Fix Us (Book 2) A Supernatural Story

16- Trust Issues

The two of them walk over to Eileen who shows them the banshee in the journal, "A hunter found me in my crib, ears bleeding. Lillian O'Grady. This was hers. She'd been tracking the banshee. Never found it, though" Eileen explains to them.

"So, Lillian raised you?" Sam asks her.
"More like trained me. She died when I was 16" she tells them.
"On the job?" Sam asks.
"Cancer" Eileen says.
"You've been on your own ever since then?" Calliope asks her.

"I prefer working alone" she tells her, "trust issues" she then adds.
"Yeah, I know" Sam laugh, holding his cut hand up, "So, was your mom, a hunter or a witch?" he then asks.
"No. Her father was part of this secret organization. It's defunct now" Eileen says this and Sam and Calliope look at one another.

"The Men of Letters?" Sam asks Eileen.
"Yeah. How'd you know?" she asks him.
"My brother and I, we're like you. We're legacies" he tells Eileen.
"What about you?" Eileen then asks Calliope.
"I'm...well, not necessarily a legacy but something different" Calliope tells her and Eileen just looks at her confused.

"She's, well, umm, do you believe in angels?" Sam then asks Eileen.
"I have heard that they are real" Eileen says to them.
"Sam give me your hand" Calliope then says to him, and he does so. Calliope uncovers his hand, and places her hand on top of the cut, Eileen watches as Calliope's hand glows and it heals Sam's cut.

Back at the bunker Dean was gathering gold blades while telling Cass about his encounters with Amara, "I tried to kill her" Dean says to Castiel.
"Well, the two of you are connected somehow by the Mark" Cass says to him.
"Yeah, no, it's, it's, uh...It's more than that" Dean says.
"Attraction?" Castiel then asks looking at him, and Dean doesn't say a word. "Oh, Dean-" he starts to say to him.
"I know. I know, okay. Whatever it is attraction, connection....I gotta tell you man, it scares me. It scares Calliope too. I mean I love Calliope, and I want to marry her shockingly. But what this is with Amara, I don't know that I can stop it" Dean scoffs, "I don't know if I can resist it" he adds.

"Hey, it scares me too" Castiel says placing a hand on Dean's shoulder which confuses Dean for a moment, "But we will find out what this is, I promise. In the end, it may help draw her out. This could be a good thing" he says to him.

Just then Dean's phone rings and he looks down at it, "Callie" he answers.
"Dean, look up Edwin Durbin II" Sam's voice comes over the phone saying.
"Wait, what?" Dean asks confused.
"Just look it up in the Men of Letters files, Dean" Calliope tells him, as he walks away to do just that. Sam and Calliope inform Dean about what they had learned about Eileen as he goes to look for a file.

"Oh, Son of a bitch, she ain't lying. According to the Men of Letters records, Edwin Durbin II was inducted in 1939, part of a small delegation that was sent to Europe" Dean tells them.

As Sam stays on the phone with Dean, Calliope watches as Mildred signs to Eileen, I've got dips on the other one. You can have the tall one. I'm not much of a mountain climber anymore.

"Yeah, her father has just lost his job. He had a nervous breakdown" Sam tells him.
"So, he was vulnerable" Dean says.
"And her mom only knew some basic spells. She used one to banish the banshee. Dean the banshee, we're hunting is the same one that killed Eileen's parents" Sam says.
You sure you don't want both? Eileen signs back to Mildred.
Sorry but the other one is mine Calliope then signs back and they look at her in surprise.

"Awesome. All right, what's the plan?" Dean asks Sam.
"Well, we're gonna use the same Celtic spell Eileen used to trap me. When the banshee comes for Mildred tonight, we trap it" Sam tells him.
"And we hit with gold" Dean says.
"Right" Sam says.
"I don't like using Mildred as bait" Dean says to him.
