Abbi would never clearly remember much of her first sight of the bunker. Though, they had stopped twice more for coffee along the way, by the time she parked her car in the underground garage, she was dead-ass tired. Opening the trunk, she grabbed her overnight bag and slung it over her shoulder before following Sam and Dean upstairs. “Do you want a tour or to crash?” Sam asked. “Sam, she can barely stand, she’s wiped,” Dean said. As if her body heard him, her legs began to sag. Dean was faster than Sam was and caught her mid-fall. “Hang on there, Warrior Princess.
