Okay this isn't beta'd and is jerky but I'm trying to get my mojo back with regard to writing.
Sam was greeted with an awkward silence when he re-entered the living room alone. The discomfort of Rory and Luke couldn't help but give him the feeling that his brother had been right especially seeing how Lorelai and her father were nowhere to be seen. All of which kind of set his teeth on edge, one he hated that Dean was right and two he hated that the people he vouched for had probably dropped his family right in it while trying to protect him. It was like his third grade teacher all over again when he told her that he got that bruise on his side because Dean had tried to show him something that Dean had learned during one of Dad and Dean's 'one on one' training sessions.
He stood there for a moment before going over to take the bag off of Rory, which thankfully from the look on her face she hadn't looked in. If she had she wouldn't be looking so guilty about now, more a pale shade of green as sweet little Rory tried to keep down whatever was in her stomach a she would have found a file containing pictures of the remains of dismembered elementary school aged kids.
"He's gone," Sam said quietly shouldering the bag.
"What?" Luke asked
"My brother," Sam replied, straightening up. "He had somewhere to be, so he went."
"Oh…" Rory said sounding somewhat relieved but a little disappointed at the same time.
Emily nodded going towards the drinks cabinet to freshen her drink. "That is a shame. He seemed like an interesting young man."
"Thank you ma'am," Sam replied causing Luke and Rory to look at him a little funny.
"Well does that mean he is coming back for you? Or are you meeting him later?" Emily asked to which he shrugged.
"Is that your response?" Emily enquired to which Sam got a nudge from Rory.
"I don't know," Sam said quietly.
She nodded, before looking behind him, "Richard, it appears that we need to talk to the security company and the landscaper."
"Why is that dear," Richard said as he strode towards the group with a tense Lorelai following on behind him.
"Well according to Sam's brother we are somewhat lacking on precautions against intruders."
"Really?" Richard said. "And where is the young man."
"He thought he should go," Sam said before he bit his lip. "Before the cops got here?"
"What?" Lorelai said a little surprised.
"So you called them yet?" Sam asked the room.
"De...Sam, we…" Rory started to say causing Sam to give her a warm look.
"It's okay," Sam said with a nod before heading upstairs. "I understand so does he? Just call me when they get here."
It was weird standing there in the drive way fingering the cigarette in his hand, the last one he had, the stress of the day had caused him to go from his usual one or two a week when the boredom of Stars Hollow got to him to almost a whole packet. Not that Luke or Rory had noticed him sneaking out during the whole of this. Not with 'Sam' being the centre of attention right now, which suited him fine seeing how it'd only mean they'd give him a lecture for not completely giving up his habit.
But there was a difference between disappearing for 10 minutes when he had gotten to his limits and disappearing to try and hit a local store because he doubted they would start missing him after that. Probably think that Sam's asshole of a father had done something to him in retaliation for keeping his boy from him. Though really if dumping the guy in Stars Hollow for over two years wasn't a sign that the guy had a screwed up view of caring where his kid was, letting him bust out the second storey of an exploding warehouse window without batting an eye was sure a sign of something.
He rolled the thing in his hand one more time before putting it back into the packet with a sigh; thinking that he should save it for when the cops appeared and dragged Sam's older brother…the real Dean out of the house. Yeah, better keep it for that because this place will really be just be one step off a 5 star spa resort after that happens.
Though for a second he thought he could hear giggling from behind the driveway wall. Yeah high pitch girl like giggling from behind the wall, where he found the big ugly ass muscle car from earlier that evening was sitting.
"No, you really not …should say that," Rory's grandparents' maid said giggling as she stood there obviously flirting with the Sam's older brother.
'Okay' Jess thought firstly, before thinking about how Sam's brother must be the biggest idiot he had ever come across. Dean was really standing outside the elder Gilmore's House without a care in the world trying to hook up with a maid, who from the accent and the falling over her words had barely a working grasp of English.
He stood there for a moment just by the gate post watching them, seeing Dean's easy manner as he was getting somewhere with this girl, only a few hours after this mess had started. Everyone else who was involved had been traumatised for life and this guy was acting that the only thing that was important was his dick.
"You know if you take a picture it will last longer," Dean said suddenly turning his head to engage Jess. "Then you can piss off."
He turned his head back to the girl who seemed a little more embarrassed now seeing how she suddenly whispered something in Dean's ear before rushing off.
"Well, she seemed really into you," Jess said to which Dean shrugged before opening the door to the car.
"Your brother is the only one in there with any idea what is going on in that house and instead of sticking around and helping him you are going to take off because some maid isn't going to hook up with you?" Jess asked.
"No sirens yet," Dean said. "Think Sammy will be okay on that score."
"Yeah, sure he will after everything you guys have done."
"Oh her name is Inga, at least be polite," Dean retorted dismissively as he got into the car.
"Yeah like that is the most important thing to think of right now," Jess said as Dean got into the car causing the younger man to angrily bring down a fist on the hood.
"I'm talking to you," Jess spat out as the door opened.
"Seriously?" Dean questioned. "What is your damage?"
"My damage?"
"Yeah, your damage?" Dean asked.
"You are seriously fucked up?" Jess said. "No wonder your brother wants nothing to do with you."
Dean tensed for a second as Jess saw a moment of hurt pass in the lean broad shouldered individual in front of him before a lightness swept over him. "Really and you would care about that? Thought he was just getting in your way."
"My way?" Jess said. "Like Rory would ever have really done anything like you wanted with him."
"Excuse me?"
"Well wasn't that the plan, Sammy getting it on with Rory?" Jess asked. "She would never have put out with a liar like that, not that Sam was expecting her too in the end. Seems like he was dragging it out with her for appearances just to stay away from you."
"What do you mean dragging it out for appearances?" Dean asked as he leant on the top of the car door causing Jess to pull back not sure how to answer. Both of them standing there hesitating for a minute.
"So Rory was just appearance? Explains why he hung on for so long, but her? Dean replied with a smirk. "That is right isn't it? He had to dump her before she would go with you?"
"What is your point?" Jess said hurt.
"So you scheme around her until her boyfriend gets pissed off?" Dean sighed. "Dude, have some dignity. Picking up other guys' leftovers isn't a good look but if that is your thing I'll ask Sammy to give you a call the next time he wants to dump a girl."
Jess gritted his teeth as Dean started to get in the car causing the older boy to stop
"What? Did I hit a nerve?" Dean asked as Jess stood there saying nothing. He bent to get into the car. "Well good luck with Rory, you two might even get past second base someday."
As the engine started Jess started to see red bending down to pick up a rock launching it awkwardly into the air in the end just catching the roof of the car. Though it did cause a sudden haul in the revving of the engine.
Dean slowly and deliberately got out of the car. "Kid, you are pushing it."
"Really?" Jess said. "I'm the one that is pushing it?"
"Go walk it off," Dean said firmly.
"Yeah sure I'll walk it off what with you in your….tricked out…junker."
"Excuse me?"
"Seriously, you build it out of the leftovers your brother built Rory's car out of?" Jess said. "Because I'm telling you that thing, the steering on that was shit. This one is probably held together under the paint job and saw dust."
Dean closed the door on the car as Jess stood there anger flowing from every pore. "You really want to do this, don't you?"
Jess glared back. "Really now you are pissed at me?"
"Well…," Dean said hesitating for a moment as the teenager in front of him stood one step from launching himself at him. "Oh Fuck it."
Sam sat on the floor, pulling files out of the bag as Lorelai tried to explain the conversation her and her father had had in his office through the door of Rory's room. About how they hadn't called anyone yet but if they did and the authorities were brought in to this the correct way that Sam and his brother possibly could get out of this mess by explaining how they were just following the lead of others. How Sam could try and have the life he said he wanted if…he let his father take the blame.
He started to try and arrange the paper as she said she wasn't trying to betray him by suggesting that calling the police to talk to his brother. Not that he really did think she was betraying him or anyone, it was just she didn't get it and in typical Gilmore style never would.
"Sam?" Rory said as she gently put a hand on his to bring his focus off of the paperwork and back to the voices outside the door. It was just then his cell vibrated in his back pocket. He looked at her for a moment before taking it out to read the text.
"For the record it wasn't about the girl. And he started. D"
