Authoress Note: Welcome to Chapter 4 of See You Again. I apologize that it has taken me so long to get this chapter all ready to go, but I've been working on quite a few fics and finally have gotten to this one. I hope that you guys enjoy this next chapter of See You Again. It's a lot different than the last story I had for this. A little bit more detail for Andi and how she acts around the brothers. I'm curious to find out who you guys think that Andi should be with in this series. Either brother could go well with her I think. Without further ado Chapter 4. Enjoy.
Chapter 4
Demon Traveler
Dean was sound asleep on his stomach snoring softly.
Andi was sound asleep in the other bed due to Sam putting her there sometime during the night. She was buried under the covers and on her side curled up in a ball.
Dean awoke to the sound of the door being opened. His hand slipped under his pillow for the weapon that he had hidden. He turned to look to see who came in the room and saw Sam entering the room with three cups of coffee in a carrier and some pastries for them to eat for breakfast.
"Morning, sunshine." Sam said softly offering a small smile knowing that probably wasn't the best way to wake his brother up. He looked over seeing that Andi was still sound asleep which was a good sign due to the fact that she had been up for a while and lately hadn't been getting any sleep due to the fact that she stayed up with him to talk to him about whatever he needed to talk about.
"What time is it?" Dean said groaning softly leaning back against the bed again.
"Uh, it's about five forty-five." Sam said lifting his arm that held the pastries to look at his watch.
"In the morning?"
"Yep." Sam said with a nod of his head confirming his brother's fear of it being morning already.
"Where does the day go?" Dean said as he slowly sat up in bed stretching out some trying to get the kinks out of his body. "Did you get any sleep last night?"
"Yeah, I grabbed a couple of hours." Sam lied as he looked at his brother.
"Liar. 'Cause I was up at three, and you were watching a George Foreman infomercial." Dean said looking at his younger brother with a concerned look.
"Hey, what can I say? It's riveting TV." Sam said looking at his brother with a shrug of his shoulders acting like it wasn't a big deal.
"When was the last time you got a good night's sleep?" Dean questioned his younger brother hoping that Sam wouldn't lie to him.
"I don't know, a little while, I guess. It's not a big deal." Sam said shaking his head.
Andi slowly sat up in bed pushing some of her hair back from. "Not a big deal? It' a big deal Sam…" She said as she stretched out some feeling a satisfying pop come from her back.
"Look, I appreciate that you're both concerned…" Sam said softly knowing that they both were concerned, but he didn't need them worrying about him.
"Oh, I'm not concerned about you." Dean said cutting him off, giving his brother a look. "It's your job to keep my ass alive, so I need you sharp."
Sam shrugged his shoulders as he handed Andi her coffee.
Andi rolled her eyes at what Dean said as she took a sip of her coffee.
"Seriously, are you still having nightmares about Jess?" Dean questioned as he shifted on the bed looking at his brother.
Sam crossed the room and sat down next to Andi, handing the coffee to Dean. "Yeah. But it's not just her. It's everything. I just forgot, you know? This job. Man, it just gets to you." He admitted softly not liking the idea of how easily he was admitting the truth to them.
"You can't let it. You can't bring it home like that." Dean said to him as he took a sip of his coffee as he looked at his brother.
Andi nodded her head in agreement. Keeping stuff bottled up the way he was, it sooner or later would cause a sea of emotion that he wouldn't be able to stop on his own.
"So, what? All this it… never keeps you up at night?" He asked looking at Dean.
Dean shakes his head at what his brother asks.
"Never? You're never afraid?" Sam asked softly wondering how his brother easily handled things.
"No, not really."
Sam reached under Dean's pillow pulling out a large hunting knife out holding it up showing it to him.
Dean grabs it out of his brother's hand. "That's not fear. That's protection."
"Alright, whatever. I'm too tired to argue."
Dean's phone rang and he want and answered it.
Andi looks at Sam. "Yeah. It's hard." She told him softly. "But the nightmares, they do go away after a while."
"You get them?" Sam asked looking at Andi pursing his lips together.
Andi nodded her head. "Yeah. I do. But it does get easier. It just takes time, Sam." She felt her heart flutter a little bit as she told him the truth. She had countless nightmares and after a while, sometimes it got easier. But she knew that a life of a hunter wasn't always an easy one.
"Oh, right, yeah. Up in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, the poltergeist thing. It's not back, is it?" Dean questioned the person that was on the other end of the line that was with him.
Andi turned her head looking at Dean. She blinked a few times wondering who was on the phone with Dean. She had to admit it was early and no one should've been calling that early. Her heart hoped that it was John so she could give the Winchester patriarch a piece of her mind.
"What is it?" Dean asked the person and then heard the person that was on the line and then he heard on the line and then he looked at Andi and Sam. "Yeah sure. We'll be there." He said before hanging up his phone. "We got work."
Andi nodded her head. "Alright." She said as she got up off of the bed. "Sounds important?" She questioned as she went through her duffel bag grabbing a few things out of it.
"He sounded worried."

Dean, Sam, and Andi walked with Jerry in the air hangar.
"Thanks for making the trip so quick. I ought to be doing you guys a favor, not the other way around." Jerry said looking at the three hunters that walked with him. "Dean and your dad really helped me out."
"Yeah, he told me. It was a poltergeist?" Sam said looking at Jerry as he walked.
"Poltergeist? Man, I loved that movie." One of the men that was working butted into the conversation.
"Hey, nobody's talking to you." Jerry snapped at the worker. "Keep walking. Damn right it was a poltergeist, practically tore our house apart. Tell you something, if it wasn't for you and your dad, I probably wouldn't be alive. Your dad said you were off at college. Is that right?" He asked looking at Sam.
"Yeah, I was." Sam said rubbing his arm thinking of his time at college. "I'm ... taking some time off."
"Well, he was real proud of you. I could tell. He talked about you all of the time." Jerry revealed to the youngest Winchester as they walked.
"He did?" Sam asked in confusion looking at Jerry. He didn't know that his dad had talked about him like that.
Andi smiled and patted Sam's arm with a chuckle. She knew that it was going to come a shock to him, but it was true. She knew that John was proud of his youngest son. Hell if she had been around more she would be equally proud as well.
"Yeah, you bet he did. Oh, hey, you know I tried to get a hold of him, but I couldn't. How's he doing, anyway?" Jerry asked looking at them.
"He's, um, wrapped up in a job right now." Dean said lying smoothly not letting Jerry know that John was actually missing.
"Well, we're missing the old man, but we get Sam. Even trade, huh?" Jerry said with a smile. "And this young lady that I've heard from John about."
Andi smiled chuckling lightly. She hadn't expected John to have talked about her.
Dean laughed lightly.
"No, not by a long shot." Sam said shaking his head. He didn't think that he was as good as his father.
"I got something I want you guys to hear." He told the three of them.
"Oh sounds ominous." Andi said looking at the brothers.
Jerry led them into his office. "I listened to this. And, well, it sounded like it was up your alley." He explained to them. He put a CD into a drive. "Normally I wouldn't have access to this. It's the cockpit voice recorder for United Britannia flight 2485. It was one of ours."
"Mayday! Mayday! Repeat! This is United Britannia 2485…. Immediate instruction help! United Britannia 2485, I copy your message… May be experiencing some mechanical failure…"
A loud whooshing sound came over the recording.
"Took off from here, crashed about two hundred miles south. Now, they're saying mechanical failure. Cabin depressurized somehow. Nobody knows why. Over a hundred people on board. Only seven got out alive. Pilot was one. He's a good friend of mine. Chuck is uh… well, he's pretty broken up about it. Like it was his fault." Jerry explained to them.
"You don't think it was." Sam asked looking at Jerry.
Jerry shook his head. "No, I don't."
"Jerry." Andi said speaking up at the gentleman that called them in. "We're gonna need passenger manifests, um, a list of the survivors."
Jerry pursed his lips together before nodding his head. "Alright."
"And, uh, any way we can take a look at the wreckage?" Dean asked curiously at Jerry.
"The other stuff is no problem. But the wreckage… fellas, the NTSB has it locked down in an evidence warehouse. No way I've got that kind of clearance." Jerry said shaking his head.
Dean frowned at the answer that Jerry had given them. "No problem."

Andi and Sam waited outside of the Copy Jack leaning against the car.
Andi had a Lucky Strike in her hand as she smoked it running her other hand through her hair.
"He seems to be taking a long time." Sam said letting out a soft sigh.
Andi handed handed him the cigarette that she had in her hand trying to soothe him some. Sam took it from her taking a drag from it. "It's Dean. There is probably some pretty girl in there." Andi said with a slight scoff as Sam handed her the cigarette back letting the smoke leave his lungs. "You know he's gonna flirt." She took a drag from the cigarette.
Dean came out of the Copy Jack as a woman entered.
"Hey." She said with a flirty smile.
"Hi."
Sam narrowed his eyes at his brother. "You've been in there forever." He complained to his older brother.
Dean held up three IDs in his hand. "You can't rush perfection."
"Homeland Security?" Sam said as he took one of the IDs from his brother. "That's pretty illegal, even for us."
"Yeah, well, it's something new. You know? People haven't seen it a thousand times." Dean said with a shrug of his shoulders.
They got into the car.
Andi looked at him. "You know how much trouble we're gonna get into if we get into if we get caught?" Andi pursed her pink lips together into a thin line. "We're gonna have our arses thrown in jail and I might have my arse deported."
"Relax alright." Dean said looking back at her. "So what do you got?" Dean looked at his brother.
"Well, there's definitely EVP on the cockpit voice recorder." Sam said running a hand through his hair.
"Yeah?"
"Listen." Sam said as he pressed play on the tape which he had edited to pull the scratchy voice out.
"No survivors."
"No survivors? What's that supposed to mean? There were seven survivors." Dean said looking at his brother confused.
"Got me." Sam said shaking his head.
"So, what are you thinking? A haunted flight?"
"There's a long history of spirits and death omens on planes and ships, like phantom travelers."
Andi shuddered in the back seat. "Don't remind me. Made me afraid when I was a kid to get on a plane."
"Or remember flight 401?" Sam questioned softly.
"Right. The one that crashed, the airline salvaged some of its parts, put it in other planes, then the spirit of the pilot and copilot haunted those flights."
"Right." Sam nodded his head.
"Yep."
"Maybe we got a similar deal."
"Alright, so, no survivors, which one do you want talk to first?"
"Third on the list Max Jaffey." Sam said looking at his brother.
"Why him?" Andi asked leaning forward.
"Well, for one, he's from around here. And two, if anyone saw anything weird, he did."
"What makes you say that?" Dean asked looking at Sam.
"Well, I spoke to his mother. And she told me where to find him."
"That would explain it." Andi said with a nod of her head.
SPNSPN
Max walked between Sam and Dean with Andi behind them. "I don't understand. I already spoke with Homeland Security." Max said in confusion.
"Right." Dean said with a nod of his head. "Some new information has come up. So if you could just answer a couple questions…."
"Just before the plane went down, did you notice anything…. Unusual?" Sam asked looking at Max.
"Like what?" Max asked confused looking at the three of them.
"Strange lights, weird sounds maybe. Perhaps voices?" Andi said in a soft tone.
"No, nothing." Max said shaking his head.
"Mr. Joffey." Dean said looking at Max.
"Jaffey." Max said correcting Dean.
"Jaffey. You checked yourself in here, right?" Dean questioned, nodding his head.
Max nodded his head.
"Can I ask why?"
"I was a little stressed. I survived a plane crash."
"And was that what fully terrified you? Was that what you were afraid of?" Andi asked as she looked at him. She knew that there had to be something more that Max wasn't telling them. Something much deeper than being stressed out from surviving a plane crash.
"I… I don't want to talk about this anymore." Max said pushing his chair back. He didn't know who these people were, but they were starting to make him uncomfortable.
"See, I think maybe you did see something up there." Dean said as he leaned back in his chair looking at Max. "We need to know what."
Andi nodded her head looking at Max.
"No. No, I was… delusional. Seeing things."
"Seeing things? Sometimes seeing things… they are real." Andi said as she moved towards him. "Not all of them are delusions."
"It's okay." Sam said offering him a small smile. "Just tell us what you thought you saw, please." Sam knew right about now anything would help them at this time.
"There was… this… man. And, uh, he had these… eyes…. These, uh… black eyes. And I saw him… or I thought I saw him…."
"What?" Dean asked in confusion.
"He opened the emergency exit. But that's… that's impossible, right? I mean, I looked up. There's something like two tons of pressure on that door."
"That would be correct." Andi said with a nod of her head. She knew that with how many times she had flown in the air with her mother.
"This man, uh, did he seem to appear and disappear rapidly? It would look something like a mirage?" Sam questioned Max.
"What are you, nuts?" Max questioned looking at Sam looking at him like he had grown a second head.
Sam tilted his head to the side in confusion.
"He was a passenger. He was sitting right in front of me."
The three hunters exchanged a look with one another. Now that was something that they could start on.

Dean pulled the Impala up to a house.
"So here we are." Sam said looking at the house. "George Phelps, seat 20C."
"Hm… Man, I don't care how strong you are." Dean said as he got out of the car with Sam and Andi. "Even yoked up on PCP or something, no way you can open up an emergency door during a flight."
"Not if you're human. But maybe this guy George was something else." Sam mused thinking. "Some kind of creature, maybe, in human form."
"Does that look like a creature's lair to you?" Andi questioned jerking her head towards the house that they were in front of.
Sam looked at the perfectly ordinary house that was before them. No, it didn't look like a creature's lair to him at all, but then again, things never appeared as they seemed.
SPNSPN
Dean, Sam, and Andi sat across from George's wife.
Sam's eyes were glued onto the photo of George. "This is your late husband?" He asked softly looking at her.
"Yes, that was my George." Mrs. Phelps said softly wiping her eyes with a tissue looking at the photo fondly.
"And you said he was a… dentist?" Dean asked looking up at her.
"Mm-hm." She said with a nod of her head. "He was headed to a convention in Denver. Do you know that he was petrified to fly? For him to go like that…"
"How long were you married?" Sam asked in a soft tone trying to be nice about it and not to scare her with asking questions.
"Thirteen years."
Andi hummed looking up at Mrs. Phelps. "In all those years, Mrs. Phelps, did you ever see anything strange… him doing anything strange… out of the ordinary for him?" Andi asked lacing her fingers together on her lap.
"Well, uh… he had acid reflux, if that's what you mean." Mrs. Phelps said looking at Andi.
The three hunters looked at one another. This was a dead end bust. There was nothing here that was going to give them any information on what had happened on that flight.
SPNSPN
The three of them walked down the stairs.
"I mean it goes without saying. It just doesn't make any sense." Sam said shaking his head as he put his hands in his pockets.
"A middle-aged dentist with an ulcer is not exactly evil personified. You know what we need to do is get inside that NTSB warehouse, check out the wreckage." Dean said looking at them.
"Okay. But if we're gonna go that route, we'd better look the part."
Andi looked at him. "We're going shopping aren't we?" She said as she put her hands on her hips knowing that this was probably going to be one of their worst ideas ever.
Sam nodded his head.
SPNSPN
Andi rested against the Impala dressed to the nines in a three piece women's suit that she had from when she was overseas. She had a Lucky Strike cigarette held between her red painted lips as she waited for the two brothers. She took a drag from the cigarette as the two brothers stepped out of Mort's for Style dressed in crisp black suits with white shirts.
Sam adjusted his collar some trying to make it a little bit looser around his neck.
"Man, I look like one of the Blues Brothers." Dean complained as he looked at what he wore.
"No, you don't." Sam said rolling his eyes at his brother complaints about the suit that he wore.
Andi scoffed a bit shaking her head at the bickering that the two brothers were doing. There was nothing wrong with how they were dressed.
"You look more like a… seventh-grader at his first dance." Sam replied.
Andi laughed lightly as Dean looked at himself.
"I hate this thing."
"Hey. You want into that warehouse or not?"
The three of them got into the Impala as Dean started the Impala up.
"Of course I do. But it doesn't mean that I had to dress like this. Why doesn't she have to dress like this?"
"I already had my own suit." Andi said rolling her eyes. "Why would I buy a new suit when I had this one?" She shook her head at Dean's antics. Just because she already owned a suit didn't mean she had to buy a new one. This one she owned still fit her fairly well.
"She looks fine in the one that she has Dean." Sam said shaking his head. He didn't see the problem in the three piece suit that she had other than maybe it was a skirt instead of slacks. What if they had to get away and had to climb? It wasn't going to be an easy getaway for her then.
SPNSPN
The three of them entered showing their badges to the security guard who nodded their heads allowing them into the building. They walked along the wreckage.
Dean pulled out a homemade device, putting his earbuds in.
Sam looked at it in confusion. "What is that?"
"It's an EMF meter." Dean said looking at his brother. "Reads electromagnetic frequencies."
"Yeah, I know what an EMF meter is, but why does it look like a busted-up walkman?" Sam questioned his brother.
"Cause that's what I made it out of. It' homemade." Dean said with a grin.
"Yeah, I can see that."
His grin disappeared.
Andi shook her head. "That wasn't very nice of you to say that. Sometimes homemade items are better than the real thing." She said as she walked around the wreckage carefully trying not to trip since she was in high heels. Not only that it had been a while since she had been in heels last.
Dean ran his EMF meter over a piece of the wreckage that had yellow dust on it and it spiked. "Check out the emergency door handle." Dean said as he scratched at the yellow dust and got some on his hand. "What is this stuff?"
"One way to find out." Sam said as he scraped some yellow dust off into a bag.
"Well, I think we got what we need don't you think. Let's get that to a lab and look at it a little bit closer. What do you say?" Andi said with a smile.
Sam nodded his head. "I agree with you there."
The three of them peered around the corner before walking out casually. The alarm began blaring alerting them that their cover had been blown.
Sam grabbed Andi's hand as the three of them took off into a sprint running toward the gated exit.
Dean tore off his suit jacket, throwing it over the barbed wire topped fence and he quickly climbed over it.
Andi climbed over the fence next and jumped down causing Dean to catch her easily.
Sam climbed over next and jumped down.
Dean grabbed his jacket from the fence. "Well, these monkey suits do come in handy."
"Come on. We don't have bloody time." Andi said as she ran.
Dean and Sam followed after her.
SPNSPN
Jerry looked at the yellow stuff that Sam had collected from the emergency door handle from the airplane through a microscope. "Huh. This stuff is covered in sulfur."
"You're sure?" Sam asked Jerry.
Andi pushed herself up from the chair that she was sitting in.
"Take a look for yourself."
A loud bang came from outside of the office caused Andi to jump and turn her head towards the door quirking her eyebrow.
"You effin' piece of crap." A man cursed from outside of the room.
"If you guys will excuse me, I have an idiot to fire." Jerry said leaving the room.
Andi held her hands up. "Take your time."
Dean went over to the microscope to see what Jerry was talking about.
"Hey. Einstein. Yeah, you. What the heck you doing? Put the wrench down…"
Andi shook her head lightly letting out a soft breath as she leaned back some.
"Hm…" Dean said looking at it closely. "You know, there's not too many things that leave behind a sulfuric residue."
"Demonic possession?" Sam asked looking at his brother as he crossed his arms.
"Well that would explain how someone mortal would have the strength to open up the emergency hatch like that in the air." Andi said as she leaned against the table.
"If the guy was possessed, it's possible." Sam said with a nod of his head.
"This goes way beyond floating over a bed or barfing pea soup. I mean it's one thing to possess a person, but use them to take down an entire plane?" Dean said shaking his head.
"You ever heard of something like this before?" Sam asked looking at his brother.
"Never." Dean said shaking his head.
Andi shook her head when Sam looked at her. She never heard of a demon possessing someone to take a plane down.
SPNSPN
Sam, Dean, and Andi were sitting in the motel room. Dean and Andi were going through papers reading while Sam was reading something on his computer.
"So, every religion in every world culture has the concept of demons and demonic possessions, right? I mean Christians, Native American, Hindu, you name it." Sam said as he looked up from his computer screen.
"Yeah, but none of them describe anything like this." Dean said rubbing his mouth.
"Well, that's not exactly true. You see according to Japanese beliefs, certain demons are behind certain disasters, both natural and man-made. One causes earthquakes, another causes diseases."
"And this one causes plane crashes?" Dean said as he got up off of his bed. "Alright, so, what? We have a demon that's evolved with the times and found a way to ratchet up the body count?"
"Yeah. You know, who knows how many planes it's brought down before this one." Sam said thinking.
Dean snorted turning away from his younger brother.
"What?"
"I don't know, man." Dean said groaning. "This isn't our normal gig. I mean, demons, they don't want anything, just death and destruction for its own sake. This is a big deal. And I wish dad was here."
"Me too."
Andi threw something at him and then at Sam. "I happen to know something about demons alright. John taught me enough about them alright." Andi said scoffing a bit feeling a little bit upset that the boys didn't think that she knew enough about demons, but in her short amount of time working with John she learned pretty quick what demons were all about.
Dean's phone began to ring. He answered it. "Hello? Oh, hey, Jerry. Wha… Jerry, I'm sorry. What happened?"
Andi straightened up in her seat looking at Dean as she watched Dean pace back and forth.
"Where'd this happen?" Dean let out a soft scoff. "I'll try to ignore the irony in that. Nothing. Jerry, hang in there, all right? We'll catch up with you soon." He hung up his phone.
"Let me guess another plane crash?" Andi said getting up from her seat.
Dean nodded his head. "Yeah, let's go."
"Where?" Sam asked looking at his brother.
"Nazareth."
SPNSPN
Andi sat in the chair backwards resting her head against the back of it.
Jerry looked at what they had collected from the scene.
"Sulfur?" Dean questioned Jerry hoping that it was the same that they had collected from the previous scene.
Jerry nodded his head.
"Well, that's great. Alright, that's two plane crashes involving Chuck Lambert. This demon sound like it was after him." Dean said rubbing his mouth.
"With all due respect to Chuck, if that's the case, that would be the good news." Sam said getting up from the seat that he was sitting in.
"What's the bad news?" Dean asked looking at his brother.
"Chuck's plane went down exactly forty minutes into flight. And get this, so did flight 2485." Sam said running a hand through his hair.
"Forty minutes?" Jerry asked in confusion. "What does that mean?" He looked at the three hunters. He wanted to know the answer.
"It's a biblical numerology. You know like Noah's ark? It rained for forty days. The number means death." Andi explained as she leaned forward in her seat leaning against her arms. She knew that this was going to end up getting out of hand and it wasn't a good sign. They needed to stop it from happening again.
"I went back, and there have been six plane crashes over the last decade that all went down exactly forty minutes in." Sam explained to them.
"Any survivors?" Andi asked looking over at Sam.
"No. Or not until now, at least, not until flight 2485, for some reason. On the cockpit voice recorder, remember what the EVP said?"
"No survivors." Dean said remembering what it has said. Dean paced back and forth thinking. "It's going after all of the survivors. It's trying to finish the job."
"Meaning that we have to stop it." Andi said getting up from the chair that she was sitting on. "And we have to find out if the ones that flew and survived on that flight are planning on flying again."
SPNSPN
Dean drove down the road.
"Really? Well, thank you for taking our survey. And if you do plan to fly, please don't forget your friends at United Britannia Airlines. Thanks." Sam said as he hung up his phone. He let out a breath.
Andi leaned forward between the brothers leaning against the front seat. "Well?" She asked looking at the younger brother.
"That takes care of Blaine Sanderson and Dennis Holloway. They're not flying anytime soon."
"So our only wildcard is the flight attendant Amanda Walker." Dean said as he continued to drive down the road.
"Right. Her sister Karen said her flight leaves Indianapolis at eight pm. It's her first night back on the job." Sam explained to his brother and best friend.
"That sounds like just our luck." Dean said as he gripped the steering wheel as he drove.
"Dean, this is a five-hour drive, man, even with you behind the wheel."
"Call Amanda's cell phone again, see if we can't head her off at the pass."
"I already left her three voice messages. She must have turned her cell phone off."
"Hell I've even went as far as leaving her one." Andi said pursing her lips together.
Sam pursed his lips together. "God, we're never gonna make it."
"We'll make it."
"Don't be a Debbie-downer Sam." Andi said patting his arm with her hand as she leaned back in the seat as Dean's foot hit the accelerator.
SPNSPN
The three hunters rushed into the airport and began to check the departure board to see when Amanda's flight was leaving.
"Here." Andi's eyes locking onto the time. "They're boarding in thirty minutes."
"Okay." Dean said rubbing his mouth feeling a bit jittery. "We still have some cards to play. We need to find a phone." He walked over to the courtesy phone, hoping that he would be able to get a hold of Amanda and hoped that he would be able to stop her.
"Think he'll be able to stop her?" Andi asked looking up at Sam with her cognac eyes.
"We can only hope." Sam said softly looking down at her.
"Hi. Gate thirteen." Dean said into the phone. "I'm trying to contact an Amanda Walker. She's a flight attendant on flight, um. Flight 424."
"Amanda Walker, Amanda Walker, you have a phone call. White courtesy phone. Gate thirteen."
Dean took a breath hoping that Amanda would answer the phone. "Come on." He whispered, keeping his fingers crossed. "Miss Walker. Hi, this is Dr. James Hetfield from St. Francis Memorial Hospital. We have a Karen Walker here…. Nothing serious, just a minor car accident, but she is injured, so…." Dean stopped talking for a moment causing the two younger hunters to look at one another.
"I have a feeling that this is turning sideways." Andi said shaking her head, hoping that this wasn't the case.
"You what? Uh, well… there must be some mistake."
Sam walked over towards his brother brushing past Andi patting her arm as he walked by her. He wanted to try to hear to see if he could make out what Amanda was saying.
"Guilty as charged." Dean said trying to recover the conversation. "He's really sorry. Yes, but… he really needs to see you tonight, so… Don't be like that. Come on. The guy's a real mess. Really. It's pathetic." Dean ran a hand through his hair, hoping that Amanda would buy his lie. "Oh, yeah. No, no. Wait, Amanda. Amanda!"
Andi looked at Dean. "Let me guess. She's on her way to the plane."
Dean groaned nodding his head.
Andi took a breath. "Well so much for plan A working."
"Thank you for flying United Britannia Airlines."
"Alright, it's time for plan B. We're getting on that plane." Sam said looking at them.
"I agree with that plan wholeheartedly." Andi said with a nod of her head. She wasn't about to let anyone die on their watch.
"Whoa, whoa, now just hold on a second." Dean said looking at them with wide eyes.
"Dean, that plane is leaving with over a hundred passengers on board, and if we're right, that plane is gonna crash." Sam said looking at his brother wondering why his brother was giving them the wide eyed deer in the headlights look.
"I know." Dean said swallowing the lump in his throat.
"Okay." Andi said looking at Dean quirking an eyebrow. "So we're gonna get onto that plane. We need to find the demon and exorcise it."
"I'll go get the tickets." Sam said with a nod of his head. "You two go get whatever you can out of the trunk. Whatever that will make it through the security. Meet me back here in five minutes."
"You got it Sam." Andi said with a nod of her head turning on her heel, but saw Dean looking around anxiously and then looking anxiously at his brother.
"Are you okay?" Sam asked his brother genuinely concerned about his brother.
"No, not really." Dean said shaking his head.
"What? What's wrong?"
"Well, I kind of have this problem with, uh…"
"Flying?" Andi and Sam said at the same time looking at Dean.
"It's never really been an issue until now." Dean complained looking at the two of them with wide eyes.
"You're joking right?" Sam questioned his brother his eyebrows shooting up his forehead.
Andi scoffed lightly. "And you yelled at me for having a fear of water." She shook her head lightly not liking the idea that Dean had yelled at her for having a fear of water and he had a fear of flying.
"Do I look like I'm joking? Why do you think I drive everywhere, Sam?" Dean questioned his younger brother.
"Alright. Andi and I will go."
"What?"
"Dean relax alright." Andi said putting her hand on Dean's shoulder. "We can do this on our own."
"What are you two nuts? You said it yourself, the plane's gonna crash." Dean said looking at them his eyes wide again.
"Dean, we can do it together as a group, or Andi and I can do it together. I'm not seeing a third option, here." Sam said getting a little agitated with his brother.
"Come on! Really? Man…."
"Just chill Dean." Andi said patting his arm. "If you're getting on. You're gonna have to relax. Or you'll end up going into a full blown panic attack and that's one thing that you don't want to end up doing. Trust me on this."
Dean nodded his head firmly knowing that Andi was probably right with what she was saying since she had flown a few times.

"Flight attendants, please cross-check doors before departure."
Dean sat in the aisle seat next to Andi reading the safety card anxiously.
"Just try to relax." Sam said looking over Andi's head at his older brother.
"Just try to shut up." Dean grumbled at his older brother. Just as the plane took off Dean's hand shot down clamping down on Andi's causing her to wince.
"Dean…" Andi said looking over at him.
Dean took deep breaths jumping at every rumble.
Sam smirked at his brother's discomfort.
"Dean…. Can I have my hand back?" Andi said looking at him.
Dean's hold loosened up some.
Andi took a breath. "Thank you." She said moving her hand out from under his. She moved her hand trying to get the circulation back in her hand. "Wow… I have to admit." She looked over at him as she kept moving her hand trying to get feeling back into it. "You certainly do have a killer hold when you're scared."
"Shut up." Dean mumbled not looking over at her.
Andi and Sam looked over at one another sharing a look. They knew that Dean was scared, but he really did need to calm down or something worse would happen.
Dean leaned back in his seat closing his eyes humming.
Sam looked over at his brother catching the tune that his brother was humming. "You're humming Metallica?"
"Calms me down." Dean said not looking at his brother keeping his eyes closed.
"Look, man, I get you're nervous, alright? But you gotta stay focused." Sam said to his brother, hoping that it would calm him down.
"Okay."
"I mean, we got thirty-two minutes and counting to track this thing down, or whoever it's possessing, anyway, and perform a full-on exorcism."
"Yeah, on a crowded plane. That's gonna be easy." Dean grumbled.
"Just take it one step at a time." Andi said looking up. "Now, let's figure out who it is possessing."
"It's usually gonna be somebody with some sort of weakness, you know, a chink in the armor that the demon can work through. Somebody with an addiction or some sort of emotional distress." Dean said thinking of how a demon could get in.
"Well, this is Amanda's first flight after the crash. If I were her, I'd be pretty messed up." Sam said thinking about Amanda.
Dean nodded his head. He turned his head to a flight attendant. "Excuse me. Are you Amanda?"
"No, I'm not."
"Oh, my mistake." Dean said softly. He looked towards the back of the plane seeing Amanda at the back. "Alright, well, that's got to be Amanda back there, so I'll go talk to her, and, uh, I'll get a read on her mental state."
"What if she's already possessed?" Andi said looking at Dean. "Then what's the bright idea Dean?"
"There's ways to test that." Dean said looking at her going through his bag pulling out a Virgin Mary shaped bottle of water. "I bought holy water."
"No." Sam said shaking his head. He snatched the bottle from his brother. "I think we can go more subtle. If she's possessed, she'll flinch at the name of God."
"Oh. Nice." Dean said getting up.
"Hey."
"What?" Dean said turning and looking back at his brother.
"Say it in Latin."
"I know." Dean said as he turned again to go down the aisle.
"Okay. Hey!"
"What?!" Dean said turning around looking at his brother again in agitation.
"Uh, in Latin, it's Christo."
"Dude, I know! I'm not an idiot."
Andi rolled her eyes. "Sometimes makes me wonder." Andi muttered under her breath.
Dean made his way back towards the back of the plane.
Sam leaned back in his seat.
"You know I think you did that on purpose." Andi said looking over at Sam with a coy smile on her lips.
Sam looked over at her with a small smile on his lips. A chuckle left his parted lips. "Oh what makes you say that?"
"You wanted a row with him so he would forget his fear for just a few moments so he can focus on the case."
Sam looked over at her a twinkle was in his hazel eyes. "Ah you figured it out."
Andi shook her head laughing lightly. "It wasn't hard to figure it out." She leaned her head back against the back of the seat. "Better to have him rowed up then having him scared. That demon… might feed off of the fear and might go after Dean… and that's one thing that we don't want."
Sam nodded his head. "Yeah that's what I was thinking."
"Alright, well, she's got to be one of the most well-adjusted person on the planet." Dean said sitting down in his seat.
"You said Christo?" Sam asked making sure that his older brother did say it.
"Yeah."
"And?"
"There's no demon in her. There's no demon getting in her." Dean said shaking his head.
"So, if it's on the plane, it can be anyone. Anywhere." Sam said pursing his lips.
"Which makes our job that much harder." Andi said closing her eyes in thought.
The plane shook.
"Come on! That can't be normal!"
"Hey, hey, it's just a little turbulence." Sam said trying to calm his brother.
"It's normal Dean. All planes hit turbulence." Andi said looking at him.
"Guys, this plane is going to crash, okay? So quit trying to treat me like I'm friggin' four." He said narrowing his green eyes at them.
Andi rose her hands up in the air. "Geez. No need to be an ass."
"You need to calm down." Sam said looking at his brother.
"Well, I'm sorry I can't."
"Yes, you can." Sam said giving his brother a look.
"Dude, stow the touchy-feely, self-help yoga crap, it's not helping."
Andi groaned. "Listen." She said turning and looking at him. "You panicking, you're wide open for demonic possession. That's what Sam's trying to keep from happening to you. So you need to calm your arse down right now."
Dean took a deep breath through his nose slowly closing his eyes.
"Good. Now, I found an exorcism in here that I think is gonna work. The Rituale Romanum." Sam said looking at John's journal.
Andi looked at Sam with wide eyes. "Sam are you certain that you want to use that one." She was worried about that exorcism. It was a fairly dangerous one. After all of her years that one was probably the worst one to use while they were up in the air.
"Andi shush." Dean said looking at her. "What do we have to do?"
Andi crossed her arms letting out a huff. She didn't like being told to shut up.
"It's two parts. The first part expels the demon from the victim's body. It makes it manifest, which actually makes it more powerful."
"More powerful?"
"Yeah?"
"How?"
"Well, it doesn't need to possess someone anymore. It can just wreak havoc on its own."
"Oh. And why is that a good thing?"
"Well, because the second part sends the bastard back to hell once and for all." Sam explained to his brother.
"And it is one of the most dangerous exorcisms that you could ever perform Sam." Andi said looking at the younger Winchester brother. "Your father wasn't insane to ever use that one. Never."
Dean took a breath. "Alright." Dean closed his eyes before opening them. "First things first, we got to find it."
Andi let out a soft sigh. Of course they weren't going to listen to her. "Fine we got work to do. I'll look towards the back of the plane. See if I can find anything." She said as she got up.
"I think she's upset about us using this one exorcism." Dean said as he got up on shaky legs.
"We don't have much of a choice Dean. We don't have a lot of time to work with. This plane is going to go down if we don't get this demon back to Hell."
Dean nodded his head.

Dean walked slowly with his EMF meter trying to get a reading, but he wasn't having much luck with getting any readings, just a bunch of odd looks.
Sam came up behind him clapping his hand on his brother's shoulder causing Dean to jump.
"Don't do that." Dean said swiveling around narrowing his eyes at his brother.
"Anything?"
"No, nothing. How much time we got?" Dean asked hoping that they still had some time to find this demon and get it the hell out of the plane before it went down and killed everyone on board.
Andi came up to them. "We only have fifteen minutes left. We only have the pilots left. Think the demon maybe went after them?"
"Maybe the thing's just not on the plane?" Dean asked hopeful that maybe they were just wrong on this case at this time.
"You believe that?" Sam questioned his brother quirking an eyebrow.
"Well, I will if you two will." Dean looked down as the EMF meter spiked as the co-pilot exited the bathroom and headed towards the cockpit.
"What? What is it?" Sam asked his brother.
"Christo."Dean said looking at the copilot.
The copilot looked at them and his eyes were black. He then turned and walked into the cockpit.
Dean looked at Sam and Andi.
"Shite." Andi said letting out a soft sigh. "I was really hoping that I was wrong about it going after one of the pilots."
"Well it turned out that you were right." Sam said looking at her.
"And I hate being right."
Dean pushed the two of them back towards the back of the plane. "Come on."
"She's not gonna believe this." Sam said looking back at his brother as Dean continued to push them towards the back of the plane.
"Twelve minutes." Dean reminded them.
"We don't have much of a choice." Andi said to Sam. "We have to try something."
Amanda turned and saw the three hunters standing there. "Oh, hi." She said offering them a smile. "Flight's not too bumpy for you, I hope."
"Actually, that's kind of what we need to talk to you about." Dean said to her hoping that she would believe them with what they were about to say. Maybe just maybe they would be able to get out of this alive.
Sam closed the curtain so no one could see what they were talking about.
Andi pursed her lips together.
"Um, okay. What can I do for you?" Amanda asked looking at the three hunters in confusion.
"Just do it Dean. We don't have a lot of time." Andi said looking at Dean.
Dean nodded his head knowing that was the case. They really didn't have a lot of time left. "Alright." He rubbed his mouth with his hand. "This is gonna sound nuts, but we just don't have time for the whole 'the truth is out there' speech right now."
"Alright, look, we know you were on flight 2485." Sam said cutting to the chase that his brother wasn't getting to.
Amanda's smile disappeared quickly. How did they know that? "Who are you guys?"
"Now, we've spoken to some of the other survivors. We know something brought down that plane and it wasn't mechanical failure." Sam said putting his hands in his pockets.
"We need your help because we need to stop it from happening again. Here. Now." Dean said to her softly trying to keep her calm.
"I'm sorry, I… I'm very busy. I have to go back…" She tried to walk past Dean, but he stopped her.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a second. I'm not gonna hurt you, okay? But listen to me, uh… The pilot in 2485, Chuck Lambert. He's dead."
"Wait. What?" Amanda said looking at him with wide eyes. "Chuck's dead?"
"He died in a plane crash." Dean said looking at her. "Now, that's two plane crashes in two months. That doesn't strike you as strange?"
"I…."
"Listen." Andi said in a soft voice causing Amanda to look at her with wide eyes. "There was something wrong with 2485. Now maybe you sensed it, maybe you didn't. But there is something wrong with this one too."
"Amanda, you have to believe us." Dean said pleading with her.
"On… on 2485, these was this man. He… had these eyes." Amanda said remembering what had happened on the flight.
"Yes. That's exactly what we're talking about." Sam said with a nod of his head.
"I don't understand, what are you asking me to do?" Amanda asked looking at the three of them.
"Okay. The copilot, we need you to bring him back here." Dean explained to her, hoping that she would bring him back here.
"Why? What does he have to do with anything?" Amanda asked in confusion.
"Don't have time to explain. We just need to talk to him. Okay?"
"How am I supposed to go in the cockpit and get the copilot…"
"Do whatever it takes. Tell him there's something broken back here, whatever will get him out of that cockpit." Sam said looking at her.
Andi nodded her head. "That actually would work."
"Do you know that I could lose my job if you…"
"Okay, well you're gonna lose a lot more if you don't help us out." Dean said looking at her dead in the eyes.
"We all will." Andi said with a nod of her head.
Amanda hesitated looking at the three of them. "Okay." She said before leaving the three of them.
"I hope this works. Because I'm not about to die on a plane." Andi said looking at the boys. "And that exorcism that you boys want to do… whatever you do… don't stop. No chit chatting with the demon. Just continue."
Sam and Dean nodded their heads.
Andi took a breath through her nose.
Sam pulled the holy water out of his hoodie he wore handing it to Andi.
"Thanks." She said holding onto it tightly in her hands.
Dean took the journal out of his pocket handing it to Sam.
Sam opened the journal.
The copilot entered the back. "Yeah, what's the problem?" He asked looking at them.
Dean punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground. He pinned him down and duct taped his mouth.
"Wait. What are you doing? You said you were going to talk to him." Amanda said looking at the three of them in shock.
Andi splashed the holy water on him causing his skin to sizzle.
"We are gonna talk to him." Dean said looking at her.
"Oh, my god. What's wrong with him?" Amanda gasped, looking on in shock.
"Look. We need you calm. We need you outside of the curtain." Sam told her.
"Well, I don't underst… I don't know…."
"Listen just don't let anyone back here. Can you do that? Amanda! Can you do that?" Andi said looking at her.
"Yes." She said slipping back into the front moving the curtain.
Andi closed her eyes. "You better hurry up Sam."
"I don't know how much longer I can hold him Sammy." Dean said pushing him down.
"Regna tarrae, cantate Deo, psallite Domino…"
The demon broke free hitting all three of them to the ground.
Andi tumbled into aisle.
Dean was able to tackle him back to the ground.
"Per caelum antquos."
The demon knocked Dean off of him again ripping the duct tape off of his mouth before grabbing Sam by his collar. "I know what happened to your girlfriend! She must have died screaming! Even now, she's burning!"
Dean recovered quickly hitting the demon.
Sam sat there stunned.
"Sam!" Dean yelled.
"Giori Patri." Sam finished putting the book down and helped Dean hold down the demon who kicked the book up the aisle landing near Andi. "I got him."
The demon exited the body and disappeared into the air vent.
"Where'd it go?"
"It's in the plane. Hurry up. We got to finish it."
The plane dipped suddenly and heaved violently.
Andi struggled retrieving the book.
Dean sprawled himself against the door.
"Got it!" Andi yelled alerting the boys that she had gotten the journal. "Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica. Ergo, omnis legio diabolica, adiuramus te...cessa decipere humanas creaturas, eisque æternæ perditionìs venenum propinare...Vade, satana, inventor et magister omnis fallaciæ, hostis humanæ salutis...Humiliare sub potenti manu Dei; contremisce et effuge, invocato a nobis sancto et terribili nomine...quem inferi tremunt...Ab insidiis diaboli, libera nos, Domine. Ut Ecclesiam tuam secura tibi facias libertate servire, te rogamus, audi nos." Andi slumped back as the plane leveled out.
Dean came out from behind the curtain looking a bit green.
Sam got up to his feet and walked over to Andi holding out his hand out to her.
Andi took his hand and he hoisted her up to her feet.
"You alright?" Sam asked looking her over to see if she had any marks on her.
"I'm fine." She stated looking at him.

Andi, Sam, and Dean stood outside watching making sure that everyone was fine off of the plane and being well taken care of. They saw Amanda mouth a thank you making them nod their heads.
Dean looked at the two of them. "Let's get out of here." Dean said jerking his head towards the exit.
The three of them began to walk towards the exit.
"You okay?" Dean asked his little brother.
Sam stopped and turned looking at his brother. "Dean, it knew about Jessica."
"Sam, these things, they, they read minds. They lie. Alright? That's all it was." Dean said looking at his little brother with a concerned look.
"Yeah." Sam said letting out a soft breath thinking about what the demon had said.
"Come on."
"Sam." Andi said softly.
Sam looked at her with a sad expression.
Andi looped her arm with hers and walked with him. "Don't think too much with what the demon said alright. It's not our job to chit chat with them. Most of them are barmy son of a bitches." Andi said in a light tone trying to lighten his mood. She would do anything to lighten his mood.
Sam gave her a sad smile as they walked towards the Impala. His heart ached wondering if what the demon said was really true.

Jerry walked with the three hunters at the airport that he worked at. "Nobody knows what you guys did, but I do. A lot of people could have been killed." He shook each of their hands with a smile on his face. He was glad that he had actually called them in. "Your dad's gonna be real proud."
"We'll see you around, Jerry." Sam said with a small smile.
Dean began to walk away with Andi and Sam when he stopped in his tracks causing his brother and Andi to stop in their tracks as well. "You know, Jerry."
"Yeah?" Jerry asked looking at him with a curious look wondering what the older Winchester brother wanted.
"I meant to ask you, how did you get my cell phone number, anyway? I've only had it for like six months."
"Your dad gave it to me."
"What?" Sam asked in confusion. It wasn't possible no one had heard from him in a while.
"When did you talk to him?" Dean asked wondering when Jerry could have heard from him.
Andi looked at Jerry in curiosity wondering when he could've heard from John because the three hunters hadn't heard from John in a while. Andi certainly hadn't heard from him since he had left her in that motel in Jericho California.
"I mean, I didn't exactly talk to him, but I called his number. His voice message said to give you a call. Thanks again, guys." Jerry said leaving the three of them to return to his work.
Sam looked at his brother. "This doesn't make any sense, man. I've called Dad's number like fifty times. It's been out of service."
Dean dialed a number and put it onto speaker so Sam could hear it too.
"This is John Winchester. I can't be reached. If this is an emergency, call my son, Dean. 7855-555-0179. He can help."
Sam got into the car fuming.
Andi and Dean looked at one another before getting into the car.
Dean started the car up and began to drive down the road.
"John must have a reason for putting you on his voice message now." Andi said softly. "And he must have a reason now for not having the number that you have Sam out of service."
"And had no reason of telling me the number?" Sam snapped at Andi looking back at her.
Andi let out a soft sigh. "Sam I don't have that number either. So we're in the same boat." She took a Lucky Strike out and gave it to him. "Here take it calm your nerves." She let out a soft breath. She knew that this wasn't easy for Sam, hell it wasn't easy on anyone.
Sam took it from her. "Thanks." He said softly lighting it up and taking a drag from it.
Andi let out a soft sigh. "There has to be a reason why John's not answering his phone and having us do all the cases of people who call him." Andi shook her head before running a hand through her hair.
"Sure you still want to help us find him?" Dean asked looking back at her through the rearview mirror. "I mean you catch a flight out of here and go back home." Dean was unsure if she wanted to go home, but if she did he and Sam weren't going to stop her from leaving.
Andi gave him a look of the are you kidding me. "Really? After what we just dealt with on that plane… what makes you think I'm going to set foot on a plane right now? I'm not going to get on a plane anytime soon."
"Admit it you're scared to fly again." Dean said looking at her.
"Not scared to. Just don't want to. Turbulence was bad enough." Andi said shaking her head in disdain. "I don't want to deal with my mum either. Things are… Well… I rather not go into that right now." She crossed her arms leaning back not really wanting to go into the story of why she didn't want to return home. Things were tense with her mom and she wanted to stay away from that for a little while longer.
Sam looked back at her and saw a look on Andi's face and couldn't understand why she had an upset look on her face. There had to be something going on between her and her mother that she was hiding and it wasn't good. But Sam knew it wasn't a good idea to pry. But whatever it was he had a feeling it was a good reason Andi kept it hidden.
