The next couple of days at Bobby's was quiet. Sam was searching for another case. Bobby was helping. Dani continued looking into Hope and Dean, Dean just watched Dani and contributed in any way he could. While Dean went to go pick up pizza, Dani made a break through with Hope's GPS.

"Holy shit," Dani exclaimed. "Hope's GPS is on, she's in…Iowa…?" Dani was dumbfounded. Why had Hope's GPS suddenly turned on? Maybe her phone was dead this entire time? She didn't think about that. But if her phone was on now, why didn't she call anyone?

"What's Hope doing in Iowa?" Dean question as he walked through the door holding a pizza. Dani shrugged knowing it was a rhetorical question.

"I'm pin pointing her coordinates now." Dani entered Hope's coordinates on google and wrote the address on a piece of paper. As she stood up, Sam was coming downstairs with his laptop.

"I think I found a case."

"I've got a lead on Hope, some place in Iowa." Sam tilted his head and turned the laptop towards her where an article was pulled up about brutal murders in Iowa.

"Great," Dani mumbled walking past Sam towards her room. "We'll leave first thing in the morning."

Dani went straight to her room, suddenly tired. She threw on some grey sweat pants and changed her top before packing up her things and then finally getting in to the bed. They had gotten no rest, they were up all night and she knew they were all exhausted. Dani laid in her bed staring at her ceiling. She was tired, yet every time she closed her eyes she saw it, blood, tons of blood. It started a couple of days ago, every time she went to sleep she saw Dean's hell, bits and pieces, flashes so quick and bloody it haunted her. Getting up from her bed, she walked over to Sam and Dean's room and opened the door slowly. She peaked her head in and saw that Dean's bed was empty and Sam was laying in his. Dani closed the door softly behind her and tip toed over to Sam's bed. She stood there for a second watching him. He looked so peaceful.

"Staring is creepy." Dani jumped back.

"Dammit Sam," she laughed.

"What are you waiting for?" Sam whispered as he pulled back the covers. Dani smiled and joined him. She curled into his side and Sam wrapped his arms around her.

"Thanks," Dani mumbled and Sam kissed her head. The next morning, Dani woke up before the boys. She managed to get about four hours before the nightmares took over. Sam laid next to her on his stomach facing away from her, yet one of his hands held on lightly to her forearm. She smiled and with her available arm reached over to grab her phone from the night stand. She typed in the address of Hope's coordinates in to google and waited for the results. She would have to keep checking the coordinates to make sure she hasn't left the town.

"Honey Wagon?" she whispered in confusion and then clicks on the link. Lord, was that a mistake. Naked girls suddenly filled her phone and when she tried to click on something else on the site her phone froze. Fucking porn sites, she thought as she started at the screen waiting for it to unfreeze.

"Are you looking at porn?" She looked over at Sam who was now turned in her direction. "I knew you and my brother were more alike than I thought." Dani smirked at him and then turned back to her phone.

"I think Hope is at a strip club, that's what the coordinates led me to. I'll keep tracking her as we drive to Iowa but the coordinates that I wrote down earlier points to this place, a strip club."

"Strip club?" Dean perked in. Sam and Dani looked toward Dean's bed and laughed. Of course he would wake up at the word strip club.

"You think she's working the case?" Sam asked.

"Why would she work a case alone?" Dani questioned. She felt Sam release her forearm and she suddenly missed his touch. God, she was dying for him to kiss her again. Dani glanced at the clock next to her, it was only 8 they would be leaving in an hour. She put her phone down on the night stand and turned over to Sam. Ignoring Dean's comment, she cuddled in to Sam's side and he embraced her.

She heard Dean make a gagging noise and turn to lay on to his belly. Dani traced circles on Sam's chest as they laid there quietly. His warmness filled her and he made her feel calm, like she could forget everything. She couldn't remember ever feeling this way. She took a deep breath and inhaled his scent.

"What are you thinking about?" Sam whispered. Dani thought about his question for a moment. She was thinking about a lot of things, Hope, her sanity, Sam, and a couple of other minor problems in her life.

"Why we never worked out, why you left me in the first place..." she looked up at Sam and neither of them said anything, instead Sam leaned down and kissed her lips, which Dani returned hungrily. She turned her body so she lift her head to kiss him better. Sam held her close not wanting to let her go and then she fell asleep on his chest until her phone alarm went off alerting them that it was 9.

Sam packed up the car while Dani fixed her hair in the bathroom. The hunters pilled in to the car and were on their way towards Iowa. Dani convinced Sam to sit in the back seat with her which really didn't take much convincing. They fell back into their routine as if nothing ever happened. Dean smirked at the two of them and Dani ignored him and any comments he made throughout the drive. She truly just needed comfort, that's all she wanted right now. Dani was cuddled in to Sam's side with her legs across his lap playing a game on her phone until she finally fell asleep.

"Do you think she's really okay? She's been surprisingly calm about everything." Dean asked looking at Sam in the rear view mirror.

"You know Dani, we won't really know until shit hits the fan. But honestly I think she's doing fine." Sam replied. Dean nodded and continued driving. When Dani woke up Dean was pulling in to a diner and thank God because she was starving. They headed in ordered their food and ate before heading back on to the road.

Five hours later, Dean parked across the street from the Honey Wagon. The place was well-lit and it looked pretty busy. The parking lot was full and there were people still out and about in the small town. Dani debated whether or not she should sit this one out, but decided that she would go on in, she could use a couple of drinks and she could keep an eye on Sam. The group walked in to the place. Dean went straight towards the stage area while Sam and Dani went to the bar. Dani ordered a couple of tequila shots while Sam ordered a beer. They sat at the bar scooping out the place looking out for Hope. A couple of hours passed and no sign of Hope anywhere. Sam was on his third beer and Dani had about 6 shots of tequila and was on her second Margarita. She was feeling pretty buzzed and feeling great.

"You know there are private rooms… maybe she's in one of those?" Sam stated and Dani nodded. "Are you listening to me?" Dani nodded again. Sam smiled and shook his head.

"I have to go pee." Dani said hopping off the stool. Sam watched her walk towards the bathroom and when he couldn't see the top of her brunette hair he got up to follow her. When Dani was done using the bathroom, she walked out of the women's bathroom only to be pulled in to the men's bathroom. She felt the cold door behind her back and then hungry lips against hers. She smiled and moaned in to Sam's mouth.

"Didn't your brother ever teach you not to take advantage of helpless drunk girls?" Dani asked catching her breath. He laughed.

"Are you kidding me? This is exactly what he would do!" Dani laughed and nodded in agreement. Dani smiled and leaned up to kiss him again, her arms wrapped around his shoulders pulling him closer. One of her hands pushed in to the back of his hair and gripped it lightly. Dani pulled away with a laugh when his hand started travelling up under her shirt tickling her skin. She gave him another quick kiss to his lips.

"Remember that night after Nick and I broke up and we all got drunk and went to the tattoo parlor."

"And how after that we made out for the first time for hours and you stayed with me that night."

"You were a very good kisser then, but your skills have definitely improved," she chucked. "You've always been my best friend, you were there for me even after I was a jerk to you, and you were always the one I wanted to be with. You erased every kiss, every touch and every memory of that jerk. I don't think I ever thanked you for that, so thank you." Dani explained caressing his cheek. Okay, she was a little more drunk than she cared to admit. "But then you broke my heart," she wanted to add, but didn't want to ruin the moment. Sam smiled and leaned down to kiss her.

"I always saw you as more than a friend, it just took you a lot longer to realize it than I did."

"Sorry," Dani smiled sheepishly and pulled him to her to meet his lips in another hungry kiss. Sam swallowed her moans and then pulled away, he rubbed his nose against hers with his eyes closed catching his breath. "Come on let's go find Dean and get out of here, it doesn't look like Hope is here." Dani frowned, partially because she didn't want to stop touching him and also because they hadn't found Hope. They walked out of the bathroom and went off to look for Dean, they found him near the stage nursing a beer. Once back at the room, Dani searched for Hope's GPS and found it was currently in the same location.

"This doesn't make any sense!" Dani shouted dropping her phone on the night stand. She winced knowing that the phone could have been easily broken. She looked over at the boys who were watching her with a raised eyebrow. She rolled her eyes and walked over to her duffel bag. Facing the wall she removed her dirty shirt and grabbed one of Sam's and removed her jeans and stayed in her underwear. She walked over to the bed and crawled in without another word. Alcohol always made her sleepy, so right now she just wanted to sleep and shut out the world till the morning.

The next morning Dean wakes up and hears someone in the bathroom. He looks over at Sam and Dani's bed and notices that Dani is still in bed, but Sam is not. He turns to the bathroom and tries to listen closely but he can't make out anything from the other side of the door. Dean heard the long sigh and then a hand on the door, he quickly fell back on to the bed and closed his eyes pretending to be asleep. Sam stood in the bathroom talking to Ruby. He wanted to end it with her, but he knew if he wanted to kill Lilith he couldn't. He didn't want to hurt Dani, especially since he just got her back in his life or his brother, but it needed to be done.

When he was done with his conversation he sighed and took a second to compose himself before reaching for the door to exit the bathroom. He looked over and saw that both his brother and Dani were still sleeping. It was pretty early, only 6, he would give them another hour or so before waking them up. Walking over to the small table, he sat down and opened up his laptop. He came across murder another murder in the town, another husband who murdered his wives. That was 3 now. He wrote down any important information and then closed his laptop. He decided to go get breakfast, something simple, sandwiches and coffee and wake up the sleeping hunters when he returned.

When Sam returned he found Dani still in bed and Dean changing from a fresh shower. Sam informs Dean about what he found and they sit down to get more details. Dean calls the county to find out where the husbands were being held. Dean grabbed his sandwich and began eating while Sam walked over to the bed to wake up Dani. Sam couldn't help but laugh when Dani opened her eyes and glared at him. Her eyeliner had smudged and her hair was a mess. She didn't say anything she just got up and went straight to the bathroom to get ready.

Dean decided that he and Dani would go to the sheriff's department to interview one of the husbands and they would drop off Sam at the hospital. The husband currently in custody was Adam. He explained his story to Dean and Dani, telling them that he loved his wife and he had no idea why he killed his wife. He began sobbing and explaining that they were happy and that he loved her. Dani decided to use her gift and read his mind, and there was nothing but confusion and guilt. He was telling the truth.

Dani let Dean finish the interview and went outside to speak to an officer. She asked if there was a computer she could use. She got on the computer and began looking up information on the three different husbands and their backgrounds. She began to look for any connections and the only thing she found was that their credit card statements suggested they all went to a strip club the night they murdered their wives, the same strip club that led her to Hope.

Hope had to be working this case. She began to look through the police surveillance files from the past two days and quickly scanned through them. She found one with Hope, time stamped to two days ago. She came in to interview one of the husbands, but not Adam. Dani's head was spinning, she wondered why Hope would work a case without any of them. Why didn't Hope call her and at least let her know she was alive?

She forwarded the information and surveillance videos that she found to her laptop and then deleted the information and history. Standing up, she saw Dean making his way to her. They walked out of the station and headed towards the hospital to pick up Sam. They exchanged information and Dani told them about the information she found on the sheriff's database and Dean told them about the stripper Adam was with, Jasmine. They stopped at a fast food place and then headed back to the room. Sam went through the files and information Dani forwarded to her laptop. Dean sat in front of him devouring his burger and fries.

"You know I've been thinking, maybe you should go undercover and check out the back stage and see if Hope has been back there," Dean said.

"You've been thinking huh? That's never good… And I don't feel like walking around half naked in front of a bunch of strangers, so I'm not doing it."

"Maybe they need a bartender or waitress," Sam chimed in. Dani raised an eyebrow and then nodded in agreement.

"Fine, I'll go check it out." Dani walked over to her duffel and changed her top to a tight black tank top that showed a good amount of cleavage and midriff, threw on her black jacket and put on the only pair of pumps that she owned, that weren't that high thank god. Dean tossed her the keys and she was on her way, well not without being threatened by Dean about damaging his baby. She rolled her eyes and left the room leaving Sam and Dean to their own thoughts.

"Alright let's get this over with," Dani said as she parked across the street from the strip joint. She shook out her hair from her pony tails allowing her long curled locks to flow over her shoulders. She didn't know how she was going to pull this off but if she could get on the inside then she might be able to ask more questions and find out more from the workers. She honestly hoped she didn't have to go on stage, she just wanted to get in the back and ask some questions and be done with it.

Dani entered the club with nervous flowing off of her. She headed straight to the bar to speak to a manager. The manager was an older not totally horrible looking gentlemen who didn't object to any new employees, especially any hot ones. He took her to the back to his office and they began talking, then he sat next to her and put his hand on her thigh and began feeling her up. Dani tried not to act disgusted, but internally she wanted to throw up.

"You can start tonight, I'm short a waitress," he told her caressing her thigh. She smiled nervously up at him and nodded.

"Sounds great, I guess I'll head home to change and come right back…?"

"Not so fast baby girl," he whispered and leaned down to kiss her. His hand ran all the way up her thigh and between her legs and very close to her private lady bits. Dani jumped back and squeezed her legs closed. Suddenly the door opened and Dani almost cried in relief.

"Jeff, we need you out here, we have a problem," a girl wearing a super mini skirt informed him. He looked down at Dani and smiled before getting up and walking towards the door.

"I'll see you tonight, your shift starts at 8," he threw over his shoulder and exited the room. Dani took a second to compose herself and shake off the disgust. She stood and quickly exited the club goose bumps crawling over her skin. She drove back to the room and quickly ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth.

"Got the job, I start at 8," Dani announced exiting the bathroom. The next couple of hours flew by Sam and Dean continued doing research, Dean phoned Bobby at one point. Dani had been in the bathroom for almost 30 minutes fixing her hair and makeup. When she walked out it was almost like a different girl. She managed a perfect natural smokey eye with a winged cat eye to complete the look. The boys looked up at her when she walked out, dressed in black boy shorts and a tight t-shirt. She wasn't embarrassed to be half naked around the boys, they were like her brothers, with the exception of Sam and having slept with him in the past. It was being half naked around strangers that made her freak out.

She pulled off her shirt and threw on a strapless little black dress that she wore with a blazer and tights when she was undercover. The dress was long enough that it covered the stab wound, but if it rose too much it would expose the bandage. She put on the same pumps from earlier and was done. She was going to freeze her ass off. The boys dropped her off in front of the club then drove around the block a couple of times before heading in after her.

Dani found the owner and he showed her around and explained to her the basics. Dani waitressed for a while in high school so she was familiar with it. She was familiar with alcohols although she's never bartend but she knew how to make drinks and such. The place was pretty slow, it was a Thursday after all, however people continued entering every couple of minutes. Once she was pretty familiar with everything, the owner left her to start waitressing. She could feel his eyes on her practically undressing her with his eyes. She didn't have to read his mind to know what he was thinking.

She took a couple of orders and when she had a chance went to the back to the dressing rooms to begin questioning the other girls. She was also keeping an eye out for Hope. Many of the men were drinking and were really grabby, she had gotten her ass grabbed or spanked at least a dozen times. One guy felt up her leg as he took his order and although she was getting great tips she was pissed.

Dean and Sam sat at the bar looking around for Hope or any suspicious characters who could be the succubus, because that's what they narrowed down what they were hunting. The place was suddenly crowded, mostly with men but there were a couple of woman around, not including the strippers who were swarming the place along with the waitresses. There were two bartenders and one of them was a man, but other than that every things seemed normal. Dean turned to Sam and saw him scanning the club, he guessed looking for Dani.

"How are you feeling seeing your girlfriend half naked and being felt up by horny men?"

"She's not my girlfriend Dean." Sam told him and continued to look around. His eyes widened when spotted the short brunette. She wore tiny black under wear and a sexy black wired bra. She was in the corner dancing on a private mini stage for a small group of guys. Dean looked at his brother's transfixed face and followed his gaze to see Hope on the other end. She looked exactly the same as she did the last time he saw her except her hair was longer and she was thinner. His eyes widened and he turned back to Sam and nudged him.

"Dude that's my girl, you have your own," Dean said and got up to walk towards her direction. He stopped when he saw Hope get on a man's lap and start grinding on his lap. The man was smiling and then he watched him reach up to touch the necklace around Hope's neck. His pointer finger trailed down her breast as he held on to the necklace. Dean felt his blood begin to boil, first off another man was touching his girl and secondly he was touching his necklace. He was across the room in seconds yanking Hope off the man, leaving Hope stunned. She looked up in to his green eyes in shock.

"Dean?"

"Hey sweetheart. How about a dance?" Then the man Hope was dancing on got up to protest.

"I suggest you sit down before I make you sit down," Dean suggested using his tough authorial voice sending shivers down Hope's spine. She loved that voice, it instantly turned her on. Hope bit her lip with a smirk and took his hand to lead him towards a private room. The first thing she did was hug him and then she pulled him down to meet his lips. They could talk later, right now she was going to give him the lap dance of a life time. Hope closed the door behind them and pushed Dean down on to the couch.

She was only wearing a black thong underwear with a matching black bra and some red stilettos. Hope slowly walked towards him a smirk playing on her lips. She leaned down a bit to give him a full view of her full breasts before slowly straddling his lap. Dean couldn't keep his eyes off her. He wanted to touch every part of her, but instead kept his hands by his sides so that she could do all the work. He missed her so much and right now seeing her brought back all the memories of their childhood, all the memories they shared.

Hope began to rotate her hip on him and she could feel him hardening beneath his jeans. She brought her hands to his chest and raked her fingernails down his torso. Dean couldn't take it anymore, his hands slowly slid up her thighs. He squeezed her thighs as she pushed down harder on him. Hope looked up in to his eyes and with a smile she slowly leaned in to kiss him. Her lips barely touched his but she could feel his breath hot on her lips. Dean let out a soft groan and leaned in to connect their lips. Dean wrapped one hand around her breast and the other behind her neck to pull her in as much as he could

"God I want you so much, but not in here. I want you all to myself for hours," Dean whispered capturing her lips once again. Dean was in heaven right now, he wanted her so much, but not here. He wanted to take her back to a motel room and not leave for a couple of days. He missed her, God has he missed her. She was all he ever thought about when he got back. Truth be told he thought he'd never see her again. It's been months since he'd last seen her, and that was before his death.

Dani was in the back room with a couple of other girls who were either fixing their makeup or smoking. She sat in front of a mirror taking to another stripper who was giving her makeup tips. They began talking and then another girl came over and sat next to them.

"So is there a Jasmine working here?"

"Name doesn't sound familiar," one of the girls replied in a strong accent that she couldn't place. She asked them a couple more questions before thanking her and going around to other strippers. She thought maybe she should talk to the owner, but she didn't want to be alone with him. After speaking to another girl, who barely looked older than 18, she decided to check her phone to see if Sam texted her. Her heart skipped a beat when she read the text, Dean found her. Relief washed over her body, she didn't have to worry any more, but now she was angry because Hope never contact her. That girl was going to get it when she finally saw her. Then she read the next text which stated that he didn't know where they went.

Dani knew they probably went off to hump like bunnies, especially since it's been a while for them, so she asked one of the girls where they're private rooms were and headed in that direction. She opened the first two doors and they were empty, the third however had a man getting grinded on and groped by several strippers. She closed the door and proceeded to the next one. She heard light moans and when she tried to open the door it was locked. She banged on the door and waited for a response.

"Find another room," she heard Hope yell, but Dani was angry, she so annoyed.

"You better find your own ride back, Sam and I are leaving!" She yelled over the music. She pulled out her cell phone and texted Dean that they were leaving in case they didn't hear her and went to go find Sam. He was at the bar again, the safest place in a strip club, holding a drink in his hand. His eyes locked with hers almost immediately and he knew she was upset. She walked up to the bar, next to Sam and ordered 4 shots of tequila. Without the salt and lime she drank them down one after the other.

"Alright let's head out, they can find a way back themselves. I'm pretty sure Hope has a car or something. I want to get out of here," Dani explained. Sam took off his jacket and put it over Dani's shoulder since she was shivering. Dani smiled up at him and held the jacket close to her. They got in to the impala and drove back to the motel room. Dani rushed straight in to the shower and when she came out in shorts and a white T, Sam was already laid out on the bed in a black t-shirt and sweat pants. Dean and Hope nowhere in sight. She sighed and got in to bed with Sam ready for this night to be over. But she didn't fall asleep, instead she leaned against the head board and watched TV. When her eyes started drifting close, her phone began to ring and it shook her awake. She picked it up and it was Dean on the other end.

"She's gone again."

"Goddammit!" Dani exclaimed getting up from the bed. "What do you mean she's gone?" Dani yelled waking Sam up. "She was with you, how could you let her disappear again?" Dani hung up and walked over to the door to kick it. Closing her eyes, she leaned her head on the wall. Rough hands came around her and just hugged her. The walk from the club back to the motel was about 15 minutes. Dean debated taking a cab but decided he wanted to avoid Dani and let her cool off. He was pissed at himself for letting her get away again. Everything was going perfect.

They were going to head back to the motel, but he had to use the bathroom. When he returned, Hope was nowhere to be found. He spent half an hour looking for her and it was like they started from the beginning again. Dani began shouting at him as soon as he walked through the door. Sam held on to her and shot his brother and sympathetic look. Dean knew that she didn't mean any of it, that she was just upset. He was actually relieved she was yelling at him because that meant she wasn't keeping it bottled in. When Dani was done yelling, all Dean could do was apologize. She rolled her eyes and walked over to the table to grab her phone. She looked up Hope's coordinates and it was in the same location it had been hours before.

"Her coordinates are still the same."

"I checked the entire place and she wasn't there," Dean replied.

"Were going back," Dani said and didn't bother to change back. When they got back to the club it had emptied out a bit. It was nearing 3 and they closed at 4 so it was to be expected. Dani went straight to the back to the changing rooms and picked up her phone and dialed Hope. In the distance, over the music she could make out a ringing. The chorus to "Pour some sugar on me" could be heard in the distance, she followed the noise and found Hope's phone laying on one of the dressing room vanities. She picked up and laughed before tossing it against the wall and shattering it. She walked out of the back stage and found Sam and Dean.

"She's not here, let's go," Dani announced and in silence they all got in to the car and Dean drove them back to the room. Dani went straight to bed without a word to anyone. She just wanted this day to be over, because she knew clearly their problems were just beginning. This wasn't a normal, Hope didn't do this. Now they had to finish the case and figure out how to track Hope again.
