Chapter 13
*~Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Dark Angel or Supernatural characters. For this fic I changed the DA time line. The pulse has already hit and Ben and Alec are out of Manticore in 2009. The characters of Lexi, Jake and Jackie are from a Supernatural AU Verse 'The Ties That Bind' that I write. Even though the original characters are from an AU Verse, reading the AU Verse is not necessary. This is a sequel to Horseshoes and Hand Grenades. I hope you like it. Reviews would be great.~*
Victor waits until Renfro is long gone before leaving himself. He gets into his car, drives to the nearest restaurant and goes inside. He sits in a corner booth in the back of the restaurant, then pulls out a burner cell to call Dean. He picks up on the third ring. “Hey Clyde, we got a serious problem.”
“Man, do you ever have good news for me?”
“Sorry not this time. Heads up, woman from Manticore named Renfro’s looking for Bonnie. Gave me some cock and bull story about reopening the St. Louis case. Said you faked your death and she’s having the body in St. Louis exhumed to prove it.”
“Shit. Well, ain’t that awesome news. Anything else?”
“Not right now. Listen Clyde, you and Bonnie keep your heads down. Call me if you need anything.”
“Yeah, we will.”
Dean hangs up the phone and sighs. He looks out the kitchen window eyes sweeping across the courtyard landing on Lexi and the boys. Ben and Alec are riding their bikes while Lexi pushes Jake in the swing he had put up yesterday. From where he’s standing he can hear Jake’s laughter as he tells Lexi to push him higher. Dean’s stomach clenches at the thought that this Renfro woman is closing in. His first instinct is to grab his family and run but he knows Lexi is right. They can’t run forever. They’ll always be looking over their shoulder and eventually, Manticore will find them. Dean doesn’t want to drag his kids from place to place like John did to him and Sam. This is it. No more hiding. No more running. It’s time to make their stand.
Stella’s insistent babbling pulls Dean out of his thoughts. He turns to look at her as she gets louder and louder. At the moment Stella’s in her bouncer attempting to pull off the stuffed monkey that’s hanging down in front of her. She tugs on the toy, her babbling taking on a frustrated tone. Dean raises his eyebrow in amusement as he watches his daughter. The determined expression on her face is all Lexi and Dean knows he’s in for it when she’s a teenager. He crosses the room, kneels down and unhooks the stuffed monkey. He hands it to Stella, his heart doing this little jumpy thing when she grins at him and says, ‘Dada.’ In that moment all Dean wants to do is grab Stella from the bouncer, pack his family up and take off. But he knows he can’t no matter how much he wants to protect them, especially his little girl. Dean takes her out of the bouncer and holds her close. He kisses her cheek saying softly, “Hey Sweet pea, you wanna go outside and see Mommy and your brothers?”
Dean goes out in the yard with Stella, grabs a patio chair and puts it in the shade before sitting down. He holds his little girl close to his chest singing softly to her in an attempt to get her to stop fussing. Stella quiets down, her little hand clutching his worn t-shirt and Dean can’t help but smile. Her little fist holding on tight to his shirt is so reminiscent of her mother. Dean can’t count how many times he’s woken up in the middle of the night to find Lexi clutching a fistful of his shirt during one of her nightmares. He’s sighs hoping his kids will never be plagued by the nightmares him and Lexi have.
He watches Lexi and the boys wondering whether or not they’re selfish for having a family. Hunting is no life for a kid. He knows that first hand, hell he never got to be a kid. Dean doesn’t want the childhood he had for his kids. He’s trying so damn hard to make sure that doesn’t happen but Dean’s not sure how long him and Lexi can protect them from the reality of their life. Now with this Manticore woman searching for Lexi and trying to prove he faked his death, the shit’s about to hit the fan. Again. It’s just one more thing on a very long list of reasons why they’ll never lead a normal life.
After a few minutes, Lexi helps Jake off the swing and heads over to join Dean in the shade. She leans down pressing a soft kiss to his lips before grabbing her own chair. She sits down glancing at Dean, then the boys and back to Dean. She takes notice of Dean’s expression. His jaw his clenched, eyes full of worry. “Dean, what’s wrong?” She asks quietly.
“Nothing.” Dean replies.
“I know you. I know you better than anyone…” Lexi states gently while laying her hand on his knee. “Which means I know that you’re lying.”
He gives a shake of his head eyes downcast as he says, “Lex…”
“Is it Manticore?”
Dean turns to look at his wife then nods. “Victor called. Some woman named Renfro is looking for you.”
“I see. Anything else?”
“Yeah. She told him she thinks I faked my death and is having the body in St. Louis exhumed.”
Lexi watches their three boys play for a beat then states, “And you think she’s coming here to find me.”
“Yes.”
“Well, let her find me. I’ll make it real easy for her. I’ll get my job back at the hospital. It’s the first place she’s going to look.”
“No, Lex.”
“Why not?”
“Uh, cuz it’s dangerous.”
“I’m done hiding. You said you were with me on this, on making a stand. This is where we do it. Dean, we’ve faced worse than this. They’re gonna keep coming after us no matter where we are. She’s only one person.”
“You’re okay with killing her?” Dean asks not bothering to hide his surprise.
“She’s a part of the organization that experimented on and tortured kids. That’s a monster in my book. Last time I checked Dean, we kill monsters.”
“I don’t like it but okay. You go back to the hospital and we’ll take care of this Renfro woman.”
Two Weeks Later
Dean heads straight to the garage to work on the Impala as soon as he gets the kids fed. He grabs the baby monitor even though Sam’s staying home today to do research. Sam’s determined to get intel on Renfro and Manticore which means his baby sitting skills are gonna be subpar. Dean knows all too well how his little brother will focus on the task at hand and not even blink if the house was burning down.
Dean stops on his way out of the kitchen and cards his fingers through Ben’s hair. He tells Ben and Alec he’ll be out in the garage and to come get him if they need anything. The boys nod both saying okay. He looks over at Stella in her bouncer then gestures to the boys saying, “Keep an eye on your sister.”
Its late afternoon when Lexi walks into the garage carrying a beer for Dean. She finds him leaning over the hood of the Impala as he curses up a storm. Her eyes roam over him and she can't help but smirk. She'd be a liar if she said she isn't enjoying the view. “You thirsty, Dean?”
Dean straightens up then turns to look at her with a raised eyebrow. “How long you been standing there, Babe?”
“Long enough.” She smiles as she closes the distance between them.
He takes the beer she's holding and wiggles his eyebrows, “Oh, yeah, Lex? Like what you see?”
Lexi hooks her fingers into the belt loops of his jeans tugging him closer then tilts her head back to look up at Dean. “You know I do. Love when you're all covered in dirt and grease, or in a suit and tie or the priest get up...”
“Ya know, Lexi,” Dean chuckles, “you're kinda kinky. I like it.”
She stands on her toes, presses a quick kiss to his lips and replies with a wink, “I know you do.”
“Not for nothing Baby girl, last time you looked at me like that I got laid.”
Lexi grins at him, slides her hands under his t-shirt then says, “Yeah, well you're gonna get laid tonight.”
“Uh, thought we were out of condoms.” Dean replies casually before taking a swig of beer.
“We are but see working in a hospital has its perks. I might have lifted some boxes from planned parenthood.”
Dean throws his head back and laughs. Not just a little chuckle but a full body laugh. Leave it to his wife to steal condoms. He studies Lexi with a raised eyebrow to see if she's pulling his leg. She meets his eyes with a serious expression on her face and Dean realizes she's not kidding. “Wait. Lex, you seriously took a five finger discount on rubbers?”
“Yeah. You know since the pulse they’re hard to come by.”
Dean peers down at Lexi with a smirk saying, “How about me and you have a date night?”
“Tonight?”
“Yeah. When was the last time me and you went out alone?”
“Before the pulse.”
“Exactly. We’re way overdue. I’m gonna go get cleaned up. See if you can bribe Jackie into babysitting.”
An hour later Dean and Lexi walk the five and a half blocks to Snug Harbor hand in hand. He releases hold of her hand to grab the door and holds it open for her. They snag a table in the back corner of the bar and order two beers. Dean smiles to himself as he flips through the menu. He’s missed this place and not just because they have the best burgers in town. Snug Harbor is one of their old haunts going all the way back to when Lexi was in college.
Dean closes his menu then looks at Lexi. “You know what you want?”
“Yup. Cheeseburger, same as you.” She says while pulling out her cell phone. “I’m gonna call to check on the kids.”
“Lex, the kids are fine. C’mon it’s date night, we get to take a few hours off from being Mom and Dad. Put your cell away cuz right now we’re just Dean and Lexi.”
“Okay but once the band starts playing Dean is dancing with Lexi.”
They leave in the middle of the band’s second set. This time the five and half block walk takes a little longer as they make their way home. Lexi grabs Dean’s arm right before he opens the front gate. He glances down at her with an arched eyebrow while she whispers, “I’m not ready for date night to be over. Ya know once we go inside the kids are gonna be all over us.”
“What are ya thinking then, Lex?”
She stares up at him with a wolfish grin, her green eyes full of mischief. “Some Led Zeppelin and us in the back seat of the Impala.”
Dean reaches for Lexi pulling her close, his hands tangling in her long brown hair. He crushes his mouth to hers in a searing kiss. Lexi gasps against his lips while Dean drives his tongue into her mouth, curling around hers. The taste of Dean and whiskey floods her mouth as she returns his kiss eagerly. He pulls away suddenly, hands still in her hair and smirks, “Back seat now or we’re gonna be putting on a show for the neighbors.
Dean unlocks the Impala and opens the driver’s side backdoor for Lexi before he gets in the front. He turns the car on and pops Led Zeppelin IV into the tape deck then joins Lexi into the backseat. He pulls his t-shirt off tossing it into the front seat before grabbing the hem of Lexi's tank top. Dean pulls the material up slowly placing open mouth kisses to her exposed skin. Lexi shivers, fingers carding through Dean’s hair. He pulls her top over her head tossing it in the same direction of his shirt before nuzzling his face against her neck, “You smell so fucking good...”
Lexi smiles then slides her hand between them to palm him through his jeans. She kisses him softly sucking his bottom lip into her mouth then pulls away slightly. Lexi moves her hands down Dean’s chest resting them on his stomach before moving them to his belt. Her eyes never leaves his as she begins to slowly pull off his belt. Before Dean can protest, Lexi pops the button of his jeans and has his zipper undone.
Dean lifts his hips so she can push his pants and boxer briefs down. He closes his eyes as she wraps her hand wrap around his dick. He jerks into her hand while she licks at the hollow of his throat, her thumb rubbing the head of his cock. Dean digs his fingers into Lexi's hips while she holds his dick firmly, her delicate fingers moving along his shaft quickly. She leans forward to lick and suck his nipples the whole while applying pressure and pumping his dick with her right hand. Dean opens his eyes, he can't breathe, and he tries to focus on the tension building inside him. He can't even do that as he feels Lexi drag the fingers of her free hand along his balls.
She massages his balls, fingers rolling gently back and forth as she twists her hand on his dick. Dean moans low in his throat thrusting in her hand. She brushes her thumb against the head of his dick, squeezes and moves her hand faster. His breath hitches, he can feel the tension building steadily in his stomach, he isn't going to last much longer. Lexi nips at the sensitive spot behind his ear, squeezing and tugging his dick as he grips her hips harder. He closes his eyes, sucks in a deep breath then places his hand over Lexi’s stilling her movements.
“Lex, stop…”
She looks at him her eyebrow raised but stops before asking, “Something wrong?”
“No, baby, I wanna come inside of you not all over your hand.”
Dean reaches towards her letting his fingers trail over the black lace of Lexi’s bra before he begins tugging at her jeans. She lifts her hips to help him rid her of her jeans. He pulls the straps of her bra off her shoulders then places kisses along her collarbone. Dean continues kissing her moving up her neck to her jawline until his mouth is hovering at her ear. He lingers there, his hot breath sending shivers down her spine before he kisses his way to the spot behind her ear that drives Lexi crazy. Dean slides a hand up her back to unclasp her bra then tosses it towards the front of the car to join the rest of their clothes.
Dean surges forward, pushes her down onto the backseat and runs his hands slowly over her breasts, her stomach, her thighs then back up to her waist. His hands trace her curves, the softness of her skin intoxicating him. He grips her hips tight and pulls her flush to him. Dean presses his lips to hers biting down on her bottom lip as he pushes all the way into her in one hard stroke.
Lexi's eyes fly open in surprise, her mouth a perfect little O. She digs her nails into his back clinging tightly to him as he works up a hard steady rhythm. Neither one of them say a word. The only sound in the Impala is their hard breathing and the slap of skin on skin. Dean bites down on his lip pushing further and harder into her the way he likes it. Lexi closes her eyes and whimpers making desperate little noises. The sensations rolling over her are too much and she sinks her teeth into his bicep.
Dean knows she's close already. He can feel her legs starting to shake. He digs his fingers into her hips and pounds into her. He wants to feel her come, feel her muscles clench all tight around his dick. He knows it's not going to take much. Dean slides his fingers down between them to rock against her clit. Her nails dig into his back, hips bucking up against his. He moves his fingers faster as he fucks harder into her. “OH FUCK.....DEAN....OH GOD....”
Dean feels her tighten and tremble, he's teetering on the edge. He feels the pressure in his balls tighten sharply when Lexi comes her muscles spasming and clenching around his dick. He closes his eyes, bites down on his bottom lip and picks up the pace. It isn't long before his hips begin to stutter. Three more hard thrusts into her and he's done. Dean collapses on top of her wrapping his arms around her and burying his face in the crook of her neck. He breathes in her scent then places soft kisses along her neck before whispering, “Damn, I needed that…”
Two days later Dean comes back from the French Market to find Lexi on the porch carving something into the door frame. He tells Ben and Alec to take Jake around back to play while he watches Lexi. She looks over her shoulder at him and then goes right back to work.
“Whatcha ya doing, Babe?” He asks trying to sound casual.
“Boundary spell.” Lexi replies just as casual.
“I see.” Dean says as he walks up onto the porch. He examines the symbols then says with a smile, “Just another Thursday then.”
“Yup. Just another Thursday.”
Dean runs his fingers over the symbols as he examines them more closely. He traces one in particular with a raised eyebrow. It’s a five spot or as Sam would say a quincunx. He instinctively looks up. There, hanging above the door is a new floral swag. Dean would bet dollars to donuts that it’s made with bloodweed. He’s sighs saying bluntly, “You’re messing with hoodoo now?”
“We’re in New Orleans. So ya know, when in Rome and all that.” She replies flippantly.
“Real cute Lex but this ain’t funny. You shouldn’t be dabbling in hoodoo. Hell, you should know better than that.”
“Dean, I’m not dabbling. I got the spell and instructions from Ms. Thibodeaux. She said this will repel enemies. Let’s be honest, we’re gonna need all the help we can get.”
Dean pulls a face. He doesn’t like it one bit but he knows Lexi has a point. If and when Manticore comes a knocking they’re gonna need to use everything at their disposal. He throws up his hands stating, “Okay, okay, you win. Keep on doing what you’re doing and I’ll keep an eye on the kids.”
Manticore’s Temporary Facility
Three days later
Renfro watches the lab tech with a raised eyebrow as he gathers his reports together. She can’t help but think how much faster the testing would’ve gone if she had a permanent Manticore facility to bring the body to. This temporary facility was not adequate for the task at hand.
“Well, is the body in St. Louis Dean Winchester or not?” She questions with a hint of annoyance.
“Yes and no. See the DNA matches, however, there are some discrepancies.”
“Discrepancies?”
“Yes! This is where it gets interesting. This DNA sample does not match the original sample in our database. This DNA sample here is enhanced but it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before.”
Renfro snatches the report from the tech, her eyes scanning over it quickly. She then crosses the room to her brief case pulling out the DNA work ups of X5-493 and 494. She compares the reports before handing them over to the tech saying, “These are work ups of two of our X5’s. They don’t match the St. Louis sample.”
“The base DNA does but not the enhancements.”
Renfro takes the three reports back, places them in her brief case and head for the door. She stops turning to the tech, “I don’t have to remind you that this is highly classified do I? None of this leaves this room.”
“No, Ma’am.”
“Good.”
It takes three weeks for Renfro to finally show up in New Orleans. She shows up on a Wednesday waving credentials and asking to speak to Dr. Winchester. Lexi finally comes out to talk to Renfro an hour after the original page stating, “I’m sorry to keep you waiting. Unfortunately we’re going to have to make this quick. The E.R. is crazy and we’re shorthanded. How can I help you Ms. Renfro?”
“Of course. I just have a few questions regarding your husband.”
“Dean? What about him?”
“Is he here in New Orleans with you?”
“No.”
“Do you know your husbands whereabouts?”
“No, I don’t. I haven’t seen Dean in over a year.”
“And why is that?”
“Not that it’s any of your business but I left him. He came home one day with twin boys that were obviously his. Then the sonofabitch tries to convince me that they’re his clones. Can you believe that? It was obvious that he cheated on me years ago. It was the last straw. So I packed up me and my son and left Dean and his “clones” in Kansas.”
Renfro raises her eyebrow then hands her card as she says, “Well, thank you for your time Dr. Winchester. If your husband does contact you please call me.”
Renfro doesn’t leave the hospital after speaking with Lexi Winchester, instead she stays interviewing nurses and orderlies. She makes a point asking if any of them have seen her husband Dean. All of them give her the same answer. They haven’t seen Dean Winchester since Dr. Winchester returned. After a few
days with no sign of Dean Winchester, Renfro heads back to the new Manticore facility.
Two weeks later Sam is in the living room looking through The Times-Picayune for a local case when a breaking news report interrupted the kid’s show that Jake was watching. Sam stares at the t.v. and calls for his brother. Dean comes rushing in from the kitchen with Stella in his arms. Sam doesn’t say a word and points to the screen. Dean looks to where his brother is pointing his eyes widening as he realizes what the news anchor is saying. The existence of Manticore has been discovered.

Lexi shivers, fingers carding through Dean’s hair. He pulls her top over her head tossing it in the same direction of his shirt before nuzzling his face against her neck, “You smell so fucking good...”
Lexi smiles then slides her hand between them to palm him through his jeans. She kisses him softly sucking his bottom lip into her mouth then pulls away slightly. Lexi moves her hands down Dean’s chest resting them on his stomach before moving them to his belt. Her eyes never leaves his as she begins to slowly pull off his belt. Before Dean can protest, Lexi pops the button of his jeans and has his zipper undone.
Dean lifts his hips so she can push his pants and boxer briefs down. He closes his eyes as she wraps her hand wrap around his dick. He jerks into her hand while she licks at the hollow of his throat, her thumb rubbing the head of his cock. Dean digs his fingers into Lexi's hips while she holds his dick firmly, her delicate fingers moving along his shaft quickly. She leans forward to lick and suck his nipples the whole while applying pressure and pumping his dick with her right hand. Dean opens his eyes, he can't breathe, and he tries to focus on the tension building inside him. He can't even do that as he feels Lexi drag the fingers of her free hand along his balls.
She massages his balls, fingers rolling gently back and forth as she twists her hand on his dick. Dean moans low in his throat thrusting in her hand. She brushes her thumb against the head of his dick, squeezes and moves her hand faster. His breath hitches, he can feel the tension building steadily in his stomach, he isn't going to last much longer. Lexi nips at the sensitive spot behind his ear, squeezing and tugging his dick as he grips her hips harder. He closes his eyes, sucks in a deep breath then places his hand over Lexi’s stilling her movements.
“Lex, stop…”
She looks at him her eyebrow raised but stops before asking, “Something wrong?”
“No, baby, I wanna come inside of you not all over your hand.”
Dean reaches towards her letting his fingers trail over the black lace of Lexi’s bra before he begins tugging at her jeans. She lifts her hips to help him rid her of her jeans. He pulls the straps of her bra off her shoulders then places kisses along her collarbone. Dean continues kissing her moving up her neck to her jawline until his mouth is hovering at her ear. He lingers there, his hot breath sending shivers down her spine before he kisses his way to the spot behind her ear that drives Lexi crazy. Dean slides a hand up her back to unclasp her bra then tosses it towards the front of the car to join the rest of their clothes.
Dean surges forward, pushes her down onto the backseat and runs his hands slowly over her breasts, her stomach, her thighs then back up to her waist. His hands trace her curves, the softness of her skin intoxicating him. He grips her hips tight and pulls her flush to him. Dean presses his lips to hers biting down on her bottom lip as he pushes all the way into her in one hard stroke.
Lexi's eyes fly open in surprise, her mouth a perfect little O. She digs her nails into his back clinging tightly to him as he works up a hard steady rhythm. Neither one of them say a word. The only sound in the Impala is their hard breathing and the slap of skin on skin. Dean bites down on his lip pushing further and harder into her the way he likes it. Lexi closes her eyes and whimpers making desperate little noises. The sensations rolling over her are too much and she sinks her teeth into his bicep.
Dean knows she's close already. He can feel her legs starting to shake. He digs his fingers into her hips and pounds into her. He wants to feel her come, feel her muscles clench all tight around his dick. He knows it's not going to take much. Dean slides his fingers down between them to rock against her clit. Her nails dig into his back, hips bucking up against his. He moves his fingers faster as he fucks harder into her. “OH FUCK.....DEAN....OH GOD....”
Dean feels her tighten and tremble, he's teetering on the edge. He feels the pressure in his balls tighten sharply when Lexi comes her muscles spasming and clenching around his dick. He closes his eyes, bites down on his bottom lip and picks up the pace. It isn't long before his hips begin to stutter. Three more hard thrusts into her and he's done. Dean collapses on top of her wrapping his arms around her and burying his face in the crook of her neck. He breathes in her scent then places soft kisses along her neck before whispering, “Damn, I needed that…”
Two days later Dean comes back from the French Market to find Lexi on the porch carving something into the door frame. He tells Ben and Alec to take Jake around back to play while he watches Lexi. She looks over her shoulder at him and then goes right back to work.
“Whatcha ya doing, Babe?” He asks trying to sound casual.
“Boundary spell.” Lexi replies just as casual.
“I see.” Dean says as he walks up onto the porch. He examines the symbols then says with a smile, “Just another Thursday then.”
“Yup. Just another Thursday.”
Dean runs his fingers over the symbols as he examines them more closely. He traces one in particular with a raised eyebrow. It’s a five spot or as Sam would say a quincunx. He instinctively looks up. There, hanging above the door is a new floral swag. Dean would bet dollars to donuts that it’s made with bloodweed. He’s sighs saying bluntly, “You’re messing with hoodoo now?”
“We’re in New Orleans. So ya know, when in Rome and all that.” She replies flippantly.
“Real cute Lex but this ain’t funny. You shouldn’t be dabbling in hoodoo. Hell, you should know better than that.”
“Dean, I’m not dabbling. I got the spell and instructions from Ms. Thibodeaux. She said this will repel enemies. Let’s be honest, we’re gonna need all the help we can get.”
Dean pulls a face. He doesn’t like it one bit but he knows Lexi has a point. If and when Manticore comes a knocking they’re gonna need to use everything at their disposal. He throws up his hands stating, “Okay, okay, you win. Keep on doing what you’re doing and I’ll keep an eye on the kids.”
Manticore’s Temporary Facility
Three days later
Renfro watches the lab tech with a raised eyebrow as he gathers his reports together. She can’t help but think how much faster the testing would’ve gone if she had a permanent Manticore facility to bring the body to. This temporary facility was not adequate for the task at hand.
“Well, is the body in St. Louis Dean Winchester or not?” She questions with a hint of annoyance.
“Yes and no. See the DNA matches, however, there are some discrepancies.”
“Discrepancies?”
“Yes! This is where it gets interesting. This DNA sample does not match the original sample in our database. This DNA sample here is enhanced but it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before.”
Renfro snatches the report from the tech, her eyes scanning over it quickly. She then crosses the room to her brief case pulling out the DNA work ups of X5-493 and 494. She compares the reports before handing them over to the tech saying, “These are work ups of two of our X5’s. They don’t match the St. Louis sample.”
“The base DNA does but not the enhancements.”
Renfro takes the three reports back, places them in her brief case and head for the door. She stops turning to the tech, “I don’t have to remind you that this is highly classified do I? None of this leaves this room.”
“No, Ma’am.”
“Good.”
It takes three weeks for Renfro to finally show up in New Orleans. She shows up on a Wednesday waving credentials and asking to speak to Dr. Winchester. Lexi finally comes out to talk to Renfro an hour after the original page stating, “I’m sorry to keep you waiting. Unfortunately we’re going to have to make this quick. The E.R. is crazy and we’re shorthanded. How can I help you Ms. Renfro?”
“Of course. I just have a few questions regarding your husband.”
“Dean? What about him?”
“Is he here in New Orleans with you?”
“No.”
“Do you know your husbands whereabouts?”
“No, I don’t. I haven’t seen Dean in over a year.”
“And why is that?”
“Not that it’s any of your business but I left him. He came home one day with twin boys that were obviously his. Then the sonofabitch tries to convince me that they’re his clones. Can you believe that? It was obvious that he cheated on me years ago. It was the last straw. So I packed up me and my son and left Dean and his “clones” in Kansas.”
Renfro raises her eyebrow then hands her card as she says, “Well, thank you for your time Dr. Winchester. If your husband does contact you please call me.”
Renfro doesn’t leave the hospital after speaking with Lexi Winchester, instead she stays interviewing nurses and orderlies. She makes a point asking if any of them have seen her husband Dean. All of them give her the same answer. They haven’t seen Dean Winchester since Dr. Winchester returned. After a few
days with no sign of Dean Winchester, Renfro heads back to the new Manticore facility.
Two weeks later Sam is in the living room looking through The Times-Picayune for a local case when a breaking news report interrupted the kid’s show that Jake was watching. Sam stares at the t.v. and calls for his brother. Dean comes rushing in from the kitchen with Stella in his arms. Sam doesn’t say a word and points to the screen. Dean looks to where his brother is pointing his eyes widening as he realizes what the news anchor is saying. The existence of Manticore has been discovered.
