I Know What You Did Last Summer Part 1
Sam appeared to be drunk and was playing pool with a man from the bar.
"Brian, come on, man, just one more." Sam said. "Just, just give me a chance to win it back."
"It's your cash." Brian shrugged.
"Excuse me." Angela said. "Look, he's a little sauced to be making bets."
"He insisted." Brian replied.
"Yeah, but you've already taken, what, two bills off him?" Dean asked. "We're just saying."
"Hey, shut up, guys." Sam replied. "I'm fine."
"No, you're not fine." Angela replied.
"You're drunk!" Dean added.
"Let's make it five hundred." Sam said.
"Five hundred?" Angela asked, raising a brow.
"Sure." Brian nodded.
Sam put the money down on the pool table.
"Five hundred. Your break." Brian said.
While Brian was looking down, Sam raised his eyebrows at Dean and Angela. For a second there was no trace of drunkenness. Dean and Angela raised their brows at Sam. Sam broke, sinking several balls, then saw Ruby across the bar.
"Keep the money." Sam said. Sam put his cue down on the pool table and walked towards Ruby.
"Keep the money?" Dean frowned. "What—
After a moment, Dean and Angela followed Sam.
"Hey." Sam said to Ruby.
Angela clenched her jaw. "Well, you got a lot of nerve showing up anywhere near me." She said.
"I just have some info, and then I'm gone." Ruby replied.
"What is it?" Sam asked.
"I'm hearing a few whispers." Ruby replied.
"Ooh, great, demon whisperers, that's reliable." Dean said sarcastically.
"A girl named Anna Milton escaped from a locked ward yesterday." Ruby replied, ignoring Dean. "The demons seem pretty keen on finding her. Apparently, some real heavy hitters turned out for the Easter-egg hunt."
"Why? Who is she?" Sam asked.
"No idea." Ruby replied. "But, I'm thinking that she's important, 'cause the order is to capture her alive. I just figured that whatever the deal is, you might want to find this girl before the demons do."
"Look, maybe we should check it out." Sam suggested.
"Actually, we're working a case, but thanks." Angela said.
"What case?" Ruby asked.
"Uh, we've got leads, big leads." Dean said.
"Sounds dangerous." Ruby replied.
"Yeah, well, it sure ain't goose-chasing after some chick who, for all we know, doesn't even exist, just because you say she's important." Dean said.
"I'm just delivering the news." Ruby replied. "You can do whatever you want with it. Far as I'm concerned, I told you, I'm done."
"Wait, wait, wait." Sam cut in. "This hospital Anna escaped from, it got a name?"
~/~\~
Dean was driving and Sam was speaking on the phone. Angela sat in the backseat.
"Can I get a copy of the missing persons report?" Sam asked. "Okay. Thanks." Sam said before hanging up. "Well, Anna Milton's definitely real."
"Doesn't mean the case is real." Angela replied. "And this hospital's a three day drive."
"We've driven further for less, guys." Sam replied. Dean shook his head and Angela rolled her eyes. "You got something to say, say it."
"Oh, I'm saying it, this sucks." Dean replied.
"You guys aren't pissed because we're going after the girl." Sam replied. "You're pissed Ruby threw us the tip."
Angela rolled her eyes. "Yeah, well, sorry I'm not too keen on Ruby of all people."
"Right." Dean nodded. "'Cause as far as you're concerned, Sam, the hell-bitch is practically family. Yeah, boy, something major definitely happened while I was downstairs, 'cause I come back, and, and you're BFF with a demon?"
"I told you, Dean, she helped me go after Lilith."
Angela scoffed.
"Well, thanks for the thumbnail, real vivid." Dean replied. "You want to fill in a little detail?"
"Sure, Dean, let's trade stories." Sam nodded. "You first. How was Hell? Don't spare the details."
~/~\~
Six months earlier Sam was burying a box in a crossroad to summon a crossroad demon. He was drunk and a sober Angela stood next to him.
"This is a horrible idea, you know." She said. "And I can't believe I even agreed to coming here…"
"Come on!" he yelled, ignoring her. "Where the hell are you?"
"I was wondering whether to come or not." The demon said. "I mean, you shot one of my co-workers. Don't take this the wrong way, Sam, but you don't look so hot, buddy." He smirked. "Your girlfriend doesn't look all that well either. I guess burying Dean didn't agree with you two."
"Well?" Sam asked.
"Well, let's see that special little knife of yours first." The demon smirked.
Angela took out the knife and slammed it down on an outdoor table. "No devil's traps, either." She said.
"We're not here to play games." Sam added.
"Well, let me guess. You want to make a deal. And 'round and 'round the Winchesters go. I'm sorry, Sam. That's not gonna happen."
Sam stabbed the knife into the demon's hand. "I don't want ten years. I don't want one year. I don't want candy! I want to trade places with Dean."
"No."
"Just take me! It's a fair trade!"
"No!"
Angela moved to pull Sam back. "Sam, Sam, come on." She whispered. "We, we can find a different way to bring him back. Come on, let's, let's call Bobby." She suggested.
Sam shrugged her off. "Why not?" Sam asked. "Lilith wants me dead. Just let Dean go, and she can have me."
"Don't you understand, Sam?" the demon asked. "It's not about your soul. Dean's in Hell, right where we want him. We've got everything exactly the way we want it. You want to kill me? Go ahead. I've made peace with my lord."
~/~\~
Sam, Dean and Angela were at the hospital in the present.
"Of course I want to help however I can." The psychologist said.
"Now, the orderly has no recollection of Anna's escape?" Angela asked.
"Apparently, she knocked him unconscious." The psychologist said. "The blow caused some amnesia. He doesn't even remember coming into her room."
"That's a hell of a right hook to knock out a guy that's got 80 pounds on her." Dean replied.
"We think she may have planned this, waited behind the door."
"Right." Sam nodded. "Uh, you mentioned Anna's illness was recent."
"Two months ago, she was happy, well-adjusted, journalism major, lots of friends, bright future."
"So, what happened, she just… flipped?" Dean asked.
"Well, that's the tragedy of schizophrenia. Within weeks, Anna was overtaken by delusions."
"What kind of delusions?" Angela asked.
"She thought demons were everywhere." The psychologist handed a sketch book to Angela.
"Interesting." Dean nodded.
"It's not uncommon for our patients to believe that monsters are real."
"Well, that, that's just batty." Dean replied.
Angela turned the pages and they saw some meaningful sketches and the text 'Raising of the Witnesses' and in the next page 'Samhain the next seal is broken'.
"That's Revelations." Dean commented.
"Since when does the Book of Revelations have jack-o'-lanterns?" the psychologist asked.
"It's a, uh, it's a little-known translation." Dean replied.
"Well, Anna's father was a church deacon. When she became ill, her paranoia took on religious overtones. She was convinced the devil was about to rise up and end the world. I hope you find her. It's dangerous for her to be out there alone right now."
~/~\~
Dean knocked on the front door.
"Maybe they're not home." Dean said.
"Both cars in the driveway." Sam replied.
Dean tried the door. It was unlocked and they entered the house.
~/~\~
"Mr. and Mrs. Milton?" Angela called.
"We're from the Sheriff's department." Sam said. "We just wanted to ask you a couple of questions."
There were two dead bodies lying on the floor. Their throats had been cut.
~/~\~
Sam checked some powder on the floor near the dead bodies. "Sulfur. The demons beat us here. Whatever the deal is with this Anna girl—
"Yeah, they want her. They're not screwing around." Dean replied. "All right, so, I'm 'Girl, Interrupted,'" Dean picked up some addressed envelopes. "And I know the score of the apocalypse, just busted out of the nut-box… possibly using superpowers, by the way. Where do I go?"
Sam looked at family photographs and picked one up. "Hey, Angie, you got those sketched from Anna's notebook?"
"Yeah." Angela nodded.
"Let me see 'em." Sam replied. "Check this out." Sam picked out a drawing of a stained-glass window.
"She was drawing the window of her church." Dean said.
"Over and over." Angela murmured. "If you were religious, scared, and had demons on your ass, where would you go to feel safe?"
~/~\~
The Impala was parked in front of the church.
~/~\~
Sam, Dean and Angela entered the attic with their guns drawn.
"Dean, Angie." Sam pointed with his gun towards a person hiding. "Anna?" the put away their guns. "We're not gonna hurt you. We're here to help. My name is Sam. This is my brother, Dean, and our friend, Angela."
"Sam?" Anna asked. "Not Sam Winchester?"
"Uh, yeah." Sam replied.
"And you're Angela?" she raised a brow.
Angela nodded. "Er, yeah, that'd be me."
"And you're Dean. The Dean?"
"Well, yeah." Dean smiled a bit. "The Dean, I guess."
"It's really you. Oh, my god." Anna replied. "The angels talk about you. You were in Hell, but Castiel pulled you out, and some of them think you and Angela can help save us. And some of them don't like you at all." She turned to Sam. "They talk about you all the time lately. "I feel like I know you."
"So, you talk to angels?" Dean asked.
"Oh, no. No, no way. Um, they probably don't even know I exist. I just kind of… overhear them."
"You overhear them?" Angela asked.
"Yeah, they talk, and sometimes I just… hear them in my head."
"Like… right now?" Dean asked.
"Not right this second, but a lot. And I can't shut them out, there are so many of them."
"So, they lock you up with a case of the crazies when really you were just… tuning in to angel radio?" Dean raised a brow.
"Yes." Anna nodded. "Thank you."
"Anna, when did the voices start? Do you remember?" Sam asked.
"I can tell you exactly, September 18th."
"The day I got out of Hell." Dean replied.
"First words I heard, clear as a bell, 'Dean Winchester is saved.'"
"What do you think?" Dean asked.
"It's above our pay grade, man." Sam replied.
"Well, at least now we know why the demons want you so bad." Dean said. "They get a hold of you, they can hear everything the other side's cooking. You're 1-900-angel."
"Hey, um, do you know, are my parents okay?" Anna asked. "I, I didn't go home. I was afraid."
Ruby entered into the attic in a rush. "You got the girl. Good, let's go."
"Her face!" Anna screamed.
"It's okay. She's here to help." Sam said.
"Yeah, don't be so sure." Angela said.
"We have to hurry." Ruby pressed.
"Why?" Angela asked.
"Because a demon's coming, big-timer." Ruby replied. "We can fight later, Angela."
"Well, that's pretty convenient, showing up right when we find the girl with some bigwig on your tail?" Angela raised a brow.
"I didn't bring him here. Dean did."
"What?" Dean asked.
"He followed you from the girl's house. We got to go now."
"Guys." Sam pointed to a statue that was bleeding from the eyes.
"It's too late." Ruby said. "He's here."
Sam took Anna by the arms and hid her in a closet. "Okay. Stay in there. Don't move."
"Okay." Anna nodded.
Sam took out a flask of holy water.
"No, Sam, you got to pull him right away." Ruby said.
"Whoa, hold on a sec." Dean said.
"Now's not the time to bellyache about Sam going darkside." Ruby replied. "He does his thing, he exorcizes that demon, or we die."
Sam put the flask away again. The demon entered and Sam tried to exorcize him, but it didn't work.
"That tickles." Alastair said. "You don't have the juice to take me on, Sam."
Alastair threw Sam downstairs, along with Angela. Dean attacked him with Ruby's knife, but Alastair won their fight.
"Hello again, Dean."
Anna screamed as Ruby pulled her from the closet.
"Come on, Dean. Don't you recognize me? Oh, I forgot, I'm wearing a pediatrician. But we were so close… in Hell."
"Alastair." Dean growled.
Sam stabbed Alastair with Ruby's knife.
"You're gonna have to try a whole lot harder than that, son."
Sam grabbed Dean and Angela and they looked at a large stain-glass window. As Alastair pulled out the knife, the three hunters jumped through the window.
~/~\~
Sam was sewing a cut in his left arm while Dean was in the bathroom. Angela was sewing up a cut in her right arm.
"Are either of you almost done?" Dean asked.
"I'm going as fast as I can." Sam replied.
"Just give me a second." Angela said.
"Good, 'cause you know I got a dislocated shoulder over here." Dean replied. Dean picked up a whiskey bottle and drank from it.
"Yeah. I'll pop it back when I'm finished." Sam said. "Gimme that." He gestured to the bottle and poured whiskey over his wound.
"So, you lost that magic knife, huh?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, saving your ass." Sam replied. "Who the hell was that demon?"
"No one good." Dean said. "We got to find Anna."
"Ruby's got her." Sam replied. "I'm sure she's okay. All right. Come on. On three. One…"
Sam forced Dean's shoulder back into place.
"You sure about Ruby?" Angela asked. "'Cause I think it's just as likely she used us to find radio girl and then brought that demon in to kill us."
"No, she took Anna to keep her safe." Sam assured.
"Yeah." Dean said. "Well, why hasn't she called to tell us where she is?"
"Because that demon is probably watching us right now, waiting to follow us right back to Anna again. That's why he let us go."
"You call this letting us go?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, I do. Look, killing us would've been no problem to that thing. That's why, for now, we just got to lay low and wait for ruby to contact us."
"How's she gonna do that?" Dean asked. "Why do you trust her so much?"
"I told you."
"You got to do better than that. Hey, and I'm not trying to pick a fight here. I mean, I really want to understand. But I need to know more. I mean, I deserve to know more."
"Because…" Sam started. "She saved my life."
~/~\~
Six months earlier, Sam was drunk, and after he and Angela entered the room a man and a woman attacked them. The woman took Ruby's knife.
"Thanks for keeping this warm for me, Sam." The woman smiled.
"Ruby." Angela glared.
"It's nice to be back." She said. "Where I was, even for Hell, it was nasty. I guess I really pissed Lilith off. Imagine my relief when she gave me one last chance to take it topside. And all I had to do was find you two and kill you."
"Fine." Sam said. "Go ahead! Do it."
Ruby stabbed the other demon instead of Sam and Angela. "Grab your keys. We got to go. Now!"
A/N: Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed the chapter! And in the next one we find out why Angie left! I'm super excited for it, and I can't wait. Also, I'm like 10 episodes into the planning for season 5, and I'm pretty excited. There's something really interesting that happens in 'The End' and I can't wait to write it.
Also, in answer to steelcandy's review, I plan to go to season 10 once all those episodes air. When/if Angie and Sam get together, their relationship will have a few ups and downs, because I do want to stay true to the actual plot lines and everything. So, I'll be going to season 6 and beyond. :)
Don't forget to review, review, review! Love you guys.
