Crossroad Blues Part 3

Heres Part 3

One more day! Yah!

As the brothers realize that soon George will be too drunk to carry on intelligible conversation, Sam urges him to think of who else spoke to the demon. George mentions a man named Hudson, and then reverts back to his rant about nobody being able to save them because they brought this upon themselves. He tells the brothers that he just “wants to take his medicine” and that he’s got lots of tricks, pointing to a braid of herbs on the table and two red mojo bags hanging over the doorway. He claims that the two bags are called Devil’s Bit mojo bags and that if the demon comes through that it will hold it for a “a hot minute”. As Dean and Sam try to convince him that they can save him, George is hearing none of it, instead choosing to wallow in self-deprecating misery as he tells the Winchesters to leave.

We find Dean at Joe’s Bar, at the dirt crossroads, during the day. It would seem that the Winchesters have hatched a plan to deal with the problem and that the eldest Winchester has taken the time to summon the female demoness, as we see her step to him with a smile.

Demon- I’m so glad you called.

(Dean takes half a step backwards, smiling back. The whole scenario looks like a flirtation dance, between two professionals.)

Dean- I’m just glad it worked.
Demon- (teasing) First time?
Dean- You could say that. . .
Demon- Oh, come on, don’t sell yourself short. (stepping closer) I know all about you Dean Winchester.

Dean reacts with surprise at hearing his name and his smile falters, he steps back again but then switches his infamous charm back on.

Dean- Well, don’t keep me in suspense, what have you heard?
Demon (sidling up to him in a seductive manner)- I heard you were handsome, but you’re just. . . .edible. What can I do for you, Dean?
Dean (deliberately scanning the area)- Maybe we should do this in my car, nice and private.
Demon- Sounds good to me.

As the demon and Dean walk they speak casually as Dean tells her the deal that he has in mind. He tells her that he wants to strike a deal to release Evan Hudson from his contract, but the demon refuses, telling him that Evan Hudson is non negotiable. As Dean informs her that he’ll make it worth her while he offers himself in Evan Hudson’s place. As this turn of events seems to take the demon off guard a private smile crosses over her face.

Demon- Well, well, well. (then) Like father, like son.

As we go off Dean’s shocked expression as the demon confirms his worst fear, we go to Evan Hudson’s study where he stands in the center of a circle, completely losing it. From Evan’s point of view the room is shaky, filled with the sounds of snarling and barking everywhere. He sees huge darting animal shadows in the doorway, coming right at him, and he sees a monstrous figure. The figure is Sam, but not Sam, facial features floating away from each other in a representation of evil. Sam instructs Evan to stay in the circle as the room tilts nauseatingly.

We return to where Dean is as the demon smirks at his discomfort. She mocks him, stating that he didn’t know about the deal that his father made for his life, and Dean steels himself and gets with the program. He reaches the passenger side door of the Impala and jerks it open and tensely gestures for her to enter. As she makes a comment about him being a gentleman, she spots the single arc of white chalk just visible under the Impala, hinting at a hidden drawing on the ground. She freezes and turns to him angrily.

Demon- You’ve got to be kidding me. A Devil’s Trap?

Dean doesn’t have a quick comeback to that, he’s been caught red handed as the demon goes on to call him stupid, stating that she could have helped him. Dean tries to smooth things over but she tells him that he blew it, not only for Evan Hudson but for himself, and as Dean wonders what she means by her statement that she could have given him what he needs she goes on to tell him that she could have given him his father. Dean stands steadily as he looks the demon in the eye, but she has hit a nerve with him and she knows it.

Demon- He’s all you can think about. You wake up and your first thought is “I can’t do this anymore.” You’re lit up with pain. It hurts so bad you think that it might be easier to just die.
(Dean tries to keep eye contact but has to look away because she’s absolutely right)
Demon- And the worst part is—You don’t even know.
Dean- Know what?
Demon- Where your dad is now.
