Chapter 35
Sam and Dean were in the motel, sitting on the table. Madie was seating in one of the beds, gripping her necklace. She had lost count of the time that had passed ever since this whole situation started. She knew that it was the second night. The fluctuations in her emotions had drained her, at one second she was a scared girl, in the other a mother in a quest for her children.
" You should sleep. " She heard Dean say.
" So should the two of you. And yet, here we all are. Awake. "
" You need it more, with all the pacing and worrying. You're running on fumes. "
" You're worrying too, can you sleep? Because I don't think I can. Not until I can lie down holding Mandy and baby Bobby. "
" Just try. You won't be doing them any favors by exhausting yourself. You need to rest. "
She sighed dramatically and Dean knew he won that debate. She took her shoes out, laid down, looking at the ceiling. It took 20 minutes, but exhaustion won and she fell asleep.
The brothers kept siting in silence.
" You should sleep too, Dean. "
" I'm fine Sam. "
" I got some shut eye in the car, you didn't. You need to rest. Madie and the kids need us sharp for this. We're waiting for the feds to find some clue anyway, and when they do Bobby will call us. "
" I'll sleep if you sleep. "
Sam sighed, sometimes his brother could be very childish.
" Fine. I'll sleep too. "
Before Sam could say anything else his brother stood up.
" I got the other bed. You fit your gigantic legs on the couch. "
Childish, definitely childish.
After a couple of hours of sleep, Dean woke. It took a moment to find out the reason, then he heard Madie. She was trashing and muttering something. He stood up and went to the other bed. He placed his hand on her shoulder and shook her gently. Speaking softly.
" Hey, Madie, it's okay. It's just a bad dream. It's okay. " He could see tears in her eyes. After a couple of minutes she woke up with a startle, but the tears didn't stop. " It's okay. It's going to be fine. We'll get them back. "
He sat on her bed comforting her, stroking her hair, she hugged him, burying her face in him, tears soaking his shirt.
In the morning, Sam woke when his phone rang.
" Yeah?...Oh Hey Bobby...alright...okay see you there. "
He stood from the couch stretching, he saw that Dean was on Madie's bed, leaning against the bed's headboard, one arm around her. Madie was hugging him, her face buried in his side.
Sam walked over to him and shook him awake.
" Bobby arrived, will meet us at a diner. Should we wake her? " He said in a low tone.
" Let her sleep, she needs it. "
It took Dean some maneuvering to leave the bed without waking Madie. They dressed and left, leaving Madie asleep on the bed.
They got on the car and drove off. They did not see the man watching from inside a car on the other side of the street.
After the impala was out of sight, the man drove into the motel's parking lot, he parked in front of their room. He got out of the car and went to the door. He picked the lock, as silently as he could and got in.
He saw her sleeping in the bed, she always looked beautiful sleeping. He could barely believe she was so close, after all this time. He had hit the jackpot when those Navy cops called, giving him a clue to her location.
At first, he was angry at her for leaving him. But know, he knew, he knew that those two men were the ones that kept them apart.
Not that it mattered now. She was here, and he was here. And he would make sure they would be together.
He walked to her, he leaned and stroke her hair, she didn't wake up.
" Hey darling. Time to wake up. " He said in a sweet voice.
She stirred and opened her eyes.
" Dean? Is morning already? "
" Dean! Is that his name? "
She froze and slowly looked at him, eyes wide in terror.
" Johnathan? " Her voice was barely a whisper.
" Yes, darling it's me. You don't have to worry, they're gone. "
" Gone? " She was scared.
" Yes. But they could come back any minute now. So we should go. "
" Where are Amanda and Robert? "
" They're safe, waiting for us. "
" You will take me to them? "
" Yes, of course. You will all be with me, where you belong. "
She kept looking around, searching for something.
" What are you looking for? "
" Nothing. Nervous. "
" There's no reason to be. You're with me. Come. "
He took back a step and she sat up. She turned her back to him, leaned forward and put her shoes on. He started walking towards the door his back turned to her. She quickly grabbed her phone and put it on her back pocket.
She grabbed her coat, followed him out of the room and into his car. When she sat, he pulled her into a kiss, she managed not to cringe at the contact.
" I missed you darling. "
" I... I missed you too, Johnathan. "
He drove off, while she used her coat to block his view of her hand, that was calling one of Dean's phones, she placed her finger on the speaker, so that Dean could listened to her, but she would not listen to him.
