Chapter 4:

John


John Winchester pulled into the school parking lot. He saw Dean's Impala parked across the street, but no Sam. He pulled out his cell and already had his finger on the green 'Send' button, when Dean appeared from beside the school.

"Dad!" Dean said rushing to him. "Dad, I can't find him. He's not here. I know he's not."

"Then where?" Dean looked down. "Where else would he go? We've been here for almost three months, Dean. He would know some places to go."

"Library?" Dean said hopefully. John gave him a questioning look.

"No, it's getting pretty late. He's only twelve, Dean. They would notice a kid walking in at that dark. Besides, don't they close things early here on Fridays?" Dean nodded. It was already five in the afternoon and it was growing dark. By six, all the street lights would be on and the monsters would be out.

"Well, I'll go look there. You go wherever else you can think. Parks, friends' houses. I'll drive around and head back home." Dean nodded and started to walk towards his car. "Dean, when you find him, you grab him and you get him back home, any means necessary. I have to continue the hunt today. So, at nine, I have to go. You understand?" John said. The concern was evident in his voice and Dean nodded. He knew his father wanted to find Sam almost as badly as Dean did, but he also knew that the elder had responsibilities to other people. To keep them Alive.

"Yes sir." Dean said. He rushed to his car and both men pealed out of the parking lot at the same time in opposite directions.

Dean winced at the thought that his father had just given him the permission to hit his brother in order to get him back home. He really hoped Sam wouldn't make him resort to that.


Sam was pulled upright. His bag fell to the floor as he was abruptly lifted to his feet. Why had he agreed to this? What had made him think that this would help?
