AN: To everyone who'll be celebrating Halloween, enjoy!

Chapter 38

Dean parked the Impala in front of the house noting his father's truck as well as Bobby's truck was parked outside. It seemed that Joshua and Caleb were still not back.

He made his way up to the front door and was just about to enter when he heard voices coming from the basement. Dean found that strange since the side door was normally kept closed and you could only gain entry to the basement through the kitchen.

Making his way over to the side door Dean could clearly hear the voices drifting up from down stairs. Since the basement door can only be opened from the inside he made his way back to the front door to go and check what was going on.

Dean never understood what made him stop and listen before entering. Under any other circumstance he would have kept on walking, climbing down the stairs until he would have reached the bottom.

"So Winchester why are you so high and mighty towards me? You killed my sons, fifteen years ago you killed my wife and now you took away my sons. I will kill you for all the suffering you caused me over the years."

Dean could clearly hear the words spoken by the unknown person. 'Dad must have found Milton Rachford. It is strange for dad to bring him to the house.' Dean was still contemplating the situation when he heard his father spoke up.

"You and your sons kidnapped and tortured my baby boy because I helped a spirit stuck in between two worlds out of her misery; which you caused. How dare you now accuse me or my family in killing your sons? The police told you, Garry committed suicide and hell, we were not even there when Brad got his brains blown out!" John was screaming out the words to the man seated in front of him, bonded to the chair.

They have been looking for Milton Rachford since they first realized that he was behind Sam's abduction. Now he was finally in their hands. Revenge was going to be sweet.

Dean started moving down the stairs again when he was once again stopped by Rachford's words. "I don't believe you for one moment John Winchester. How could anyone believe anything you say? You sold your unborn son's soul to a demon for the life of your other son and you want me to believe that you didn't kill my boys. Never, I tell you never!"

Dean waited for his father to say that Rachford was talking crap but the words never left John's mouth. Instead Dean heard his father react in a totally unexpected way. "How do you know about that, who told you?"

"John, what's he talking about?" Dean heard Bobby asking, aware of the fact that the old hunter was also stunned about the revelation.

"Nothing Bobby. This is not the time to discuss that matter. It is time Mr. Rachford suffered for what his boys did to my son." John tried to steer the conversation away. He was rocked to his core. He didn't know how Milton Rachford found out about that terrible deal, but that information would never leave this basement.

"Not the time Johnny boy? Like it was not the time for my boys to die at your hands! Are you know afraid of what you have done or are you now no longer under the protection of that demon, come Johnny tell us, how did you get over yourself to sell your son's soul to a demon?" Rachford knew he was baiting the older Winchester but he was enjoying it. Since he had nothing to live for anymore, he had all the time in the world to cause John Winchester pain. He knew he would not see the light of day again, but he already made his peace. His sons failed him by not killing Sam Winchester, but just, maybe just he would be able to bring the great John Winchester to his knees, to drive him so far over the edge that the man would take his own life.

Dean heard enough. He made his way down slowly to the bottom of the stairs. When the last stair creaked under his foot his father looked up. "Dean? What are you doing here, is everything okay with Sam?" John started walking over to where Dean was standing but stop in his tracks when Dean addressed him. "Is it true dad, did you sell my soul or Sam's soul to a demon?"

"Dean please, not now. I can explain. Just don't believe everything you hear out of this man's mouth. Give me an opportunity to explain. That is all that I ask of you."

Dean wanted to reply but was stopped by Rachford's next statement. "Your sons don't know, do they? Well Dean, let me tell you a quick story. Your daddy here not only sold your baby brother's soul to a demon for your life but that demon bled into Sam's mouth. Sam's tainted, with demon blood. That is one of the reasons I had no problem in killing Sam Winchester, he is a freak, a half demon. He doesn't deserve to walk this earth."

"Shut up, just shut up! Who the fucking hell do you think you are in speaking about my brother in that way? You don't even know Sam. He would never do something to hurt another person so just shut your freaking trap!" Dean's fist collided with the side of Rachford's face sending the man and chair flying backwards.

Bobby grabbed hold of Dean, pulling him away from the man sprawled on the floor. "Come boy, let's take this conversation up stairs. Come John." Bobby barked out before leading Dean out of the basement.

"Dean, I need you to trust me, just for a little while longer. I promise you I will tell you everything but just not now." John didn't know what to do next. He needed to speak to Bobby in private before reaching a decision. He didn't even know if he would survive the conversation with Bobby, he just knew that Bobby would be the only man to help him out of this mess.

"No dad, I can't. I need to know now what that man was talking about. Hell dad, we've been fighting evil for the past seventeen years and now it sounded to me like you brought this onto your own family. Did mom know dad, was she part of this deal?"

When John bowed his head, Dean had his answer. "Bobby, I need to get out of here, please look after Sammy for me. I can't stay here. I will be back as soon as I can, please Bobby take care of Sam." Dean didn't look at his father once. He turned around and headed out to the Impala before getting in and speeding off. He didn't even hear his father or Bobby call after him. For the first time in his life Dean left his baby brother alone. Dean felt dead inside.

AN: So, what do you think? Please let me know. Will see you next Sunday, same place but never sure about the time.
