They stared at the dead shifter on the floor, their heavy breathing evening out, and their tensed muscles relaxing.
'Good riddance,' Sam said, breaking the silence. Dean slowly faced him.
'God Sammy,' he mumbled. 'I'm so sorry!'
He threw himself at Sam, grasping him in the biggest hug, tears forming in his eyes. Remembering the big bro image he had always kept, he released Sam and wiped the tears away. He studied his brother up and down, his eyes widening as the sight of his bruised, bloody body sunk in.
'Oh my god…I shot you!' he yelled. 'I shot my own brother! Who does that!'
'Hey, Dean, whoa,' Sam said. 'Calm down, it's ok; I'm ok. Consider it a payback from when I shot you with rock salt.'
'But these are real bullets!' he cried.
'Dean, we don't have time for this,' exclaimed Sam. 'We need to kill all the Shifters.'
'How are we supposed to do that?' Dean asked in disbelief. He looked around and his eye was caught on a bulge in Brooks jacket. He reached down and pulled out the object.
'Dad's journal,' he said with amazement. He flicked through it. 'Right here.' He pointed to a page. 'All we have to do is read this in a Shifter populated town and they'll all drop dead.'
'What about the locals?' Sam asked.
'They'll be unharmed.'
'Well, let's do this then,' said Sam, grabbing the book.
'FREEZE!' came a voice from behind. They slowly turned to face Roberts.
'Drop the gun and the book,' he ordered. Sam shrugged his shoulders at Dean, and they both dropped what they were holding. Roberts glanced at Brooks on the floor, and his eyes narrowed.
'Bad news boys,' he commented. 'You just pushed me to my limit.'
He raised the gun at Dean and fired.
All Sam saw was his brother hitting the floor before he lunged at Roberts and tackled him hard to the ground. They rolled on the floor, fighting for the gun, Roberts refusing to let go, Sam's weakness betraying him. All of a sudden Sam was flat on his back, Roberts staring down at him, gun aimed. Sam closed his eyes, not wanting to see the fatal blow. Time seemed to stand still, before a shot was fired.
