(Based on Season 3x15)
Later Sam takes out some maps he managed to grab from the motel lobby, "So these are all the cabins. Most of them have been abandoned for years" he says pointing to a group he had circled.
"So what the hell are we waiting for?" Dean says, just as a phone starts to vibrate. Dean looks over seeing that it his, and grabs it.
"Bobby" they hear him say, and they both watch him talk, "I'm listening..Who's that? Like a Cleveland steamer?.....And now?..... And they think it's Bela" they hear Dean mention the women who had crossed them and both give him a surprised look. "She's used that before. Well, it's kinda of a sloppy move, isn't it? Getting in contact with one of your old friends....Thanks Bobby we're on our way...Okay" Dean then ends the call and looks at the two of them. "Come on, we're going after Bela" he then says as he grabs his jacket and starts to pull it on.
"What? Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a second" Sam says to his brother.
"Come on get your stuff the clock's ticking" he then says to them, but neither of them move.
"Dean, there is a real case here, shouldn't we do this first" Calliope says to him
"Uh no, Bela is a bit more important" he then says to her.
"Look, I think we should we stay here and finish the case like Calliope said" Sam says to him.
"You two insane?" he then says to them.
"Dean, there's no way to know if she still had the colt" Calliope says to him.
"That was months ago, she probably sold it the second she got it" Sam adds.
"Well, then I'll kill her. Win-win" Dean smirks at them.
"Dean.." Sam says to him.
"Sam, Calliope we're going" Dean then demands as he grabs his duffle bag and tossing it on the bed, starting to pack his things. Calliope then starts to get her stuff together, knowing there was no point in trying to change Dean's mind.
"No!" Sam suddenly says and she stops gathering her things.
"Why the hell not?" Dean asks him.
"Dean, this, this here, now, this is whats gonna save you" Sam tells them.
"What? Chasing Frankenstein" Dean says to him.
"Chasing immortality" Sam tells them, earning a startled look from both Dean and Calliope. "Look Benton can't die. We find out how he did it, we can do it to you" Sam explains.
"What are you talking about?" Dean asks confused.
"You have to die before you go to hell, right? So, if you can never die then" Sam says,
"Wait, wait, wait, wait a second. Did you know that this was Doc Benton from the jump?" Dean asks started to get angry with his brother.
"No" Sam replies, but Dean gives him a look knowing he's lying. "Look I was hoping" he then says.
"So the whole zombie thing, you just decided to lie about, to both of us" Calliope then says a little mad at Sam for not at least telling her his idea.
"I didn't wanna say anything until I was sure, Calliope. All I'm trying to do is find an answer here" Sam says trying to defend his actions.
"No, what you're trying to do is chase Slicey McHackey here. And to kill him? No, you wanna buy him a freaking beer. You wanna study him" Dean spats at him.
"I was just trying to help" Sam defends.
"You're not helping! You forget that id I Welch on this deal, you die. Guess what, living forever is welching" Dean says to him.

"Fine then whatever the magic pill is I'll take it too!" Sam tells him.
"Oh, what is this Sid and Nancy? No, it's just like Bobby's been saying . We kill the demon that owns the contract and this whole damn thing wipes clean. That's our best shot" Dean says to him as he goes back to packing up his duffle bag.
"Even if you had the Colt, Dean, who are you gonna shoot? We have no idea who holds the ticket." Sam tells him.
"Well, I'll shoot the hellhounds then before they slash me up. Now are you coming or not?" Dean asks his brother.
"I'm staying here" Sam quietly tells him.
"No, you're not. 'Cause I'm not gonna let you wander out in the woods alone to track some organ stealing freak" Dean then says to him.
"You're not gonna let me?" Sam says to him.
"No, I'm not gonna let you" Dean replies.
"How are you gonna stop me? Look man, we're trying to do the same thing here" Sam tells him.
"I know, but I'm going. So if you wanna stay..stay" Dean says as he then looks at Calliope, "What are you going to do?" he then asks her. She looks between both brothers unsure of what she wants to do, on one hand she wants to help Dean get the colt back and on the other she doesn't want Sam to find this murderer on his own.
"I'm going to stay, help Sam, that way he won't get hurt" She tells him. Dean just shakes his head at her, than grabs his duffle bag before heading for the door. Dean hesitates as he gets to the door to open it.
"Sammy, Calliope, be careful" he says as he then goes out the door.
"You didn't have to stay Callie, I know you would much rather be by Dean's side" he says to her.
"Sam, there is a case here that needs to be taken care of, the colt may be a lost cause right now" she tells him.
"I only said that cause I thought you and Dean had something" Sam says to her.
"Sam, nothing is going to go on between Dean and I, I don't like getting to attached to other hunters, and he's got only three weeks left right. Now let's see that map" she says as she goes back over to the map, looking at the area Sam had circled. "I saw we go check this are out, seems to fit the motif of the areas Benton likes to dump things in" she says pointing to a certain spot on the map.
"Sounds, good is your trunk stocked up?" he asks him.
"Of course it is" she smiles as the two of them grab their jackets and head for her car. They both get in and Sam gives her the directions . She pulls up a dirt road and parks the car, Sam takes out the map and looks at her.
"This looks like it" he tells her, and they both get out of the car, each grabbing a flashlight and a weapon. Making there way down the path, the sun begins to set, as they come across an abandon cabin. Sam and Calliope both turn on their flashlights and enter a darkened room. Looking around they see some papers, and books. Sam spots a journal and pockets it as Calliope motions for him to follow her down a set of stairs into the cellar.
Entering the cellar, they spot a body lying on a table, clearly dead, as they continue to look around. As they move a curtain they spot women's body strapped onto another table. They see that her arm is stretched out, and part of it is missing skin, that maggots have been placed on. Calliope reaches out to check the woman's pulse when the women gasps and opens her eyes. Both Calliope and Sam are both startled at first, "Shh!Shh! it's okay, we are here to help you , we are both here to help you. We're so sorry" Calliope says as she grabs a nearby cloth and wraps it around her wound, all while trying to keep her quiet and calm. Just then the three of them heard a noise upstairs, the women starts to cry and Sam has to cover her mouth to keep her quiet. Once they know it's safe to do so, Sam helps carry the women out safely back to Calliopes car. Calliope uses her powers to unlock the car, and open the door, allowing Sam to lay the women down in the back. Sam and Calliope run to the front seats, just as Calliope goes to start the car, Doc Benton appears and grabs at her, making her smash her head on the steering wheel. She manages to get the car on, and starts to shift it into gear. It cause the Doc to let go of her, and she reverses the car. They stare down Benton who is standing in the middle of the dirt road. Calliope then shifts the car into drive and slams her foot down on the gas, running the Doc over.

Calliope and Sam take the women to the hospital, where Calliope decides to stay behind at to make sure she will be okay, and answer any questions for the real police. She tells Sam to head back to the motel, and look over the journal he had snatched. Calliope sat in the waiting area, as the doctors took care of the women, when her phone begins to ring. She looks at is to see that it's Dean calling, she presses the answer button as she goes to hold it up to her ear.
"Dean, you okay?" she asks him.
"Where's Sam?" he immediately asks her.
"Back at the motel room, why?" she says.
"I just talked to him, and there was struggle, why weren't you with him?" he asks sounding a bit pissed with her.
"We uhh checked out a cabin, and found a women, I'm at the hospital with her. I told Sam to go back to the motel" she says as she then grabs her jacket and makes her way out of the hospital.
"Great, so I'm guessing creepy doctor dude isn't dead and followed you two and took Sam" Dean says bitterly to her.
"Damnit, I'll send you the coordinates, and meet you where we found the girl" she tells Dean as she ends the call, then starts texting Dean where to meet her.
Pulling up the cabin from earlier, she parks the car, just as a set of headlights shine on her. The lights turn off and so does the car, and she sees its Dean.
"So you tell me you would stay behind to keep an eye on my brother and you end up letting him get kidnapped" Dean says as he starts to cock his gun and head for the cabin. The quietly enter, and they hear voices coming from the cellar the same area that they had found the women from earlier. They enter to see Doc Benton bent over Sam, just as he is about to take Sam's eye, Dean fires three shots at the Doc getting his attention. Benton turns around looking at them, "Shoot all you want" he says as he starts walking toward Dean. Calliope makes her way around them, as Dean continues to distract Benton. She goes over toward Sam, and starts to help him get untied. Just as Dean tells Doc that he had dipped the knife in choloform knocking him out.
The boys manage to get Doc Benton strapped down the table that he had recently tied Sam to.
"Oh hiya Doc wakey, wakey eggs and bac-y" Dean says to him as Doc Benton wakes back up.
"Please" Doc tries to plea with the three of them.
"Please, what? You've been killing poor bastards for over 150 years and now you gotta request?" Dean says to him. "Shut up!" Dean adds.
"No you don't understands. I can help you. I know what you need" Doc tries to plea again.
"We might have to cut him up into tiny bits. You know, this immortality thing is a bitch" Dean says holding up some tools.
"I can read the formula for you . You know...immortality..Forever young, never die" Doc says to Dean.
Sam looks at Doc then at his brother, "Dean" he says getting his brothers attention.
"Sam" Dean sasy back to him and Sam motions for him to go talk. Sam steps out going into the next room over, followed by Dean and Calliope.
"What?" Dean asks his brother.
"I mean we're talking hell in three weeks. Or needing a new pancreas in like half a century" Sam says shocking both Calliope and Dean.
"Yeah, well, you can't exactly get those at a Kwik-E-Mart" Dean remarks.
"It's not perfect, but it buys us more time to think of something better. We just need time, Dean. I mean please, just..just think about it" Sam tells him.
"No" Dean bluntly answers.
"Dean, don't you want to live" Sam asks his brother.
"Sam, do you honestly want your brother living like that" Calliiope says gesturing to the monster ties to the table.
"What he is isn't living. Look this is simple" Dean says.
"Simple?" Sam asks.
"To me it is, okay. Black or White; human , not human" Dean says as he then goes back into the room standing by the Doc, "See, what the Doc is, is a freakin' monster. I can't do it I would rather go to hell" Dean says as he picks up a bottle of chloroform pouring it on a nearby cloth.
"You don't understand I can help you!" Doc calls out as Dean covers his mouth with the cloth.
"Now I'm gonna take care of him. You can either help me or not it's up to you" Dean says to his brother.
Sam and Calliope help Dean with taking care of the Doc, they both dig a deep enough hole, as they help Dean push the refigeratr that they had shoved Doc Benton's body in earlier. Sam tosses the journal on top of the ice box as they start to hear Doc's cries of wanting to be let out. "Enjoy forever in there, Doc" Dean says as the three of them pick the shovels back up and start tossing the dirt on top. As they do this they continue to hear the doc's cries until they finally have enough dirt back in the hole so that they no longer can hear him.
"So what happened with Bela?" Calliope asks as they head back to their cars.
"She's no longer got the colt, and she has a whirlwind of her own problems right now." He tells her. "Also we might want to get your stuff, and leave some fake bodies, she swiped my receipt for the motel, so she knows where we are and is possibly coming to kill us" Dean adds.
"Seriously" Calliope asks as they get to the cars.
"Yeah" he says as they both get in their own cars and head back to the motel.
Calliope and Sam gather the rest of their things, as Dean comes back in with a box of blow up dolls. Calliope gives him a look, not wanting to know where exactly he got those from. Dean then starts to blow them up and then places them in the beds making it look like there are bodies in the beds.
"I'll follow you guys" she says to the guys, as they nod in agreement. They each go to their cars, and start to hit the road. After a few hours of driving Calliope's phone rings and she answers it putting on speaker as she drove.
"Hey Sam, what's up?" she asks him.
"Bela called" he tells her.
"She fell for the set up I'm guessing" she says to him.
"Yeah she showed up, and tried killing us. Umm listen she told Dean who holds his contract, cause she held Bela's too" he tells her.
"So who is it?" she asks.
"Lilith" he tells her.
"Damn, okay, umm so what now?" she asks him.
"I called Bobby he's going to look into some things" he tells her.
"alright, I guess we just keep our heads up for now, and hope this gets Dean out" she says to him.
"Yeah let's hope" Sam says as he ends the call.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
