dudeimbatman | 5th Hunt [Accidental Video] Welcome to my house, buckle up tight

[The communicator shows a thoroughly miserable looking Dean. He's got a glass of whiskey in front of him, his elbows on the bar and he's practically pouting. His mutterings can just barely be heard]

Hot women and I know they're hot but...nothing. The sisters over there? They'd let me take them both home and...this sucks

[He throws back half a glass of whiskey, bumps the communicator and it shuts off.]

[The communicator comes up a while later and Dean is no longer miserable or pouting. In fact he's counting his money, a couple of stacks of violet and a few Indigo chips. There's a table behind him scattered with playing cards and several angry looking guys]

You cheated! [One of the angry men are up and moving toward Dean. He's an average size guy, scruffy and had more than his fair share to drink. Dean laughs and takes a step back toward the pool tables.]

No, you can't play. There's a difference.

You expect me to believe you won all that money from all of us fair and square [He makes a round robin gesture to his friends still sitting at the table]

Pretty much. [Dean starts pointing out people at the table] He does a duck face when he's bluffing. He gets a twitch in his jaw when he's got a good hand. He drums his fingers on the table when he's got nothing and you...[Dean spreads his hands wide] Well you can't play for shit.

[Dodging the guy's right hook isn't even a problem. Dean grabs his arm, smacks him hard with a left jab right on the jaw. The guy goes a little loopy and Dean lets go of his arm to let his own right hook smack the guy in the mouth. Average Joe hits the ground and his friends move up from the table like one entity. The idiot's grin on Dean's face is enough to make a couple of guys back down but that leaves the biggest boy still coming at him. Dean grabs a pool cue, breaks it over the guys head but fails to dodge a punch that makes his head swim. Dean's good at moving forward when he's seeing stars so he does just that, tackling the guy and pushing him into the table. It breaks, cards going everywhere, what's left of the money scattering across the floor. Dean grabs a handful of them, drives his elbow into the guy's diaphragm and then begins really wailing on him. The bouncer drags him off and Dean stops fighting. He's relaxed and still has that idiot's grin on his face when he gets literally tossed out into the dirt. He picks up a couple of violet chips that fell out of his pockets, takes his gun out of his pocket and gets to his feet.]

Easy money my ass

[He's grumbling and counting his money when he notices the camera is on and switches it off]

And if you can't cut it, you shouldn't bet a month's rent on it.

Yeah I've been on that side of things before.

Agreed.

It's good if you can stop someone because you can read them right though.

As long as you don't read all the right signs and harass the wrong guy.

[Why yes that is personal experience. Dean does often read as psychotic homicidal idiot when in fact he's not]

Now that could be a problem, although its one I haven't had yet.

I'm guessing you've seen it happen though?

Had it happen. Got locked in an interrogation room once.

Oh yeah I was on the FBI's most wanted list for a while. Friggin' skinwalkers. That made it hard to do my job.

And now I'm officially dead. Which makes it a lot easier to do my job.

Skinwalkers? I'm hoping that isn't literally what they do.

I'm guessing officially dead as in as far as the police and FBI know? Usually that does help though. I find being off the force gives me a bit more leeway as well since I don't have to keep to their set of rules.

Probably not very different. I ended up having one look like me. It was what put me on the list.

Yeah. Sam and I were killed in an explosion according to them. Are you a private eye now?

Good to know.

Clever way to do it as well. I was a private eye at home but I haven't done any cases here. I'm only looking for some people for personal reasons right now.

Honestly? It wasn't our idea. It just sort of worked out that way. We escaped with the help of an FBI agent that believed us. The jail was blown up (not by us) before any paper work had been filed or people called.

Convenient then.

Glad that you got out alright though.

A lot of other people didn't.

I know.

I'd love to say that I wish everyone got out, but most of the people I've put in a jail are people I'd never want out on the streets again.

Oh the things I kill? They deserve to be killed but those people in that jail didn't deserve to die. They were good people and drunks taken off the streets for the night. Nothing serious.

..I'm sorry, I didn't know.

[Just a small town county jail.]

Ever look back on something and know that you should have made a different choice? But the 'right' choice at the time sucked so hard that you couldn't ever see how it could be the right one.

..Yea...I think I have.

That situation was one of those times.

..I see.

[She really shouldn't. Most of Dean's life sucks. He's used to dealing with it. The only time he really gets upset is when Sam's death gets brought up]

How long have you been doing the private eye thing?
