Dean, Sam, and Xander had run out of Los Angeles like a bat of out of hell. No time to say goodbye to friends and no time to really get their shit together. They simply leapt into the Impala, put the pedal to the floor, and were gone.
Dean didn’t want to leave, but knew it was wiser to run than fight an angel of the Lord right now.
Operation Saving Private Cas started the second the elder Winchester brother got Missouri Mosely to answer her phone and told her they were coming.
She replied: “I already knew that, boy.” and hung up on him.
Dean then called Amelia Novak and lied through his teeth until he convinced the woman to overnight them some of Jimmy's clothes to the hotel they were planning to stay at in Lawrence. She resisted at first, hung up on Dean as well...and then called him back as they were well on their way through Utah to tell him she was giving in.
Then they spent most of the ride up I-15 to I-70 teaching Xander what he needed to know in making hex bags that warded off both angels and demons and the types of proofing both brothers knew between themselves. They shared notes on who to trust, who not to trust, and told him everything concerning the 66 seals (Dean keeping his mouth shut about the first and Sam somberly saying very little about the last), what happened in the Green Room and Maryland, and Zachariah’s agenda.
It was weird at first driving with an extra body in tow. It was not often the Winchester brothers had a passenger. There was now one more mouth to feed, an extra body to bed, and another opinion when it came to the music.
Dean didn’t care if Xander liked his rock music or not. And to save on expenses, they rotated seats so that each man got a turn to drive while the others slept. It wasn’t the best idea in the world, but it got them away from the Foundation Head Quarters and Zachariah quicker and that much of a head start on finding Cas.
They turned off the I-70 exit to Lawrence, Kansas, the following day. Sam pulled into a hotel for all parties to shower, dress, nap, and pick up their package before arriving at Miss. Mosely’s humble home on the outskirt of town later that evening when her business hours were done.
She shooed her last costumer out the door while all three men sat in her foyer on the narrow wooden bench, muttering how the girl the poor sap was pining for was going to shoot him down for Homecoming. Missouri put her hands on her hips and turned to face the three men waiting on her.
Missouri passed an appraising gaze with no warmth in it at all over both Winchester brothers before offering a warm smile to Xander.
“Hello, Xander Harris.” She offered her hand. “I’m Missouri Mosely. I’m sure the boys have told you about me.”
