Dean and John walk up to the star press Where Amanda workes and askes for her at the front desk the secretary escorts them back to Amanda's office where she was bitting on a pencil and reading a layout of an article that was supposedly going to press when there came a knock on the door she looked up and saw two men she looked to the younger of them and although he had grown out of his goofy teen look into a very attractive man she could still see the boy in him whom she remembered from her high school days she walked around her desk and held out her hand to John to shake
AMANDA
you must be Mr. winchester, it's nice to meet you, I knew your son in high school briefly the three weeks he and sam were in town, I'm sorry I never had the pleasure of meeting you back then.
JOHN
no my career takes me all over the country so we don't end up staying in one place for long. he said as he shook her hand he was looking at her intently giving a tight lipped smile unsure of what to make of this past relationship Dean and Amanda seemed to have had
AMANDA
yes I recall Dean stating that you worked all around the country, I guess that was part of Deans Charm
she said as she looked to dean with a slight smile on her face.
DEAN
Uh, yeah look Its really good to see you Amanda, you look like things are going good for you.
AMANDA
yes well they are actually, I have a Career that challenges me my life is full to the brim.
JOHN
so about the murders, what can you tell us.? he sighed quickly seeing the tension that was building between Dean and Amanda apparently their parting was less then friendly he realized.
Amanda looked back to john and motioned for them to take a seat in front of her desk and she moved back to her own seat.
AMANDA
So there have been at least 6 women with in the last six to eight months that have been murdered, I am not sure if you have had the oppertunity to investigate into this yet but from my sources at the sheriff station all six women were blond with blue eyes above average height 5'5 -5'7 feet tall all ranging from 110 lbs to 120 lbs all of these women work at varying places libraries, botiques, lawyers assistants and even stay at home mothers the commonality to these other then the physical profile is that they are all single parents whom send their kids to mitsfields it a fairly new after school play program since thier work hours often go beyond when the kids come out of school, now the Kids I don't think play into the profile because mitsfield accepts kids ranging from preschool up to 8th grade where the older kids have a buddy program for them with a supervising adult while with the younger kids it is essentially a 2-3 hour day care and all the victims children are of varrying ages, my source at the Coroners office has said that the women are bitten and Injected with a toxin resembeling snake venom there aren't any other injection sites on the body so the Coroner is unable to give any other reason as to why the body of the victim filled with the said venom other then someone or something had to bite time to get it in their blood stream, but he obviously can't let the newspaper report that so its no wonder that the sheriff is saying animal attack but what kind of animal takes its victim from one place, kill that said victim drain the blood and then dump the body down by the river?"
Dean was astounded by all the information that she had supplied them with she obviously is a very good reporter to have all these contacts and research already at hand, she was smart back in High School so its no wonder that she took the town by storm afterwards with her investigative journalism he looked around the office seeing how well it was decorated and organized with everything in its place the looked at her desk every thing squared off to the T and every thing placed adequetly apart she was a neat freak and maybe a little OCD he noticed there wern't alot of family photos like you would normally see on a desk except a photo of a little girl with dirty blond hair and sea green eyes holding a yellow daisy up to her nose she was cute the cutest kid he's ever seen he thought he looked at Amanda's hand and didn't see a wedding band so he assumed it was a niece or something remembering how rule bound she was in high School she was the typical good girl and he was surprised the he'd been the one to pop her cherry so to speak he was zoning out a bit when his attention was brought back to focus by his father asking Amanda how she knew about what they did
JOHN
So what makes you think that we have the ability to help out here we arn't law men, why not leave it to the local sheriff to figure out?
AMANDA
No I don't suppose alot of what you do abides with in the bounds of the law Mr winchester she looked to John pointedly, I know what you do because Dean and I had a rendezvous in your Motel room one afternoon in high school and while dean was in the bathroom freshening up I saw your paperwork on the table lying out for anyone to see, I read what I could and peiced the rest togather essentially your family is the reason I got into journalism I like getting to the bottom of the underlying dirt of things and cleaning things up it's my community after all, I do my part to do what I can to keep my town safe. so it was suppose to be kept a big secret then having things lying around certianly isn't going to help with that.
John turned to his son and lifted an eyebrow in a questioning manner and dean just shrugged he didn't have anything to say it was 7 years ago what was he suppose to do about it now.
AMANDA
I could give you my contact at the sheriff station and the coroners office if you need to question them further ?
DEAN
Yeah, that would be helpful and also we'd like to look around Mitsfield to see if the murder might be someone associated with the school as well.
AMANDA
I'm not sure how you would go about investigating the school, they only give tours to parents who'd be admitting their children into the program! she stated
DEAN
well we will handle that. he didn't elaborate anymore than that and stood to move from the chair with his father they made it to the door and was about to exit when Amanda's voice stoped dean/
AMANDA
Dean May I have a minute of your time alone?
Dean looked to his father and got a nod in response and closed the door after his father exited and turned back to face Amanda not quite sure what else there was to say or be said to each other so he waited for her to start the conversation again.
AMANDA
Honestly Dean never in a hundred years did I think that I would see you again, as you know we didn't leave things well when you left and after what happened between us I was fine never seeing you again, but now that you are here I need to tell you....
she paused for a minute her eyes darting back and forth as if trying to decide on how best to bust his butt for what happened all those years ago and he was just going to have to sit there and take it like a man get the whole Hell hath to fury like a woman scorned treatment like he was expecting.
AMANDA
Because your here now and I want you to know that I don't expect anything from you but I made a decesion back then that because of your don't care and givem hell attitude that you wouldn't care in the least bit anyway but your older now and I have to face facts that even though you still may not care you should know that when we slept togather some how I got pregnant and you are a father.
Dean was stunned, he didn't know what to say he was astonished, then mistified, then doubtful.
DEAN
I don't have a child we used protection so it can't be mine. he fumed while leaning back in his chair.
AMANDA
Leanded forward in her chair in a slightly menacing way then said evenly
"Dean Winchester you know very well that I was a virgin when we had sex and we never did have any other encounter after that first time and you know that I was not the type of girl to go and have casual sex with the next male that came along you were my once and only sexual partner for two years after that because one I was pregnant and nobody wanted to sleep with a pregnant teen and two after our child was born there was no time for a love life between graduating high School being a teen mom, Starting college and taking care of a baby, you are most deffinately the father and besides she leand back in her chair smirking the only protection that is a hundred percent effective if abstinence."
Dean was stunned he didn't want to believe, he couldn't be a dad, he had no role model of how to be a good dad, yeah he practically raised Sammy but that was different he was his kid brother not his son, John always got the final say all Dean had to do was make sure the kid had clean clothes ate three times a day and make sure the kid stayed alive, being a father ment you had to teach stuff, be the example, sacrifice your own freedom and happiness for the sake of the kid and that was not who dean was or at least he didn't think he was.
Dean looked back at Amanda.
DEAN
"So why are you telling me now if you don't want anything from me?" he asked
AMANDA
" Dean, when we were in high School could you honestly say that you could have sliced any time for me and our child with you taking care of sam and traveling across the country with your dad?"
DEAN
"No, I wouldn't have been able to carve any time out for you and our child, but not knowing either and then have it right in your face six years later isn't helpful either, I mean my life hasn't changed much yeah sammy's at college now but I still travel and I'm not the type to come back every month to check up on people. Dean stated and Amanda nodded her head knowing all this was true
AMANDA
well like I said previously I don't expect anything from you but now that your here you could meet her if you would like and maybe that would be enough for you because if ever in your life you were courious of what a child of yours would be like then at least you would know, it's up to you meet her and have a conversation or not and go about your business. and thats when amanda walked around her desk and opened the door to her office for him to leave as he passed by she touched his elbow and he stopped and looked at her expectintly.
AMANDA
" I think that because that I was a virgin and you were the bad boy that I had some romantic notion in my head that it would be like kissing the toad and it turning into a prince that you would change for me and when I found you making out with Amy Holdstead I was hurt and angry and I felt ripped apart and I was going to tell you about the pregnancy that day but after catching you I wanted to cause you just as much pain as you did me so I kept this secret for 7 years and honestly it's a relief to tell you because every child should know their parent and now one is better off knowing who they are and where they come from so its your decesion to make and I am sorry that I put more on your plate then just coming to kill a supernatural monster if this is whats happening here, but know you know that some one shares half of you and who you are let me know what you decide ok."
Dean nodded and left the office with so many thoughts and emotions clouding up his head he didn't know what to do, He made it back to the Impalla and shook his head now was not the time to be deciding anything they had a case to work and John would be upset if Dean didn't have his head in the game so that is what he focused on that's what he did best he put his head down and plowed through the crap that was happening around them.
