For those who didn't quite understand, the second chapter was basically a flashback of the fight that caused Dean to go off on his own in the first place. I realized AFTER I posted it that some might not quite get it right away.


MORE PROBLEMS

"Dean! DEAN!!" Sam cried into the cell phone as he scrambled to pull on his shoes, his heels stepping on the back of his boots as he stumbled his way out the hotel door leaving it wide open. Pausing in the middle of the parking lot he scanned his eyes over the main highway before glancing to each side of the hotel. "Dean, say something! I need to know where you are!" Keeping the phone glued to his ear he walked a little to the right to see if he could recognize the Impala's lights. "D-..." Sam's voice was cut off as the line went dead. His body chilling to the depths of his gut, Sam looked to his phone his fingers tingling with fear. "Bobby." He whispered under his breath. Dean had gone down one of the back roads but there were so many by the time Sam actually found where Dean was on foot it could be too late for his brother. Bobby knew where Dean was and Sam wasn't going to waste time. "Bobby." Sam spoke with urgency and paralyzing fear, his fingers barely able to even hold the phone to his ear anymore. "I need your help."

Standing at the edge of the road Sam's phone was still glued tightly against his ear as he constantly called Deans' cell phone. Each time he would get Dean's answering machine. His entire body was numb with worry as he kept glancing down the left side of the road for Bobby. "Hey this is Dean." "Damnit." Slapping his phone shut Sam struggled to keep tears from streaking down his face. What if something had happened to Dean? The last thing he had said to him face to face was heart retching enough Sam could see Dean trying not to throw up in pain. "C'mon Dean..." He whispered in a ragged breath as he called his brother's call again. "Hey this is Dean."

A blaring horn up ahead took Sam's attention from his phone as he looked to the SUV quickly approaching him. With a soft screech of the tires Bobby halted in front of Sam and waited for the younger Winchester to climb in. Sam was throughly impressed with the large vehichle. As the door shut behind him he looked to Bobby waited for an explanation. The hunter merely shrugged before speeding off down the left dirt road and taking a few sharp turns. With the way Bobby was turning Sam wouldn't have ever found Dean in the maze of roads.

"Let me get this straight...you and Dean were bickering enough that Dean decided to go do a hunt on his own again...when he knew full well that the last hunt he did it nearly ended his life...what the hell were you two bickering about!?" Bobby snapped as he looked over to Sam from time to time, the brunette constantly redialing his brother's phone.

"Family stuff." Sam replied as he continued to stare out the front window as he listened for anything that even sounded like his brother's cell outside the SUV door. Sam may have been the more open one between the two brothers but half of the time he didn't even let Ellen know what was going on between him and Dean. It was their bicker and no one else needed to be involved.

"Ugh...hello?"

Sam's heart nearly skipped as he sat up in his seat and looked to Bobby. "Dean..."

"Sammy?" Dean grunted through the phone.

"Dean where are you? What happened?"

"Calm down Sam...I'm on the back road...ugh...crap...I can't read my own writing anymore, it's all smudged...call Bobby an' get him to tell you."

"Bobby's here, he's driving me to you...stay put we'll be right there."

"Not like I can go anywhere."

"D...an..." A soft groan escaped Dean's lips as he lolled his head back and forth. "De...n." Fluttering his eyes open a blurred vision of someone above him ran over his burning eyes. "Dean!" In a rush the words came clear, the face came clear and Dean was greeted with one monster of a headache. Sam was hovering of him his hands on Dean's face keeping his head still. Squinting his eyes to minimize the burn he raised his hands to touched Sam's smooth face.

"Sam?" Dean mumbled past dry lips as he let his eyes wander the area, he was still sprawled out in the front seat of his car. It took Dean a moment until he figured that he must have passed out again. He was thankful Sam and Bobby were able to find him, the cut on his forehead was still seeping a thin line of blood. Staring at his brother's paled worried face he let a soft chuckle out. "You look like shit."

"Yeah you too." Sam smirked as he slipped his arms around Dean's and carefully pulled him out of the front seat and rested him on the ground letting his back lean against the Impala. Letting his eyes scan over Dean's body he picked up quickly on all the injuries, bruises along his left shoulder, chest and hips. A laceration on his forehead. Several small cuts along his fingers and hands. Without so much as a scold for Deans' reckless driving Sam lifted his brother up with the help of Bobby. Carefully the two set him down in the backseat and buckled him in. With each of them closing their door they stared at each other over the roof of the Impala. "I'll drive the Impala and Dean back to the hotel. We'll spurge for another room so you can stick around, we're going to need your help on this one Bobby." With a nod from the other hunter he retreated to his own SUV and climbed in.

Moving around the car Sam slipped into the front seat. With a twist of the ignition the Impala took it's time until it finally rumbled to life. With the quick turn of the wheel and a nudge of the gas them Impala pulled a sharp U and Sam followed after Bobby heading back to the hotel.

With Sam taking Dean's arms and Bobby with his feet they carried the older, much heavier, male into the room and dropped him on the bed. "Ugh...watch the package..." Dean groaned as he rolled on to his side, as Sam drew near to take care of the wound Dean would fight him off and turn away. "Piss off Sam." Dean hissed as he swatted Sam's hands away again.

"Dean!" Sam scolded as he once again tried to get a look at the nick on Dean's forehead. With one last swat Sam backed away. "Fine, get an infection." He hissed through his teeth before heading towards the kitchen area of the motel and taking a seat across from Bobby. Looking to the bed as Dean shifted so his back was facing the light the brunette scowled softly.

Raising a mug of beer to his lips Bobby shifted his eyes between Sam and Dean. "You two alright?"

"Yeah." Sam grumbled as he lifted the beer bottle to his lips taking a small sip. "Dean's just been..." Sam's words wandered low as he stared at his brother with worried eyes. For a moment all he could think about was what happened to Dean. What made him swerve out of control like that and what caused him to yell after the crash. Lifting his eyes to Bobby he cleared his throat. "So...tell me about this haunting. All Dean mentioned was that it was a haunted back road."

"Well...that's why I called you boys in the first place. I figured if anyone could find some information on this it would be you, Sam. There were a few reports of car accidents on the road. Whoever had survived the wrecks usually ended up growing violent with their spouse, parents, kids or siblings. Whoever they cared for the most at the time. Kinda like I love you so much I hate you scenario."

"So you don't have anything besides the reports?"

"Sam, you saw Dean's car, the skids in the dirt, the injuries on his body. Something spooked him enough that he lost control of his car. I did a little searching myself and found a possible candidate. Micheal Arthen. He was murdered on that road by his wife about a decade ago."

"A decade? Then why is it showing up now?"

"Not sure, could have been something irritated the spirit enough to show up. Several people have gone down that road but only a select few ever get into an accident, most of the time it's fatal."

"So then, this spirit shows up to those who are agitated with the people they care about?"

"It's a theory. It would explain why Dean got into the car accident and we didn't."

"Anyone alive who've seen this thing?"

"Nope, all dead."

"All of them!?"

"Every last one. Moments after killing their special someone they ended their own life."

"Any connections between the victims?"

"Just one." Standing up slightly Bobby went into his back pocket and pulled out a piece of paper before handing it to Sam. "Each suicide ended with the body found in the car they got into the accident with."

"What?" Grabbing the paper Sam found several clipping pasted onto a single page. "Women commits suicide in own car at the local junk yard a week after getting into an accident. Her husband was found murdered in her home the same day. Teen kills himself in his crushed Talon moments after murdering his girlfriend of three years a week after getting into an accident. Woman reveals the horrors of being attacked by her boyfriend moments before she's murdered in her home. Her boyfriend was found deceased in his newly restored Toyota." Setting the page down he looked up to Bobby. "You think this will happen to Dean?"

"It's possible. He's already starting to get a little violent with you Sam."

"Yeah but that's Dean everyday." Sam barked a little louder as he clenched the beer bottle in his hand.

"I don't like this either Sam but we should keep this in mind. Just be careful." Finishing off his mug of beer he set the glass down and stood up. "I'm going to turn in, take care of your brother and yourself Sam. I'll see you tomorrow." Setting a hand to Sam's shoulder Bobby retreated to his own room.

Once Bobby was gone Sam turned his eye back over to Dean. His lips turned down as he watched his brother carefully turn in his bed and wince each time he rubbed his forehead along the pillow. Letting a gentle sigh escape his lips he walked over to Dean's side. Leaning forward he set his lips to Dean's and kissed him softly. 'He won't change...' Sam thought to himself as he kissed Dean's lips again leaning in a little more this time. 'I know he won't.'


Yeah okay, this chapter was a liiiiittle boring but I think it's the next one that things will pick up a bit more.
