Dean drove all the way to Junction City, Kansas. He didn't give me much detail about anything, he just said we were helping some hunter on a case. Apparently, he owed him a favor for saving his ass.

Yeah, he owes the favor not us. What's the point in going?

I ignored Venom as we got out of the Impala. I adjusted my suit jacket and fixed my skirt before following the brothers in. It was another trip to the hospital, which still gave me the creeps after what happened.

"Well, this is it," the coroner said as we enter the morgue. "Gentlemen and..." The coroner glanced at me. His eyes were looking me up and down. "Madam." I'm gonna rip his arms off if he keeps looking at you like that. "This is Corporal Brown."

My mouth almost dropped at the hunter we were supposed to be helping. I wanted to chuckle at the army uniform he decided to wear instead of an FBI suit.

"Corporal James Brown," Garth 'introduced' himself. Venom could sense my excitement."I'm shipping off to the A.F. mañana. I'm here to pay respects to my cousin as I will not be able to attend the funeral."

Lexa, do you know this twig?

"That must be terrible for your family. Losing two brothers so fast," the coroner sympathized. Dean looked at Sam and Sam looked at me, I was trying not to break into character until the coroner left us alone.

"Yeah. Yeah. My aunt – she's, uh... she's real broken up about it."

"Hey, Doc," I called the coroner. I gave him my best smile. "Can we see both files, please?"

The guy nodded vigorously. "Sure," he said as he went to grab the files. His phone started to ring. He sighed as he handed me the files. "Ah. My wife. I'll, uh, be in my office." The coroner pulled something from his pocket and handed it to me. "Don't be afraid to call if you want some one-on-one check-up."

I gave him another smile before he left the room. I immediately crumbled the paper in my hands before dropping it on the floor. Can't believe he tried to pick me up. And he's married.

That's really disgusting.

I heard Garth making an aw sound as he grinned at me. "She's still got it!"

I broke my facade and ran over to Garth. I wrapped my arms around him. "What the hell, Garth? I didn't think I'll be seeing you again."

"I know. How long has it been?"

"Two years too long. I didn't know this was your case."

"I didn't know you were with my boy Dean." Garth chuckled. "What a small world this is."

"Wait, wait, wait," Dean cut us off. He motioned between us. "You two know each other?"

What gave him that idea? The fact that you know his name or the long hug that just happened a minute ago.

"Garth and I worked on a case together," I explained. "We were hunting a shapeshifter back in Arkansas. It turned out of was this college student killing his roommates because they were total douchebags."

"Then he went after his girlfriend because he couldn't get rid of the rush he gets when he sees blood," Garth added. "Lexi and I had to be college students because we thought it was one of the professors at first."

"Lexi?" Venom and Dean asked simultaneously. Well, Venom more in my head.

I chuckled as I hugged Garth again. "I never realized how much I missed his guy."

You miss him?

"Well, maybe I can finally say I'm sorry," Garth said as he rubbed the back of his neck. My eyes widened when I realized what Garth was trying to apologize for. "It was my first time doing it with my teeth and -"
