The worst part was, John had a pretty good idea about where the Colt was.
"If you know which hunter has it, let's go to them and get it." Sam said, straightening up and rolling his shoulders back. "Lets go now."
John didn't move, staring at him apprehensively. "Are you going to kill them?"
"If they don't give it to me within ten seconds of my asking, yes." Sam said with a nod. "And I have a feeling that they won't just give it up."
"You can't just kill them." John stressed to him. "You can't just go around killing anyone that disagrees with you."
Sam just shot him an unamused look. "And if this hunter being dead or alive is what stands between you and my mom meeting, are you still going to advocate for them to live?"
John flinched at that, staring at Sam a bit helplessly. He knew that answer, he knew it down to his bones. But saying it loud? Agreeing with Sam?
That was crossing a line that he wasn't sure that he was ready to cross. And if he crossed that, he wasn't sure that he could easily come back from it.
"By the way, I see the way you look at me." Sam told him. "I see the disdain in your eyes and I know you're torn, why I don't know and don't care. I've done, what you consider, horrible things. I've killed and tortured and maimed, and I don't plan on stopping. Because everything I do?" he disappeared and suddenly reappeared in front of John, leaning in close to him and letting his eyes flick to black making John tense up, pushing down his instinct to strike back against him.
"Everything I do is for my family." Sam told him. "I don't care what I have to do or who I have to hurt, if it means that my family will be safe? I'll do it all with a smile on my face."
Before John could even blink Sam disappeared and reappeared against the wall next to the door.
"That's the difference between you and me, I'm willing to do anything for my family. You'll toss them into the wild." Sam told him, crossing his arms over his chest.
John refused to flinch back at his words. "What do I have to do to show you that I regret that? That I would do anything to just...not even be a family again but get into your good graces?"
"I really don't think there's anything you can do." Sam told him honestly. "Dean wants you dead and so do I. Not much you can do to change our minds."
"You don't even know me." John shot at him. "You weren't even born when everything happened."
"And yet everything I've said you haven't denied, meaning that it's true." Sam shot back at him. "Now, back to the Colt."
John breathed out slowly. "The hunter who has it isn't going to just hand it over-"
"Hence killing him and taking the Colt."
"-we're not killing him."
Sam raised an eyebrow at him. "Alright, so we'll play by your rules. How are we going to get the Colt from him?"
"Well I don't recommend stealing because he'll have his place trapped to high hell." John said. "So that leaves talking to him."
"Talking. Nice." Sam said, rolling his eyes. "And if he says no, regardless of what you say?"
"We'll figure it out when it happens." John told him, not sure himself. He had a feeling Elkins was going to say no, if he would even talk to him at all. "But killing him is not on the table."
Sam just smirked at him and John had a sinking feeling that the kid wasn't going to listen to him.
"So which hunter is it?" Sam asked. "I can get there immediately."
"How about I go to sleep and go out first thing in the morning." John retorted. "Because I don't know about you, but I need to go to sleep for at least four hours."
Sam snorted at that, muttering something under his breath about humans. He looked around the room, moving his jaw from side to side as he thought.
"Fine." he said, pushing away from the wall. "Have your sleep, Sleeping Beauty. But then you go to that hunter and I'll meet you there."
"And how will you know where to go?" John asked.
Sam just smirked once more. "How do you think I keep finding you?" he asked before he disappeared, leaving John alone in the room once more, lost in his thoughts.
