AN: Here's a quick chapter for ya'll! Unfortunately, it's a short chapter, but hopefully the next chapter will be up pretty quick as well.
"I don't even know why you have a driver's license," Rufus grumbles to Bobby as the two of them climb out of the car.
"If you think he's bad, you should try riding with dad," Gracilynn says to Rufus with a smirk. Rufus chuckles, taking in the glare Dean sends his daughters' way. Dean looks back over at Rufus and smiles.
"Well, look what the cat dragged in," Dean says.
"It really is good to see you, Rufus," Sam adds.
"I can believe it. It must get old dealing with this miserable cuss here all by yourself," Rufus replies.
"Is it that obvious?" Sam asks with a smirk.
"Why don't you three get a room?" Bobby grumbles.
"All right, we all pack a snack?" Dean asks.
"Yeah," Sam answers.
"Let's see what we can see," Dean says, leading the way to the door of the Cannery. Rufus walks over to Gracilynn and pulls her in for a side hug as they follow Dean.
"I don't know how you do it," he says to her, watching the two older Winchesters and Bobby walk ahead of them.
"Do what?" she asks, looking over at him. Rufus smiles and looks over at her.
"Deal with those three twenty-four, seven," he replies, nodding towards the group in front of them.
"Lots and lots of alcohol," Gracilynn replies with her own smile. Rufus chuckles and gives her a squeeze.
"Gracie, stay close," Dean says as they get to the door and he pulls out his gun. Gracilynn rolls her eyes, but moves to stand nearer her dad and uncle anyways, pulling out her own gun. The five hunters walk into the Cannery, searching for anything that is 'their kind of weird'. They come upon a door and Gracilynn realizes the four male hunters have boxed her in and rolls her eyes yet again. She looks back over at the door and sees something moving right before the door opens and Gwen steps out.
"Gwen?" Dean asks.
"Dean," Gwen replies. Samuel appears behind her in the other room and the next thing Gracilynn knows is her dad is walking determinedly to him, raises his gun and pointing it at him.
"Welcome to next time," Dean says vehemently. Sam rushes towards his brother and lowers Dean's gun arm.
"No, no, no, no! Hold on!" Sam exclaims.
"I said I'd kill him!" Dean shouts. Gracilynn bites her bottom lip, knowing her dad was dead serious (no pun intended). And hell, could you blame him. Samuel, their family, their own flesh and blood, sold them all out to Crowley.
"Look, just a second," Sam says. Rufus steps over to them.
"I take it you know each other," Rufus says.
"He's our grandfather," Dean says with disgust as Gracilynn comes over to stand next to her dad.
"Oh. Somebody needs a hug," Rufus cracks.
"Why are you here?" Bobby says, finding it hard to push down his anger, knowing what Samuel did to the Winchesters.
"We're working. You?" Samuel replies.
"None of your damn business!" Dean shouts angrily.
"Sam, Gracilynn, take Dean for a walk," Bobby says.
"You got to be kidding me," Dean says exasperatedly.
"Look, Dean, it's fine," Sam says, giving his niece a look which she returns as the two of them follow Dean to the door.
"How?" Dean asks, annoyed. The three of them walk out of the room. Dean turns to look at Sam. "What is wrong with you?"
"Look, maybe he knows something," Sam says.
"Yeah, like how to sell out your family," Gracilynn says sarcastically. Dean makes an 'exactly' gesture.
"You don't remember what he did. I do. Gracilynn does," Dean adds.
"I know. I'm not saying don't. I'm saying not yet," Sam clarifies. He gives Gracilynn a 'stay put' look before going back through the door and into the other room. Dean throws his hands up in exasperation.
"This is bull," Dean says, turning around. Gracilynn nods her head and peers through the window of the door, seeing the group of hunters talking inside. Gracilynn sighs. There is a noise behind her and she turns around to see her dad looking behind him as well.
"What was that?" Gracilynn asks, pulling out her gun.
"Don't know. Stay here," Dean says, pulling out his own gun and silently walking around the corner. Gracilynn looks around her but doesn't see anything out of the ordinary. Shortly after, Dean comes back around the corner.
"What was it?" Gracilynn asks, taking a few steps towards her dad.
"Didn't see anything," Dean says. The door opens and the two of them look to see Gwen walk in.
"Dean. Is it true?" Gwen asks.
"What?" Dean asks in turn.
"Did Samuel really try to…" Gwen begins.
"Kill me? Yes. He didn't even blink. Had Gracie and Sammy next in line. That's the guy you're rolling with," Dean finishes.
"He didn't tell me anything about that. I didn't know," Gwen replies.
"I know. Honestly, there's something I need to tell you," Dean says.
"What?" Gwen asks, taking a step forward. Gracilynn's eyes grow wide when Dean takes out his gun and shoots Gwen in the heart.
"Dad!" Gracilynn shouts, surprised at what she just saw her dad do. Dean turns to look at his daughter and moves to point the gun at her, Gracilynn's eyes getting bigger. "Dad?"
"Bye Gracie," Dean says and pulls the trigger.
AN: Okay, please don't hurt me :/ It just seemed like the perfect place to stop? Okay, so I guess there's no real reason except for it's been awhile since I've had a decent cliffhanger. Please review!
