Kirsti made good on her promise and kidnapped me, taking me up to the house on the top of the property. Her play house was still out in the yard. I sat on a stool while she primped, doing hair and makeup. Only Kirsti would apply a fresh coat of cover girl before hopping in the sauna. She'd taken it upon herself to turn me in to her own personal Barbie doll, but I'd convinced her to save it for going out. I couldn't sit through two spit shin shine and polish sessions.

When she had perfected her look, she led me out the door. I made sure to grab a towel, wrapping it securely around myself. Her taste hadn't changed, and the suit didn't leave much to the imagination. Coupled with her slightly smaller frame, my modesty was very much at risk.

Sam and Dean were already in the sauna when we got there. The sight of Dean's bare chest, beaded with sweat, made me flush red. I kept the towel around myself as I sat down next to Kirsti. She grinned and winked at the boys, tugging at the back of my towel. I shrieked as it fell in a pool around me. I glared at her, and she laughed. "Oli is too shy for her own good."

I set my jaw, resisting the urge to cover myself with my hands. I caught Dean looking at us, and I suddenly wanted to cover Kirsti and her bubble gum pink string bikini instead. From head to toe. In a nun's habit. "Kirsti should keep her hands to herself." I muttered.

Sam cleared his throat. "How's business?" I knew they wanted to get some info for the case, so I stowed my embarrassment for the time being. I looked up. Dean sat across from us, staring at a spot on the wall just behind our heads. I wanted the earth to swallow me. I didn't look THAT ridiculous, did I?
"It's our slow season." Kirsti gave the boys one of her devastating smiles. Part of me was really mad at her for being pretty AND nice. Life would have been easier if I could have hated her.

"Any trouble with…" I trailed off, not wanting to upset Kirsti. She was brazen, yes, but also my best friend.

"Most of the girls were a couple years behind me in school, so I didn't know them too well. Mom and dad moved into that house they were building, but he comes by to check on me ever since… You know. Us girls don't go out alone so much anymore." Kirsti sill smiled, but it wasn't as bright as normal. I grabbed her hand.

"Are you okay?"

She nodded. "I'm good. Most of the girl's are townies, since it's the off season. Little sisters of a couple of my friends are pretty terrified, but I'm alright."

"I'll take care of you." I gave her hand a squeeze and we shared a smile. That's how we were. She was the instigator, I was the care taker. Thor and Loki. Damn, I should have used that analogy with Dean.

It was Dean's turn to clear his throat. The smirk that made me nuts suddenly made me remember the porn star conversation from the car ride and I blushed. He smirked MORE, if that's possible.

"I'm sure it's tough." Sam's voice was sympathetic as he kept up the conversation. Kirsti scooted closer to me.

"You assume you're safe, in a town like this. I don't get it. Osakis' biggest crime is public intox, or fishing without a license. All of a sudden, people around the lake start dropping like flies… I just want to be safe again."

"You will be." Dean finally spoke. When his eyes fell on her, I noticed that she sat up a bit straighter, putting on her Kirsti Sex Kitten persona. I chewed on my lip.

"Any local suspicions?" God bless Sam, for keeping things normal.

"The girls who died, I don't know."Her lip quivered. "Every time I hear about one, I can't help but think about how it could have been me."

"It won't be you." I was firm. "Why would it be you?" I was also confused.

"So far, everyone who has been attacked has been a girl who isn't seeing anybody seriously, you know? Dating around. They were, um, fooling around with someone by the lake, you know, just having some fun. The guy they are with is always fine, relatively. Unconscious, chased off, whatever. I finally just had to stop dating, when they noticed the pattern. I haven't been on a date in WEEKS." Her sigh was distressed, and it made her chest rise and fall in a way made me feel, for lack of a better term, butt hurt.

"Now THAT is the real tragedy…"

I shot Dean a look when he muttered it. Maybe he was bemoaning the world's loss of another hot bar chick, but he almost sounded sarcastic. He MUST have sounded sarcastic, because Kirsti shot him a look.

"Remember Tyler?" I changed the subject, leaning back next to her.

"Ohhhh yeah." Kirsti laughed.

"Who is Tyler?" Dean's voice was dark as he got up to pour water on the rocks.

"My high school boyfriend. He was a nice guy. Friendly. Probably friendlier than I should have been dating. Oli came to see me without her parents the last time she came up, and I felt like he was flirting with her, and I was a little hurt. I may have acted out."

I barked out a laugh. "Yes, acted out is one term for it."

"What happened?" Sam looked amused.

"We had a slumber party at the cabin-"I started the story, but Kirsti told it better, so I let her cut in.

"I thought he was hitting on Oli. I was stupid enough to believe she'd have let him. I was mad, so I kind of hit on the dock boy that she'd started seeing over the summer. I played with a strand of my hair. We were past this high school crap, but I still didn't like it being brought up. "I may have sorta… slept… with him, a tiny bit. Tyler was super mad, and it went to Oli-"

"And I hit him in the face for thinking he didn't have to be a gentleman anymore." My voice was no nonsense and I gave her hair a little tug to get her attention. Those sorts of details were no one's business but ours. I gave her a quick squeeze around the shoulders. "No means no, and no one calls my friend a slut, except for me." Kirsti shook her head, laughing at the bemused look on Sam and Dean's face.
