched her smile. "Fine." he said as she smiled triphumately and opened the impala driver door.
Ace looked at Sam. "What's going on?" she asked as Sam looked at her, shrugging, "I don't know. They've done that since we were kids. Really bugged the shit out of me." Sam said as he watched Jinx leaned into the window, talking to Dean in a low voice.
Ace caught him staring at her ass and smacked him. "Hey."
"My girl."
"My girlfriend."
"Oh yeah. She said as Jinx pulled back, hitting the top of the impala before walking over and grabbing Ace's hand. "Come on, I called dibbs."
"And why don't I get a say?" Ace asked as she looked at her, merely smiling.
"Think you can handle it Jumbo?" Ace started laughing and couldn't stop as she walked over to the jeep.
Sams eyes narrowed as he looked at Jinx. "You promised to stop calling me that."
"I know, but its so cute to watch you turn those colors." she said with a smirk as she turned to walk away, but Sam grabbed her arm all pulled her flush to him.
"I'll make you pay for that."
"I was counting on it." she said with a glint in her eye before pulling free and hopping in her jeep.
When Sam got in the impala, he looked at Dean. "So, what was that about?"
"Nothing Sammy, nothing at all."
"You know, I still hate it when you two do that. Its just as bad as when her and Jinx talk in Arabic."
Dean thought for a moment about the parallels of it then shrugged. "So, did you and Jinx figure anything out, or were you too busy 'fighting'?"
Sam shifted uncomfortably. "Dean?"
"Yeah?"
"Its weird, you asking me about me and Jinx."
"I'm a concerned big brother."
Sam raised his eyebrows. "When have you ever been concerned about me?" "You? I'm concerned about her."
"Thanks."
"No problem." Sometimes picking on his brother was all the entertainment he needed in a day, then again, he wouldn't mind a couple more rounds with Ace in the car, in the motel, the bathroom; Dean could go on for a while with places to have his way with her.
Ace sighed as she looked down at the book, then she looked over at Sam; he looked completely engrossed in whatever he was reading. Normally Ace did not have ADD problems; that was all Jinx.
But after that morning in the impala with Dean, Ace was having a very hard time concentrating and it was all his fault. "So, why are they doing interviews again?" She asked as Sam continued to read the passage, answering without looking up at her.
"Jinx said something about Dean not taking her anywhere anymore." Ace rolled her eyes; it sounded exactly like something Jinx would say.
"But she hates getting all dressed up."
"Hey, don't ask me, I've known her forever and still don't understand her."
"I think Jinx is just one of those people we're not suppose to." she said as Sam looked up at her.
"Are you still mad at her?" he asked as she bit her lip, thinking.
"I'm mad she didn't trust me. That it was so easy for her to, leave. Are you?"
Sam looked down. "I'm trying not to be. I mean, I know she was okay, because she came back, but a part of me,"
"Doesn't know if she was with someone else?" Ace questioned as he looked her straight in the eye; he knew she was with Jett, he believed her when she said that, but he knew Ace knew nothing about her, so for Jinx's secret, here he was lying again.
He gave a short nod. Ace stood and walked over to him, patting his shoulder. "If it makes you feel any better, I've never seen her look at anyone like she does you. Not ever."
Sam smiled up at her. "Yeah, that helps."
Ace smiled widely. "Good, not lets go." she said, tugging up on his sleeve.
"Where are we going?" he asked confused as she only continued to smile.
"Jinx and Dean think they're the only ones who get to go out? I need a new phone after all." Sam let her pull him up and walked towards the door with her.
"You know if we take Lila, she's going to kill us." Ace turned and looked at him. "Sam, you're her boyfriend and she loves me more then life, and she's still kissing my ass for leaving, she's not going to be mad." Sam looked and her, but followed her out nonetheless; the end result was going to be interesting.

Jinx tried not to fidget; she hated wearing the black slacks she stole from Ace, she didn't so much mind the white button up. That was fine with here. "So, I just cant believe he's gone. You said you're from Architect Digest?"
"Yes, we wanted to do this tribute properly, and from the people who knew him best, just not his great work."
The man scoffed. "What?" Dean asked, hoping they were going to get something out of this because he hated getting dressed up with as much as Jinx did.
"Its just, ten years ago, he couldn't design a tight, let alone the, masterpieces as you said."
"Ten years ago?"
"Yeah."
Jinx looked at him, then to Dean. "What is it?"
"Its just, doesn't all great geniuses die young?"
Dean and Jinx looked at each other. "Where did he work before he became an architect?"

Dean was on his third piece of pie. "God I love you."
"I know you do, why do you think I brought you here?" she asked as she took a bite of her own.
Dean looked at her, "I know." she said with a smile.
"I always look for the places with the best pie when we come into a town."
"God, that's why I love you too." Jinx looked down at his pie, stabbing a piece with her fork.
"Hey!"
"Whose paying?"
"Herdenez?" He asked as they laughed.
"So, you and Ace?"
"You and Sam?"
"This is going to be fun." she muttered as she sipped her tea.
Dean and Jinx stared each other down. "So, you and Sammy. Isn't it weird?"
"Wasn't weird when we did it."
"Thats cause I'm awesome."
Jinx rolled her eyes. "Sure you are."
"Hey, I'm not the-" Jinx covered his mouth, raising her eyebrows.
"We talked about that."
"Yeah yeah." he said as he forked a piece of her pie.
"So, do you think Sam and Ace found out our mystery summoner?"
Dean shrugged. Jinx kicked him under the table. "Don't even. I cant be worrin about you and Ace."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"I know what your thinkin, a deal and get dad back. Don't you dare."
"I'm not, are you saying Ace was?"
"She said she wasn't, but I know the girl like the back of my hand. She was, just like you are."
"Well I'm not."
"But you are thinkin about demons and deals."
"Its our case."
"No, not like that."
Jinx watched him look down. She kicked him gently again and he looked up. They stared at each other, talking with their eyes before she nodded. "Waitress, can we get another round of pie please?" Dean smiled; Jinx always knew how to put him in a better mood.

Sam walked into what must have been the hundredth store. He carried a dozen bags for Ace and wondered when Ace was going to stop. They had gotten to the mall and Ace had gotten herself another cell phone. And then in Sam's mind, she had gone nuts.
"What do you think?" Ace asked grabbing a pair of knee high boots. They were leopard print and the heel was only half an inch thick.
"I think we should be back at the hotel looking for the guy who summoned the demon," Sam said sighing.
"And we will, when I am done shopping."
"And that will be?"
"When I'm done."
Ace grabbed a couple more pairs of heels to try on. The truth of it was this was her way of keeping her mind off of the hunt. She found herself thinking too much about the crossroads and how easy it would be to make a deal and get her dad back. Ten years with him... It would be enough. She would make sure it was enough. She shook her head and grabbed another pair of boots. She sat in a chair and smiled when Sam dropped his body next to her. He was such a good sport. He complained far less then Jinx did when Ace needed retail therapy.
"I'm sorry this is so boring for you. But... There's a bookstore around the corner. How about you go hang out here and wait for me?" Ace suggested.
"I'm good."
"Sam-."
"Jinx and Dean would probably kill me if they found out I left you alone."
"Nothing is going to happen."
"Really? Tell that to them."
"They are a bit over protective."
"A bit?" Sam laughed.
"Alright, a lot. But Dean is the same way with you."
"I know. I wish he wasn't. I can take care of myself."
Sam looked at the floor of the store. He looked up when Ace stood up and started pacing in the leopard print boots. He had to admit, they looked good. Ace turned and looked at him.
"Sam, he's your brother, he's use to worrying about you. It's... Well, it's his job as the older sibling."
"I guess you're right."
"No guessing about it. I am always right. I love these boots."
"They look good."
"Really? You know, I think I found myself a new shopping buddy. Jinx doesn't do the whole shop till you drop thing very well."
"Really? Then why did you buy her like ten things?"
"Cause... She's my girl."
"You know, I am starting to get a little jealous."
"Don't Sammy. You know you're invited anytime."
Ace winked at him and smiled when he blushed. She sat beside him and took off the boots. She was going to buy them. She then grabbed a pair of lime green heels. She was glad that for this time, she could keep her mind away from the case. She looked at Sam. He was staring at the ceiling. She would take him to the bookstore after so they could both go into geek mode and buy tons of books. He had earned it for following her around the entire mall. She smiled at him and stood up in the heels. Jinx had found herself a good guy. Ace was going to make sure her friend didn't screw it up. Jinx deserved to be happy.
