figure it out.

Kathryn nodded. "Yeah, I guess that's understandable." She said. She knew that some people didn't like teachers, so her giving off a teacher vibe obviously would be a bad thing in that case, though she didn't think that that would be an issue right now. It didn't seem that way anyway. "Yeah, I have actually. It's better off this way though, trust me on that." If she lied to her mom and told her that she was seeing someone, it wouldn't get her off her back. Her mom would want to meet the guy and then she'd be talking about marriage and wanting grandkids and it was honestly already giving her a headache just thinking about it. "That makes sense. You're better off. Technology is convenient sometimes, but it sucks a lot too."

---

"You definitely lucked out. If you called them, nothing good would come of it. Trust me on that." Sam said, chuckling slightly. He really didn't understand how some people actually believed that those guys were the real deal. They obviously weren't professionals, and their videos weren't even a little bit convincing. It was ridiculous. It showed that people would believe just about anything nowadays. "It's nice to meet you too, Autumn." He sent a small smile her way before taking another sip of his drink.

"I think the best solution for your problem is find someone who doesn't mind teachers. And continue to tone your mother out until you do find someone." Dean told her before finishing off his beer. And it seemed simple enough. It wasn't like she really had much of a choice though really. It was either keep doing things how she was doing them or give the boss' son a chance, which would never happen. Dean was about to say something else to her but didn't get the chance because Crowley had shown up and was whispering something about wanting to leave in his ear. At least he wasn't rude in front of Kathryn. "Yea I'm not ready to go. I'm having fun here and if you hadn't noticed I'm with a girl. Just go drink something and lighten up a little." He said not wanting to hear him bitch anymore. Dean might listen to his pleas to leave if there was something major like Sam would find them or something because that would just end badly.

---

"Yea well if I ever have a ghost problem I think personally that I would want someone a little bit more professional than they were." Autumn said laughing again. She smiled at him and finished off her drink feeling better than when she'd first walked in. It was nice talking to Sam since he seemed to understand things in her life others didn't. And it was very refreshing that he believed her story about her brother since so far no one ever had. "So do you mind if I ask about your job I guess?" She asked him biting her lip. It was a very differnt way of life she supposed she could call it and was just curious about it. Like was he ever slightly freaked out that the stuff was real and things. Which she would totally understand if he didn't want her to pry. She was just curious though.

Kathryn nodded. "Honestly, looking for someone to be with isn't at the top of my list of priorities at the moment. My mother might think so, but it really isn't." She said, shrugging her shoulders. She wasn't one of those women who just could never stay single. In fact, she'd only really dated and been with a handful of guys over the years, something that seemed to surprise a lot of people. She sipped her beer, watching as another man approached Dean, whispering something to him that she couldn't make out amidst the atmosphere in the crowded bar. She quirked a brow at Dean's bluntness. "Is that a friend of yours?" She asked curiously.

---

Sam chuckled slightly. "Oh, you'd definitely want someone who actually knows what they're talking about." He said. He didn't understand how some people actually believed those guys were the real deal. Half of what they did and said just wasn't accurate in the slightest. They had absolutely no idea what they were doing most of the time. He sipped his drink, shrugging his shoulders in response to her later words. "Ask away." He told her, sending a small smile her way. He was surprised that she hadn't started asking questions yet, and he didn't mind her doing so at all. He kind of expected it.

Dean turned his head to look at Kathryn once Crowley had walked away and nodded his head. "Yea uh I guess you could call him a friend." He said not really sure what else to call Crowley. That wasn't really something he'd ever thought about before, of course up until recently he hadn't exactly been able to stand the guy. Hell he'd kept him locked up in a cellar for he didn't even remember how long just so he couldn't run around annoying him with his stupid shit. Things were different now though. "We're just kind of traveling right now. Kind of I guess like a road trip, anyways he picked the last place we stopped and stayed at and we were there for a few days. And this was where I wanted to stay, he's ready to get back on the road though. I however am really enjoying this place, and think we should stay a few more days." He told her having no intentions on leaving unless he absolutely had to. Wasn't like it was gonna hurt anyone for them to stay a while longer.

---

Autumn laughed and nodded her head. "Yes. I would totally want someone who actually knows what they're talking about." She said positive that that would be the best route to take were she ever in need of help with a ghost. "Okay. How long exactly have you been in this family business of yours? And how exactly does all of this work? I mean do people actually pay you to come fend off evil, or whatever exactly it is you do, or do you just go hunting for the next evil to fight off? Which if you don't get paid by the people you help how on earth do you make any money?" She said before she realized she'd just asked like five questions at once, which she hadn't meant to do. But they all kind of stemmed from one another so they flowed out together. And she was a very curious person.

Kathryn nodded slowly. Something told her that "friend" wasn't the best way to describe the man she'd just seen Dean talking to. It was all in how Dean had answered her, and also in the short exchange she'd seen between the two. Though she hadn't been able to make out much, other than Dean's final comment, she could just tell that there was at least a little bit of tension between the two. She didn't know why, but it was there, and it was rather noticeable too. "Well, if he chose the last place, I think it's only fair that you guys stay here a little while longer." She said. "And since you're so keen on staying, I think it's about time we order another round." She smirked slightly.

---

Sam chuckled slightly. "You'd be surprised how many people actually think those two know what they're talking about." He said, shaking his head in disbelief. He didn't understand why some people were so easy to trust and believe everything that they hear. Maybe he just didn't trust as easily as others, or maybe he was just able to judge people better. He didn't really know. "My entire life basically. I've been on the road with my dad and brother since I was six months old." He frowned slightly, his thoughts shifting to Dean for a moment. "I didn't really know what was going on until I was older though. Dad used to go work a case and my brother would keep an eye on me in whatever motel we happened to stop at." Now that he thought about it, Dean took care of him more than their dad did. He was more of a parent to him, and that was actually kind of sad. But he couldn't, and wouldn't, think too much about Dean. He came here to clear his mind and that was what he planned on doing. "Well, you've got to know what you're looking for, keep an eye out for things in the paper and on the news, and if it sounds like the real deal, it usually is. Well, no...this isn't a paid job..." He didn't know if he should get into all of the credit card scams and identity thefts he'd probably been involved in over the years.

"I do believe that's the best thing I've heard all night." Dean said with a smirk of his own before he was ordering them another round of shots. He didn't give a shit if Crowley wanted to leave, or whatever else he had to complain about. Which was more than Sam had to complain about every. Hell Dean would've been fine if Crowley just left without him. After all, Dean was a grown man, he'd been on his own before and he was more than capable of taking care of himself. He'd kill when he needed to kill to feed the stupid mark and then go right back to his every day business. Which was sitting at the bar talking to the gorgeous blonde from his past. Or whatever other gorgeous girl sat next to him at the bar. And this was the life, he loved it. Having nothing in the world to worry about, it was the best feeling he'd ever had.

"Well with most of today's youth and all the insane things they actually believe I can take a guess and say it's a lot." Autumn said shaking her head at the thought of it. It was a little insane really thinking about the amount of things that people believed just because it was posted on the internet. "It's like today's youth wasn't taught that not everything on the internet is real, or the truth." She added, which she got that there was a ton of true facts on line, but not all of it was reliable. "That sounds kind of awful actually. I moved around a lot too when I was younger. Never stayed in the same place long. Honestly I don't think I've ever had one place that felt like home. Because I was never able to put down roots anywhere, and even when I did have a chance I was helping raise my brother so I didn't really have the time." She said sometimes wishing that things had been different and she knew where home was, but it wasn't. "And sorry if I'm prying or anything." She said not wanting to annoy him. "I'm also not going to ask how you make money because I'm sure it's something I'm better off not knowing." She said figuring it was probably something illegal or something, which she doubted was mugging old ladies, and she was probably better off not knowing.

"I was hoping you'd say that." Kathryn said, smirking slightly. She still didn't know where her friend was, though she honestly didn't think she would care if she something came up and she couldn't make it or she'd simply forgotten about their plans altogether. She was doing just fine without her friend there. She was catching up, not really, though she didn't know what else to call it, with a guy who she'd slept with a couple of years back, and she was honestly hoping for the same outcome as last time. She hadn't hooked up with anyone in a few months, and who better than someone who was attractive that she already knew?

---

"No, you're right. Kids today will believe just about anything." Sam said, shaking his head. He didn't think he'd ever understand why people believed what they did sometimes, however he really wouldn't understand why kids were so quick to believe everything that they heard. "It sure does seem that way." He took another sip of his drink. "I know what you mean. It's hard for a place to really feel like home when you're hardly there long enough to let it happen." He shook his head, dismissing her later words. "It's fine, you're not prying." He offered her a small smile. "Yeah, you'd definitely be better off." He chuckled slightly.

"I say we just keep the drinks coming really until we get tired of drinking them." Dean said figuring they were gonna sit at the bar for the night and talk or whatever the hell they were gonna do they might as well have drinks in them. So far the night was going pretty well too, and he had a pretty good feeling of where it was all heading. Which he wouldn't have minded at all. Dean did after all love sex, especially good sex with attractive women. And given that he'd already slept with her before, even if it'd been years ago, he knew that it'd be good sex. Which in the end meant that if they kept drinking and she was okay with sleeping with him then he was okay. Because even demon Dean wouldn't think of forcing her into anything, at least he was a slightly decent demon and thinking about her feelings. Oh yea and buying her drinks first.

---

Autumn knew it was true. Kids were so willing to believe everything they read online that they'd believe anything really. Hell she could tell someone she was the boogeyman or something and they'd more than likely believe her. Or better yet if she posted it online they'd read about it and that would just automatically mean it was true. Which was totally insane. And she wasn't even going to get into all the video games and shit they played that totally had some weird affect on their minds too. "Yes. It's so hard. And even now that I'm older and have every chance to find somewhere to settle down and make home I can't, because it doesn't feel right." She said with a sigh, it kind of sucked not having a place to call home, even if she had gotten used to it by now. "Okay then since I'm better off I won't ask anymore. So do you have any hobbies? Like do you enjoy reading or playing the guitar in your free time?" She asked deciding to change the subject.

"I think that's the best idea you've had all night, Winchester." Kathryn said, a smirk tugging at the corners of her lips. And it honestly was. Sure, she hadn't exactly come here to get really drunk, but her friend was still MIA, and she was catching up, or whatever it was they were doing, with Dean. Plus, she was kind of hoping for a certain outcome from all of this. She hadn't had sex in a couple of months and, in her opinion, that was a couple of months too many. Plus, she knew sex with Dean Winchester was good. It had been in the past, and she highly doubted that that was something that had changed in the years since she'd last hooked up with him.

---

Sam honestly just didn't understand kids nowadays. And that probably made him sound older than he actually was, but it was the honest truth. They were all so quick to believe everything that they heard, and forget it if it was something that they'd read on the internet. What had made them all so trusting was beyond him. Maybe he wasn't trusting enough, it was kind of hard to trust a lot of people in his line of work, but he would never believe every single little thing that came out of someone else's mouth. "I know what you mean." He said, frowning slightly. "I've tried settling down myself, and it just never seems to work out." Mainly because he never managed to stay out of hunting. For some reason, every time he gave it up, he ended up back at it again eventually. "I do like to read actually. I don't always have a lot of time, but I try to make time whenever I can."

"Well glad you like it." Dean said knowing what his intentions were from this. He didn't plan on getting drunk, or at least not so drunk he wouldn't remember anything or he'd be bad in bed. He just wanted to get buzzed slightly, then no matter how much seducing it took he planned on getting Kathryn in bed. Mostly because that's the kind of guy Dean was, but also because it'd been a while shockingly enough since he'd actually had sex. And what better than to have sex with someone you've had sex with before in a situation like this. Because from what he could remember he'd enjoyed sleeping with her, and that was always a plus. Plus he knew he was good so it'd be a fun time for her too.

---

Autumn felt like she'd really made a good choice coming to the bar tonight. There was something about Sam that as rather comforting almost actually. And she wasn't sure what, or if he even felt the same thing she did. After all for all she really knew he could think she was weird and annoying or something. But she felt comfortable right now. Which was always hard for her around guys. Maybe it was that he believed her story about her brother and understood the whole never having a home thing so they were kind of connected on some weird other level or something. Whatever reason it was though didn't really matter she didn't suppose. "Me too. It's relaxing so when I have the chance I enjoy it. Do you have a favorite book?"

Kathryn honestly had a feeling that she knew what his intentions were, and she honestly didn't mind either. It wasn't like she hadn't slept with Dean once before, and it wasn't like the sex had been bad or anything like that. In actuality, it had been really great. Maybe even some of the best sex she'd ever had. "How long do you think you'll be in town for?" She asked curiously after downing a shot. She was just curious. She knew that he wasn't planning on sticking around forever, though she really did wonder if they'd be hooking up more than once while he was here.

---

Sam was glad that he'd gotten to talking with Autumn. Though he had thought about his brother a couple of times so far that night, he was a little bit more distracted than he would have been if he'd been back at the bunker doing research. He was glad that he'd gotten out and decided to go to this bar in particular. If he hadn't, he wouldn't be talking to Autumn. And he'd probably be worrying about finding his brother and getting ahold of Crowley. "I can't really choose just one, though I did start reading the Game of Thrones series. I watch the show when I have time." He frowned slightly, realizing the last time he had watched it was with Dean and Charlie.

"I don't know, I plan on being here at least another week though." Dean told her not really giving a rats ass about anything else. If Crowley wanted to leave and go somewhere else then he could, Dean was a grown man and he could take care of himself. If Sam came looking for him them so be it. He'd just fight off Sam until he got it through his brothers skull that he didn't wanna go back. Really if it came down to it Dean might've even been okay with staying here until he got sick of the place. Which could be who knew when. Why would he want to leave anyways? There was plenty for him to drink, eat, and there was an attractive girl keeping his attention who he knew he'd end up in bed with. And who knew maybe the longer he was here the more they'd end up in bed together. It was like his own little paradise so why would he really want to leave?

---

Autumn nodded her head before responding. "Well then I have to admit you have good taste. It's hands down in my top three favorite shows. And the books are so amazing. The only thing that I bugs me is that George Martin makes the characters so loveable that you love them and then he kills them. I don't think I could tell you how many times the series has just broken my heart so much that all that made sense was ice cream and tissues for comfort." She told him knowing that it was one of those things where every character she ended up liking died. Well maybe not every character, but a lot of characters she liked. It was just like a never ending cycle with her and the series. It was always the same. She'd get attached to a character and then bam they'd be killed off, she'd be sad eat a whole pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream until she felt a little better, then she'd either go back to watching or reading.

"Well, if you don't have anywhere in particular to be tomorrow, what do you say about getting out of here?" Alright, she did it. She'd gone for it. Honestly, Katherine didn't think she had anything to lose. She and Dean had hooked up in the past, and she hadn't had sex in a while, so she figured that she might as well just go for it. This was the perfect opportunity really. She knew that she wouldn't be disappointed, and she didn't necessarily have to worry about any sort of commitment either. If she wanted it to strictly be sex, which she saw no reason for it to be anything but that, she knew that Dean was fine with that. Plus, if she was otherwise occupied, and she wasn't around to answer her mother's 24/7 calls, she'd appear busy, and then it might even get her mother off of her back for a little while. Really, it was a win-win situation no matter what.

---

"Well, don't spoil too much for me. I don't exactly have all the time in the world, so I haven't read all of the books yet." Sam told her, chuckling slightly. He hardly ever got a day where there wasn't something to worry about. And, usually just when things seemed like they were starting to slow down, and he might even be able to put hunting on the back burner for a little while, something else came up. Right now, finding Dean and figuring out what the hell was even going on was his main priority.
