I wake up the next morning and hear the birds singing sweetly outside my window. It's a perfectly beautiful day so I grab another shower and throw on some well worn jeans with holes in the knees and on the thighs, a black tank top and my boots. Walking into the living room and glancing into the kitchen I notice Liz isn't there. She's usually an early riser so this is a little confusing to me but I think maybe she stayed up too late last night on the phone with Dean. I smile thinking of my own conversation with D and know that her's was probably as nice. I grab a banana and pop two pieces of bread in the toaster. I eat the banana while the bread is toasting and pour a glass of water. When my toast is ready I smear peanut butter onto the still warm bread so that it melts into the toast.
After breakfast I decide to check in on Liz. I've heard no sounds at all coming from her room. Knocking lightly on her door I wait for a response. After standing there for an appropriate amount of time and not hearing a response I turn the knob. As I step into the room I notice the window is open and the sheer curtains are blowing in the breeze. Ok so maybe Liz wanted some fresh air. Then I notice the bathroom door is open and the shower isn't on. The light isn't even on. Being around Dean as much as I have has brought out the suspicious person in me so I slowly turn to observe the room. Liz's purse is on the dresser where she always keeps it. Her keys are lying beside the purse. Her cell phone is still on the charger on the bedside table. I look back at the open window and see a small smear of blood. Ok this isn't good!
Quickly walking out of the room I go back to my own room and grab D's Glock 9 mm with the 17 round magazine and my keys and cell. I make my way outside looking around to see if I see anything else out of the ordinary. I don't see anything so I hop up into my Jeep and head to find Cas since our guys are still gone. On the way I dial D's cell number and after four rings I get his voicemail. I quickly shut the phone off and throw it into the cup holder beside me. Throwing dirt as I take the corners around to Cas' place I steer the Jeep with one hand. As I reach Cas' house I slam on the brakes in front and hop out. The gun is in my hand and I am on high alert for everything that's going on around me. I knock on the door and one of Cas' girls opens it. She's in a pair of boy short panties and what appears to be one of Cas' wife beaters. "Is Cas here?", I ask anxiously. "He's in the back.", she says as she steps back and lets me into the house. I'm surprised that she's not even the slightest bit anxious about the gun in my hand. I quickly make my way to the back of the house where Cas' room is and step through the beaded curtain that serves as the door to the bedroom. As my eyes quickly adjust to the darkness of the room I see Cas tangled with three very beautiful women. "Cas wake up! Liz is missing and I need your help since the guys are still gone.", I reach out and shake his foot to help wake him.
Cas rolls over and disentangles himself from the women and I catch a glimpse of parts of him I've never particularly wanted to see! "Damn Cas get some clothes on!", I complain. He only runs his fingers through his messy hair and smiles at me. "Calm down woman! You would think you've been around those two Neanderthals or something." I know he mean's "the Deans" and I frown at him. "Look Liz is missing and I need your help! Get your damn clothes on and get in the Jeep!" Cas grabs some jeans from the floor and a shirt off the nearby chair and in his own way hurries into a more presentable state. The women are still asleep on the bed and they've now entangled themselves with each other to make up for the space that Cas left. I shake my head and walk through the beaded curtain into the other room. His other woman is in the kitchen fixing breakfast or something. I smell food cooking.
Just then my cell buzzes and starts it's heavy metal ringtone that signals that D is calling me. I grab it quickly, "Hello!" "Nicole is everything alright? You sound a bit rattled.", D says as I answer. "No everything is not alright. Liz is missing! I'm here at Cas' now to get his help. We need to get back over there and see what clues we can find.", I say into the phone and wish for the millionth time that the guys were here. Of course this probably wouldn't have happened if they were. I hear D swear on the other end of the line and I grimace. "D I feel like it's my fault.", I groan into the phone. "If I had been more observant this wouldn't have happened. I thought I saw something in the woods last night while we were on the phone and I blew it off. I know better." "Now don't you start!", D scolds me. "We have lots of enemies and they've been after us pretty hard lately. We got Sam back and he's good. We're actually on our way back there now. We should be back within the hour. You go back with Cas and look for clues. I'll tell Dean what's going on and we'll hurry." I swallow back some tears and nod silently. "Ok see you as soon as we can get back there. It's going to be alright Nicole." "Ok please be careful and I love you.", I say after I've gotten control of myself. "I love you too." With that he hung up the phone and Cas came out of the back room.
