Chapter 3
After a while Dean slowly stagers out of the bedroom he is heading for the dining room. The female doctor walks out of the dining room with two plates of food.
"What are you doing on your feet out of bed?" The female doctor yells at him.
"I'm hungry," Dean replies.
"I'm bringing you food. Go back to bed," the female doctor orders.
"I can't Cass is in the way." Dean responds.
"Damn, freaking hunters." The female doctor cusses. "Go sit on the couch."
She puts the plates on the coffee table in front of the couch then walks into the bedroom to get Cass. Dean slowly moves to the couch.
An hour later everyone is back by the fireplace including Cass and Dean.
"Dean, when was your first hunt and what was it?" Kevin asks.
"It was 1985, I was six and it was ghost hunt." Dean answers.
"Tell them the story. Start with the dig with dad." Sam encourages.
"Okay. Dad and I were in the Impala getting ready to leave Bobby's. Bobby was taking care of Sam." Dean starts the story.
In the past on an early spring morning little Dean is in passenger seat and John is driver's seat, of course. John starts up the Impala but keeps it in park.
"Is my little marine ready for his secret mission?" John asks.
"Yes Sir." Dean replies like a soldier and salutes his dad.
John sees Bobby walking towards them. He asks, "Do you remember our cover story?"
Dean stares at John.
"What we're going to tell Bobby," John says.
"We're going to tell Bobby we're going fishing but we're take of care of a ghost." Dean replies.
Bobby is next John's door. John rolls down the window.
"Where are you taking him?" Bobby asks.
"Fishing, like normal families," Dean cuts in.
"Dean, he asked me." John scolds.
"Sorry sir." Dean replies.
"Boy, you have fun." Bobby says.
"I will." Dean says excitedly.
"We should get going." John insists.
"Yeah, I should go check on Sam." Bobby replies and heads into the house.
John takes the Impala out of park and drives away.
The sun is setting and it's getting dark. John and little Dean are in a cemetery. Dean is holding a flashlight while John digs.
"Sir, can I dig?" Dean asks.
"Sure, I'm almost there." John replies. "Get in here."
Dean jumps into the hole and hands John the flashlight and takes the shovel. He starts shoveling. In a short time he hits a pine box. John takes the shovel, picks Dean up and puts him next to the hole.
"You're turn to hold the flashlight." John says.
Dean takes the flashlight and shines it in the hole. John whacks the pine box with the back of the shovel and cracks it open and removes the lid. He climbs out.
"Dean, watch for people and its ghost." John orders.
"Yes sir." Dean replies and salutes.
Dean is scanning the area as John salts and drenches the bones with gas. Dean sees the pissed off ghost appear behind his dad.
"Dad, it's behind you!" Dean screams and pees his pants.
The ghost attacks John before he could light the bones. John yells at Dean, "Light the bones."
Dean grabs the book of matches and strike them like his daddy showed him. He throws the lit matches into the grave and the bones start on fire. The ghost burns up and disappears.
John stands up looks at Dean. "Good job, marine. Now let's go change your pants."
They head to the Impala.
A couple days later Dean is back in Sioux Falls at school, kindergarten. It's recess he sees a little girl he likes crying on a bench. He walks over to her.
"What's wrong Kelly?" Dean asks as he sits next to her.
"My great-great grandpa is mad," she begins. "He did this."
She shows the bruises on her arms, legs and stomach.
"He's a ghost, right?" Dean asks.
"Yes. No one believes me. They think my dad did this but he didn't." Kelly replies.
"I can tell my dad. He'll take care of the ghost." Dean says.
"No. My parents don't like your dad. They think he's raising you to be a serial killer, whatever that means." Kelly says.
"Oh. I could do it with help. Do you know where he's buried?" Dean asks.
"Yeah next to the grove on our property," Kelly answers.
Dean gets a group of kids together and tells them what needs to be done and what they need to do it.
Its night time and Dean slips out of Bobby's house without notice because John and Bobby are arguing again.
An hour later Dean, Kelly and a group of kids are standing around Kelly's great-great-grandpa's grave. Half the kids have shovels the other half have flashlights.
"Let's start digging." Dean orders.
The kids with shovels, including Dean, start digging. An hour later they finally get to the pine box. Dean and four other boys open the box and climbs out of the hole. Dean looks at Kelly and the other girls. The girls start salting the bones and a couple of the boys, dumps cans of gas over the bones. The ghost appears. All but Dean screams. Dean quickly lights the matches and throws them into the grave. The bones start on fire. The ghost burns up and disappears. Kelly's parents run out of the house screaming. All the kids, except Kelly, run away.
When Dean finally gets to Bobby's place John is waiting for him on the porch.
"Where have you been?" John asks.
"Working, Sir." Dean replies like a marine.
"What's rule number one?" John asks.
"Not to tell anyone what your job is." Dean replies.
"What our job is," John corrects him.
"I'm a hunter." Dean says smiles.
"Yes, now get inside." John orders and slaps Dean's ass as Dean passes him.
Present
"The next day Kelly gave me a kiss then told she can't hang out with me." Dean finishes.
"Did you have a childhood?" Kevin asks.
"Bobby tried to give me as much of childhood as he could." Dean answers.
"Anybody need a beer?" Trace asks.
Everyone says, "Yes." Trace and Obadiah start handing out beers.
