I appreciate the reviews, thanks.
Project Eight
Chapter six
"What am I going to do if this keeps happening? I can't be seen walking around with half of me invisible." Sam said as he climbed in the car and shut the door.
"Actually if we learned how to control it it could end up being a big help on the job. You could get into places unseen and check out the situation before we go in. … Just think of all the dorm rooms you could check out….. and the sorority houses." Dean said as he gave his brother a little smile trying to lighten the mood, but in fact he was terrified. What if his brother completely disappeared and didn't come back, just like what happened to the professor and his students.
"Yeah." Sam said staring straight ahead and Dean could tell his brother was terrified.
"Sam it's going to be alright…. you'll see. " Dean said trying to reassure him.
"But what if it's not?"
"I'm going to get you out of this mess Sam."
"What if you can't?"
"Hey…when did I ever let you down?"
Sam thought for a few seconds.
"Well there was that one time in Nevada when you…."
"Okay, okay, okay don't remind me….but there were extenuating circumstances."
"There were?" Sam said looking over at Dean for a moment taking his mind off of his problems.
"Yeah."
"If I remember right you were suppose to meet me at the mine shaft at ten, but you were lusting after some hot barmaid and didn't show up till twelve."
"But I did show up." Dean said defending himself.
"Yeah … but not till I had already gone nine rounds with that settler's spirit who almost decapitated me."
"Okay, maybe just that one time….I guess I just got a little distracted."
"And then there was that time in Canada."
Dean thought for a few seconds and then remembered what had happened and it wasn't pretty. Sam almost had to have his jaw wired shut after the beating he took.
"Well that was because we were foreigners. We never should have gone into that bar when a hockey game was on TV."
"If I remember right I think that's what I told you."
"Hey Sam." Dean smiled as he nodded towards Sam legs which had reappeared. "You're back."
"Yeah….yeah I am." Sam gave a relieved smile as he touched his legs.
"Well now that you're with us again I say we find out where this Wylie teaches and head on over there."
"We can go to the library and get a college directory, it'll show which college he teaches at."
They drove to the far end of the campus where the library was located. Dean parked then started to climb out of the car but was stopped by Sam who grabbed his arm.
"What's wrong?" Dean asked.
Sam nodded toward a security guard who had just come around from the side of the building as he made his rounds.
"It will be light soon, we might as well wait till they open. Why chance getting caught."
"Sam we got to get in there and find his address before you…" Dean didn't continue….he didn't want to think about what was going to happen if they couldn't find Wylie or the antidote.
"Before I completely disappear?" Sam finished Dean's sentence for him. "You can say it Dean…it isn't going to make it happen anytime sooner."
"Like I said before Sam nothing is going to happen. We're finding him and getting the antidote and you'll be fine." Dean prayed that what he said was true.
Later
They stayed in the car and waited till the library opened two hours later. They both started to get out of the car but Sam suddenly hesitated.
"You better go in by yourself just in case I start disappearing again…wouldn't want to freak the natives out." Sam said as he sat back in the car. "If they never heard of Wylie ask to see the Who's Who in American Colleges then look up his name. It should list the college where he teaches."
"Sure thing college boy." Dean smiled. "I'll be right back." He turned up his collar against the wind and rain and ran toward the library.
Dean went into the library and got the information he needed. Wylie was working at a small college about twenty miles away. He hurried back to the car and jumped inside. The wind and rain had picked up and the weather was getting worse as the hurricane approached.
"Man it's really getting bad out there." He said as he turned to Sam. The passenger's seat was empty.
