Chapter 10
Dean woke up slowly the next day, light trying to flow in through his eyelids. He never felt that he got enough sleep. There was always something to do, get food, watch Sam, earn cash. Dean never felt there were enough hours in the day to give him time to sleep or rest.
"Dean." Sam said. Dean tried to look as though he was sleeping, keeping his breathing even and his body calm. He was hoping to get a few minutes to himself, just him and his thoughts. But Sam was persistent, as always, "Dean. Dean, there's a job today. Dean."
The older Winchester could tell that his little brother was sitting on his bed next to him. Dean playfully shoved Sam off the bed. "Shut up. I'm sleeping."
"No you're not." Sam giggled. Dean opened his eyes a little to see Sam standing next to his head, grinning goofily at him. Dean couldn't help but smile at his brother.
"Okay, so maybe I'm not asleep, but I want to be. So shush." Dean teased a little, turning over in bed.
"You can't go back to sleep. You have to get ready to go." Sam told him.
With a sigh, Dean rolled out of bed, knowing his little brother was right. Dean was already dressed. Being a kid from the street didn't give him much of a choice in wardrobe. He grabbed his gun from the floor and holstered it. Running a hand through his hair, he looked around to make sure he wasn't missing anything.
"Ready?" Dean asked Sam, standing near the door. Sam nodded and fell into step beside his big brother as they walked down the hallway towards the kitchen.
When they got there, they saw Wash and Zoe sitting at the table, talking to one another. Sam sat down at the table and Dean went to get them both some food.
"Hey Sam." Wash greeted, his usual happy expression on his face.
"Hello." Sam responded politely, smiling a little at him.
"How are you?"
"I'm good. How are you?"
"Good, thanks." Wash seemed a little surprised by Sam's manners, knowing how to hold a good conversation.
"Ready for the job today?" Zoe asked, turning to look at Dean. Dean came over to the table, putting food in front of Sam and then sitting with some in front of him as well.
"Oh yeah. Just glad captain let me help." Dean answered, beginning to eat.
"Well good. I hope you know what you're getting yourself into. Jobs can go sideways real quick." she warned.
"I'm aware. It'll go fine. I can think on my feet."
"Well, good."
"Where are the others?" Sam questioned, looking around at the empty chairs that were pushed in around the table.
"Off getting ready for the big day." Wash told them, "We should be heading out in two hours. Or whenever the captain's done with his hair." he joked.
Dean and Sam nodded, laughing a little.
Today was certainly going to be interesting. Whether it would be good or bad, they didn't know. But interesting was certain.
