Comfort Crowd Δ SPN [ 1 ]

060. MAY 2ND

The four Winchesters and Bobby are at a cabin and they have a map of the United States spread out on the table.

"So you need a name, that's the whole kit and caboodle. With the right name, right ritual, ain't nothing you can't suss out." Bobby says.

"Like the town Lilith's in?" Sam asks.

"Kid, when I get done, we'll know the street." Bobby says. He begins a ritual, chanting in Latin. The Winchesters watch as the pendulum begins to search over the map until it stops.

"New Harmony, Indiana." Bobby states. "And we have a winner."

"Alright. Let's go." Sam says.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Let's all shut up there, Tex." Dean says.

"What's the problem?" Sam asks.

"What's the problem? Come on, where do I begin? I mean, first of all, we don't even know if Lilith holds my deal. We're going off of Bela's intel? Now when that bitch breathes, the air comes out crooked. Okay. Second, even if we could get to Lilith, we have no way to gank her. And third, isn't this the same Lilith that wants your giant head on a pike? Should I continue?"

"Ain't you just bringing down the room." Bobby says.

"Yeah, well, it's a gift." Dean says.

"It's an annoying gift." Ophelia mumbles.

"I'm sorry, so then what are we supposed to do, Dean?" Sam asks.

"Just cause I gotta die doesn't mean you have to, okay? Either we go in smart or we don't go in at all." Dean says.

"Okay, fine. If that's the case I have the answer." Sam says.

"You do?"

"Yeah. A sure fire way to confirm it's Lilith and a way to get us to a bona fide demon killing ginsu."

"Damn it, Sam, no."

"We're so past arguing. Dean, I am summoning Ruby."

"The hell you are! We have enough problems as it is."

"Exactly. And we've got no time and no choice either."

"Come on, man, she is the Miss Universe of lying skanks, okay? She told you that she could save me, huh? Lie. She seems to know everything about Lilith but forgot to mention, oh right. Lilith owns my soul!"

"Okay, fine. She's a liar. She's still got that knife."

"Dean." Bobby says.

"For all we know, she works for Lilith." Dean says.

"Then give me another option, Dean. I mean, tell me what else." Sam says.

"Sam's right." Bobby says.

"NO! Damn it!" Dean shouts, Bobby looking at him, surprised. "Just no." He says calmer. "We are not gonna make the same mistakes all over again. You guys wanna save me, find something else."

Dean sits at the table while Sam sighs, watching him. Bobby grabs his jacket.

"Where are you going, Bobby?" Sam asks.

"I guess to... find something else." Bobby says, leaving.

Sam and Dean are getting ready to go, and saying bye to the girls.

"I don't want you to go." Libby whines, tightly hugging Sam around the shoulders. Ever since the case with the Ghostfacers, she's been even more attached to him, her separation anxiety worse than before. She also hasn't been able to get much sleep, only getting some here and there, being plagued by nightmares every night.
