Part 8:
"You gonna eat or what?"
Kae looked at Dean disgustedly. He'd already eaten his burger, fries, and was now making his way through a sizeable slice of cherry pie.
"No thanks." she sipped her water tentatively, her mind still reeling from her nightmare.
"Kae, c'mon." Sam pushed a small plate of fries toward her. "You gotta eat something."
"Get off my case, alright?!" she spit out. "I'm not hungry."
"Well then talk," Dean pressed her. "Please." he added exasperatedly at the glare Sam gave him.
"What do you want to know?"
"For starters, why does Lucifer want you?" Sam asked.
Kae shrugged. "He said it was fate. Load of bullshit in my opinion." she tapped absently on the side of her glass with two fingers. "Remember Jesse? Imagine what a cambion, her child, and Satan himself would be capable of." she swallowed the lump in her throat. "The Apocalypse would look like a fucking carnival compared to what that kind of power could bring. That's what he really wants."
The brothers said nothing, but she could tell by their expressions that their imaginations were projecting ideas about that kind of future that they definitely didn't like.
"He visits you in your nightmares right?" Sam asked after a while.
Kae nodded and looked at him. "You too, I'm assuming?" Sam nodded. "No offense Sam, but you're not my type."
He chuckled a little. "None taken."
"Alright, so Lucifer wants you to have his kid...that's not gonna happen." Dean hesitated and then leaned forward a little. "We're outside of Carthage. Meeting up with a couple of friends of ours."
"I don't understand," she frowned. "A case? Why two more hunters?"
Dean grinned.
"'Cause we're gonna kill the Devil."
"Got everything?"
"Yeah. I...are you sure you're gonna be okay?"
Max laughed. "Days of trying to escape your normal life to hunt and suddenly you're having second thoughts?"
Kae didn't answer. Max sighed.
"I'll be fine, sweetie." she picked up one of the two suitcases Kae had packed and loaded it into the back seat of her car. "It's been six months...and I know you're gonna go crazy if you don't get out of here soon."
"I don't want to leave you here by yourself."
Max scoffed. "Please. I can handle myself around the supernatural, remember?" She patted her daughter's shoulder gently. "You go, okay, and you give the things that killed them all hell. Understand?"
Kae nodded.
"Yes ma'am."
"Wait...what do you mean, kill the Devil?"
"I mean, we take a gun and we kill the bastard." Dean stared at her as if she'd grown an extra head. "Unfortunately we don't have the gun."
Kae crossed her arms. "Of course. Who does?"
"Cas is taking care of it."
Kae glanced out the window of the Impala, watching as the highway sped past them. She sighed and sank lower in the back seat.
"What kind of gun did you guys find that can kill Lucifer?"
"Gun that can kill any supernatural thing there is." Sam answered. "We've used it before."
"And why don't you have it anymore?"
Dean and Sam exchanged a look. "We uh...lost it."
"It wasn't lost, it was stolen." Dean snapped.
"By who?"
"Woman who went by Bela Talbot." he responded. "Anyway, Cas's tracked it down. He's meeting us before we get to Carthage."
"Where's he meeting us?"
"Abandoned gas station couple miles away." Sam turned around in his seat to look at her. "You okay?"
Kae nodded.
"I'm fine."
"Where was it?"
"Demons have been moving it around - I was unable to find the buyer Bela Talbot procured it for. Most likely a very powerful demon." Cas sighed. "I was however, able to find the next place they were moving it and intercepted it."
Dean grinned and took the gun from the angel. "Nice."
Kae leaned forward to get a better look at the gun. It was a black colt revolver that looked like something out of an old Western - she supposed it had been built back in the eighteen hundreds or so.
"This is the Colt?" she asked.
"Yeah."
She took the gun from him tentatively and turned it over in her hands before unlocking the safety and pointing it at the nearly toppled wall of the gas station they were in. When she pulled the trigger, nothing happened.
"No ammo." she announced before looking at Cas. "Can't really go after the devil with a gun that won't do anything." she looked at Cas. "You have any idea who that 'very powerful demon' is? I'm guessing he's got the ammo."
"Well you're right about that, love."
Sam and Dean swore loudly and Kae turned around so fast she lost her footing and nearly fell sideways, only for Cas to catch her and help her upright again.
A man dressed in a dark suit had appeared before them. In his hand, he held a box of bullets. His eyes flashed black briefly, then back to normal.
"Crowley." Cas said stiffly, breaking the silence that followed the demon's entrance. The demon grinned.
"Castiel." Crowley nodded briefly at him before looking back at Kae.
"Let's get down to business, shall we?"
