The Supernatural X-Files

I Know What You Did Last Summer

Dean and Maxima watched as Sam appeared to be drunk and was playing pool with a man.

"Brian, come on, man, just one more. Just-just give me a chance to win it back," Sam pleaded

"It's your cash," Brian said

"Excuse me." Dean said as he intervened "My brother's a little sauced to be making bets,"

"He insisted,"

"Yeah, but you've already taken, what, two bills off him? I'm just saying,"

"Hey, shut up, Dean. I'm fine," Sam argued

"No, you're not fine. You're drunk!"

Sam ignored Dean "Let's make it five hundred,"

"Five hundred?"

"Sure," Brian shrugged

Sam put the money down on the pool table.

"Five hundred. Your break,"

Maxima watched on, as Sam looked up at her and winked. Maxima raised her eyebrows at Sam.

Sam broke, sinking several balls, then saw Ruby across the bar. "Keep the money," he put his cue down on the pool table and walked towards Ruby.

"Keep the money? What..." Dean asked only to be interrupted by Maxima.

"There you are," Max told him "Figured you could be sneaky did ya?"

Dean quirked a questioning eyebrow

"Sorry gentlemen but I would reconsider touching that money if I were you," Maxima explained to Brian

"And why is that?" Brian smirked, looking Max up and down.

Maxima flashed her badge "FBI business. Been following this guy and his brother on the charge of making counterfeit money...so if you don't mind..." she grabbed the money off the pool table.

"Hey, some of that is mine!"

Max quirked an eyebrow "Well I'm sorry, but I can't give you any of this as it is now a part of an ongoing investigation. Now unless you also want to go down for aiding and abetting a counterfeit ring..."

Brian raised his hands up "Nope...no problem here..."

Maxima smirked "Thought so," she roughly grabbed Dean and dragged him towards where Sam had gone off to.

Dean couldn't help but chuckle "If I didn't know any better Special Agent Mulder, I'd say you have a dark side,"

Maxima chuckled as she counted the money and took half of it out of the pile.

"Woah..." Dean said as he realized what she was doing.

Max handed the cash to him "Consider it my cut," she winked only to become stoic as they approached Ruby. "Well, you got a lot of nerve showing up here,"

"I just have some info, and then I'm gone," Ruby explained

"What is it?" Sam asked

"I'm hearing a few whispers,"

"Ooh, great, demon whisperers-that's reliable," Dean muttered

"Girl named Anna Milton escaped from a locked ward yesterday. The demons seem pretty keen on finding her. Apparently, some real heavy hitters turned out for the Easter-egg hunt,"

"Why? Who is she?" Sam questioned

"No idea. But I'm thinking that she's important, 'cause the order is to capture her alive. I just figured that whatever the deal is, you might want to find this girl before the demons do,"

Sam looked over at Dean and Maxima "Look, maybe we should check it out,"

"Actually, we're working a case, but thanks," Dean explained.

Maxima couldn't help but roll her eyes at his stupidity.

"What case?" Ruby asked

"Uh, we've got leads, big leads," Dean rambled

"Sounds dangerous,"

"Yeah, well, it sure ain't goose-chasing after some chick who, for all we know, doesn't exist, just because you say she's important,"

"I'm just delivering the news. You can do whatever you want with it. Far as I'm concerned, I told you, I'm done," despite Maxima's hatred towards the female demon, she couldn't help but be intrigued.

"Wait, wait, wait." Max called out as she sighed "This hospital Anna escaped from...what's the name?"

***

Dean was driving with Sam in the passenger seat as Maxima was finishing up on the phone.

"Can I get a copy of the missing persons' report?" Maxima asked on the phone "Great. Okay. Thanks," she hung up "Well, Anna Milton's definitely real,"

"Don't mean the case is real. And this hospital's a three-day drive," Dean complained

"We've driven further for less, Dean." Sam argued, Dean only shaking his head "You got something to say, say it,"

"Oh come on guys...not while I'm in the car," Max whined

"Oh, I'm saying it...this sucks," Dean said

"You're not pissed we're going after the girl. You're pissed Ruby threw us the tip," Sam said

"Right. 'Cause as far as you're concerned, the hell-bitch is practically family. Yeah, boy, something major must've happened while I was downstairs, 'cause I come back, and...and you're BFF with a demon?"

"I told you, Dean, she helped me go after Lilith,"

"Well, thanks for the thumbnail...real vivid. You want to fill in a little detail?"

"Sure, Dean, let's trade stories. You first. How was Hell? Don't spare the details,"

"That's ENOUGH!" Maxima exclaimed as she had had enough of the brothers' petty argument. But her outburst had caused the Impala itself to shut off. Max looked at the boys in shock "De, I'm sorry...I didn't...I didn't mean..."

"Hey...hey," Sam told her as he placed a reassuring hand on her hand that was on the seat "It's all good," he looked over at Dean as Dean turned the keys and the car once more purred to life.

"See, M&M...no harm, no foul," Dean smiled softly at her to show he wasn't mad.

"I guess I still don't know my full strength," Max laughed

"That's what we're here for...to help you through this," Sam explained.

Maxima nodded but immediately turned her head to watch the scenery go by as she and the boys drove to the Hospital.
