It was hilarious watching both girls faces light up when they saw us, only to falter mid step to stare at each other in confusion.

"Emily," I said with mock seriousness, "Meet our friend Taylor."

Dean snorted, before adding, "And Taylor, meet our friend Emily."

The two girls stared at us for a moment, then started firing questions at a mile a minute.

"Whoa!" Dean held up a hand, still looking amused. "Slow it down there. How about we take this discussion out of the corridor?"

The two girls stopped, looked at each other then nodded. I let out another laugh, you could tell already that the two were close.

"This is my room." Emily told us, pointing to the door just behind us and pulling out her key.

"We know." I told her with a grin.

She opened the door, then turned to look at me with a slightly confused frown, "How? I didn't give you my room number."

"FBI, remember?" Dean grinned, and moved into the room to look around.

Both girls rolled their eyes at us. I smirked.

Taylor followed Dean into the room, and Emily was behind her. As she passed me I saw something that I hadn't noticed while she was facing Taylor, and grabbed her wrist gently to stop her.

"Who did this?" I asked her, working to keep my voice even. There were purple and red bruises on her arm and her face. She'd clearly been hit, and more than once.

She grimaced, "Just…some stupid guy." She nodded her head questioningly towards the room, and after a moment I let her wrist go, following her into the room and closing the door behind me.

"Some guy did this to you." I repeated, struggling to keep the anger out of my voice at the thought of someone hurting someone we cared about. "Boyfriend?" I asked.

She shook her head, "No."

"A couple of meatheads attacked our friend this morning." Taylor told us, "We intervened."

That got a bit of a smile out of me, I wasn't surprised that they would be the ones to step up to defend their friend.

Dean took a moment to look Taylor up and down, which caused her to blush a little. "I'm fine." She assured him, "Only one of them decided to start swinging."

"Good to know." He looked her over once more, then smirked a little, causing her to blush even more.

Emily and I looked at each other, both rolled our eyes and then burst out laughing.

Dean glanced at us with a shrug, "What?"

"So, does bastard need to be taught a lesson?" I asked. He may not be a supernatural creature, but that didn't mean I couldn't give him a lesson he wouldn't forget…

Emily chuckled a little, "Easy tiger. The police have got it covered," She smirked, "The real police. He's being charged with assault. We've just spent all day at the hospital to get officially checked out, then at the police station giving statements."

I nodded, "Ok, just let us know if the 'real police'," I made air quotes with my fingers, "Fail to get justice."

She nodded solemnly, "Will do."

Then she broke into a grin and gave me a hug, "I am so glad you guys are here."

I smiled and hugged her back, "We came as fast as we could."

"No kidding," Taylor piped up, "How many road laws did you guys break?! You were in Minnesota, like, two days ago!"

Dean snorted, "Us, break road laws? Would we do that Sammy?"

I laughed, "Me, nah. You? Well…"

He shrugged, "Ah well, the rules were made to be broken."

Dean and Taylor were now sitting on the edge of the bed, just far enough apart for it to not be awkward. Emily pulled out her desk chair and offered it to me, but I shook my head and sat on the edge of the desk instead, so she took the chair.

I looked between the two of them, "Who would have thought it." I commented, "Not only did the two of you end up in the same place, at the same time, but you end up friends." I shook my head slightly, "It's a small world."

Dean chuckled, "And neither of you had the slightest idea?"

Both girls shook their heads. "So, how did you get drawn into the world of the Winchesters?" Taylor asked Emily.

Emily chuckled, "Well…you know how I told you that scar on my side was from a mugging…?" Taylor nodded. "Demon…" Emily finished.

Taylor's eyes widened, "Really? Wow…"

"You?" Emily asked.

"That's…a long story." Taylor commented, "I promise I'll tell you the whole thing later, but for now suffice to say that my scars also came from a run in with these two."

Emily looked at her curiously, "I'll hold you to that."

There was a moment of silence, and then the atmosphere in the room turned serious. "They found another body this morning." Emily said.

"We know." Dean told her. "Taylor called."

Emily gave Taylor a confused look, "When? You've been with me all day."

"When we were getting changed for class." Taylor told her, looking a little sheepish.

"Oh…" Emily frowned for a moment, then shrugged. "Fair enough."

"Not that I had much to tell them." Taylor added, "How'd you go with the police?"

"They didn't give us a lot over the phone, but we should be able to get a whole lot more when we go in there in person tomorrow." I told them. "But, they did confirm that the girl they found this morning was killed in the same manner as the others…"

Both girls shuddered a little.

"Do you know what it is?" Emily asked.

"We have an idea." Dean told her, "But we'll know more after we get a look at the bodies."

Taylor looked a little queasy at the thought, and changed the subject a little. "What about tonight? It's going to attack again."

Dean and I exchanged worried looks. "We know." I said quietly, "And we are going to do what we can, but…realistically we have almost nothing to go on so far. It'd be pure luck if we manage to catch it tonight…"

"So…you're saying more people are still going to die?" Emily said quietly, sadly.

Dean nodded. "Yeah, most likely. I'm sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear, but it's the truth."

"Well then," Emily said, "We'd better get started."

I raised an eyebrow at her.

"What?" Taylor said, "You don't think we're just going to sit and watch? These are our classmates."

I looked at Dean, who shrugged, a faint smile tugging at his mouth.

"Ok then." I shrugged, "Let's get started."
