Sam watches Dean lower his hand toward the trash bin. Dean pauses and Sam's breath catches in his throat. Then without warning, Dean opens his fist and lets the necklace drop. The amulet makes a dull thud as it hits the trash lining the bottom of the bin.
Sam stares after his brother's retreating back. There are so many different emotions swirling around in his brain that he doesn't know whether to scream or cry. He takes a deep breath and blinks a few times to clear his blurring vision. Sam hears Dean start the Impala's engine and knows that he's waiting for him. Sam picks up his bag and walks to the door, but he hesitates.
Dean honks from the car and Sam bends down to quickly scoop the necklace out of the trash.
"What took you so long?" Dean growls.
Sam shoves his bag in the trunk and stuffs the amulet in the back corner behind the goofer dust. He closes the trunk and walks around to the passenger side. Dean looks at him expectantly from the driver's seat.
"I forgot my toothbrush."
