I do not, have not, and will not own Supernatural. Ever.

The decomposed skeletons grinned up from the pit the brothers had dug.

Dean shook his head. "Monsters I get, Sammy. Humans not so much." He coughed harshly into his elbow and leaned heavily against the dingy basement wall.

"So much for the innocent churchgoing librarian."

"Yeah, well, whatever spoke to Gloria about this knew what it was talking about. I'll give you that."

"It had to be a pretty good thing to know about this. This was buried deep."

"Still not saying it was an angel. Maybe a sadistic demon who made him do it suddenly deciding to come clean."

"So you're saying a demon going good is more likely than an angel?" Sam rolled his eyes and started shoveling dirt back into the hole.

Dean sighed and pushed off the wall, ignoring the question. A brief dizzy spell blurred his vision, but Sam didn't notice and he didn't mention it. "Okay, so we fill in this hole, make an anonymous tip to the cops, and head over to the church."

"Sure summoning a crossroads demon isn't a more logical step?"

"Hey, cut the attitude." Dean paused to shoot his brother a look.

"Let's just get this done. Then we can discuss your demon theory."

Dean rolled his eyes but didn't feel like fighting. The conversation was sure to come up again later.

The pit slowly filled back in and the brothers packed down the dirt enough to make it look not just dug up. Dean was slightly out of breath by the end, an annoyance he tried to ignore. "You wanna make the call?" he asked as they made their way out of the storm cellar.

Sam nodded and pulled out one of their disposable cell phones.

Dean packed the shovels back into the car while Sam talked to the police hotline. A sudden nausea spell hit him, and he closed his eyes and hung his head to try and will it away. Physical activities used to have to be a lot more vigorous before he'd feel even a little piqued. He hated it.

"Okay, cops are on their way." Sam moved toward the Impala and Dean slammed the trunk.

I'll get the next chapter up soon. Hopefully.
