CHAPTER 7
"Both of you alright ?" Sam asked worriedly to the kids. He was still carrying Ryan and rubbing his back. The kid got pretty scared and was crying hard. Sam was glad that they were watching the kids otherwise anything could have happened.
"What are you both doing here ?" Collin finally managed to make his mouth work enough to ask that question.
Sam looked at Dean who nodded at him and then Sam said , "We were worried about you so we were keeping an eye on you in case you needed us. I guess , it was the right thing to do."
"Cole , you alright ?" Ryan asked looking tearfully at his brother. He raised his arms towards Collin so Sam put him down. Ryan ran towards his brother and Collin hugged him tight.
"I am alright , kiddo." Collin said rubbing Ryan's back.
"I guess, we should all go back to our motel." Dean said looking at the kids.
"No, we would manage something. Thank you for what you both did. But we can't go with you." Collin said shaking his head. He can't go with the Winchester brothers just like that. Sure , he had no money , no place but still he don't trust these men. He knew Dean and Sam wanted to help him but why. Why were they helping him and his brother ?
"Come on, kid. Where would you go ?" Sam said looking at Collin. Collin didn't reply , he was resolutely avoiding looking at Dean and Sam.
"Alright , tell us the place where you and Ryan would stay. And also how would you manage to eat ? After that I promise, me and Sam wouldn't bother you." Dean said looking at Collin. He knew Collin wouldn't have any answer to that. The kids were right not to trust them, they didn't know eachother but these kids need someone to look after them. And Dean and Sam would damn well make sure that both the kids are looked after.
"I don't know." Collin said and finally looked at Dean and then at Sam.
"Then how about you live with us ?" Sam asked softly.
"I don't understand that why are you both doing this ?" Collin asked in frustration. He was tired of all of this. Everyone he ever met in life were selfish and mean. And now these two who he had met only a few hours ago were behaving as if they really cared about him and Ryan. Why can't he and his brother just get to live as normal kids ? The kids who don't have to worry about food , shelter and other things on a daily basis. Does god hate him and his brother that much ?
"I know you don't believe us but we care about you and your brother." Dean said and Collin and Ryan looked in shock at Dean.
Sam also nodded when both the kids looked at him. His heart broke when he looked at the shocked expressions on both the kids. 'Is it really hard for them to believe that someone cares about them ?' Sam thought sadly.
"Now , why don't we go. It looks like its about to rain at any moment." Dean said.
Collin looked at the dark clouds gathering in the sky. Where would he and his brother go in such a weather ? Right , they don't have anywhere to go. So he finally nodded.
The Winchester brothers lead the way to the impala with the kids following slowly behind.

"We will stop at the diner near the motel for some breakfast." Dean said and Sam nodded. The kids were huddled in the backseat of the Impala. Dean parked the car in the parking lot of the diner. And together they all made their way inside.
An elderly waitress showed them their seats. "Let me know when you are ready to order." She said and made her way towards the other customers.
"Well , I would like a bacon cheeseburger with a side of fries." Dean said without even opening the menu.
"Dean you should watch your cholesterol , man." Sam said shaking his head at his brother. Dean eats way too fried food.
"I am watching it, go up." Dean replied with a smile.
Sam rolled his eyes at his brother. "I would like a kale salad."
"What about you kids ?" Dean asked the kids.
Collin was looking at the menu frowning. He wasn't looking at the dishes but at their prices. He would order the dish which has the lowest price.
Ryan nudged his brother's shoulder. He pointed at chocolate pancakes in the menu and looked at Collin. Collin looked at the price of the pancakes frowning.
Sam had noticed Ryan pointing at pancakes. He looked at Dean and saw Dean was watching Collin intently. Dean looked at him and he realised he and his brother were thinking the same thing that Collin wasn't looking at the dishes in the menu but at their prices. After so many years of being 24/7 with eachother , Dean and Sam didn't need words to communicate. They could just look at eachother and tell what the other one was thinking. That was what makes them excellent partners in hunting.
"Why don't you both have some chocolate pancakes ?" Sam said.
"And I think milkshakes too." Dean said.
"Umm.." Collin was about to say something but Dean cut him off by calling the waitress and ordering the food.
When the food arrived , Ryan ate with such an enthusiasm that brought a smile each on Dean and Sam's faces. Collin ate too but a little slowly.
"This strawberry milkshake is awesome , Cole." Ryan whispered to his brother smiling. His little face was covered in a milk moustache.
Collin smiled at his brother. Really the pancakes and milkshake were awesome. But now he owed more to the Winchesters. Freaking great ! They said that they care about him and his brother. But why would they care about them. Collin wondered the same thing about hundredth time that morning.
The Winchesters paid for the food and they all ran towards the impala to get to the motel as soon as they could. The rain was pouring steadily and it looked like it wouldn't stop for a few hours atleast.
