Guilty turned to stare at him, and saw how very busy he was with act of not being interested. Legs crossed, eyes focused on the hole in the wall, cigar slightly crumpled between his fingers… She paused, wondering briefly if he truly couldn’t guess or if he was just feigning ignorance at her expense. Neither of which she would put past him and both of which, as unlikely as that seemed, were probable at the same time.

“Well, then you better hope that the other one is in working order,” he stated casually – as of course, he would not be the one to do any fixing, his voice clear and close to her ear, and she realized that Dean was practically leaning over her shoulder.
“I’m not that lucky,” she breathed deeply picking up her rifle as he pulled back and they prepared to head out once more. “Stay close.”
“Like dancing with your shadow.” Puff of smoke covered his face like a stage mask as they descended into lightless corridors.
