A/N: For anyone who hasn't seen the new rota. This story will be updated every Monday! As I've planned quite a few chapters in advance, there's a chance that it could be updated bi-weekly. Hope you enjoy this chapter and the more frequent updates, sorry that it's quite short! The next chapter is the Hunt! So look forward to a longer and more action-packed chapter next Monday!
Castiel is online!
Rei has come online!
Rei: Cas! Where the hell have you been? Do you know what I've been through since you abandoned me?!
Castiel: I assure you that leaving you there was not my intention.
Rei: Right… so why did you?
Castiel: I forgot about your existence.
Rei: Oh.
Castiel: So as you can see it wasn't really my fault. And every time you called my name in those desperate prayers, it made me want to work harder to ignore you. You have a very annoying voice.
Rei: … Gee. You really know how to sweep a girl off her feet with your apologies.
Castiel: I have no intention of sweeping any girl anywhere.
Rei: It was a figure of speech. You've been on Earth long enough now to have picked up some colloquialisms surely?
Castiel: My knowledge of human slang is limited to a few insults, I'm afraid.
Rei: Such as?
Castiel: Well, Assbutt is always a favourite of mine.
Rei: …
Castiel: …
Rei: Right, moving on. The point is that you left me stranded and didn't answer my calls and left me to deal with Becky!
Castiel: What is a Becky?
Rei: Don't even get me started. Ask Sam if you wanna know the details.
Castiel: Very well. How is the case going?
Rei: Well, I'm sat in the Impala with Dean while Sam has gone to get lunch. There's only so many burgers and pies a girl can eat before she dies of malnutrition, so Dean was made to stay in the car.
Castiel: You're on this chat room despite being in the same space as Dean? What if he looks at your phone and sees? Then your cover is blown and everything gets messed up!
Rei: Chillax, Dean is busy on his phone too. Probably trying to sext you ;)
Castiel: You misspelled text.
Rei: No I didn't.
Dean Winchester has come online!
Rei: Speak of the devil!
Castiel: Lucifer?
Rei: No… Cas, seriously invest in a slang dictionary or something.
Dean: What's up, guys. Rei, it seems like it's been forever since we spoke!
Rei: Haha… well for me it feel likes 5 minutes.
Rei knew that she was in danger. Dean was sat just under a meter away from her and they were both on the chat room. If she disconnected now and put her phone down, there was a chance that Dean would be suspicious.
Dean: Ooh hey, looks like Sam is back so I'm gonna have to go!
Rei: No worries. I've got a…uhm…paper to write. So I better head off too. Bye, Cas. This conversation is not over.
Dean Winchester has gone offline!
Rei has gone offline!
Cas: At least Rei said goodbye…
Castiel has gone offline!
Sam entered the car with a gruff moan. "Everyone here is so freakishly friendly. It's totally unnerving. When I walked down the street, everyone turned to look at me. I get the feeling that they don't see strangers often. I think you might be right about the town cover-up Rachel."
Rei snapped back into reality. Rachel, right. "Well, without being any more of a downer, if they don't see strangers often, you may have just singled yourself out as a target for whatever it is that's killing these people."
Sam's brow furrowed as he thought over Rei's words.
"Way to go Sammy, now enough chit-chat, where's the grub?" Dean said, interrupting whatever it was that Sam was thinking of.
Sam rummaged through the bag that he had brought with him. He handed over a few small boxes of food to Rei in the backseat and then gingerly passed Dean a box too with an apologetic look on his face.
"Sam…" Dean said before pausing. Sam closed his eyes with a wry smile on his face. "What the hell is this rabbit food?"
"That's all they had. Everything here is about being pure and fresh. There's not one fast-food joint or diner around." Sam explained and Dean's face fell.
"This case sucks" Dean said sulking.
Rei laughed and began to nibble at her lettuce. "Unfortunately for us, the case has only just begun."
