My Best Friends Brother // Supernatural

Chapter 70

Dean comes back to the motel and finishes off the witch-killing spell with the things he gathered, we make our way to James' house and they get out of the car "I can't believe we are doing this" I whisper clearly annoyed "We don't need more proof Regina" Dean says, I roll my eyes and stroll behind them putting no effort of involvement on what they're about to do. We walk up the stairs and Dean takes his zippo out of his pocket, clicks it and sets the piece of cloth hanging from the bottle on fire "No! No, Dean! You have to listen to me, please. It's not James!" Portia says coming out of the bathroom, she's practically desperate

We go downstairs "please tell me you've got an explanation" I plea, she looks at me and I know she knows I'm on her side "James and I were close, without psychological walls -- intimate." Portia says "I don't.." Dean begins to say clearly confused "They had sex" Sam replies "Wow, I, uh .. didn't expect that" Dean chuckles "We have an unusual relationship. Familiars aren't supposed to be sexually involved with their witches." Portia explains "Understandable, you know, considering that you're a... ...well, and that he's... That's –" Dean rambles, he looks at me and Sam "Little help here?" Dean asks

Sam and I shake our heads at him, both of us looking equally amused by his confusion "No?" Dean asks and we shake our heads again "James and I -- we hadn't made love in weeks. His agony ate him up, and he shut me out. But tonight, I saw his thoughts -- memories of the murders." Portia explains "I'm sorry, is this you trying to talk us out of ganking James or -" Dean asks "Dean, that's all I saw -- just the kills. No preparation, no thought process, no anticipation, no motive. Just the kills without context." Portia replies "No other awareness of the crimes?" Sam asks

"No. Doesn't that at least suggest he's under another's control?" Portia asks "Spencer said that wasn't possible." Dean says "He said he'd never heard of it. James is chained. He's confined. At least take a shot." Portia continues "I told you, this isn't him," I say "You're so convinced," Dean says "Because I can literally tell when someone is lying Dean, and he isn't. He's innocent, I can feel it" I say "Sam and I will visit the police department again, first thing in the morning" I say "James has an informant in the city" Portia says, I nod "You and Dean can meet with him, see if you can find anything" I say "And for the love of God, behave yourself and don't ask inappropriate questions" I whisper to Dean who looks offended

I smile and get up, they follow me out and we go back to the hotel to sleep the rest of the night

"You've been extremely um trusting this time around" Dean says, I'm brushing my teeth and looking at him through the mirror, he's stepping out of the shower. I finish brushing my teeth and turn around "I'm not a paranoid wife, Dean, I can smell the interest in people. It's how I instantly know that you're horny" I say with a smile "Yeah?" Dean asks "Yeah like right now" I say pointing to the bump under his towel, he comes over to me and pulls me closer by the belt loops of my trousers "I can't help it, you look so good in this little suit" he says brushing my hair away from my face and cupping my face with his hand

He's looking into my eyes and then my lips, his eyes are demanding yet pleading at the same time "Stop looking at me with those eyes" I whisper "what eyes?" He asks returning his gaze to my eyes, I practically whimper when he moves even closer to me and I can feel him against me *knock knock* "Come on guys we got to go" Sam calls out, Dean kisses me softly "Go" He whispers against my lips "mhm" I reply without moving away "Regina" Sam yells pounding on the door now "Fine fine, you damn cockblocker" I complain, I move away from Dean

"Really?" Dean says giving me the biggest puppy eyes "Stop it" I say pointing at him before walking out of the bathroom and leading the way out of the motel room, Sam chances up to me "am I interrupting something?" Sam jokes "You need sex, you can't keep blocking mine" I say "We're on a case" Sam complains "We're always on a case Sammy, you have to find the safe place in between to have some fun and plus it does you good" I say, he looks extremely disgusted but I just smile at him "You two disgust me" Sam states

We walk through the police station looking for Josh or Ed, a door opens and they both walk out "Gentlemen" Sam speaks up, they turn to us"Still investigating this crappy little case? I'm awed the Bureau has so much time on its hands." Ed says "We have enough time to do your half-assed job Ed" I reply, he looks shocked but I smile, I glance down at the file Josh is holding and subtly tap Sam who also notices 'FRAMPTON, JAMES' next to a case number typed onto the file

"I'll catch up later Ed" Josh says and walks off "we have some, uh, individual discretion to pursue cases." Sam adds "Yeah, but at some point, cases like this go cold, as I'm sure you're aware. Just not enough to keep them floating -- that's all." Ed replies "Sure. No new leads, then?" Sam asks "No. And it's drifting towards the back burner, really. We just don't have the manpower." Ed replies "Then it must have been tough to lose a valuable resource like Lieutenant Frampton. See, he and I -- we, uh -- we caught a case together a while back." Sam says

"Well, he's not lost to me. He's -- he's on leave." Ed replies "I remember he said he was the youngest guy here to ever make lieutenant. Must have made a few waves." Sam chuckles "Nah. This place is run like a dogsled -- no stars. Just grunts. One mutt goes lame, another one pops up and slogs through the slush. Agent." Ed replies and walks away before we can ask any more questions, Sam waits until Ed turns a corner and tries to open the door Ed and Josh just came out of "Locked" Sam says "Did you get anything?" Sam asks, I shrug "I have a bad feeling about this Ed guys, if I didn't know better I would say he was trying to hide his jealousy" I say

"Let's go back to James' maybe Dean and Portia got more than we did," Sam says "Listen you go, I'm going to hang around see if I can get anything from these losers" I say "No" Sam says, I roll my eyes "I can get in there, but it's best I do this on my own so we're not raising any extra suspicion" I say "Alright fine" Sam says, he walks off and I start walking through the station until I see Josh "Agent Rover, I thought you left" Josh says "I was going to but um" I say walking closer to him, he looks intrigued "I'm sorry, I just can't get you out of my head" I chuckle

"Really?" He asks, I nod "Is there somewhere we can go? In private, away from prying eyes? I would really like um talk" I say running my hand over the collar of his white coat, he nods and leads us back to the locked room. He locks the door behind us and walks closer to me "Can you um twirl and hop on one foot?" I compel him to make sure he can be compelled, he does in a robotic way "Perfect now come here" I say and he does "Where's the file?" I ask, he walks around the desk, opens a drawer and gets a fat file with James' name on the front before handing it to me

"Perfect" I say and start going through it, Ed is building up a juice case against James, I look around at the activities board. There are pictures and case files, I look back at the folder and see a witness statement signed by Philipe LeChat. I nod before giving back the folder "Forget this ever happened, we talked, flirted a little in the halls and then I left" I compel him before super speeding back to James house, they're all in the living room talking

"Ed is building a huge case against you" I say to James "does the name Philipe LeChat ring a bell?" I ask "Yes he's a warlocks familiar" Portia replies "he signed a witness statement against James" I say with a shrug, I sit down next to Dean "did you do anything to piss off this guy?" I ask "My first case -- they dropped him as lead detective. They went with me." James says "So what is this, you think -- a payback?" Sam asks "seems like the best explanation here" I say, I can hear James heart racing. I frown and walk over to him just as he begins to breath heavily, almost hyperventilating "James?" I ask, Sam and Dean stand up and pull me to my feet and away from James "Hey, hey, hey. Take it easy." Sam says putting his hands up "James, hey." Dean also speaks out "Talk this out, buddy." Sam says, James flicks his hand sending Dean flying across the room into a wall and on top of one of the drawers, he does the same to Sam on the opposite side and I speed to him

"Alright Jamie that's enough" I say he puts his hand out and pulls it closer to himself, an iron poker from the fireplace pierced through my heart, I look down at it "ah shit"
