My Best Friends Brother // Supernatural

Chapter 58

We are at a drive-in. After our last hunt, Castiel stayed back to watch over a very old friend of the boys to make sure that he stays alright while we rest of us just takes a trip waiting for another fish to bite. Dean and I go to inside to get some food while Sam stays back "How can I help you today?" The lady at the cash register asks, I smile "We will have four of your cheesy bacon burgers, three of them with extra cheese and extra bacon, two chilli fries, two coca colas, um four of those brownies you have and four of those cookies there the double chocolate ones" I say with a smile, Dean is looking at me amused "Anything else?" The lady asks, I look at Dean who shrugs "Two cookies and cream milkshakes" I add, she nods and we pay with one of our fake credit cards

After we get out foods we go back to the car, Sam is on the phone and hangs up when we arrive "We have to go" Sam says, I'm drinking my milkshake and nod for him to continue "Can I at least finish my burger?" Dean asks "We got a vamp kill, Dean – Carencro, Louisiana." Sam says "Huh. It's been a while since I've had some étouffée. Who's the source?" Dean replies "Martin Creaser." Sam replies "Sorry – for a minute there, I thought you said Martin Creaser. Crazy Martin from the loony bin?" Dean asks "Glendale Springs discharged him last month." Sam replies "And? Shouldn't he be assembling toys in a padded room? What's he doing back on the job?" Dean replies "I asked him." Sam says, Dean frowns. I'm just focused on my food "You what?" Dean asks 

"Look, he called me when he got out, okay, asked if I had anything for him that might help him ease back into the game. He seemed okay – mostly – so I said yes. I've had him tracking Benny for the past week." Sam replies, I choke on my drink "You did what?" I ask, they turn to face me "Benny is not going around killing people" I say offended "He's a vampire Reg, I needed someone to keep an eye out to make sure that he was safe" Sam replies "I'm a vampire Sammy, if I wasn't riding at the back of the impala would you have someone tail me?" I ask "It's different" Dean adds in "what is? The fact that it's my word against yours?" I ask "I just wanted to make sure" Sam replies "Fine, drive. And when we get there and when you see that Benny is safe, because he will be. I am going off on my own" I say slumping back 

"I'm not trying to offend you" Sam says "Samuel, I need you to turn around and not talk man" I say looking away from him "And here's your food jackass" I say throwing the bags of food on his lap, I turn again and just face the window 

The drive is awkwardly quiet, with no words from me to either of them. We get to Louisiana and meet with this Martin guy who's insisting that Benny did it "Your proof is that he walked up the path? Jesus Christ" I chuckle "B-b-because I saw Benny turn up the path, and then two seconds later, I trip over a body with its throat ripped. Look, man, you – you ever hear of Occam's Razor? "Keep it simple, stupid"? It's not that complicated" Martin replies, I tilt my head slightly "Weren't you in a damn mental hospital? How can you be trusted anymore than him?" I ask "I am a hunter, he is a vampire. The right thing to do here is separate his head from him shoulders. Plain and simple" Martin says, I use my super speed to grab him by the neck, slam him against the wall and vamp out 

"Plain and simple?" I hiss, his heart is pounding aggressively in his chest "Let him go" Sam says tapping my shoulder "I say, back off you crazy son of a bitch or I will give you a reason to check yourself back in the loony bin alright" I say and let him drop, he falls to the ground and I look at the guys before walking away "How much time do you need?" Sam asks following me out "I'll call," I say "And if it is Benny?" Dean asks "Then I'll rip his heart out with my own hands and give it to you as a souvenir" I reply walking off on my own, they both sigh 

I've tried calling him a billion times and I got nothing so, I walk around the city using Benny's scent to track him down to the woods washing his bloody hands on a well "Jesus Benny are you serious?" I ask, he turns around "I didn't do it" Benny replies "I don't want to believe that you did, so you need some sort of explanation for this Benny Boy because the Winchesters are up my damn ass about you right now" I say "It didn't help that I vamp treated their friends either, so please explain," I say "I am trying to blend in here" Benny says "Right with the job at the cafe and changing your name?" I ask, he nods "And the person you just buried?" I ask "Victim number two. If you're concerned about the missed calls, I didn't want to get you or the Winchesters involved." Benny replies "Okay"

"Rogue vamp. Came into the café a couple nights ago. Youngster goes by the name of Desmond. He, uh, he remembers me from the good old days."

"Back when you were alive?"

Benny nods "I know it's hard to believe, but I haven't always been this cute and cuddly. He's chasing a memory, Gina. That's all. He's crewing up a new nest. He's hoping I can give him some cred. I told him no."

"And what's with all the blood on your hands?"

"Didn't want to take no for an answer. He's trying to roust me out, leaving dead bodies in my wake till I sign up. Two bodies in two days. No amateur is gonna kick me out of my hometown. Not this time."

"this is your home town?"

"Born and bred. With Andrea gone and you hunting again, seemed like the right time for a homecoming – you two being the only ones who keep all my ducks in a row. Went back to my old job at the café. I even found someone to hold myself accountable to. Best kind of someone. Family."

"The girl from the cafe?"

I walk closer to him "Yeah, Elizabeth. She's my great-granddaughter" 

"Does she know what you are?"

"No. No, as far as she's concerned, I was just another drifter. I'd like to keep it that way. It's been tough walking the line here after all those years in Purgatory not having to deal with the hunger. But Elizabeth... She keeps me honest. I learnt from you, with the blood bags. I finally feel like I got a handle on this thing" 

"Handle on things? Benny, you have three hunters after you, man."

"Oh, please. The half-wit who found me at the café? I'll take my chances with him."

"I'm not talking about him, alright. Sam sent him to sniff you out, and now Dean is on this. Trust me you do not want to mess with those boys, they have taken on the freaking devil head first alright. They're unstoppable"

"I thought they trusted you"

"Yeah, I did too. But you need to lay low, until this whole thing blows off alright? I'll explain this whole thing to the guys but you need to stay as far away from it as freaking possible because they will behead first and ask questions later"

"They really would?"

"Why do you think it took me like three years to tell them what I am, they were brought up this way. You need to stay out of it, I don't want you to be the next monster they kill"
