CHAPTER TEN: On The Road Again

They weren't even ten miles away from the bunker before Sam had truly realized what he had done. He glanced over at his brother only to see Dean was staring at him, brows furrowed.

"What?" Sam snapped, he had just saved his ass from torture and yet he was looking at him like he was deranged.

"I'm just a little curious as to what the fuck you're doing? Last time I checked I was some douche bag demon who needed to be locked up." Dean was still staring at his brother, making sure he hadn't lost his mind.

Sam shrugged like it was no big deal, earning him an eye roll from the demon. "I didn't think we were taking the best course of action." The youngest Winchester said, sounding like he just pulled it out of his ass.

"So really you have no idea?"

"Not a clue." Sam said sighing.

"No that's good, great plan. Oh wait, now we have a pissed off angel, a possessive demon, and most likely Alastair on our asses. No, this was a terrific plan." Dean's voice was full of sarcasm as he turned his head to look out the window. "Can I drive?"

"I haven't lost my mind Dean. Nice try though." Sam said as he let up on the gas a little. He hadn't realized he was going around 75 mph as they drove down a country road.

We are so screwed. Sam thought, looking in the rear view mirror.

…

After tackling Crowley to the floor, Castiel had teleported them both to an old motel room about 50 miles away from the bunker.

They were both glaring at each other, breathing hard. The King made his way over and sat on the bed that creaked under his weight.

"Really Cas? Really?"

"Don't call me that." Castiel said as he looked out of the window. He assumed Sam would do something to insure Crowley couldn't get into Dean.

"Can't we be reasonable here? You know he's destined to go demonic, so why not just let me help him with it."

"Help him?" Cas scoffed. "Like how you helped him last time? He went and murdered people Crowley. You couldn't even keep a leash on him."

The demon clenched his jaw and stood up, dusted off his suit and went to leave. "I'm assuming Moose did something to keep me out of that room. But don't worry, I'll be back." With that, he disappeared.

Man, Crowley liked to hear the sound of his own voice.

….

Castiel appeared at the end of the hallway, opposite of the room Dean was in. The angel started down the hallway only to stop in his tracks. The door was left wide open and there was a can of paint spilt on the floor. Cas rushed down the hall and saw the crossed out demon sigil. Somehow he knew what he'd find, but he checked anyways.

Walking in, Castiel saw the chains on the floor next to the empty chair.

Dammit Dean, what did you do?

"Sam? SAM?" Cas searched the whole bunker but couldn't find a trace of the younger Winchester. Had Dean taken him? Is he even still alive?

The angel decided the quickest way to find both the Winchester's was to get help from his angels. Hopefully they'd still be willing to help.

…

"Are we there yet?" Dean said with a smirk. "I have to pee."

"Demons don't pee. Now shut up." Sam said, sighing heavily. Dean hadn't stopped talking since they had left the bunker two hours ago.

"But Sammyyyy" He whined, making sure to drag out the 'y' as long as he could.

"I'm not afraid to gag you Dean."

Dean gave a slight laugh and his eyes had returned to green. "Can you at least tell me where we're going? The suspense is killing me. I need to know if I should be prepared for pain."

"Bobby's. We're going to Bobby's house." Sam said casually.

"That might be a little difficult seeing as though it burned down years ago." Dean said glancing at his brother. Maybe he has gone crazy. I'm stuck in a car with a crazy person.

The hunter saw Dean's judging face from the corner of his eyes. "I know. But the yard is still there and I have an idea."

"Care to share with the class?"

"Nope." Sam said, turning up the music.

With that Dean shut up, knowing he wasn't going to get an answer out of his brother since he willingly turned up Metallica.

….

After driving for thirteen straight hours, Sam needed a break. He was hungry, tired, and had to pee so bad he thought he was going to explode.

Finding a nearby motel, he went in and ordered a room, keeping Dean in the car.

Fidgeting with the cuffs, Dean desperately tried to find a way out of them. He had ditched his lock picks a month ago and now was regretting it. Maybe if I yanked hard enough…

Sam walked out just in time to see his brother trying to yank the handle off from the car. Getting in the driver's seat, he looked over at Dean who looked like he just got caught with his hand in a cookie jar.

"I had an itch." The demon said with a sly grin. Sam put the car in drive and drove around to where their room was.

"Now you have two options, either you sleep in the trunk or you can go inside and behave yourself." Sam said defiantly. He was not in the mood to deal with his brother's bullshit.

With a heavy sigh Dean mumbled 'room' as Sam got out of the car. Moving to the passenger's side, he took out the key and undid the cuffs that attached the eldest Winchester to the door handle. Dean got out of the car and with Sam having a firm grip on his arm, walked towards the door. As soon as his little brother unlocked it, he shoved Dean into the room, locking the door behind them.

….

"Hannah I need your help." Cas begged. He knew he didn't have the right to ask, but prayed the angels would find it in their hearts to help him.

"You need our help? Where were you when we needed a new leader Castiel?"Hannah looked pissed. They still hadn't found a leader. Maybe if Castiel took the job… she might be more willing to help.

"I'll do anything. It's of great importance that I get help."

"What's so important?" The angel asked curiously. Something had Cas in a frenzy.

Cas had to stop and think. Could he tell her about Dean? "It's… Dean Winchester. I need help locating him but he's warded himself from angels."

Hannah rolled her eyes. "The human again. Castiel he is just dragging you through the mud."

The angel could only see one way to get help from them, so he told them everything. What had happened once Dean woke up, what Alastair and Crowley did to him. What I did to him.

Hannah sighed heavily. Then, after a few moments of thought, "We will help-"

"Thank you so mu-."

"IF, you lead us."

Castiel just slowly nodded his head, hoping that this time, he wouldn't go insane.
