Chapter 13

Alex looked around the hotel room in confusion before she remembered Lucifer was in her head.

She closed the magazine she was reading and put it aside.

She hadn't heard from the archangel in a while. She wasn't exactly in the best of moods, because she heard from Crowley that the mansion was burnt down recently. Alex was glad her pet hellhound had been with her a lot recently.

Alex sighed deeply, Gabriel gave her a confused look. "Lucifer." She muttered. Gabriel just nodded, looking a little worried now.

Alex frowned.

"Oh joy..."

Alex asked.

Alex rolled her eyes. Alex asked again.

Alex stopped her mental message, looking across the room to where her father now stood.

"Hello darling."

"Dad...?" Alex glanced between Gabriel and her father, not liking where this was going. "What are you doing here?"

"I was just checking in on you...Why is here?" Crowley glared over to Gabriel.

"Uhm...I- ah... Have a job to do so I'm just gonna go..." Alex got up and grabbed her jacket, putting her hand on the doorknob. "You two have fun, kay? Don't kill each other though."

"What do you mean you have a job?" Her father questioned. "And where have you been this whole time?! Not with this, angel, I hope."

. "Well. I have a hunt to do. Some couple ate each other to death," Alex waved him off. Crowley seemed to buy it somewhat, while Gabriel knew differently, giving her a confused look. "I'll call you later, ok?" Alex ran out the door, ignoring their protests.

"Alex!" Both Gabriel and Crowley said at the same time, glaring at each other afterwards.

"What the hell are you doing with my daughter?"

"Nothing. I was going to help her on this case." Gabriel lied, crossing his arms.

"Really? Why would she need an angels help, hmm?"

"W-Well..." Gabriel trailed off.

"And where did she get those scars?" Crowley continued throwing questions at Gabriel.

"How am I supposed to know?" Gabriel shrugged.

"You do know. You've been with her for a while know."

"How would you know?"

"I'm not going to leave her on her own, not completely. I always have my demons watching out for her." Crowley informed.

"Okay. But if you want to know anything, you should be asking Alex, not me."

"She doesn't tell me anything!" Crowley exclaimed.

"Then why should I?" Gabriel retorted.

"I'll make you." Crowley threatened.

"Oh, really?" Gabriel chuckled.

"Sam?" Alex easily recognized the 6' 4" male walking past her with a bag of food from somewhere.

"Alex?" Sam looked surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Hunting, how 'bout you?" Alex asked.

"Hunting...?"

"Yeah, but anyway, what's up with you guys?"

"Well, ah, Me and Dean found a case here so we're investigating that," Sam shifted his feet.

"The couple that ate each other, right?" Alex assumed.

"Yeah."

"Hey, how about I join you guys...I mean, if it's cool with you." Alex watched as Sam contemplated his answer.

"Okay." Sam agreed. "C'mon."

Alex trailed behind Sam and Dean as the walked down a hospital hallway, all three of them dressed up to play FBI agents. Alex noticed a man walk by in a black suit, holding a black suitcase Alex didn't bother mentioning Famine to the brothers, figuring they already knew.

"Agent Marley, you just can't stay away." The coroner greeted Dean.

"Heard you tagged another double suicide?"

"Well, I just finished closing them up."

"Dr.Corman, these are my partners, special agent Cliff and White." Dean gestured to Sam and Alex.

The doctor shook both of their hands, "I've finished my prelims. I pulled the organ sets and sent off the tox samples."

"Great. Mind if we take a look at the bodies?" Sam asked.

"Not at all. But like I said, their good and plenties are already tupperwared." Corman opened the fridge to reveal all the victims organs.

"Super."

"Just leave the keys with Marty upfront." The doctor threw his keys to Dean. "And please, refrigerate after opening." The doctor put on a hat and left the room.

Alex somewhat helped the boys look at the packaged body parts, wrinkling her nose and regretting her decision.

"Hey." Dean interrupted the silence, pushing a heart towards Sam, "Be my valentine?" Sam gave him a 'are you serious' face and Dean smiled. Alex chuckled a bit, putting down the lung she was inspecting.

"Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah. Wait a second." Sam grabbed the heart container Dean had, then got another one for comparison. "These hearts both have identical marks....Check it out..." Sam pulled over a magnifying glass and looked at the heart under it. "Looks like some kind of letter..."

"Oh no..." Sam muttered.

"What?" Alex and Dean said at the same time.

Sam pushed the magnifying glass aside, "I think it's Enochian."

"You mean like angel scratches?"

Alex thought. Angel marks.
