They then arrived at the diner. Lexi was walking next to Dean. John was taken a booth in the back and then slid in.
"Slide in with Dean." John said to Lexi.
"Yes sir." She told her father.
"So what's going on?" Sam was then asking him.
"What can I get you folks?" The waitress was asking them when she was standing by the table.
"I'll have a burger with fries,and a coke." Dean said placing his order.
"Me too." Lexi told her softly.
"Chicken salad with an ice-tea." Sam said.
"And for you Sir?" She stood there asking John.
"Turkey on rye with fries and a coke." John told her when she was then placing their orders.
"Ok so dad what's up?" Dean asked his dad softly so no one would hear.
"There's a case and I think we need to do this together." John said to his kids.
"As in me too?" Lexi asked with excitement.
"Yes even you." John said to her when he chuckled.
He saw how she smiled to that.
"Dad, I mean is it wise to do so?" Dean was asking him.
"Yeah. Lets take the Highway and find a Motel and go over the plan." John suggested when the food was then arriving.
After they ate they were headed to find a Motel.
"Alexandrea." John called to his daughter.
She gave her brothers a worried look.
"Yes Sir?" She asked him.
"Why don't you drive with me." Her Dad suggested to her.
She gave her brothers a sad look before heading over to her Dads truck. While driving Sam and Dean were trying to figure out why their Dad wanted Lexi to drive with him.
"Maybe he missed her." Sam said to his brother but Dean wasn't buying it.
"He better not her put her in danger." Dean said angrily to his brother.
"C'mon Dean, its Dad were talking bout." Sam said to him giving his older brother a look.
"That's what I mean Sammy. Its Dad. You never know what is up with that man." Dean said trying not to get mad.
Meantime in John was talking with his daughter.
"So Alexandrea, how are things?" He asked her.
"Fine. Dean and Sam are the best." She said wondering why the questions.
"You look nervous." He said to her.
"Um- no- its just- I didn't know why you wanted me to come." She said to him looking behind her to see if her brothers were still there.
"Are you afraid of me?" He asked her.
She looked at him sadly without even saying a word John knew his daughter was scared.
"There's a Motel five minutes from here." John told her.
When they saw the Motel they pulled up. Lexi was happy as can be.
"I will check us in." Dean suggested to his father.
Lexi stood there looks scared. Sam could sense that. Dean was coming back out with a key to their room.
"Room 465." He told them when they drove to their room.
John was heading in first followed by Sam, Lexi and then Dean.
"Ok its safe." John said to his kids.
Lexi was heading to the bed away from the door.
"Sam. You and Dean take one bed and your sister and I will take that one." John explained.
Lexi gave her brothers a look as –in-no-way.
"Its ok Dad, I don't mind sharing a bed with her." Sam said to his dad.
John stood their giving Sam a look. Dean knew he need to stop this before it would turn into a fight.
"Dad look its-." Dean started to say before John stopped his son.
"Dean don't cover up for your brother. Obviously he has a problem with the sleeping arrangements." John said to his son.
Lexi stood their getting scared and upset. Dean moved closer to her.
"Maybe hunting with you three was a mistake." John told his kids.
"Dad, look its-." Dean said when he snapped at his father.
"Boy I don't like your tone with me." John said to Dean.
"Dad look I'm sorry but we've been with her and know-." Dean stared to say.
"Don't say you know best, cause like hell you do. I am her father." John said getting hostile with Dean. When he was raising his voice.
"Dad-look all I am saying is that, while you where who god's no, we were with her and never left her when she needed someone like-." Dean said when he swallowed knowing what he was saying was out of line but his dad needed to hear it.
"Don't say when she needed her Father. I had business to take care of." John yelled.
"You're business was here." Sam said helping his brother tell his father.
Lexi stood there with tears building in her eyes.
"She is my business but I was one step behind finding out what killed your Mother." John stated to his kids.
"Dad your daughter was dealing some serious issues." Sam told his father.
"She had you both." John said when he was walking away.
Sam turned his father around. With that John threw a punch to Sam's face. That caused Lexi to scream. Dean tried to grab his Father off of his brother. Lexi ran over to Sam.
"Sammy." She cried when he gave her a look. He rubbed his face of where his father punched him.
She buried her head in his neck and cried. John broke out of Dean's hold and walked out the Motel door.
"Dean I'm sorry." Sam said softly to his brother.
"No. You were telling him what he needed to hear." Dean told his brother.
"Hey Lex-." Sam said to her when he moved her away.
She had tears coming down her face.
"I am sorry that I am causing all this trouble." She told her brothers.
"No never are you trouble." Sam said to her.
"Sammy's right. Glad you are here with us." Dean told her when he too walked out.
Lexi gave a sad look when she saw her brother walking out as well. Sam noticed the look on her face.
"He's looking for Dad. Has nothing to do with you." Sam said to her when he held her close in his arms.
Sam rocked his sister in his arms long enough to fall sleep in his arms. He felt bad for her. He laid her on the bed. Dean had then found his dad at a bar.
"Dad look." Dean said to his father.
"No, you and Sam are right. But I still don't like the attitude." John said to him with a smile.
"Sorry Sir." Dean said to him.
After a while they spoke and Dean left to head back to the Motel. Sam was sitting up waiting for either his brother, Dad or both to come home. With that Dean was walking into the Motel room.
"Dean." Sam said when he stood up.
"Look lets get some sleep and the three of us will head out." Dean said when he plopped himself down on the bed.
"Dad left uh?" Sam asked his brother.
"Yeah. Now go to sleep." Dean told his brother.
"Dean." Sam said.
"We have work to do. We need to get some sleep." Was all Dean said when he then got into bed.
