Dean was confused. Everybody's heard that story – the call is coming from inside the house! Scary the first time or two, but a stupid prank call to make.
Also, the prankster found out his name but not-
His thought was cut short when he heard a slight creek above him. It might have been quiet enough to go unnoticed by most people, but Winchesters weren't most people – Dad made sure of that.
Dean stood, silently climbed the stairs. The only stop he made before heading to the bedroom he shared with Sam was to the weapons stash in Dad's room.

Dean saw the shadow of a man in the room. He knew Sam was still safe because the last call asked if he'd checked 'the children.' Obviously, the man wasn't close enough to see there was only one real child in the bed.
Without a sound, he opened the door enough to slide into the room. That's when he noticed the knife the guy had. And, how he was getting closer to Sam.
"I suggest you back away from my brother right now," Dean said low and calm.
The guy turned around and Dean cocked the Beretta.
The guy screamed.

It didn't happen often, but John savored returning home ahead of schedule. However, as he pulled up to their current lodgings, he was met with a surprise.
Two teenage boys were running around the perimeter crying out for a third – who was running out the front door screaming. Each had a mysterious dark spot on the crotch of his jeans.
Looking back at the doorway, John saw Dean – one arm holding Sammy safely behind him, in his other hand was a Beretta.
John wasn't sure what had gone down but he could guess that these teenagers wouldn't bother them again.
