Supernatural II: Resurgence (Dean Winchester x Female!Reader)

The Executioner's Song

*3rd Person POV*

Polunsky Unit, Livingston, West Virgina

"The Zodiac?" Dean asked as he drives the Impala down the road. "Seven victims." Peyton replied as she sits in the passenger seat, (y/n) stayed back at the bunker with the kids and Ace while Ben was out in a hunt with Garth. "Dahmer?" Dean asked her. "Seventeen." Peyton replied. "That's some freaky stuff, kiddo. It's a whole new side of you." Dean said to her. "It's called true crime, Dean. It's a hobby." Peyton said, defensively. "No. Bass fishing, needlepoint...that's a hobby, okay? Collecting serial-killer stats...that's...that is an illness." Dean said as they turn into the prison entrance.

"Get your badge." Dean said and Peyton sighs. "Yeah." She said as they pull up to an intercom at the prison gate. "Hello, gentleman and lady. State the nature of your visit." The voice from the intercom said. "From the office of the Inspector General. Got an appointment with the warden." Dean said. "Thank you. Parking is to the left. Look for visitor parking only." The voice said and they wait for the gate to open.

"All right, so what are the stats on this, uh, vanishing act here?" Dean asked Peyton. "Tommy Tolliver was convicted of six murders back in '09, but those are just the ones that stuck. According to the news, he escaped from a locked cell on death row, this inexplicable, Houdini-esque escape." Peyton replied as the gate slowly opens and Peyton and Dean pull through the gate. "So what are we thinking? Some sort of a mass-murdering magician?" Dean asked. "Yeah, Or a teleporting demon or a who knows what that can walk through Supermax walls. Could be in our wheelhouse." Peyton said. "Yeah, your wheelhouse. Hobby." Dean teased and Peyton rolls her eyes.

Inside, The Warden is crouching down in Tommy's cell, presumably looking at the drop of blood on the floor when Dean and Peyton come in. "Warden Skeiff?" Dean calls out and the Warden stands up and faces the two at the entrance to the cell. "Uh, Inspectors Moore and Ranaldo. We spoke on the phone." Peyton said. "Yeah. Welcome to death row. Have a look." The warden said and Dean and Peyton enter the cell.

"But good luck finding anything out of TDJC compliance." the warden said then he leaves the cell and Dean signals to Peyton to follow the Warden. She turns to leave as Dean pulls the EMF detector out of his pocket. "So, why don't you tell me what happened?" Peyton asked the warden. "The night Tolliver disappeared, our little ship was running as tight as ever, and I got documentation to prove it." the warden said.

"Do you stand by what the press is saying..." Peyton asked as they continue on while Dean walks around the cell with the EMF detector and crouches to test under Tommy's cot. "...locked cell, no security breach, no guard misconduct?" Peyton asked, finishing her questions. "Which press? Mainstream media is calling for my head, said I was grossly incompetent. But the tabloids, they're saying..." the warden said then Peyton finished his sentence.

"They're saying it's magic. That Tommy pulled off some dark miracle to escape. You saying you believe that?" She asked him. "I'm saying there was some kind of magician on the block last night, but it wasn't Tommy." the warden said.

Later, he takes Dean and Peyton to the surveillance room, the three of them and a guard sit at the monitors. "That's right before Tolliver vanished." The warden said as he gestures to the monitors, there three camera views on the bottom go dark and come back on. "Was that a brownout?" Peyton asked. "That was my thought, but then..." the warden said and the monitor shows Cain walking onto the cellblock, Dean's eyes widen at this while Peyton turns to the warden.

"Is it one of the guards?" She asked. "Nope. But I don't know who he is, how he got in, or how he and Tolliver got out." the warden said. "Can you zoom in on that?" Dean asked him. "Can and have. Too dark to make out much of anything." The warden said. "Do it." Dean demanded and he leans closer to the monitor as the guard zooms in. "Freeze it. Blow it up." Dean said as the guard does just that. Dean stares at the image of Cain on the monitor, curling his fingers into a fist, as Peyton looks over.
