Chapter 20:

'Right so you need to make a left.'

Nodding he turned to the left down another dirt road. They had made good time considering they had left John at her Mum and Dad's and packed the Impala with all they thought they would need.

John didn't mind. Tess knew he would be pampered and spoilt for the time they would be away.

Tess had slept part of the journey and had then woken up. The Impala had overtaken a large truck and the sound of the engine roaring had made her start.

She was quiet and nervous Dean could tell. Reaching across the seat and clasped her hand. 'It will be ok we are together.'

'Yeah.'

He took his eyes off the road and stared at her, 'Baby honestly we'll be fine. I mean you and me almost on a hunt together you know? It'll be fun.'

'I know Dean. I'm just nervous.'

He gently rubbed her hand his thumb caressed her knuckles softly. 'You are bound to be. It's our first hunt isn't it?'

'Yeah we really haven't done this before properly.'

Nodding he turned up the radio. Taking a look at her he whispered, 'Just relax baby.'

Listening to his voice and a relaxing song by Kansas made her snuggled down in the seat and close her eyes.

They'd been driving for five hours and Tess felt sick. They hadn't eaten or stopped off for a break and it was now the early hours of the morning.

Stopping off at a motel Tess's eyes were already closing. The motel was a lot better than the other one's he had stopped off at before.

A good shower and the bed seemed to be clean and free from itchy scratchy covers. Yawning Tess flopped down on the bed and instantly curled up.

Dumping the bags Dean pulled out her laptop from Tess's bag Dean started to look at the information about Chuck Shurley.

There wasn't much to know he had no criminal records although he had been made bankrupt not long ago. No one had heard much about him and finding his address was pretty easy.

Tess stirred in her sleep reaching out for him and sighing when he wasn't right next to her. Taking off his jacket he just slipped under the covers next to her and pulled her towards him.

Feeling her warm breath against the hollow of his throat he closed his eyes and slipped off into sleep.
