Family Remains Part 2

"Danny!" Susan called.

"Suse, Suse, Suse." Brian consoled. "We will find Danny, I promise you."

"No." she whimpered.

"No. Take Kate and go now. Now, while you still have a chance." Brian instructed.

"Not without Danny."

"We will find him." Brian assured.

"I am not going out there with Mom alone." Kate said.

"She's right." Dean cut in. "Until we find your son, the safest place for you right now is in the shed."

"I am not going in there either." Kate replied.

"Yes, you are." Dean said. "It is the best defense. The windows are boarded up. It's got one door. It's our best shot right now. Trust me."

"Suse. Kate. Go. Go." Brian said.

"All right, you and I will take the outside." Sam said. "You three take the house. Let's go."

~/~\~

Dean, Ted and Angela poked around the room. Ted found a butcher knife. Dean and Angela investigated the walls.

"What are you two doing?" Ted asked.

"She's human." Angela replied. "She had to come from somewhere."

Dean found a board that wasn't securely attached to the rest. They pulled it open. Ted flinched.

"You smell that?" Ted asked.

"Every day." Angela replied.

Dean took the knife and shined a flashlight around inside the walls, then went in. "Come on."

Ted came up behind Dean and Angela behind Ted. They went further in. Dean found a hole in the floor and looked through.

"You're not going down there." Ted said.

"Well, do you want to?" Angela asked.

Ted said nothing. Dean and Angela started down.

"Please nobody grab my leg." Dean pleaded. "Please nobody grab my leg."

Dean shined the light around the room. A rat corpse was inches from his face; he startled. He saw Buster, torn to shreds. Angela gagged slightly.

"Dog." Dean said. "It's what's for dinner. Danny?"

"Find anything?" Ted called.

"Yeah, her kitchen." Angela replied.

"Her what?" Ted asked.

Dean and Angela looked around more; there was artwork on the wall, two stick figures drawn in probably blood.

Ted turned around and came face to face with the girl. She stabbed him.

Dean and Angela hurried back; Ted's head came through the hole.

~/~\~

"Look, why are we just standing here?" Brian asked. "Let's go in. "Let's check the house."

"We have to wait for those guys to get back, okay?" Sam replied.

There was a knocking sound.

"Sam, it's us." Angela said.

"Help me out." Sam said.

They moved what was holding the door shut and opened the shed door. Dean and Angela came in.

"Did you get Danny?" Susan asked.

"No." Dean replied.

"No?" Susan frowned. "Well, where's Ted?"

"He's outside." Dean said.

"Well, why doesn't he come inside?"

"Because we had to carry him out. I'm sorry." Angela replied.

"You're… what does that mean?" Susan asked. "What does that mean, you're sorry?"

"Are you saying that he's dead?" Brian asked.

"No. No, she's not saying that he's dead." Susan said. "You're not saying that, are you?"

"We were in the walls and she attacked." Dean replied.

"Oh my god." Susan breathed.

"And we couldn't get to him in time." Dean added.

"Uncle Ted is dead?" Kate frowned.

"I shouldn't have left him alone." Angela whispered. "I'm very sorry."

Dean and Angela went back outside.

Sam read Rebecca's diary.

"We'll find him, Suse." Brian murmured. "We will."

"Where else is there to look?" Susan sobbed. "Danny's dead, isn't he?"

"No, Suse." Brian replied.

"He is. Why not? She killed my brother. Now she killed my son."

"No, Danny is alive." Brian assured.

"No, no, he isn't."

"Yes, he is. Do you remember what he said about the girl who lived in the walls? She said he could stay."

"No. No." Susan shook her head. "I just don't understand why this happens to us. I mean, we're good people. We're a good family."

"What happened to Andy happened, okay?" Brian replied. "I cannot change that. But I will find Danny, I promise you. And when I do, we are gonna be fine. You and me, the kids, we're gonna be fine."

"Okay." Susan nodded.

Sam, who had been pretending to read, returned to actually reading.

~/~\~

Brian stared up at the house.

"Andy your son?" Angela asked.

"Oldest. He got himself killed in a car accident last year."

"We're sorry." Dean said.

"It nearly tore Suse and me apart. Still could, I imagine." Brian replied. "That's why we moved here. Fresh air, fresh start. Not even my line. Marriage counselor. 'Course, she might be right. After all, what could possibly go wrong in the country?"

"We're getting your son back." Angela assured. "If it's the last godforsaken thing we do."

"Why do you care so much?" Brian asked.

"Dean. Angie." Sam appeared and held up Rebecca's diary. "We gotta talk."

~/~\~

"What is that?" Dean asked.

"Rebecca's diary. I just finished reading it." Sam replied.

"And?" Angela asked.

"That girl back there? Pretty sure she was Rebecca's daughter."

"Rebecca had a kid?" Dean asked.

"It's all she talks about." Sam shrugged. "Being pregnant, being ashamed of being pregnant."

"Jeez, rent Juno and get over it." Dean rolled his eyes. "Wait, why kill herself after the baby?"

"Maybe because her dad called her a dirty little whore and said he was gonna lock the baby up."

"Why would he say that?" Dean asked.

Sam said nothing.

Angela frowned. "Oh, ew! Gross!"

"Oh, gross." Dean groaned.

"Yeah." Sam nodded.

"So the daddy was the baby daddy too?" Angela asked.

"Dude was a monster, Angie." Sam replied.

"Wow, a story ripped from an Austrian headline." Dean said. "Humans, man. So she's been locked up her whole life?"

"You saw her eyes." Sam replied. "Has she ever seen light? She's barely human."

"Okay, so, what, she's been caged up like an animal and she busts out and ganks dear old Dad? Slash Granddad?" Angela asked.

"I guess." Sam shrugged.

"Well, can't say I blame her." Dean replied.

"I'm sure her life was hell, Dean." Sam said. "It doesn't mean she gets a free pass for murder."

"Like you know what hell's like." Dean scoffed.

"I didn't…"

"Forget it." Dean shook his head.

"So where do we find her?" Sam asked.

"Kid's gotta eat, right?" Angela replied.

"What?" Sam raised a brow.

"He kept her hidden, locked up, but he had to feed her, didn't he?" Angela said.

"I guess." Sam replied.

"I think I know where." Angela said.

~/~\~

Dean, Sam and Angela busted a hole in the kitchen wall, letting light into the shaft.

"Could've kept her hidden for years." Angela commented. "Kept her fed, nobody would ever know."

Brian flinched away from the open shaft. "Danny! Danny!"

Dean shined a light down the shaft. "Watch out, I'm going down."

"I'm coming with." Angela replied.

"No. That's my son." Brian said.

"I know it is, but Angie and I said that we would get him. We will. Let us."

Dean looked down and up the shaft and scooted through the hole, then started to climb down the side. Angela followed suit.

"Hey, you got curtains?" Sam asked. "We need rope."

Brian went looking while Sam held the light on Dean and Angela.

Dean and Angela hit the bottom of the shaft and looked around. There was a rosary on the floor with a large wooden cross.

~/~\~

Dean and Angela found two of their guns. They picked them up and checked it.

"Bitch is a klepto." Angela muttered. She found another gun and checked it. "Come on. Danny. Danny."

Danny screamed.

"Danny?" Dean called.

Dean and Angela found a hole in the brick wall. Dean shined the light through and saw Danny, still bound and gagged. Angela grabbed the butcher knife from nearby and cut Danny's bonds. Danny scrambled through the hole.

"Your dad's upstairs. Come on. Watch your head, watch your head." Angela said.

"Hurry, he's coming back." Danny said.

"He?" Dean and Angela frowned.

"Her brother." Danny said.

There was an inarticulate yell. A boy tackled Angela.

"Angie!" Dean yelled.

"Dean, get outta here! Get Danny to safety!" Angela said.

"Angie, no way in hell I'm leaving you!"

"Go!" she yelled. "You get outta here too, Dean!"

~/~\~

Angela and the boy fought while Dean started leading Danny away.

~/~\~

Sam dropped one end of the rope of knotted curtains down the shaft. Dean led Danny to the bottom.

"Danny!" Sam said. He suddenly frowned. "Dean, where the hell's Angie?" he asked. "Where the hell is she?!"

~/~\~

Angela and the boy fought. She lost one of her guns.

~/~\~

Danny tied himself into the rope.

"Okay!" Danny said.

"Pull." Sam instructed.

"Come on, buddy. Come on, buddy. Don't look back, Danny. Just come on, come on." Brian encouraged.

They hoisted Danny up the shaft.

Dean looked over his shoulder and huffed. Dammit, Angela was stubborn sometimes. He followed Danny up the shaft.

~/~\~

Danny and Dean were out of the shaft.

"Come on. You okay? It's okay." Brian said.

"Get him out of here. You gotta go." Sam said.

Brian and Danny left. Sam shined a light down the shaft.

"Angie!" he yelled. He looked at Dean. "Why the hell did you leave her alone down there?!"

"She told me to get the hell out of there, Sam! She told me to get Danny to safety!" Dean replied.

~/~\~

The boy stabbed at Angela, who scrambled for her gun and shot. The boy fell. Sam and Dean came in through the hole. Sam ran and hugged her tightly, lifting her off the ground.

"Oh my god." Sam breathed. "Thank god, oh thank god Angie, you're okay." He whispered.

She hugged him back and smiled a bit. "Don't worry, you're not gonna get rid of me that easy." She breathed.

He set her down. "I don't want you pulling anything like that again." He said seriously.

She smiled and patted his cheek affectionately. "It's hilarious that you think you can tell me what to do." She laughed.

Dean hugged her tightly. "Glad you're safe, kiddo." He said. "You took a hell of a risk. Just uh, please don't scare us like that again."

~/~\~

Kate cried. Susan held Danny. Dean, Sam and Angela came out of the front door and saw the girl's body.

~/~\~

Dean jacked down the Impala after apparently replacing the tires. Sam pulled Dean's duffel out of the repacked trunk and threw it in the back of the car. Brian and Susan walked over.

"Thanks for the head start." Dean said.

"Why doesn't it surprise me you guys don't like the police?" Brian asked.

"It's sort of a mutual appreciation thing, really." Sam replied.

Brian shook Dean and Angela's hands. "Well, thank you."

"Thank you." Susan said.

"You okay?" Angela asked.

"No, we're the opposite of okay, but we're together." Susan replied. Brian took Susan's hand. "Thanks." Susan said again.

Dean and Angela nodded.

~/~\~

Sam, Dean and Angela got out of the car. Sam came around to Dean's side with burgers. Dean and Angela unwrapped theirs. Dean looked at his, and wrapped it back up.

"You okay?" Angela nudged him.

"You know, I felt for those sons of bitches back there." Dean replied. "Lifelong torture turns you into something like that."

"You were in hell, Dean." Sam said. "Look, maybe you did what you did there, but you're not them. They were barely human."

Dean nodded. "Yeah, you're right. I wasn't like them. I was worse. They were animals defending territory." He replied. "Me? I did it for the sheer pleasure."

"What?" Angela breathed.

"I enjoyed it. They took me off the rack, and I tortured souls, and I liked it." Dean replied. "All those years, all that pain. Finally getting to deal some out yourself. I didn't care who they put in front of me. Because that pain I felt, it just slipped away. No matter how many people I save, I can't change that. I can't fill this hole. Not ever."

A/N: Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Also, we're officially halfway through Demons, Lies and Angels! That's crazy! Anyway, I thought having a fight scene with Angie and the girl's brother would be interesting, because I don't think we've seen Angie have a one on one fight, she either gets injured or the boys save her, so I wanted to switch it up a bit. And the scene where Sam hugs her I thought was needed because now we see that Sam definitely still loves her, and we go to see Angie's walls come down just a teeny tiny bit with him.

Anyway, don't forget to review, review, review! Love you guys!
