Bill held her hand and squeezed. "Of course I came," he replied. "I would always come for you," he put out there softly before he could change his mind. "Um... Jeremy will be here in two hours or so, why don't you go get cleaned up and get some rest? When he gets here we'll see what we can salvage from the bar." He stood and pulled her to go into the house. "I would offer to call the police but if this is a supernatural matter then they won't do much good." He pulled her to the bathroom nearest her room, leading the way like it was his own home.

He gently pushed her to sit on the toilet as he started the water so it would start warming up. "You'll feel better when you get the smell of smoke off." He placed a kiss on her forehead. "I'm going to salt the windows and doors, maybe draw some Devil's Traps." He kept talking even as he walked to the linen closet and pulled out some fluffy towels. "I'm going to grab some sawed-offs and Holy Water from my car." He returned to the bathroom as he finished. "I have some iron knives as well that I'll grab." He grinned almost sheepishly. "I know you can take care of yourself, but... humor me."
