Chapter Fourty-Five





A gunshot sliced through the air, followed by another scream and the thump of a body. Jenny jumped down to avoid getting hit, her hand touching something cold.

"Jennifer!" Dean's voice echoed, Jenny looking around in the darkness.

"Dean?! Sam?!" Sam was silent, causing Jenny to grow worried as she looked around, hoping he wasn't the one that got shot.

Romona screamed as the emergency lights turned on, pointing at Jenny.

"Murderer!" She sobbed. Jenny looked at her in confusion, then down to see the cold item was a gun. Her eyes widened as she stood up, shaking her head.

"No! No no no I didn't— This wasn't—"

"Put your hands up!" Kingberg yelled as he grabbed his gun from his holster calming it at Jenny. She dropped the gun, looking down at the ground to see the rich looking man in the ground in a pool of blood.

"Hey! Woah! Don't shoot!" Dean ran to Jenny, pushing her behind him as he raised his hand out. "She didn't do it!"

"And how are you so sure! The gun was in her hand!" Beth cried, raising her hand to the dead man.

"He's holding a gun, too!" Harvey pointing to Kingberg, who looked at him in shock.

"I'm a detective! I wouldn't kill an innocent man!" He defended as Jenny looked around, noticing Sam was on the ground, unconscious.

"Sam!" She ran over ti the younger Winchester, Dean looking behind him to see her slap his brother awake. "Sam wake up! Another murder!"

Sam shot you quickly, looking around. "We have to kill her!" Beth demanded. "Before she kills one of us next!"

"Woah! We are not killing anybody!" Dean snapped, pointing to Beth. She looked at him suspiciously, glaring.

"Alright! Enough with the arguing! We must question everyone while the train is stopped!" Kingberg yelled, lowering his gun and pointed to Jenny. "You first."

✧*:・゚✧*:・゚✧

In a train cabin, Kingberg sat across from Jenny, staring at one another. His hand was rested against his thigh, aiming the gun at Jenny. "That isn't necessary, sir." She spoke softly, but Kingsberg didn't listen. She wasn't surprised.

"What we're you doing before the first murder?" He asked, causing Jenny to scoff and shake her head.

"Oh, you wouldn't believe me." She chuckled, and the detective tilted his head. "Look. I'm not actually supposed to be here. Though, you would prefer that, wouldn't you?"

"If it means that those two men out there wouldn't be dead."

"I didn't kill them, alright? I don't kill people."

"Then what do you kill? Puppies?"

"Only the bad ones." Jenny smirked at her joke, Kingsberg scowled.

"Jokes aren't tolerable right now. What's your name?" He asked, fixing his posture. Jenny mimicked him, inhaling sharply.

"Jennifer Price." The man's eyes widened in shock.

"Price? As in... Men of Letters?" Jenny frowned in confusion.

"What the hell is a Men of Letters? Another book?" When the man realized she didn't know what he was talking about, he shook his head.

"Nevermind. Enough with avoiding questions. What do you know about Jeremiah Greene?" Jenny shook her head.

"Nothing. What do you know about him?"

"Why, he was a very wealthy man. As was his brother, Kalvin. Everyone on here knows about it... Except for you and those two other men, supposedly." Jenny frowned in confusion.

"So... Are you all connected?"

"I was here to protect the two men. Though, I guess I didn't do a very good job." Jenny snorted.

"What about Beth and Romona? And the other two dudes out there, not my boys. They've been pretty quiet."

"Harvey is the train conductor. We had him specifically conduct this train since he is a family friend of the Greene's. Paul is mute. He won't say anything." Jenny quirked a brow in suspicion.

"So... If they are all connected... Why do you suspect it's me, Sam and Dean?" The detective chuckled, smiling underneath his bushy, unoriginal mustache.

"Well, you're all strangers."

"That's all you got? That we're strangers?" She asked, and the detective shook his head. "So... What are Beth and Romona to Keith and Jeremiah?"

"Beth and Romona are the sisters to them. The lot of them had come back from their fathers funeral. Jeremiah was going to inherit all of the money."

"And what about Keith?"

"Why, he was going to get the manor." Jenny hummed, nodding. "The daughters would get nothing. They weren't very kind to their father in his final days."

"I see why. And.. You don't think it was one of them? Or... Both?"

"They would never hurt their brothers. They loved them." The detective defended as Jenny sat up slowly. Kingsberg stood up quickly, cocking his gun. "Sit back down, Miss Price."

"I think we both know who killed the bo—" The lights went down again, Jenny looking around. She felt the barrel of Kingsberg's gun touch her gut, causing her to freeze.

"Don't. Move." He demanded. And she listened... For a moment.

Jenny grabbed his wrist and bent it backwards. Kingsberg howled in pain as the gun went off, Jenny yelling as it sliced her arm, tearing her sleeve. She slammed her head into Kingsberg's, knocking him down as she rushed out of the cabin and into the hallway.

"Jenny!" Sam yelled from down the hall. Jenny rushed forward as silence filled the room, the lights turning back on.

Paul laid in front of everyone, eyes wide as his throat was slit, blood trickling on the ground. Dean, Sam and Jenny all shared shocked expressions as Beth cried again, falling to the ground.

"No!" She screamed, crawling to him. "You murderer!" She turned to Romona, whose eyes went wide with shock.

"I didn't do this, Bethany! I would never hurt him!" She turned to Harvey, who stared at the scene. She pointed to him accusingly. "It was you! You killed him!"

"I don't even know the boy!" Harvey yelled defensively. Kingsberg ran out, holding his head and paused, looking down at Paul and Beth.

"Oh dear god..." He looked at Jenny with an apologetic look. She only shot him a glare.

"Now it's down to three." Jenny spoke, looking at the trio of strangers in front of her. Beth looked up, glaring at her.

"It was one of your boys! One of them killed my Paul!"

"Oh, put a sock in it. We know it was Romona." Dean raised his hand to Harvey, who gasped.

"I said—"

"We know what you said!" Sam interrupted, clearly over the murder mystery. "Either Beth is a great actress, or you cannot stay clean."

Everyone turned back to Romona and looked down at her hands. She slowly looked down to see the cuff of her sleeve was stained in blood.

"Balls." She muttered, and Jenny frowned, looking at Sam and Dean.

Kingsberg raised his gun up, cocking it as Romona raised his hands. "You couldn't have waited until Beth was dead?!"

"You did this for the manor and money." Jenny assumed as Romona rolled her eyes.

"If I had killed Beth first, then I wouldn't have had to kill Paul. But he was in the way, probably would have gotten the money before me."

"Wow, this game sucks." Dean mumbled as Jenny and Sam nodded in agreement. "Was killing necessary?"

"Of course it was! It was the only way to the money! To the manor!"

"Can't you just... Visit a lot?" Jenny asked as Romona paused, shrugging. "Oh boy, you people are stupid."

"Romona Singer, you are under arrest—" Jenny's eyes widened again as she turned to Kingsberg, his voice falling silent as the world around her caved in.

Jenny gasped as her eyes fluttered open, looking around in confusion as she straightened up. Sam was sitting across from her in his normal clothes, Jenny turning to see Dean waking up.

As the boys came to, they all shared that same, confused look. "Did that Kingsberg dude say... Singer?"

"Yeah." Jenny and Sam answered, the three staring at the shot glasses. Jenny slowly pushed the tray away, shaking her head.

"I think I'm going to stick to things with a label."

✧*:・゚✧*:・゚✧

Jenny rubbed her temple in a dull pain as she rested her head on Dean's chest. Sam was passed out in the bed next to them, snoring quietly.

"Do you know what a Men of Letters is?" Jenny asked as Dean frowned, shaking his head. "Huh... Kingsberg said something about it in the uh... alternate reality? Dream?"

"Maybe we all just had a really weird hallucination." Dean assumed as Jenny hummed again.

"Weird to have the same hallucination. It might be nothing." She mumbled, yawning. "Whatever it was... I'm never reading anything in Latin unless it's an exorcism ever again."

Dean chuckled quietly. "I'll make sure it won't happen."





okay kinda shitty ending but hey... maybe we'll hear about Romona again or see if Jenny is a Legacy in the future👀
