Part 4:
On the way to the police station, Kae sent texts to Sam and Dean to let them know she was on her way.
"Airline lose your baggage?" she heard the driver ask as they rounded a corner.
"No." she said shortly before hitting 'send' on her phone and sending off her text to Sam.
"You uh...running away or something?"
"How about you mind your own damn business?" she shot back, eyes flashing.
The cab driver suddenly pulled over to the side of the road and turned to face her. "C'mon Kaelyn you can tell me - we're old pals, remember?"
Kae's eyes narrowed as she took in his face and she set her phone aside.
"Gabriel."
The sound of a loud crash jolted Kae from her sleep at 4:30 in the morning. She groaned quietly and got to her feet before making her way downstairs.
"Kae?" she heard Max call sleepily. "If you see your dad down there, tell him to wait until the daylight to fix the sink, okay?"
Kae frowned; Danny wasn't in bed? He usually slept like a log. "Uh...yeah. Go back to sleep Mom."
"M...Mkay."
Kae headed downstairs, a bad feeling forming in her stomach. She breathed deeply, and nearly vomitted when the stench of sulfur hit her nose.
"Dad?" she called. "Dad, it's Kae - c'mon...think it's time you went back to bed, huh?"
No answer. Kae made her way to the kitchen. "Daddy?" she called again. "C'mon...Mom's gonna have my ass if -" her breath caught in her throat as she rounded the island and came in view of the sink.
Danny was lying on the floor in front of the sink, his throat slashed open, blood everywhere.
"Well this is nice, but uh, I'll take a different cab." Kae reached for the door handle, only for it to lock by itself. She turned back to Gabriel angrily. "Open the damn door!"
Gabriel just smirked at her, and suddenly they were standing in the middle of a field.
"We need to talk, Kae." he said seriously.
Kae crossed her arms over her chest. "About?"
"Lucifer."
"Fuck you." She shot back. "I told Zachariah -"
Gabriel rolled his eyes. "I don't care what he wants, alright? I'm on your side here."
"I don't believe you."
"Hey not everyone in my family is a dick," he said defensively. "Had anymore nightmare visits from my brother?"
"Not recently, but thanks he'll probably be back tonight." Kae turned away from him. "Look I had a case - I was -"
"Working it with the Winchesters," he finished. "Yeah, I know 'em...well, they know me as a Trickster. You think I go everywhere yelling to hunters that I'm the archangel Gabriel? Besides...Sam and Dean are indisposed."
Kae surged forward, grabbing him by the collar of his jacket. "What did you do?!"
Gabriel grinned. "You'll see."
He snapped his fingers and vanished. Kae blinked rapidly and found herself back in the cab, this time with a different driver.
Son of a bitch.
Once she'd gotten back to the motel, she tried calling Sam and then Dean. Neither of them answered. Frustrated, she threw her phone on the bed and collapsed in the desk chair.
"Just sitting there won't help us find Sam and Dean."
She nearly fell out of her chair at the new voice. When she looked around, she saw Cas standing in front of her.
"Cas?" she choked out. "Son of a bitch - knock first, why don't you?!"
He stared at her intently. "Why would I knock?"
"It's polite, you idiot." she snapped as she stood up. "Do you have any idea where they could be?"
He shook his head. "I've only been able to pinpoint it as another dimension. What about you?"
She hesitated. "Gabriel visited me today."
Cas's eyes widened at that. "What?"
Kae sighed. "We need to talk."
Thoughts? As always, no flames please.
