As soon as we'd finished at the police station we headed back to the university. Sam was unusually anxious to get back there, seeming twitchy the whole time we were at the station.
Clearly something was bothering him, but he refused to talk about it.
I was certain it had something to do with getting attacked this morning. Quite probably he was beating himself up over the fact that the thing managed to get the drop on him. Although, after the number of times that had happened to us over the years, I wouldn't expect it to affect him so much.
There was no point pushing him, but I made sure he knew that I was here when he was ready to talk about it.
Until then, we focussed on the case. After looking at the bodies we were still thinking that it was a werewolf, and Sam seemed to be sure now after his hesitation earlier. I was still bothered by the rope marks though. Tying their victims up was not normal werewolf behaviour.
Although, as Sam pointed out, monsters hadn't really been playing by the rule book for quite some time now…
Ultimately, looking at the bodies didn't really tell us anything we didn't know. So, we had picked up the case file copies from the officer out the front and headed back to the campus in silence.
It was a little after 8am when we got back to the girls dorm, so this time there was the quiet hum of students getting ready for the day.
We showed our ID's to the day guard at the door and headed up to their rooms. At least they should be awake by now.
Seeing as Emily's room was closest we knocked on her door first.
There was silence for a moment then I heard Emily call out. "Who's there?"
I smiled a little, it was good to see that they were taking basic precautions before opening the door, although I was bothered by the worry I could hear in her voice. Who else was she expecting to come knocking on the door?
I glanced at Sam, who just rolled his eyes a little looking almost amused that they'd bothered. I frowned at him, but didn't comment.
"Sam and Dean." I called back through the door and I heard the sound of someone walking across the room.
Emily opened the door with a smile. "Hi guys."
I smiled at her, "Good to see you're being careful."
She looked pleased at the praise as she stepped aside so that we could come in.
A quick look into the room showed that Taylor was already there, so we didn't need to go and get her.
I went over to sit down on the bed next to her, and I couldn't help but notice the tell-tale blush that crept up her face at the close proximity.
Apparently her feelings towards me hadn't changed after so many years, which rather surprised me actually.
She had been cute when we'd seen her last, and now she was a very attractive young woman. On the other hand, I don't think anyone could honestly say that the years had been kind to me…especially if you counted those years down in hell.
And somehow, she didn't seem fazed. I smiled at her and was rewarded with a bright smile and more blushing.
The Emily was speaking to her and she looked back at the other two.
"Taylor's not much for running." Emily said grinning at her.
Taylor shook her head, chuckling, "Nope, I just don't see running as a fun hobby."
I chuckled too, "I'm with you. Running is for when something's chasing you…or something needs chasing."
Sam rolled his eyes at us, looking amused. "Well, I agree with you Emily. Nothing wrong with a good run." He smiled at Emily, "I could go with you now, if you want?"
Emily broke into a grin, "That'd be awesome."
I frowned at them, wondering again what had gotten into Sam today. "Not to burst your bubble guys, but we do have some work to do."
Sam was unfazed, "We can do both. You and Taylor can go over the files from the police station, and Emily and I can go check out the sites the bodies were found in daylight."
I scowled a little, "You just want to leave me with the book work."
Sam just shrugged, looking like he couldn't care less about the case files we were supposed to be looking over.
Emily spoke up, grinning at me. "It won't be that bad, you'll have Taylor to help you out." She looked between us and winked.
Taylor blushed again, trying and failing to hide a grin.
I smirked, then gave a dramatic sigh, "Fine. Go for your run, Taylor and I will do the real work." Honestly, it was nice to see both girls looking so happy for the moment.
Emily's grin widened, "Thanks Dean, you're awesome."
I gave a bark of laughter before answering, "Yeah, I know."
Sam snorted, leaning down to pull out his laptop and the files out of his bag. He passed them over to me without a word, then turned his attention back to Emily, "Ready to go?"
She nodded, already walking towards the door. She turned to look at us before opening it, "Are you guys going to stay here until we get back?"
Taylor thought about it for a moment, then nodded, "Yeah, we're here now."
Emily gave a little nod, "Ok." She opened the door, waiting for Sam to walk out into the corridor before following.
Just before the door clicked shut we heard her calling out, "No funny business on my bed!"
I grinned, and Taylor's blush turned into the full blown tomato red that I'd gotten to see so many times last time we were in close proximity.
After a moment Taylor cleared her throat nervously, "So…um, case files?" She pointed at the file in my hand.
I gave a bark of laughter, "Yup, case files."
Hi everybody! A full size chapter this time! Yay! I am curious if you guys like getting similar scenes from different people's views, or if you feel like I am giving you too much of the same again? I feel like I need to write chapters like this because I only write one person's thoughts and feelings per chapter, and I think some scenes need to be seen from more than one person's perspective! Let me know what you think :)
Thankyou as always to Sallyannerenee and sensualxstacy for your great reviews!
