Alison's POV
October 2005 (Dean:26, Alison:22, Sam:22)
I'm finally done classes for the day! Seriously I don't understand why I chose to go to college some days. At least now I get to enjoy the awesome Arizona sunshine. I'm almost back to my apartment when my phone starts ringing in my pocket, I look at the caller ID and see that it's Sam.
"Hey Sam-squatch! How's it going?" I hear him groan and I stifle a laugh.
"Hi Tiny. It's going okay, how's my best friend doing?" Sam asks. I can hear a girl trying to get his attention in the background.
"I'm doing great, school is kicking my ass right now though. Is that a girl I hear mister?"
"Well umm yeah that's why I'm calling. I need your help my girlfriend Jess is trying to get me to go to this Halloween party." He's mumbling and Sam doesn't mumble unless he's trying to avoid talking about something.
"Sammy I can't believe you're cheating on me! I thought I was the only girl you actually knew!" I have to tease him, he's been my best friend since we were kids. Sam and I truly became inseparable when we both decided to go off to college. Let's just say that the drama that ensued when we told Dean and John that we were leaving hunting for a chance at what Dean calls the "apple pie life", well it made me Sam's only sounding board.
"And how am I only hearing about Jess now? And you should go to the party even if it's just to make her happy." I unlock my door and throw my bag and keys on the table, as I walk to the fridge to grab a bottle of water.
"I figured you were busy with school and well it's not like we have talked in the past few months much." Ugh leave it to Sam to guilt trip me! I swear I can see him doing his puppy dog eyes all the way at Stanford.
"Sam, I know I haven't kept in touch much. But I think you two should come out here for Thanksgiving and I can meet Jess. What do you think?"
"I'll ask her and let you know. I need to go to this party don't I?" Sam asked.
"Yes you do!" Someone is knocking at the door. "Hey Sam, I have to let you go. Talk soon?" I say as I'm walking to the door.
"Alright. Bye Tiny." Sam hangs up. I put my phone in my pocket and grab my knife from the counter as I open the door.
Dean's P.O.V
Come on knock on the door it's not like it's the end of the world. Well actually it is, dad is missing I need her help. Shit! I bang on the door. I can hear her walking up to the door and here I am pacing like an idiot.
"What the hell are you doing here asshat?" Ali is glaring at me as she swings the door open.
"Can't I come by and say hi Ali?" I asked looking up and down the hall hoping that no one is around.
"You haven't spoken to me in 2 years since Sam and I left for college. So no. Now why the hell are you here Dean?" She's right I haven't talked to her or Sam since they left.
"I know. Can we please talk inside Ali? It's about dad." I sigh and look at her. She no longer looks like the annoying little girl that we'd have to hang out with whenever Sam and I got dumped at Bobby's. How have I never noticed this before? What the hell am I thinking?! Dad's missing, priorities Dean come on!
"Umm sure. Come on in. What's going on?" Ali looks just as worried as I am. She may dislike dad and I for how we treated her and Sam for leaving, but I know she knows something's wrong.
"Thanks. So I haven't heard from dad in a few days." I say as we sit down at the kitchen table and hang my head.
Alison's POV
"Well that's not an emergency Dean." I say rolling my eyes. Who the hell does he think he is to show up at my door after treating Sam and I like crap.
"No Ali, I mean dad's on a hunting trip and I haven't heard from him in a few days." Dean looks like he's going to be sick. John doesn't just disappear when on a hunt. I get up and go to the fridge and grab beers we're going to need them.
"I'm sure he's fine. Here you look like you need a drink." I sit back down and pass him the beer. "Where was he hunting?"
"Jericho. Some guys were going missing, just disappearing. Dad went to check it out."
"Okay so maybe we go there and check it out. I'm sure we'll find him there and he'll be fine." I take a swig of my beer and notice how nervous he is. Dean has always been the one to have a constant poker face on, I don't think I've ever seen him so nervous.
"Ali I'm serious something's up. Listen to this." Dean holds up his phone, it's a message from John. I probably look like a confused idiot right now.
"Dean..Something big is starting to happen...I need to figure out what's going on..It may.. be careful. Take care of Sam and Alison. We're all in danger." I feel a shiver come over me. What's going on? Why are we all in danger? What has got John scared? That man is never scared.
"Dean.. I'm going to pack a bag, give me 5 minutes. We're going to find him." I squeeze his hand as I get up and go to my room to pack. "Taking the Impala or are we taking my Mustang?"
I can hear Dean chuckle. "We're taking Baby, you know I don't do shotgun. You really got yourself a piece of the apple pie life here." I can hear him walking around and moving things. I walk out of my room bag packed and ready to go.
"Hey I'm ready. Let's not panic, we'll get to Jericho and pick up John's trail." I start walking to the door. "And Sam and I left to go to college it wasn't like we were abandoning the family." Dean puts down a picture of the three of us with my dad and John and shakes his head. We're almost at the Impala when Dean turns to me and says what I didn't want to hear.
"We need Sam." I glare at him. "Before you start flipping your shit, we need him. This is big and something is wrong." I get in the car and pull the door closed thinking of how this was going to play out.
"Damn it Dean! He got out and he's happy...I'm not comfortable dragging him into this. Not when he has a great thing going for him." I speak softly and put my head in my hands. I'm proud of Sam for moving on, and achieving his dream. Hunting was never for him, he's too nice and full of light. Dean on the other hand saw Sam and I leaving as us abandoning him. Which is why we haven't spoken in the past 2 years.
"I know that Ali but we need him." I don't bother looking over at him. I just nod and he's shocked that I agreed. Truth is I miss Sam, I miss hunting and I miss hanging with the boys all the time.
Hours later we're sitting outside of Sam's apartment, in silence. It's dark out and I know that Dean is getting antsy.
"So do you have a plan? Like maybe calling him?" Dean just smirks at me.
"Follow me Tiny." He says as he gets out of the car. Why do I think he's about to do something stupid? *SNAP* Ugh he just broke the lock on the gate.
"Dude seriously?! Did you just use a bolt cutter?" I asked as he tossed the cutters and the lock to the side.
"Well I don't exactly have a key now do I?" He asked and pushed the gate open, stepping to the side. "Ladies first." He smirked as he held the gate open.
"Age before beauty." I scoffed at him. Seriously we're back to our old antics, and it's only been a few hours. Dean glares at me as I give him an innocent smile. He headed up the stairs, with me close behind. Damn he has a nice ass, not going to lie.
Dean's POV
"Window or door?" I asked Ali. Waiting to see if she was going to pick the fun route or the easy route.
"Well we should go through the door but fuck it let's go through the window." I'm shocked as she pushes past me and hops through the window with ease. I climb through the window and land on the creaky floorboard. We both freeze, no sounds we're golden.
"Let's have a look around." As I push past Ali through the beads that Sam has hanging. Seriously beads? What kind of hippie did Sam turn into? I barely take two steps into the other room when I get tackled. After exchanging a few blows I have Sam pinned. "Easy there, Tiger." I pant out.
Ali is standing there chuckling, walks over to the lamp and flicks it on. It's dim but bright enough that the three of us can see each other's faces. Sam blinked, his eyes adjusting to the light.
"Dean? AJ?" He panted. I just laughed. "You scared the crap out of me!"
"That's because you're out of practice!" I exclaim. Ali gives me a look, I probably shouldn't have said that. Sam frowned, grabbed my arm shoving it down and slammed his heel into my back, pinning me to the floor. "Ugh or not! Get off me." I groan, of course Ali would distract me. Those two always buddy up and team up against me.
"What are you two doing here?" His eyes widened as he hears Ali laughing. He picks her up and gives her a giant hug. "Tiny, I missed you. Now please explain what you are doing here."
"Dude, why don't I get a hug?" Sam just looks at me and shakes his head.
"Because you just broke into my apartment, and I'm sure that AJ here didn't have a choice." I looked down.
"Now seriously, what the hell are you guys doing here?" He's pissed, should have just listened to Ali and called first.
"Well we were just looking for a beer." I joked, he doesn't look impressed. "Okay, we need to talk."
"There's a thing called a phone Dean. You haven't talked to me in two years."
"If I called, would you have picked up?" I snap at him. Sam was about to reply when suddenly the room got a whole lot brighter. This hot little blonde walks in, wearing pink shorts and a Smurfs shirt.
"Sam?" I look at Ali and she mouthed girlfriend.
"Jess! Umm this is AJ and my brother Dean." Sam explained.
"Wow Sammy. You got yourself a looker here." I extend my hand for her to shake and Ali just shakes her head.
"I'm sorry for Dean here." She glares at me, and sticks her hand out for Jess to shake. "I'm Alison. Sam calls me AJ and Dean calls me Ali. It's nice to finally meet you."
Jess lets out a small laugh. "Nice to meet you too. But what are you two doing here at 3am?"
"Sorry, but I have to borrow your boyfriend here." I continue "To talk about some private family business but... nice meeting you."
"No!" Sam said quickly. "Whatever you have to say to me, you can say in front of Jess." Ali glanced over at me and I shrugged. I know that I can tell him, without mentioning our line of work.
"Okay" I looked at them and said "Dad hasn't been home in a few days."
"So, he's probably working overtime on a Miller Time shift. He will probably stumble back sooner or later."
Ali shoots me another look. "Dad's on a hunting trip, and he hasn't been home for a few days." I looked sternly at Sam. Sam's face fell, as he understood what we were talking about. Jess looked up at him waiting for an explanation.
"Jess I'm sorry can you excuse us for a moment. We need to go outside."
