Chapter 12

John fought his way back to consciousness through a crowd of familiar faces, most long dead but still haunting his dreams. Lives he had to take, lives which were taken from him, a long parade of the dead with their eyes fixed on him, hard and accusing. Jessica was there, too.

Chapter 11

Cute? Harold didn't peg Dean as a man who would describe anything as cute. And the younger Winchester brother was the last thing coming to mind for being cute.

However, when Harold stole a glance around Dean, who still stood there with a rather amused expression, he had to admit that cute was the right word.

Chapter 10

For a long moment nobody moved.

Lost for words Harold stood there, eyes fixed on Rachel's dead form. She looked human now but he would need time to convince himself he hadn't seen what he thought he saw. Because that was impossible.

"Keys." Dean demanded, holding his hand out to Harold while he absently hung the phone back up.

"What?" Still dumbfounded by the suddenly dead line Harold blinked up at him.

"Give me the keys. We take your car." Dean repeated, now looming over Harold, just seconds from forcefully taking what he wanted, Harold had no doubt. "I'm driving."

Chapter 7

"Mr. Reese?" Harold tried again but was only met with silence. "Mr. Reese, what happened over there?" He knew it was a silly question but he asked anyway. The silence became unnerving and cold dread clumped in his stomach.

Their job was dangerous, Mr. Reese's more than Harold's but Harold never got used to things like this. Somehow the not ( Read more... )

Chapter 6

Harold was busy. He was always busy when a number came up but this one turned out to require more of his time than others. He had to go through the personal life of the people working with Ms. Martin, her patients and of course he had to find out everything there was to know about Ms. Martin herself. Which turned out to be more difficult ( Read more... )

Chapter 5

Harold caught another call from Dean to Sam in which Dean admitted he'd lost John and was now heading for Rachel's place.

"Shall I pick you up first?" Dean asked and from a safe distance John watched him coming out of the building.

"Think you need me there?" Sam asked back. "I'm on to something here."

"Somehow I doubt she's going to be there ( Read more... )

Chapter 4

They sat in stunned silence for a moment.

"When was that?" John finally asked. Something like this usually made big news but he'd missed it completely.

"Almost two years ago." Harold answered.

John nodded to that, two years ago he hadn't been in the mood to pay attention to anything aside from his bottle. Maybe a place to sleep but farther ( Read more... )

Chapter 3

Nash and Hudson, if those were their real names which John highly doubted, weren't hard to find. He had gotten the connection to their phones earlier so Finch didn't have a problem tracking them.

John entered the diner and spotted his targets in the far corner. Hudson sat with his back to the wall from where he had the whole diner in view ( Read more... )
