Chapter 2

Dean and Sam were on the road again after leaving Jericho, California. They had figured out the coordinates led to a place called Blackwater Ridge, Colorado. Sam looked at Dean.

"So Dean, you never told me what made you know."

"Know what, Sammy?"

"That you loved me."

"I honestly don't know. I think it started after you left for Stanford. I dreamed about you every night. Then when I saw you in your apartment, I knew," Dean said stroking his brother's thigh.

"So, have you tried to call dad?"

"Yeah, it just goes to voicemail."

Sam nodded. He leaned back in his seat and fell asleep. Dean looked over at his sleeping brother and let his gaze rove his body hungrily. He wanted his brother bad, but he wouldn't push him. He didn't know if this is what Sam truly wanted. Hours later he pulled into a motel.

"Sammy, come on, wake up."

"Where are we?" Sam asked sleepily.

"A motel in Utah. We're just one state over from Colorado."

Sam nodded and got out of the car. Dean went to the clerk.

"One double, please," He said and Sam smacked him on his head.

"What the hell was that for?" He asked turning to Sam.

"Get a single."

Dean arched an eyebrow, but nodded and turned back to the clerk and asked for the single. Once they got their key, the removed their bags and headed into the room. They dropped their bags on the floor and dropped on the bed. Sam immediately started to straddle Dean. Dean shook his head, and flipped them over so he was on top.

"You know, I am not sure you should be on top," Dean said leaning down to kiss Sam hard on the mouth.

"Why not?" Sam asked after they parted.

"Because I am not sure how I feel about you being in control."

Sam laughed and flipped them over and he was on top again. "I am lighter. Plus it allows me to easily explore your chest." His hand went to Dean's chest and started exploring.

"Well, let's try it this way," Dean said and then situated them so they were side by side. "Better?" He asked.

Sam nodded and tugged on Dean's shirt. Dean took his shirt off and Sam did the same. Dean let his hand run over Sam's hard chest. Sam's breath hitched and he started to pant a little.

"Like that?" Dean asked.

Sam nodded and kissed Dean. Dean kissed him back hard and hungrily.

"Get some sleep, Sammy," Dean said when they parted.

Sam whined and Dean wrapped his arms around his waist and used one hand to rub his back.

Dean and Sam drive up to a house. Dean knocks on the door and a woman answers.

"You must be Hailey Collins. I'm Dean, this is Sam. We're rangers from the park service. Ranger Wilkinson sent us over, we wanted to ask you some questions about your brother Tommy," Dean said.

"Let me see some ID," Hailey says.

Dean holds up a fake ID, "Here ya go."

"Come on in."

So if Tommy's not due back for a while, how do you know something's wrong?" Sam asks.

"He checks in every day by cell. He emails photos, stupid little videos…but we haven't heard anything for three days."

"Well, maybe he couldn't get cell reception," Sam says.

"He's got a satellite phone too," Hailey said.

"Could be that he's just having fun and forgot to check in," Dean says.

"He wouldn't do that," Hailey's brother Ben said.

"Our parent's are gone; it's just my two brothers and me. We all keep pretty close tabs on each other," Hailey said.

"Can I see the pictures he sent you?" Sam asks.

Hailey nods and opens he laptop. She plays the latest video Tommy sent to her. Sam frowns at something he sees.

"Well, we'll find your brother, we're heading out to Blackwater Ridge, first thing," Dean said.

"Then maybe I'll see you there. I can't sit around here anymore so I hired a guide. I am heading out in the morning and I am gonna find Tommy myself."

"Spirits and demons don't have to unlock doors. If they want inside they just go through walls," Dean said leaning against his car.

"So it's probably something else, something corporeal."

"Corporeal? Excuse me professor."

"Shut up. So what do you think?"

"The claws, the speed that it moves, could be a skin walker, maybe a black dog. Whatever we're talking about, we're talking about a creature and it's corporeal. Which means we can kill it."

Dean moves to the trunk and props it open with a shotgun, and puts some pistols into a duffel bag.

"We cannot let that Hailey girl go out there," Sam said.

"Oh yeah? What are we gonna tell her? That she can't go in the woods because of a big scary monster?"

"Yeah."

"Her brother's missing Sam. She's not just gonna sit this out. Now we go with her, we protect her, and we keep our eyes peeled for our fuzzy predator-friend."

Sam slams the trunk shut, "Finding dad's not enough? Now we gotta babysit too?"

Dean just stares at Sam.

"What?"

"Nothing."

The group made a small campsite with a campfire and Dean is drawing something in the dirt in parts of the site.

"One more time that's…?" Hailey asks.

"Anasazi symbols. It's for protection. The wendigo can't cross over them," Dean explains.

Roy laughs and Dean turns to him. "Nobody likes a skeptic, Roy." He then goes over to Sam.

"You wanna tell me what's going on in that freaky head of yours?"

"Dean…"

"No you're not fine, you're like a powder keg man it's not like you. I'm supposed to be the belligerent one, remember?"

"Dad's not here. I mean that much we know for sure, right? He would have left us a message, a sign, right?"

"Yeah, you're probably right. To tell you the truth I don't think Dad's ever been to Lost Creek."

"Then let's get these people back to town and let's hit the road, go find dad. I mean why are we still here?"

Dean holds up their dad's journal, "This is why…this book. This is dad's single most valuable possession everything he knows about every evil thing is in here. And he's passed it on to us, I think he wants us to pick up where he left off, you know saving people, hunting things. The family business."

"That makes no sense. Why doesn't he just call us? Why doesn't he just tell us what he wants; where he is?"

"I dunno. But the way I see it, dad's giving us a job to do and I intend to do it."

Sam shakes his head, "Dean, no. I gotta find dad. It's the only thing I can think about."

"Okay, all right, Sam we'll find him I promise. Listen to me, you've gotta prepare yourself. I mean this search could take awhile, and all that anger, you can't keep it burning over the long haul, it's gonna kill you. You gotta have patience, man," Dean says and kisses Sam slipping his tongue into his mouth.

Sam and Ben fall through the floor into a pile of skeletons. They look up and find Dean and Hailey hanging from the ceiling. Sam runs to Dean and Ben runs to Hailey.

"Dean!" Sam screams.

Ben yells also, "Hailey, wake up."

Sam grabs Dean and shakes him, "Dean!"

Dean opens his eyes.

"Hey, you okay?"

Dean winces in pain, "Yeah."

Ben cries, "Hailey wake up. Wake up."

Hailey opens her eyes. Sam gets Dean down and Ben gets Hailey down.

"You sure you're okay?" Sam asks.

Dean grimaces again, "Yeah. Yep, where is he?"

"He's gone for now."

Hailey sees Tommy and starts crying but screams when he jerks his head, "Cut him down!"

Sam and Dean cut him down. Dean is loading a gun and turns to Sam.

"Check it out."

Sam turns and sees flare guns.

"Flare guns…those'll work."

The four of them head down a tunnel supporting a limping Tommy when they hear a growl.

"Looks like someone is home for supper," Dean said.

"We'll never out run it," Hailey comments.

Dean looks at Sam, "You thinking what I'm thinking?"

Sam nods, "Yeah, I think so."

"All right listen to me. Stay with Sam, he's gonna get you out of here."

"What are you going to do?" Hailey asks.

Dean just winks, "Chow time you freaky bastard! Yeah that's right, bring it on baby, I'm feelin good."

The others follow Sam down the tunnel. The wendigo growls by Sam and the others.

"Get him outta here," Sam said.

"Sam, no," Hailey said.

"Go! Go!"

Hailey and Ben help Tommy out of the cave. Sam pulls out a gun ready to shoot. He hears a growl and turns to find the wendigo in his face. He tries to shoot and misses then runs down the tunnel after Hailey, Ben and Tommy.

"Come on, hurry, hurry, hurry."

The wendigo is close behind them.

"Get behind me," Sam said and blocks the three.

The wendigo walks towards them and lets out a roar. Dean walks up behind the wendigo.

"Hey!" He shoots the wendigo in the stomach with one of the flare guns. It burst into flames from the inside.

Sam is in the driver's seat while Dean is in the passenger's seat. Dean places his hand on Sam's thigh. Sam's breathing hitches a little.

"Sam, you do know that we'll find dad, right?"

Sam nods. He turns to Dean and kisses him hard on the lips. Dean moans.

"You better stop that, before you crash my car," Dean breathes.

Sam smiles and turns his eyes back to the road.
