ZEN SIGHS IN frustration as she reaches Patience Turner's voicemail for what felt like the hundredth time.

"Hi, you've reached Patience Turner. Please leave a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

Zen groans as she hears the beep and says, " Hey, Pay. It's me again. Listen, I know that my brothers, uh, told you to avoid this life, but, uh... we, we're- we're looking for someone. And we put an APB out with every hunter we know, and... nothing. We really could use a psychic's help on this. So... if you could at least text me back...or...call, it would mean alot...thanks. Oh and I really miss our girl time back when you didn’t know my brothers…back when you thought I was normal, being with these two idiots made me realise how much I need some girl talk so you better answer the damn phone, Pay.",she says just as Dean enters the war room with paper bags. He places the bags on the table and takes a seat. Zen ends the call with a sigh before grabbing the paper bags on the table.

" Where the hell are my chicken nuggets?", she asks with a frown when she realised her savory special breading-dipped-chicken bits were nowhere to be found.

" They ran out. But hey, we have pie.", Dean replies before looking at Sam, ignoring Zen's disappointed face.

"Any word from Cas?", he asks Sam.

Sam stops typing away at his laptop and looks up at Dean. "Yeah. Uh, he says he's still looking for Jack, working a lead in Tucson."

Zen grabs a small plastic container with a slice of cherry pie inside and digs in. Dean's phone rings and he grabs it from his pocket before showing the caller ID to both Zen and Sam.

Dean answers it and puts the phone on speaker, setting it on the table so Sam and Zen can hear it too.

"Hi Jody!", Dean greets.

Sam shuts the lid of his laptop and says," Hi Jody! What's going on?"

" Heya mama Jodes.", Zen greets with a mouthful of pie.

Jody chuckles on the other side of the line. "Hey, boys...and girl.", Zen snorts.

" Anyways, I got something for ya. Friend of mine from Bismarck PD called with a lead. He said that a local artist was found dead with his eyes burned out."

Zen stops in mid chew and looks at her brothers, who looked just as shocked as her.

"Sounds angel-y.", Dean replies.

"Yeah, that's what I thought, except for that there was a witness- the victim's girlfriend. She pegged someone at the scene....She gave the police a description. I think its your boy.", she states. The Winchesters shared a look of consideration.

" Thanks Jodes, we'll check it out.", Zen replies, trying her best to hide the excitement and relief she felt at the moment just as Dean hangs up.

She quickly finishes the pie before getting up. " I'm gonna go pack.", she states before walking away.

She hears a few shuffling from behind her and she smirks as Dean yells, " Hey! You ate my pie. I liked the cherry one. I hate blueberry."

" Sucks to be you, Dean-o. Next time, you better get me my chicken nuggets."

>••<

THE WINCHESTERS SOON arrived at the facility in which they said Kaia was currently in.

"So... Kaia never knew her father. Her mom died in an accident when she was 12, so her aunt took her in and then she died- cancer", Sam reads off a pad.

"Damn.", Dean states as he parked the car.

"Yeah, been on her own ever since, until her OD and arrest.", Sam finishes.

Zen tucks her gun on the back if her jeans. "Bad hand."

Sam nods. "Yeah."

Zen looks at the building with a frown. "No wonder she ended up here-", Zen's eyes suddenly flashed golden, startling her brothers.

" What? What's wrong?", Dean asks as they got out of the car.

Her eyes flashed back to their normal green ones and she blinks a few times before replying, " He's here...I can feel him."

Dean locks baby and nods at her. " Lead the way, Dorothy."

She rolls her eyes. " Oh f**k off."

They enter the building with Zenja leading the way. She could feel his grace in the halls as they passed by. She could feel the bond tying itself back to it's original form as she got closer. Zenja furrows her eyebrows when his grace leads her to the back door.

She pushes the door open and looks down at the broken locks before looking back up to see Jack holding a girl's arm.

" Jack!", she calls.

Jack felt his heart skip a beat and his eyes glow golden when he hears her voice. The voice of the woman he was bonded to for eternity. His soulmate...

He whips his head at her and their eyes lock. " Zen?"

With Jack distracted, Kaia kicks him to the ground. He lets go of her arm in surprise and she then proceeds to punch him on the jaw and then runs away as Jack grunts in pain.

Zen watched the scene play out in amusement and surprise and ran towards the baffled boy.

She helps him up and tries to hide her laugh when she sees his face. " She hit me...", he states in disbelief as he touches his cheek.

Zen shrugs. " I was gonna do the same but she beat me to it."
