Rocky Road

I could hear the door open and close in my sleep so I put myself on high alert, ready to take out whoever was in this room with me. I felt the bed dip around me and I was about to deck whoever was trying to lay on top of me, until I felt someone kiss my ear. "Morning, Dean." I practically melted into the bed at the sound of Cara's voice floating through my ear. I groaned and sat up as I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. "Coffee?" I closed one eye and took the coffee out of Cara's hand. I noticed that Cara didn't have one but I wasn't going to ask until after I had my first sip. I drank some of the coffee and slid to the end of the bed, dangling my legs over it.

"No coffee for you?"

"Me? No, I hate the stuff." I looked Cara over and felt myself get hard at seeing her wear a black tank top, her leather jacket, tight jeans and combat boots. "You going to stop staring, Dean?" I looked up at her face and she winked at me. I simply shook my head and continued to drink my coffee. "Dean, could you put your clothes on please?"

"That's funny. I've never had a woman tell me to put my clothes on before."

"Did you forget your brother is missing?"

"No." I looked down at the ground, reliving the nightmare I had last night about Sam. I watched Cara sit down next to me but I didn't take my eyes off the coffee cup in my hand.

"You have a nightmare about him?" I nodded. "Well, get dressed and we'll go find him. Then, we'll kill whatever took him or kick the ass of whoever took him." I smiled as Cara pressed a kiss to my forehead before standing up. "Come on, I'll start your Impala up for you." I looked up at her as she dangled my keys in front of her face. She left to start my car for me so I decided to get dressed. I was brushing my teeth when Cara came back in the room. She propped herself up against the door and smiled at me as I finished brushing my teeth. I threw everything in my bag and started to lace up my boots. I could get used to Cara watching over me. It brought a safe feeling back to me that I had lost when Dad took off. I shook that feeling off and stood up when I finished lacing my boot. "Ready?" I smiled and nodded at Cara and we left the room after we checked to make sure we had everything.

"Do you know where the sheriff's office is?"

"Yeah. I drove around looking for it while you were still asleep." How long has she been awake and how was she not groggy without coffee? "Follow me, Dean." I nodded and I followed Cara to the sheriff's office. We parked and I went in first, with Cara not far behind. I approached the sheriff's desk and smiled when the officer behind the desk smiled at me. I handed her my police badge and she scanned it over.

"So what can we do for you, Officer Washington?" Alright, time to lie.

"I'm working a missing persons. This is Krista, she was the last person to see the guy I'm looking for." I nodded towards Cara and she smiled and waved at the officer. How can she be so cute at a time like this?

"I didn't know the Jenkins case was being covered by the state police."

"Uh, no. No, it's someone else. Actually, it's my cousin. We were having a few last night at this bar down by the highway. I haven't seen him since."

"Does your cousin have a drinking problem?" I had to restrain myself and not punch this woman in this face for insinuating Sam had a drinking problem.

"Sam? Two beers and he's doing karaoke. No, he wasn't drunk. He was taken. She can vouch for me." Cara just nodded.

"It's nothing against you but witness statements can be unreliable. How do I know she wasn't drunk at the time?" The officer sighed and I heard Cara stop pacing behind me. "Alright. What's his name?"

"Winchester. Sam Winchester." I followed the officer behind the counter where her computer was while Cara stayed on the other side, watching my every move. I motioned for her to calm down but she just shook her head at me.

"Like the rifle?"

"Like the rifle." I sat down and watched the officer type in Sam's name and watched the screen for anything important.

"Samuel Winchester. So you know that his brother Dean Winchester died in St. Louis." Not really dead but she didn't need to know that. I shifted uncomfortably in the chair as she continued. "Suspected of murder."

"Yeah, Dean. Kind of the black sheep of the family. Handsome, though." I heard Cara sneeze on the other side of the counter and when I looked at her, she gave me that 'really' look. "Bless you, Krista." I turned my attention back to the officer who didn't look amused with my 'handsome' comment. She continued to search but he screen didn't show anything.

"Well, he's not showing up in any current field reports."

"Oh I already have a lead. I saw a surveillance camera out by the highway."

"Uh huh. County traffic cam."

"Right. I'm thinking the camera would pick up whatever took him." The officer gave me a look when I said 'whatever' instead of whoever. "Well, whoever."

"Well, I have access to the traffic cam footage at the county works department but, well, in the meantime let's do this the right way. Why don't you fill out a missing persons report and sit tight over with your lady friend." She handed me the clipboard and I was about out of patience.

"Officer, look, uh, he's family. I kinda look out for the kid. You gotta let me go with you." She smiled at me, sort of, but I knew there wasn't going to be a good answer.

"I'm sorry. I can't do that."

"Well, tell me something. Your county has its fair share of missing persons. Any of them come back?" She grimaced at me and that answered my question. "Sam's my responsibility and he's coming back. I'm bringing him back."
