Rocky Road
I watched Dean talk with the female officer and my patience was running thin with this whole situation. I got Dean's attention, motioned that I was going to call someone and headed outside. I walked back to my car, pulled out my cell phone and hit '2' on my speed dial. It rang twice before someone picked up. "Hey."
"Long time no hear."
"Hearing is dangerous nowadays. I need a favor, if you don't mind."
"I never mind." I smiled and checked to make sure Dean wasn't walking out of the sheriff's office.
"Can you find someone for me?"
"You don't usually lose people. They have a name?"
"Winchester." The silence on the other line was deafening.
"Which one?"
"Sam. Something or someone snatched him up in the night and I need to find him. Dean is trying with the police but,"
"Police are slow and you're scared. Give me a moment." I sat on the phone while I heard rustling, like a breeze going through a paper filled house, on the other end. "Alright. I have latitude and longitude. I'll send them to your phone."
"I really appreciate this."
"Cara?"
"Yes?"
"Be careful."
"I always am." I hung up the phone and checked my messages for the latitude and longitude. I was about to hop in my car when Dean walked out of the sheriff's office, without the female officer behind him.
"Hey. Where are you headed?"
"I've got to check something out."
"You were going to go without me?"
"Well, I don't want you chasing your tail if it turns out to be a dead end. Stay with female officer and we'll see if we meet." I went to get in my car but Dean grabbed my arm and pinned me against my car door.
"I've already lost Sam. I can't lose you, too."
"You won't lose me." Dean put his hands on either side of my face and before I could say anything, he pulled me in for a kiss. I felt myself get weak for a moment then I returned the kiss, earning a soft sigh from Dean. He gently poked his tongue against my bottom lip and I gladly granted him access. I tried to keep myself on my own two feet by using my car door handle for leverage but as the kiss progressed, that was becoming futile.
"Officer Washington!" I heard Dean groan before he pulled away to motion to the officer that he needed a minute. Dean looked back at me and brushed his thumb across my cheek.
"You call me if anything goes south. I don't care, I will find you. Okay?" I nodded and Dean gave me one more kiss before going to meet up with the female officer. I let out a deep breath and hopped in my car, starting it up to go find Sam with a little help from above. I drove to some deserted looking barn and parked in the trees. I pulled my gun out from under my glove box, tucked it in the back of my pants and stepped out of my car. I gently closed my car door and started to walk towards the barn. I slipped inside and looked around at the cages inside. I heard banging, as if something was trying to get out of the cage and I drew my gun. I rounded the corner and a person kicking at the door of a cage. I looked closer and recognized who was in the cage.
"Sam!" I put my gun down and ran to the cage, trying to see if there was a way to open it.
"Cara! How did you find me? Where's Dean?"
"Trying to find you by using the police. What happened?"
"How did you beat him here?"
"Connections."
"Where are we?"
"Countryside. In some barn." I watched Sam look across the way at some guy stirring in another cage. I went over to the cage and started talking to him. "Hello? Are you okay?"
"Do I look okay to you?"
"You're Alvin Jenkins, aren't you?" One hell of a shot in the dark, Sam.
"Yeah." Score one for the Winchester.
"Cara, can you see a way to get us out of here?"
"No, these things are wired shut and I don't have a key to these locks." I heard the door open and quickly found some place to hide. I watched as Alvin's door opened and someone slipped food in before locking the door again. Whoever put the food in Alvin's cage, quickly locked up everything and left with the person standing by the door.
"I'll be damned. They're just people."
"Worst of them all, if you ask me." I brushed the hay off my jacket and sat back down next to Sam. Alvin, however, was chowing down and felt the need to express his opinion.
"Yeah. What did you two expect?" You'd be surprised, fella.
"How often do they feed you?"
"Once a day. They use that thing over there to open the cage." I got up and checked it out but there was no way I could override it, even with a lock picking kit.
"That's the only time you see them?"
"So far. But I'm waiting."
"Waiting for what?"
-FIN-
