The Man Who Knew Too Much

Chapter 5 Phantom Traveler

Sam and Dean were in the Impala bright and early the next morning after a few hours of sleep. Bobby had gotten his own car after complaining loudly about sitting in the backseat. The brothers had driven for hours and were almost in New York.

"Why New York?" Sam asked as the brothers sped down the empty interstate.

"I don't know…" Dean said, shaking his head. "I don't understand how his parents could be so awful… Anna had an apple pie life after she fell… I just don't understand why Cas would be any different…"

"All that matters is that we find him before the demons do," Sam said.

"What?" A voice from the backseat asked.

Sam and Dean yelled and the car jerked off the road for a moment before stopping dead, Sam grabbed the demon killing knife out of his bag and Dean pulled his gun out and twisted around to face the threat in the backseat.

Crystal jumped back and threw her hands in the air and said, "Don't shoot me!"

"What are you doing here?" Dean asked, sitting his gun back down on the seat and turning the radio off.

"I'm helping find Cas!" She said loudly, lowering her arms slowly. "Before you left I hid in the backseat and waited."

Dean turned and said, "I'm taking you home."

"But we're already almost there!" Crystal said loudly, grabbing his shoulder "If we turn back now you'll waste precious time!"

Dean hesitated for a moment. "If you go in and wave your fake badges around Cas will run and you'll never find him again! He won't run from me," Crystal said slowly.

"Fake?" Sam asked, turning around and looking at her. "What do you mean?"

"Please, 'Agent Tyler and Perry?'" she rolled her eyes. "All my parents listen to is Aerosmith!"

Dean looked at her for a moment before he turned to Sam.

"She's right Dean. We might need her," Sam said.

"What do you want with Cas?" She asked them, straightening the edge of her black tank top. "And why do you need fake badges? What do you mean 'Demons'?"

The boys looked at each other for a minute and didn't say anything. "We just want to talk to him," Sam said.

"Why? What's important that you have to track him to New York?" Crystal said. "Is he in some kinda trouble?"

Sam looked at Dean for a moment. "You wouldn't believe us if we told you." Dean said, staring at the road.

"Well it might have something to do with the 'demons' you talked about." Crystal said, leaning forward in her seat. "You don't think Cas is a demon do you? Because if you do, we're gonna have a problem, because that's what the evil parents thought and look where that got—"

"No! Cas definitely isn't a demon." Dean said with a smile on his face. "Pretty far from it…"

Crystal hesitated for a moment, "So what… you think Cas is an angel? Is that it?"

Sam and Dean looked at each other for a moment. "Yes. Well- not exactly… he was an angel… now he's as human as you and me." Sam said. "We were sent here to find him, and make sure the demons don't get him first."

Crystal looked down at the seat for a moment, trying to gather her thoughts. "So… Cas, Who I've known for my whole life, was an angel and he what… just forgot to mention it?"

"He didn't remember." Sam said, "When angels fall they don't remember their past consciously."

"Consciously?" Crystal said, leaning back against the seat back. "So… the nightmares weren't just nightmares… were they?"

Sam shook his head and looked forward. Crystal sat in silence as she watched the lights of New York City draw nearer.

Crystal pulled her backpack out from under her and stretched her legs as she got out of the car at the hotel. She picked the pieces of fuzz of her black jeans as a big red faded pickup truck pulled up beside the car and a big guy in a flannel shirt climbed out and walked over to the group. "Who's this?" He said, gesturing to Crystal.

"I'm Crystal." She held out her hand and said, "I stowed away."

He shook her hand and walked over with Dean to the hotel. She stared up at the building.

"Wow." She said, straining her neck to look all the way to the top. "This building is huge!"

Sam laughed as he closed the trunk; he walked up to her, looked up at the 16 story building and said, "Well this is small for New York. Never been to the city?"

Crystal looked down at him for a moment before looking back to the hotel. "I've never been out of Indiana before. Neither had Cas… I wonder what he must have thought about this…" She frowned and looked back at the ground. She walked forward in silence and followed Dean and Bobby to the elevator.

Crystal walked into the room after Sam and Dean. She tossed her bag onto the chair by the door and said, "So now what?" She walked over and sat on one of the huge beds and crossed her ankles.

"Now we go to the bar and you sit right there until we get back," Dean said, grabbing one of the duffel bags Sam brought in.

"What?" Crystal said, jumping up. "But you need me!"

"Crystal it's too dangerous. Just stay here and don't leave the room." Sam said as Dean put strange symbols on the wall.

Crystal stared at him for a few long moments before she turned around and sat down on the bed angrily. She crossed her arms and legs tightly and stared at the wall. Sam sighed and they both walked out of the room to Emily's Bar and Grill.
