CHAPTER 13

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Leigh walked out of the living room and opened the door. Sam and Dean were there still in their suits. She had to admit that they cleaned up good. She'd only seen them in flannel and jeans before but the whole black tie thing looked good on them.

"Come on in." she said with a wave of her hand.

"What do you live here now?" Dean said sarcastically.

"Actually, yes." She replied with a tinge of sadness edging on her voice. Sam seemed to notice this.

"Whatever, is Paige here?" Dean asked.

"Yeah everyone's in the foyer, they have more news." Leigh said and Dean walked in.

"Hey, are you alright?" Sam asked "you seemed kinda sad when Dean asked if you were living here."

"I'll be fine." She tried to back up her words by giving him a small smile but he wasn't convinced, she sighed and added "I'll tell you about it later."

"Okay," he said knowing that he wouldn't get anything out of her if he kept pushing.

"We should go inside." She said. Sam nodded and they walked to the foyer. When they stepped in, Leigh noticed Coop's ring flash a pale pink colour before he and Phoebe shared a mischievous look.

"Have you guys read todays newspaper?" Paige asked the hunters.

"No, why?" Dean asked. Paige threw him the paper and he skimmed it quickly, but the heading pretty much said it all "fuck." He said exasperatedly.

"Yeah," Phoebe agreed as Dean passed the paper to Sam "we've faced demons, but this is really savage."

"Well, we know that it's not a ghost or demonic possession. There was no sulphur and no EMF." Sam stated.

"EMF?" Leigh asked.

"Electromotive force." Sam explained "The rate that energy is taken out of a source that creates a flow of electricity in a circuit."

"Oh." Leigh said. She would've said something that consisted of more than one syllable but she had a weird feeling. It felt like her brain was tingling. Not all of it, just at the back, she couldn't really explain it but it felt odd.

"What does it do?" Phoebe said, noticing the questioning gaze Sam was sending Leigh's way.

"When there's been a ghost around there's EMF left there; with a demon, its sulphur. There was neither." Dean said.

"So it's something else." Phoebe stated as if it were obvious.

"Or," Coop said "it's nothing. Maybe it was just some weird cannibalistic act and a murder double suicide, like the papers say."

"Come on Coop, you of all people can't seriously believe that." Phoebe said.

"Why not him 'of all people'?" Sam asked.

"He's a cupid." She answered with a shrug, ignoring the stunned looks on the hunters' faces.

"Cupids are real?" Dean asked, Phoebe and Coop nodded "And you're married to one?" they nodded again "That's so awesome!"

"Anyway, back on topic; these murders. Do you guys have any leads?" Sam asked.

"None so far." Paige said.

"Did you get anything from the roommate?" Leigh asked.

"Well, we know that the female victim was a virgin and that it was her first date in months." Sam said flatly.

"Well, that could be useful, sort of." Coop said.

"What about the coroner?" she asked hopefully.

"Nothing of much help, just that their eyes were way too big for their stomachs but that didn't stop 'em from chomping away." Dean quipped.

"Ew." Paige said making a face which resulted in a cocky smirk from Dean.

"Weak stomach princess?" he said smugly.

"I just don't get off on dead bodies." She responded.

"What do you get off on?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Okay, okay enough with the sexual tension!" Phoebe said throwing her hands in the air. Paige glared at her sister and Dean looked even more proud, if that was even possible.

"Whatever, we have to get ready." Paige said.

"For what?" Sam asked.

"Valentine's Day at P3." Leigh shrugged.

"What's P3?" Dean asked.

"Piper's club, we promised we'd be there." Phoebe said.

"Piper owns a club? Sick." Dean said looking impressed.

"Yeah, now we have to get ready." Leigh said.

"How much is admission?" Dean asked. He didn't want to pass up the offer of going to a club where Paige was going to be. He didn't know if Sammy was right, but he knew Paige was hot so he may as well have some fun while he's here.

"You thinking of showing?" she asked casually but with a sultry smirk.

"Thinking of it." He replied, returning the grin.

"We'll get Piper to put your name on the list just stop with the sexual innuendo!" Phoebe said quickly earning a laugh from Coop.

"What about you Sam?" Leigh asked, trying to hide her hopefulness but her voice betrayed her.

"Sure." He said smiling at her and ignoring the rest of the room.
