Criss Angela is a Douchebag Part 2

"Jay." Sam said. "Thanks for dropping the charges."

"You mind telling us why you did it?" Angela asked.

"We have to talk." Jay replied.

~/~\~

"I was just a kid when we first met. All I knew was how to cheat at cards." Jay said. "Charlie got out of more scrapes than I can count. Hell, I would have been dead by the age of 20 if it hadn't been for him." He sighed. "He was more than my friend. He was my brother."

"I'm sorry, Jay." Sam said.

"Look, I should have listened to you three when you told me that my show was killing people."

"Well, you weren't the one pulling the trigger." Dean replied.

"Yeah, but someone did, and I want to find out who did this to Charlie, so I'll do whatever you three say. Just tell me what to do."

"Jay, whoever's doing this… they like you." Angela said. "They're probably close to you. Did Charlie and Vernon get along?"

"No. No, it's not Vernon." Jay said.

"He's the only one that makes sense." Dean said.

"Charlie and Vernon were your family, Jay." Sam said.

"And now Charlie's gone." Angela added.

"Yeah, but… they butted heads sometimes, but Vernon could never do something like this."

"See, the thing about real magic is it's a whole lot like crack." Dean said. "People do surprising things once they get a taste of it."

~/~\~

After Vernon left his hotel room Sam, Dean and Angela entered.

"Wow." Sam said. "It's like a… magic museum."

"You must be in heaven." Dean replied. "This guy doesn't travel light."

"He's been on the road his whole life." Angela commented. "Probably everything he owns is in this room."

"Let's get started." Dean said.

~/~\~

"This is just a bunch of old timey magic stuff, none of it is magic." Dean said.

"No herbs, no candles, and no tarot cards." Angela sighed.

"I'll be damned." Dean commented.

"What?" Sam and Angela asked.

Dean held up a poster. "Look like anyone we know?"

~/~\~

"Not so fast!" Dean exclaimed. "I ain't Guttenberg, and this ain't 'Cocoon.' Immortality. That's a neat trick."

"It's not a trick. It's magic." Charlie said.

A noose appeared behind Dean and dropped around his neck and lifted him. Sam shot Charlie, and Charlie caught the bullet in his teeth.

"Hey, bullet catch, been working on that." Charlie smirked.

"Get him!" Dean yelled.

"Let him go, now!" Angela exclaimed.

"Just leave me and my friends alone." Charlie said. "All right, I will give it up, the spells, the hexes. This is the last time. I promise."

Charlie pushed Angela onto the sword table. Charlie clutched his stomach, where he was now bleeding.

"Jay… you picked these strangers over me?"

Sam ran over to Angela. "You okay?"

She nodded. "I'll live." She muttered. She looked at Dean. "You all right?"

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm all right." Dean said.

~/~\~

"Hey, Jay." Angela said. "We wanted to thank you for what you did yesterday."

"I killed my best friend yesterday, and you want to thank me?"

"Where's Vernon?" Sam asked.

"Oh, he's gone." Jay replied. "He said he didn't want to speak to me again after what I did to Charlie."

"Listen, Jay… you know Charlie was never gonna give up what he was doing." Dean said. "Ever. You did the right thing."

"Are you sure about that?" Jay asked. "You know, Charlie was like my brother. And now he's dead… because I did 'the right thing.' He offered me a gift, and I just threw it back in his face. So now I have to spend the rest of my life old and alone. What's so right about that?"

"Jay… your cards." The bartender said.

"Throw them away."

"Well, I don't know about you, but… I could go for a beer." Angela muttered.

"I'm gonna take a walk." Sam said.

~/~\~

Sam opened the door to Ruby's car.

"Okay. I'm in."

"What changed your mind?" Ruby asked.

"I don't want to be doing this when I'm an old man."
