SPN AU: All The Sinners Saints 1/1
SUMMARY: Continuation (with permission) of ramblin_rosie's story The Nature Of My Game. All-human AU where Demon Blood is a drug, Lilith and Lucifer are human, and the Winchesters are working with the Feds to put them down. What makes a new threat rise from their midst?
Dean shot Hendrickson a grateful smile as he left the room to go and be with his ailing brother help him through the long weeks ahead.
Hendrickson leaned against the door for a moment and then smiled as he turned to face his partner. "That's that, then."
"Good job, Victor," his partner smiled. "Lull the Winchesters into a sense of security and then strike."
"Strike? What do you mean, strike?"
"Arrest that younger boy, of course! Bring him up on federal murder charges! Oh don't give me that look, Victor! I know what you were doing - you were just saying that stuff about amnesty to get what we needed and then we slap that boy with the murder of our eight brothers!"
"What the hell? No, Gordon, I meant every word I said! It was all undercover and you know what Demon Blood does! There's a reason it's called Demon Blood! It raises aggression by the force of a million and erases all judgment!"
Gordon Walker shrugged. "Still killed eight Feds, Victor. He's going down."
"That was friendly fire and you know it. Cordova's fingers were in every cartel on two continents and we had to go to extremes to get him! And we got the bastard thanks to the Winchesters! 'Lucifer' 'Diablo' Cordova is never going to hurt anyone again - and Sam Winchester is paying a hell of a price already! No, I meant it - Sam Winchester is acquitted of any and all crimes he committed undercover and under the Demon Blood."
"Says you."
"Yeah, Gordon - says me. And says the governor. And the DOJ and the President himself! That boy is acquitted, Gordon! Full! Pardons!"
"And the families?" Walker growled, snapping to his feet. "What the hell are you going to tell those families? Davis had a wife and two children! Marcus had a boyfriend who was going to pick her up at the airport! Fierelli--"
"Exactly what I just told you! Friendly! Fire! The families have all been notified, Gordon - and all but Lowell's have picked up the bodies. Lowell's family is flying in from England to bury him there."
Walker shook his head. "You've gone crazy, Victor. If you think for one second that boy is going to escape justice--"
"He served justice, he's not escaping anything! Thanks to him hundreds - millions of people aren't going to be affected by Cordova's poison any more!"
"Thanks to him, eight Feds are dead! Or don't you care about that?"
"I care about them! I also know that they went into this knowing full well that their lives were at risk! And look at the balance, Gordon - eight lives lost versus the thousands that have been saved!"
Walker glared at him. "Sam Winchester is responsible for the deaths of eight Federal officers. He deserves nothing less than the death penalty for that."
"And you call me insane? Gordon, listen to yourself!"
"And I will make certain justice is served."
"Don't do this, Gordon. You walk out that door with that mindset and you've set yourself against the entire machine, here!"
Walker shook his head and put his hand on the knob. "I'm serving a higher purpose, here, Victor. You and the rest of these cowards don't give a shit about the eight lives. I do, and they will be avenged."
"Gordon!" Hendrickson snarled. "You do this and I swear by all I hold holy that you will go down!"
"I've no doubt of that," Walker said, glaring at him. "But the outcome will be the same. Sam Winchester killed eight Feds - and for that? Sam Winchester is going to die."
Hendrickson stared mutely as the door slammed behind Walker. His fists clenched, then he picked up his cell. "Get me Willis - Walker has snapped."
