One More Favor

Chapter 3

"Hey Sammy!" Gabriel grinned.

"I see gathering up the kids is going well."

"Yeah. Well you know them. They just can't sit still." Gabe said, pretending he couldn't hear the giggling of the children as they snuck up behind him. They jumped on him, pulling him to the floor and tickling him. Gabriel squealed with laughter.

"Alright kids. I need you guys to pack up a few things. We are going to be spending a few days at a friend's house so make sure you take some clothes and a few things that are valuable to you.

"Where are we going daddy?" Samantha asked, holding tightly to a stuffed bear that she had owned since the boys adopted her. It was the first gift they had given her.

"She is a friend of your uncle Dean. The house isn't safe right now though, so we need to go there until someone can make it safe again." Same explained as best he could in a way children could understand. "And that means you boys are going to have to let your papa up." Sam added giving Jordan and Austin a look. They just grinned and stood up before taking off to go pack up some things.

"Oh thank god Sammy. You saved me. I thought I was a gonner!" Gabriel said, clutching at his chest like he had been dying. The twins gave a small laugh, in a failed attempt to hide their amusement.

"Well, I'm glad you are having fun Gabe, but we need to pack. Dean and Cas are going to be here in just under a half hour." Sam explained.

"Alright, alright. You don't have to be so serious." Gabe pushed himself up off the floor and made his way past Sam and into the hall, the other boy following after.

Dean had a more difficult time explaining to Cas and the Kids what they had to do. Cas wasn't sure that Crowley was telling the truth, but he agreed that it was better safe than sorry. After convincing the kids to pack, they had made their way into their room.

"So who is this friend of yours?" Cas asked.

"She was a friend in my eighth grade class, before I moved you that other school in high school. I found out she had moved here after she came into the shop a few years back to get her car fixed. She can do anything with a computer, but cars is something she just doesn't understand." Dean chuckled. "Anyway, after that we started talking again and we quickly became friends again.

"What's her name?" Cas asked throwing a few shirts into the shared suitcase.

"Charlie Bradbury." Dean told him. "Don't worry Cas, you will like her." Dean reassured him. Cas just nodded. "I'm going to give her a call and give her a heads up that we are coming." Dean told him.

"Alright. I'll finish up packing." Cas gave a nod. Dean left the room and pulled his phone out, dialing Charlie. It rang a few times before she answered.

"Hey Dean! How's it hangin'?" Charlie asked from the other end.

"It's alright. Hey My family and Sam's family need a place to stay for some time, is it alright if we come stay with you?" Dean asked, getting right to the point.

"Who did you kill now?" Charlie asked.

"No one yet. But I promise I'll explain everything in person when we get there."

"Alright, but it's not cheap. Room alone is one hundred a night. Food for two family's will be fifty a meal."

"Goddammit Charlie." Dean just laughed.

"Alright, alright. Fine. You can stay and eat for free, since you are a friend." Charlie laughed as well.

"Alright, well, we will probably be there within the next hour or so." Dean told her.

"Got it! See you then dude." Dean hung up and put his phone back in his pocket. Dean went back into the room he shared with Cas to find him already done packing.

"Ready when you are Dean." Cas told him.

"Alright let's go get the kids and then we can file into the car."

"I'll go get them. You can bring the suitcase out to the car." Cas told him. Dean nodded and pulled it off the bed. He followed Cas out of the room, but left him once they reached the stairs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ten minutes later Dean and Cas were pulling into Sam and Gabriel's driveway. The family was already packing up their car, so Dean gave them a hand. When they were done Sam and Gabriel got in their car and followed Dean to Charlie's house. When they arrived Charlie came out immediately.

"Hey Dudes! It's been awhile!" Charlie gave Dean a hug before turning to Sam. "Holy crap, you got tall Sam." Charlie laughed, looking up at the younger boy.

"Charlie. It's been a while. What brought you out here?" Sam asked, leaning over to hug her as well.

"Work mostly."

"Work, work, or hobby work?" Dean asked. Charlie just chuckled.

"Both. The company I work for needed me out here, so I came. The extra curricular activities followed."

"You're still into that hacking stuff?" Sam asked her.

"Of course! My life wouldn't be any fun without it. Why don't you all come in and get settled. I've got three spare rooms you guys can use."

"How come you have some much space Charlie?" Dean asked.

"Did you think I was kidding about the room and board thing?" Charlie answered.

"Kind of yeah."

"Well I was. This place used to be used for that. That was before I bought it. The company said they would buy whichever house I wanted so I chose the nicest I could find."

"Same old Charlie." Dean chuckled.

Charlie showed them inside, leading them to each of the rooms. The first room was for the five kids. The second room was for Sam and Gabriel. Finally the third was for Dean and Cas. After a well thought out dinner of Frozen pizza and chips, they sent the kids off to bed and explained to Charlie what the problem was. She was as skeptical as all of them, but agreed that it was the better option to situate themselves somewhere else for a little while. After some catching up and many beers the four boys made their way to bed. About one in the morning Sam's phone began to ring, waking him up. He didn't recognize the number, but he still answered it.

"Hello?" He asked, still groggy from just waking up.

"Moose, I need you to turn on the news now."

"What? Crowley, is that you? Why are you calling me at one in the morning?"

"Sam, just listen to me for once and turn on the news." Sam complied, turning on the TV in his and Gabriel's room to the news. The headline read.

'Police are left baffled after they find two nearby houses, only about five minutes apart, burning to the ground.' As Sam watched further, the information he gathered was that the only sign of who did it was a insignia burned into the grass in front of the houses. As he had recalled from previous news, in was the same insignia burned into other housed. Ones that had been attacked by Abaddon. Only those ones had never been burned to the ground before.
