Rocky Road
I walked with Fin back towards Dean's car and we caught up on old times. "I take it you've been hunting."
"That's what I do."
"What happened to that steady job that guy promised you."
"Long gone, along with said guy."
"What happened to him?"
"His wife."
"Ouch." Fin glanced at me and laughed.
"What about you? Any men in your life?"
"Just the Winchesters." Fin stopped in her tracks and I didn't realize it until I was a good ten feet away. "What?" I walked back to her and she had a confused look on her face.
"The Winchesters? Two boys plus a father? Their mother was in an accident?"
"How did you know that?"
"Friend of theirs is a friend of mine. How did you get mixed up with those two?"
"They aren't hoods, Fin. They're hunters, that's how I got mixed up with them. Met their father a while back and gave him my word that I'd protect his boys."
"Do any of them know about?" I looked at Fin and back at the ground.
"Sam figured it out and their father knows. I'm worried about Dean's reaction though. He's a bit like you so I might get hurt because of it."
"Well, I'll hurt him back for you. No one messes with you in front of me and gets away with it." I smiled and looked up to see my car. "You still got this piece of junk?"
"Piece of junk? I don't think so. More like your ride is a piece of junk. Don't you insult my baby girl." I rubbed my hand across the trunk and propped myself up against my car.
"So where are these boys of yours?"
"Probably checking out the girl's apartment."
"There's not much there. I already checked it out."
"Nothing of import there?"
"There was nothing, really." Fin thought for a moment and pulled a paper out of her jacket pocket. "There was this blood pattern that looked a bit interesting." She handed me a sketch of what she saw and I studied it. "Recognize it?"
"Vaguely. Mom would know more than I would. Might just be demonic. Dad mentioned that this girl Sam met beforehand was dealing with this demon that wants the Winchesters dead. That might be what is messing with this city."
"It's a good call. Why not tell your boys?" I laughed and handed Fin back her paper.
"They're smart enough to figure it out on their own. They're probably done with the apartment. So what are you doing just strolling around out here?"
"Research. This happened to someone else, too." She handed me a newspaper clipping with an article about the death of some banker. "This guy was a banker, our girl was a waitress at some bar. They've never met in their lives, ever, so this is looking like a pretty obscure job to me." I looked up at Fin. "I know, never underestimate the supernatural, but this is looking out there."
"I understand your skepticism but I'm sure about this, just like Dad." I handed her paper and stood up. "I'm going to give Sam a call to see where they are." Fin just shrugged at me as she took a sip of her soda, what I guessed was Dr. Pepper; that's all the girl drank, ever. After a few rings, Sam picked up.
"Hey, Cara."
"Hey, Sam. How are you guys making out?"
"Just finished at the apartment. Dean is happy to be out of the uniforms we were wearing. We are about to head to where the girl worked."
"Where is that?"
"A bar."
"Dean will be thrilled."
"How did you know?"
"Lucky guess."
"Nice. So where have you been?"
"I ran into a couple familiar faces. Mind if I bring her along?" Fin just shook her head at me and I winked at her.
"Sure. I can't promise Dean won't hit on her, though."
"She will make sure he pays for it, if he does." Fin muttered something under her breath and started to laugh.
"Alright. I'll give you the name of the bar and we'll meet you there." Sam rattled off the name of the bar and I made a mental note of it.
"See you in a few, Sam."
"See ya." I hung up with Sam and looked up at Fin.
"Thanks for volunteering me to meet your boyfriend and his brother."
"Not my boyfriend. Besides, you need to meet people."
"I swear if you are trying to play matchmaker, I will stab you." I laughed. "It's funny how you think I'm kidding." I just laughed and went to get in my car but Fin stopped me. "You know I'm not riding with you, right?"
"I do now. You plan on following me in that pile of scrap you still have?"
"Don't insult my girl. I'm parked around the block. I'll just follow you." I nodded and watched Finley walk away, disappearing behind the corner. I hopped in my car, started it up and waited for Finley's Chevelle to appear in one of mirrors. Ten minutes later, I saw Fin's Chevelle in my mirror so I took off to the bar Sam mentioned with Fin behind me. We parked in the parking lot, shut off our cars and got out. "This guy better be worth it."
"Who?"
"This Sam or this Dean character." I rolled my eyes. "What? Can't let you have all the fun. So tell me. Either one of them worth it?"
"Both of them are, if you must know." Fin just smiled as we walked in the bar. I spotted the back of Sam's head and motioned to Fin that we were headed that way. I got to Sam but didn't spot Dean. I shrugged it off and tapped Sam on the shoulder, making him jump. "Sorry, Sam." Fin cleared her throat. "Hey, cover your mouth." Fin rolled her eyes at me and I smiled. "Sam, this is Finley Aveion. Finley, this is Sam Winchester." Fin smiled at him and I had to look away or else she'd see my smile. I knew what that smile meant with her. Sam could handle her. He does put up with Dean, after all. "Where's Dean?"
"At the bar, trying to get information from the bartender." Fin laughed.
"Like her phone number?" Sam and I looked at each and just shrugged. Sometimes it was scary how much Fin thought like Dean.
-FIN-
That's it for this chapter. Introduced two new characters, hope that wasn't too bad. A review is always appreciated and the next one will be out soon.
