Summary: Dean knows they've had hunts go worse than this, but right now he's having trouble thinking of any. What should have been a simple haunted painting salt-and-burn gets sticky when the head of the theft ring they've conned their way into turns out to be on the FBI payroll. With Sam stuck in custody Dean calls in Castiel, hoping some angel mojo might lead to a quick escape and Cas quickly finds enough bubbling beneath the surface to attract his attention - like hellhounds prowling the halls of FBI headquarters. Sam also finds the day full of surprises: when Agent Burke starts the interrogation the only questions he has involve a thick file all about Sam and Dean, a fire in a Colorado police precinct and how Victor Hendrickson really died.

Neal knows he should have slipped his tracker and run off days ago, when he first heard the howls. Now he's scrambling to keep his old crossroads mistake from bringing everyone down with him, and it's not long before Peter, Dean, Sam, Cas, Jones and Diana all find themselves caught in the web, and Elizabeth finds herself with a choice: rejoin the family she's left behind or save the one she's built.

When hellhounds come baying for blood, even angels have nowhere to hide.

Author’s Notes: All my love to aerilex for beta reading, morganoconner for reading through the first chapter and reassuring me to keep going, and of course sgmajorshipper for the pretties.



"Blood, as all men know, than water's thicker / But water's wider, thank the Lord, than blood." - Aldous Huxley, "Ninth Philosopher's Song"

I snagged this from AO3 - which, thanks so much for that - easily able to get for my Kindle. And it was a great read. Fun idea and I thought worked really well. Very much enjoyed the humor. AND I actually watched a couple of episodes first of White Collar (never seen before) so thanks for turning me on to that show too!
