Secrets and Lies, Sam Searches, part 2

By the time he caught up the the semi-rig, it had turned in at the local hospital. Sam held back as he watched the hospital staff wrestle with a struggling form wrapped in a blanket to get him onto a gurney. He debating rushing in when the police arrived. With that development, he pulled away opting for getting cleaned up so as not to arouse any suspicions. Sam did not want the cops questioning him about the blood on him or the car, that would not help him get to Dean. 'hell, they might even arrest me'

When Sam had finished cleaning himself and the Impala, he could not believe the amount of blood he found in and on the car, the sun had been up for almost an hour. One of the more disturbing things he found was that he had Dean's ring on his finger and necklace around his neck, his brother never took either off, ever. He wracked his brain and still could not recall anything after he drifted off to sleep on the road yesterday. Worry was his ever present companion. Part of him wished maybe it was not his older brother at that hospital, part of him hoped it was. But the biggest part hoped that Dean was back in the desert, pissed off that Sam drove off without him, waiting for his little brother to pick him up.

The police had gone from the hospital when Sam arrived. He parked his brother's car in the back, went in the emergency room entrance, then found the nurse on duty. "I am looking for my brother, he might have been brought in in the last few hours," inquired Sam, his eyes anxoius and voice concerned. Need poured out of him in waves. 'please let it be dean, please'

"Well, let's see. Only one man has been brought in, a car accident. Oh, I wish the night nurse would not abberviate. A trucker found him and brought him in," the duty nurse answered seeing the little-boy-lost look on the young man in front of her.

Frowning, "A car accident? Are you sure?" Sam wrinkled his brow in confusion, hope starting to crumble. 'could that be what happened? an accident? but the car is not damaged'

"Yes, as far as I can interpret from the notes in the file. I was not on duty when he was brought in, mind you, that would have been Helan Boien, the night nurse. His name is Sam, is that your brother?" she asked in a caring tone, seeing the loss in the young man's eyes.

"I'm Sam, my brother's name is Dean," in a daze, he turned to leave. 'its not him, its not my brother, i have wasted so much time.' Dejected, Sam stumbled down the stairs of the hospital, 'i left him in the desert, hurt and alone' Running to the car, he jumped in and headed back the way he came in, 'i know you will be pissed, but i am coming back for you, don't worry dean' Hope renewed itself as Sam speed down the highway.
