I'm so so so so so so sorry that I haven't updated in literally forever! I got grounded for a little bit and I had surgery on my wrist and I just haven't been able to get around to it. But I'm back now and ready to continue this story! Hopefully you'll all bear with me (:

Chapter 4

"Ash! You have no idea how happy I am to hear your voice."

"Thanks, but um, who are you?" was Ash's response.

Jo's heart fell, the one person who might've been able to help her didn't even know who she was.

"It's Jo, Jo Harvelle. We um, went to high school together."

"You sound familiar, but I'm probably too drunk right now to remember. So did you need something or just call to say hi?" Ash questioned further.

Jo took a deep breath and decided to lay it all on the line, "I need to get away from the Djinn."

There was a moment of silence before the drunk, former hunter answered, "How the hell do you know about that?"

Jo breathed a sigh of relief, so Ash was still a hunter or at least had the education of one.

"Ash, you're still hunting?" she asked.

"Jo, you hunt?" was his reply.

"Yeah well, I was hunting a Djinn before it poisoned me. Next thing I knew, my dad's alive and Sam Winchester's my boyfriend." Jo answered back.

Ash took a moment to respond.

"Jo, where are you right now?"

"Apparently, at mine and Sam's apartment in Lawrence, Kansas. Why do you ask?"

"Well lucky for you, I'm only about an hour away from there. How about you meet me half way in Ottawa? There's a bar as soon as you come into town, you can't miss it. See ya soon."

Jo didn't have a chance to respond before the call ended.

Jo was swift and silent as she grabbed the keys to the Impala and snuck out the door. She prayed that she would be back before Sam woke up in a few hours. Jo clicked on the radio and instantly felt tears welling up in her eyes. She remembered the roadhouse, Dean dissing REO and telling Jo that her mother was able to strike fear into his heart. Jo sang along to the familiar song as tears trailed down her face. She had to get back, back to her mom and Ash, back to hunting, back to him.

Ash had been right about the bar, there was no way you could miss it. It was the first building you saw once you hit Ottawa. Something felt eerie to Jo, it was something about the bar. Once she stepped inside, it became obvious as to what was causing the feeling. This was the roadhouse. It didn't have the same name or staff, but the bar was unmistakeable. She was in Harvelle's Roadhouse. The furniture wasn't quite the same either, but Jo knew the place all too well. The counters were arranged the same as well as the same drunken and despair filled atmosphere. She didn't have time to dwell on this, she needed to find Ash. Just then she spotted his unruly mullet, a beer bottle present in one of his hands.

"Ash."

He slowly turned around to face her.

"You must be Jo. Sorry about the...drunk. Now, what can I do for you?" Ash inquired, setting down his beer and gesturing for Jo to have a seat.

She hesitantly sat down and pushed the beer even farther away from Ash, he was drunk enough.

"Well like I said before, I got poisoned by a Djinn and now I need to get out of here." Jo replied.

"How long has the poison been in your sytsem?" Ash queried, his voice starting to get quieter.

Jo thought about it for a minute.

"Maybe four or five hours."

"Well, lucky for you that's not long enough for the bastard to drink you dry." Ash informed her.

"That's always nice to hear, but in the meantime, I'm still stuck here. So what's our next move?" Jo asked, her voice anxious.

"Whoa, our? I never agreed to help you, I just agreed to meet you. There's a difference you know." the drunk hunter pointed out.

Ash did have a point, but she was desperate, she needed him.

"Ash please, you're my only hope. And believe it or not, but out in the real world you and I are practically family. Ash please, I'm begging you. Help me." Jo pleaded.

"All right fine, but only because I'm such a nice guy. So, first things first, is anyone looking for you?" Ash questioned.

Jo almost said no, but then she remembered her dream.

"Yeah, Dean's looking for me."

Again, I am so sorry that it took me so long to update! Thanks to all readers and reviewers as always (:
