"Apocalypse?" Dean squeaked, "The apocalypse, apocalypse? The four horsemen, pestilence, $5-a-gallon-gas apocalypse?"

"That's the one." Bobby pointed, "The rise of the witnesses is a- a mile marker."

"Well, that's just great." Angel scoffed, shaking her head, "What the hell are we supposed to do now?"

"Road trip." Dean answered quickly, "Grand Canyon, Star Trek Experience." He grinned, "Bunny Ranch."

"Fun." Asa nodded at him with wide eyes, "Sounds like a good plan to me."

"First things first." Bobby interrupted, ignoring them, "How about we survive our friends out there?"

"Seconded." Angel agreed as she paced and thought about a plan, "Now how do we do that? We can't stay locked up in here forever."

"It's a spell." Bobby indicated the paper in front of him, "It's supposed to send the witnesses back to rest. Should work."

"Should." Sam grumbled, "Great."

"If I translate it correctly." Bobby informed, "I think I got everything we need here at the house."

Dean laughed a little lightly, "Any chance you got everything we need here in this room?"

Bobby smirked, "You thought our luck was gonna start now all of a sudden?" He shook his head, "Spell's got to be cast over an open fire."

Realization came to Sam, "The fireplace in the library."

"Bingo."

Dean laughed again, this time a bit strained, "That's just not as appealing as a, uh, ghost-proof panic room, you know?"

"It's not but we can handle it." Angel nodded as she prepared herself to leave, "Just stick together, alright? Watch eachothers backs."

Asa stopped her, "Stay close to me, alright?" She raised a brow, "These ghosts are on steroids and I'm not about to lose you again."

"Cover each other." Bobby instructed as he took stance by the door, "And aim careful. Don't run out of ammo until I'm done, or they'll shred you. Ready?"

At all their nods they carefully made their way out of the room to head towards the stairs. A ghost sat there, blocking their way. He was a young man in his early 20's with curly hair and he was smiling directly at Dean.

"Hey, Dean. You remember me?"

Dean's memory flashed back to a the shifter bank robbery job they worked a few years ago. This guy died before they could help him.

"Ronald, huh?" Dean nodded in recognition, "With the laser eyes?" He laughed lightly, "I wish I could say it's good to see you."

"I am dead because of you. You were supposed to help me!"

Immediately Bobby shot Ronald and he disappeared.

"If you're gonna shoot, shoot." Bobby reared on Dean, "Don't talk."

Hurriedly the group made their way to the living room. Angel created a salt circle as Dean started the fire.

"Upstairs in the linen closet- red hex box." Bobby instructed as he turned to Sam and Asa, "It'll be heavy."

Sam nodded, "Got it."

As soon as the two of them took off the two twin girls appeared in the living room staring right at Bobby, "Bobby."

Dean shot at the girls as Bobby turned to him and Angel, "Kitchen. Cutlery drawer has got a false bottom. Hemlock, opium, wormwood."

Dean gave him an odd look, "Opium?"

"Go!"

Angel cocked her gun, "I got this one."

Before Dean could react she was already hightailing it to the kitchen. As soon as she left the girls appeared again as Bobby drew with chalk on the desk.

"Bobby, you walked right by us while that monster ate us all up."

"You could have saved us."

Dean immediately shot at them just as the doors to the kitchen slammed shut sealing Angel inside. Dean panicked and almost ran over to her but was stopped by Bobby.

"Angel?!" He yelled, "Angel you alright?!"

"I'm okay!" She called back immediately, "Keep working!" Henriksen then appeared right beside her, startling her, "Victor."

His face was stone, "Angel."

"Look… I get it, okay?"

"No." He shook his head at her, "You don't."

"It's our fault you're dead, Victor. I get that. As soon as we heard about the explosion, I knew. I knew we should've stayed and got you guys out of there. We never should have left. We should've made sure you were safe."

As she reached for her gun Henriksen made it go flying across the room.

"Not so fast. You think you left and Lilith came and we all died in a beautiful blast of… white light? If only. 45 minutes."

Her brows lifted in shock, "What?"

"Over 45 minutes. Lilith said she wanted to have some fun. The secretary was first. Remember her? Nancy, the virgin. Lilith filleted Nancy's skin off piece by piece. Right in front of us, made us watch. Nancy never stopped screaming."

Shock filled her at this revelation, "No…"

"I was the last." He reached inside her chest to grip her heart, something so painful she was gasping out in short bursts of breath, "Tell me how it's fair. You get saved from Hell, I die. Why do you deserve another chance, Angel?"

Sam and Asa ran into the kitchen just then. Asa shot Henriksen before they both rushed to check on Angel. They got to her just as she collapsed to the floor and gasped in pain.

"Angie. Hey, hey." Asa dropped beside her, "You okay?"

"No." She gasped again as the pain started to subside and allowed them to help her up, "So stop asking me that."

She grabbed the other ingredients and ran with the boys, and the heavy box they carried, back to the library.

Ronald appears again as Dean was reloading his gun, "Ronald." He forced a smile, "Hey, come on, man. I thought we were pals."

"That's when I was breathing." He growled, "Now I'm gonna eat you alive."

"Well… come on. I'm not a cheeseburger."

Dean cocked his gun and pointed it at Ronald, but the ghost had vanished. Bobby started to recite some Latin words just as the windows blew open with a powerful wind. The wind moved the salt from the circle so they were no longer protected by it. Meg appeared and Sam quickly shot at her as Bobby continued to recite the spell. Ronald appeared again and the boys both shot at him. Angel, Asa, Sam and Dean continued to fire their weapons as the ghosts appeared one by one.

Henriksen knocked Dean's gun out of his hands as he reloaded. Dean grabbed another gun and shot it as he approached, only to find it empty. He quickly picked up an iron rod and hit Henriksen.

Meg appeared and pushed Sam against the wall. She promptly trapped him there with a desk. He tried to push the desk away without success as Dean began grappling with Ronald.

Bobby continued to recite the spell as Sam kept trying to get out from being pinned. Henriksen knocked Asa out of the way before angrily grabbing Angel by the throat. The twin girl ghosts appeared sitting on the desk that pinned Sam, waiting. Meg, while everyone is preoccupied, plunged a hand into Bobby's back causing him to almost drop the bowl with spell ingredients.

"Dean!" Bobby called and tossed the bowl to him, "Fireplace!"

Dean threw the bowl in the fire, which turned blue. The ghosts all disappeared immediately. Bobby and Angel each fall to the ground upon being let go. Asa ran to her as Dean ran to Bobby. Sam pushed the desk away and freed himself. As Angel caught her breath, Bobby waved Dean off to indicate he was okay.
