A Kind Word and a Smile

"Hello, Dean? Hey, where are you?"

"Nowhere near anything you can sell, Bela," the voice on the other end snarled. "Whadda you want?"

"I just wanted..." she hesitated deliberately, smirking at Gordon, but keeping every hint of a smile out of her voice. "Well, I just wanted to say thank you, for helping me in Massachusetts."

There was a brief silence. "...Really?" Dean said flatly.

"Yeah. I've had a chance to think about it, and saying thank you was something I should have done, rather than throwing money at you."

"So this means you want the ten grand back." She could hear Dean's eyes rolling in the tone of his voice.

Bela grinned widely. "No, of course not! I just wanted to say thank you." She turned Gordon's nicely valuable mojo bag in her hand. "Thank you so very much."

"You'll understand if I don't say 'you're welcome'," Dean growled.

"Of course," said Bela, checking the progress of the second hand on her watch. "Entirely your prerogative."

"Well," Dean said, "You're welcome anyway."

Bela stared past the watch on her wrist and the mojo bag in her hand for a second, silent.

"But stay the hell away from Sam and me," Dean snapped. "And my freaking car."

Bela smirked and re-focused on the second hand of her watch as it swept past the place it had been when Dean had answered her call. "Right. I will then. Must dash. Bye-eee." She disconnected.

"So, where are they?" Gordon demanded.

Bela dialed a second number, glancing at the obsessed hunter with a raised eyebrow. "Patience, darling. Hello, Kim? It's Bela.... Good, and you? ...Of course we can talk to Emperor Schnoogums again soon. Next month perhaps?" Bela rolled her eyes.

Gordon fumed.

"Listen, lovie? I have a small favor to ask. Could you be a dear and tell me the location of the last cellular tower the call I placed just before this one went through? ...You can? Wonderful! ...No, cross street is just fine. Thanks!"

Bela covered the mouth piece and winked at Gordon. "I'll have it in a few minutes. See how easy things go if you're willing to make a deal like a reasonable person?"

Gordon kept fuming.

Very nicely done. I really love how it's not Dean himself who tells her where they are - that's be bugging me since I saw it last night and this is the perfect solution to it.

Of course we can talk to Emperor Schnoogums again soon This is an awesome line but I really want to know the backstory to it.

Cool! I like that Dean doesn't let her off the hook too easily, and it makes perfect sense that she would get their location from a trace.

Very nice! And very much they way I envision it actually happening.

I like Gordon fuming in the background, too. :-)

Nice! Makes a lot of sense. (And for some reason when I hear Kim I think of Kim Manners...*snerk*)

I definitely prefer this explanation to the thought that Dean openly told her where they were. Nicely done. :) Very good Bela voice here.

Thanks!

This is an awesome line but I really want to know the backstory to it.

I don't know that there is a specific backstory, just someone for whome Bela performs sceances for a dearly departed pet in exchange for access to useful things like the ability to trace cell phone calls every so often. I'm not sure what Emperor Schnoogums was, I'm thinking either a pampered to death literally chinese crested dog, or a particularly neurotic siamese fighting fish that kept trying to fight its own reflection and permanently KO'd itself bashing its head into the wall of its bowl.

Thanks! Dean telling Bela where they are makes no sense, and I think they were hinting at something like this with the destruction of the phones later in the episode.

edit because 'u' and 'i' are very different things, and 'destriction' is not what Sam and Dean did to their phones *facepalm*

Fuming is kind of Gordon's default position, I think. *nods*

And for some reason when I hear Kim I think of Kim Manners...*snerk*

Hee! I didn't even think of that! I was trying to pick a gender-unbiased first name that hadn't been used in the show yet, and didn't even think of Kim Manners. Shame on me!

Though that would be true crack... hm.

Bela: "Hello, Dean? Hey, where are you guys?"
Dean: "Bite me." *click*
Bela: *dials* Hi, Kim?
Kim Manners: What? Who is this?
Bela: It's Bela, love.
Kim: Ha ha very funny, Lauren. Did you need something?
Bela: Where are Sam and Dean right now?
Kim: ...you mean set-wise? I think they're over at the shoot in New West-
Bela: No, no, where are Sam and Dean.
Kim: ... Did the boys put you up to this Lauren?
Bela: I just need to know.
Kim: *sighs* There's a bar called the Spider where they're tracking down the vampires. Very urban setting.
Bela: Which city though?
Kim: In the script? Wasn't specified. They might add one in post during the titles.
Bela: So... Some unnamed city, a bar called Spider, with vampires in it.
Gordon: *eavesdropping* I can find out where that is. Thanks.*takes off*
Bela: Well, I believe that's all I need.
Kim: Good. Good night Lauren. Get some sleep.
Bela: Good night Kim. And thank you. *click*

*facepalm*

Thank you! I think they were hinting at it with the destruction of the cell phones later, but the way that bit came across definitely pinned the 'no way in hell' meter.

Exactly!!!! Dean isn't stupid - no matter what the writers are thinking this season. ~shakes fist at them, then begs them to come back from strike~

I don't know if the writers are thinking he's stupid, or really distracted by keeping the walls Sam was at him about in this episode up. If you go back in season one to the beginning, Dean was quite similar to how he's been in the first part of this season. Now with Sam's perspective on this behaviour, we know this is what Dean does when he's terrified. Season one, terrified by the sudden unexplained absence of John. This season, terrified for a different reason. In season 2, Dean wasn't terrified. Or wasn't as terrified overall. That's the way I see it.

I definitely agree with you though, there is absolutely no way he would tell anyone where they were, except maybe someone like Bobby.

*beats the studios over the head with a rotten fish and tells them to get their asses back to the room to actually talk to the writers which last I heard, they weren't doing* :-P

Oh god, my brain...poor Kim...aaaah! *dies laughing* Awesome. AWESOME!

The funny thing is, I don't think Kim Manners'd even be phased by something like that. After all the time on X-files and now Supernatural, I think he gets free immunity to weird.

Now that you mention it? You're probably right. *g*

I so enjoyed this! The explanation of what happened I think should be canon and Bela's character is absolutely spot on.

Just to let you know, it's Fresh Blood fic recs today at

spn_epific and I'm including this there. ;)

Awesome! Thank you!

Great minds think alike! No freaking way would he just tell her! I wish they had just said this outright in the episode so peeps wouldn't be wondering, but my sister and I came to the same conclusion that you did. Great fic and dialogue!

Thanks! I started writing it during the commercial break right after that bit, because that needed to be fixed immediately. *nods sagely*

Dude, this is so perfect! I always refused to believe that Dean would actually tell Bela where they were - I love the idea that she found it out despite that. This is the kind of thing they should have shown her doing, showing us she's the clever thief they want us to think she is. Much more believable than Dean teliing her where Sam and he were because he suddenly thought they were buddies.

I'm seeing this as canon. (Although it's not gonna make me like her more.)

Thank you! That little gaffe in the episode needed patching *nods*
