Alright, here's the next installment in the Family series! Hope you all like it! (Also, if you haven't read the others it might be a little confusing just a heads up)

"Oh you gotta be kidding me!" Dean grumbled and then a second later yelled, "Come on!" He slammed his hand against the steering wheel in aggravation.

"Dean, you need to calm down…" Sam mumbled, it sounded like he wasn't really paying attention though and Alec was almost curious enough to sit up but he decided against it.

"This is just freakin' great," Dean muttered as he sat back against the seat. They had been stuck in traffic for a while now; it was just stop and go and Dean had made his annoyance at the situation known.

"It's starting to move a little faster," Sam tried to point out, but Alec didn't think it was going to do much and it sounded like Dean didn't think much of it either when he snorted in disbelief. "Have you talked to Harper?" Sam tried a different track to distract Dean.

Dean took in a deep breath and then let it out slowly before he answered, "Yeah…she made it back to Bobby's and he got her a car to use. She's headed to the east coast now for a hunt…"

"What kind of hunt?"

"Spirit," Dean replied simply and then the car went quiet again. Well that distraction didn't last long.

They usually tried to stick to lonely country roads so things like this didn't happen. Dean hated sitting in traffic; he didn't have the patience for it and they almost always ended up with him yelling at the other cars.

"What the hell kinda car is that?" Dean grumbled after a moment.

"It's a Prius," Sam answered patiently.

"Well, it looks like a piece of-"

"Dean!"

"Sorry, but it does…" Dean tightened his grip on the steering wheel and then muttered, "We could easily crush it…"

Sam just shook his head in disbelief and Dean shot Sam a cocky smile.

They were moving a little more steadily now and Alec relaxed back into his pillow and closed his eyes. He didn't want to admit it, but he was exhausted. Ever since he'd left the hospital he hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep. He could doze for a while, but as soon as he started to actually fall asleep he would immediately be plagued by nightmares. He was used to the nightmares that Manticore brought on, but now he had the added dose of almost killing Sam and Dean every night.

It'd been a little over a week since he'd been possessed by a demon and nearly took out his own brothers. He'd been in the hospital for three days and he'd gotten some sleep there, but now it was like he couldn't shut out the memories.

Dean suddenly slammed on the brakes, "Son of a bitch…" Dean swerved and then pressed the horn. "Moron!"

"Dean!" Sam spoke over the sound of the horn.

"What?" Dean grumbled back; accelerating past the other car. "They'll give anyone a license!"

"Alec's trying to sleep," Sam said a little softer and a small smile broke out on Alec's face at the concern he could hear in Sam's voice.

Dean looked back and saw that he was kind of awake and quickly said, "Sorry kiddo didn't mean to wake you up."

Alec pushed himself up and then leaned against the door. He chuckled a little and said, "It's alright, I wasn't actually asleep." Dean frowned, but he didn't say anything. Alec knew this was going to be the best chance he was going to get so he leaned forward and just asked, "Can we go to Seattle?"

Sam and Dean turned and shot him matching looks of surprise and he just shrugged back.

"You want to go to Seattle?" Sam asked after a moment while Dean turned and looked at the road again.

Now he was a little more reluctant to answer. Asking was the easy part, explaining why he wanted to go was a little more complicated. He cleared his throat uncomfortably and then answered, "Yeah, um, y'know it'd be good to see the old home again…"

He watched as Sam and Dean shared a look and he held his breath and waited. Once the idea had gotten in his head, he couldn't get it out. He wanted to go to Seattle and see for himself if everyone had made it out. He'd find Original Cindy if he could and maybe she would know where Max was. He didn't want to stay in Seattle, he'd found a place with Sam and Dean, but he needed to know what was going on.

"Yeah, we can go to Seattle," Dean finally said and Alec breathed out in relief.

"You wanna try and get some more sleep?" Sam asked after a moment. Alec could tell he was worried, but there was no way he would be able to sleep now.

He shrugged back at Sam, "Nah, I'm not really tired."

Sam didn't look like he believed him, but they both had to brace themselves a second later. Dean swerved hard and Alec was almost thrown around in the backseat.

"I could drive better with my eyes closed!" Dean shouted. He cut off the car that had made them swerve and then sped back up.

"Could you try to not kill us before we get there?" Sam asked in aggravation.

"It's not my driving that's gonna get us killed," Dean replied defensively.

"Well it's not gonna get us there in one piece either," Sam shot back.

Dean mimicked Sam and rolled his eyes.

"Real mature. How old are you again?" Sam asked sarcastically.

"Shut up," Dean grumbled, but Alec could hear a smile in his voice.

"Man, what a great comeback," Sam said with a laugh.

Dean chuckled, "Bitch."

"Jerk," Sam immediately replied and they both fell into silence.

"Wooooow," Alec said, drawing out the word, "You guys are weird…"

Sam and Dean both let out surprised laughs and then Sam turned to look at him, "You better watch out, you're part of this family…"

"Means the weird will rub off on you, kid," Dean finished Sam's sentence.

Alec chuckled, "Doesn't change the fact that you guys are weird."

Sam glanced back again to check on Alec. He'd finally given in and fallen asleep when they were halfway to Seattle. He didn't seem to be sleeping very much, well even less than usual, and Sam couldn't hide that he was worried.

"Sam, we need to wake him up," Dean said once he saw that Sam still hadn't made a move. Sam noticed though, that Dean still kept his voice down so he wouldn't accidently wake Alec up.

"I know…" Sam reluctantly replied. He finally reached back and shook Alec's knee. He was lying so his feet were behind Dean and his head was behind Sam, so Sam couldn't really reach his shoulder. He quickly withdrew his arm from the backseat after he shook Alec's knee. Alec didn't always know where he was when he woke up and Sam couldn't blame him for lashing out when he did.

Alec's eyes flew open and he sat bolt upright, instantly ready to fight off any threats.

"Easy Alec, it's just us," Sam soothed in a quiet voice.

Alec's eyes took a second more before they focused on Sam and Dean and he slowly relaxed. Sam watched him relax each muscle group and composed himself to be his laidback self. If he didn't know to look for it, he would have never noticed that Alec composed himself on purpose. He glanced out the window a moment later and Sam assumed he was trying to figure out where they were.

"We're almost to Seattle," Dean quickly answered his unasked question.

Alec nodded in response and then pulled out his cell phone. Sam watched him curiously; they'd gotten him a cell phone after he'd recovered from getting hit by their car. He couldn't even begin to guess who Alec would be calling since he didn't have any of his old numbers.

"Who are you calling?" Sam finally asked, unable to hold on to his curiosity any longer.

"Original Cindy…" Alec mumbled.

"You still know her number?" Sam asked incredulously.

Alec smirked, "Photographic memory…comes in handy when you switch phones all the time." He called and then waited, but there seemed to be no answer. He pulled the phone from his ear and started dialing again. Alec ran his hand through his hair and then let out a surprised, "Hey! OC?" Sam wished he could hear the other side of the conversation, but he'd just have to settle for hearing Alec's side and watching his reactions.

"…It's Alec…Yeah, no it's really me…" Alec smiled a little. "I don't have a good answer for that…I'm callin' now, can you cut me some slack?" Alec laughed at something Cindy said and then asked, "Hey, are you still in that old apartment you shared with Max?" He rolled his eyes suddenly, "Yeah, I know Max isn't there…Can we please not talk about this over the phone?" He nodded, "Yeah, we're almost to Seattle…I'll see ya soon and I'll catch ya up on everything…" He chuckled, "Alight, bye OC. Wait!" Alec suddenly shouted and then he cleared his throat. "I mean…sorry, but we don't have a way through the checkpoints…" Alec's eyes wandered as he listened and then he nodded, "Yeah, we'll meet you there. Bye."

He put his phone back in his pocket, "Ok, good news is OC is still in Seattle and we have a place to go, bad news is we still have to get through the sector cops and I don't have a sector pass anymore, but OC's gonna meet us to get us through."

"What do you mean sector pass?" Dean asked.

"To get through the checkpoints. How'd you guys get through the first time?" Alec asked in confusion.

Sam and Dean both frowned and shrugged and then Sam said, "We were in a hurry last time…"

"Yeah, it was mainly find you and get the hell out," Dean said with a smile.

"Well, I might be able to talk our way through the checkpoints, but it kinda depends on who's working," Alec muttered.

"Good thing you called OC then because neither of us can talk to the, um, sector cops," Dean said after a moment.

"Why not?" Alec and Sam asked at the same time.

"Alec, I'm pretty sure they know what you look like," Dean said with a smile. "Y'know the whole beating up 8 cops thing probably pissed them off."

Alec's mouth quirked in thought, "I don't think it was 8…it might have been 5…"

"Anyway," Dean said bringing Alec's attention back, "They know what you look like and we look alike so…"

"Got it," Alec said with a smile.

Alec directed them after that to where they were going to meet up with Original Cindy. As soon as Dean stopped Alec got out of the car and he didn't wait for Sam or Dean before he started walking away. It took Sam a minute to see where he was going, but then he saw someone leaning against the wall.

"That kid's gonna be the death of me…" Dean muttered under his breath.

Sam cracked a smile and pushed Dean's arm, "You're starting to sound old."

Dean chuckled, "Yeah, well, I think I've aged 10 years since we found him."

"I'm with ya there," Sam replied. They sat there for a second and then slowly started to get out of the car. The person who had been leaning against the wall had just spotted Alec and Sam saw that it looked like Original Cindy.

Sam stood just outside of the door as Cindy slowly started towards Alec. She started with slow steps, but quickly sped up until she was practically running towards him. He met her halfway and picked her up in a hug. He could hear their laughter from where he was at the car and it made him break out in a smile of his own.

More soon...
