A/N: hey there, hi there, ho there, lovely readers ^.^It's me finally!
Sorry it took me so long to update! I had my wisdom teeth out on the 12th which wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it's be… and then I had a party for my grandma the very next day! (Not a fun party!) and for the last week I've been preparing for school which starts on Wednesday the 24th! Three solid days of leaving the house at 11 in the morning and coming back around sunset… and I don't really like shopping… but it's almost over now… all that's left is Wal-Mart and Payless…
So… as I said: School starts in 3 days I'm going to be a senior!… I don't know how much time I'll have to write… but I promise to try to update… Maybe I'll put of actual homework for more fun fanfic creation ^.^

The Man Who Knew too Much
Chapter 7 Hunted
He hit the redial button desperately for the fourth or fifth time. He held the phone to his ear when the phone in his hand went to voicemail. He cursed and pulled the phone away from his head. He heard the knife fall to the ground as he used his other hand to steady the shaking phone "Why won't you answer?" He asked the phone in a whisper, hitting the redial button.
"What happened?" Sam asked, stepping closer to him after he dropped the knife.
"The phone must have died… that's it… it must have lost all the battery while she was talking to me… that must be it…" Cas whispered, pressing the redial button again.
He looked up as Sam and Dean locked eyes for a moment before Sam slowly walked over to him while Dean moved over to the other side of the fenced area, pulling out his phone, dialing a number and talking quietly into the phone. After a moment Sam gently pulled the phone out of Cas' hands as Dean walked over to them with a grim look in his eyes. "Sam… I need to talk to you," He said, he looked at Cas for half a second before looking at his brother.
He started to walk away when Cas grabbed his arm, "Anything about Crystal can be told to me." Cas said in a firm, stubborn voice.
He glared at him for a moment before Dean sighed and said, "Bobby said Crystal's not at the hotel." Cas suddenly felt cold inside. "He found fresh blood on the parking lot and sulfur."
"What does sulfur have to do with anything?" Cas snapped at him, looking between Sam and Dean who didn't answer. "Answer me!" He nearly yelled, taking a step back.
"Sulfur means demons," Sam said after a moment.
"Demons?" Cas asked him.
Sam nodded and said, "That's why we're here…"
"Because of the demons?" Cas asked, interrupting whatever Sam was about to say.
He nodded and continued, "The demons are after you because of what you used to be…" He looked at Dean then back at Cas and said, "You used to be an angel… but you fell and became human… we came from the year 2011 to get you, take you back to the past before the demons get you and torture you for the angelic knowledge you have hidden in your brain."
Cas stood silently for the moment, something in the back of his mind knew that Sam wasn't lying… but what he was saying couldn't possibly be true… "I think you need your head examined." He took another step back and his back brushed the fence… now he just needed to slip through the hole…
"If you run now, how will you find your friend?" Dean asked suddenly. Cas froze and Dean continued, "You'll never see her again and the demon might kill her if you run now."
Cas thought for a moment, he was right… he had no idea where their hotel was so it's not like he could call the police and tell them anything besides somewhere in a New York City hotel parking lot there was the blood of his friend… He had no choice… "What do you want?" He asked slowly.
"Come with us back to the hotel and we'll find Crystal." Dean said quietly.
Cas slowly took a small step away from the fence. "Swear you'll help me find her?" he asked looking between the brothers.
Dean glanced at Sam for a moment before he said, "I swear to help find your friend."
Sam threw his jacket onto one of the beds and talked with Dean and Bobby one the other side of the room as Cas sat on the bed by the window. He looked out at the dark sky and wondered again if Crystal was ok… she must be so scared… why had she even come to New York? Cas thought to himself… why did Sam and Dean let her come to New York… She wasn't safe…
Cas heard a rustling noise behind him and felt a strange breeze rustle his hair. He looked over his shoulder and saw the woman with blood red hair from his dreams standing behind him. He slowly stood up as she smiled and held out her hand. He looked down at a glowing vial she offered him; he tentatively reached out and took the vial from her.
The second the warm glass and metal touched his skin the shiny, silvery stuff inside glowed bright blue and flowed like moving water.
"What is it?" Cas asked her quietly, looking between the woman and the vial in his hand…
"Your grace." She stated simply, walking back over to the boys still talking on the other side of the room. He watched the swirling silver light move around the glass vial for a few moments before he heard a buzzing noise coming from Sam's jacket.
He looked over to the group talking by the door; he quietly reached over and pulled the phone out of Sam's jacket. He glanced at the caller ID and his heart leapt at the sight of Crystal's number. He quietly pulled open the phone and held it to his ear, "Hello? Crystal? Are you there?" Cas asked quickly.
"Not even close, Clarence." A familiar voice said laughing. "She's a little tied up right now."
"What did you do to her?" Cas asked coldly. Sam, Dean, Bobby, and Anna stopped talking and walked over to him, but Cas didn't acknowledge them.
A cold laugh came through the phone, "Nothing… yet…" She said.
"I swear if you hurt her-" Cas started before the phone was taken from his hand. He looked up angrily as Dean shushed him. He held the phone to his ear and said, "Who is this?" he paused, looked at Sam and said, "Meg?"
Cas could hear the voice of the woman over the phone… "There's an old meat packing plant by the ocean… Tell Angel Boy that if he's not here by sunrise his little girlfriend dies."
