"Come on. We gotta him inside," John said. Dean helped his father carry the mysterious man into their hotel room.
"Jess. Jess," he murmured as they placed him on the bed. It was then that Dean noticed the scorch mark on his leg.
"Dad, look," he said.
"We gotta clean it," John stated. He got out some cleaning supplies and placed the holy water on the boy's leg. He winced.
"No, please! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to leave!" he exclaimed.
"What?" Dean asked, looking at his father in confusion.
"He must be delirious," John said. He applied the holy water again and the boy let out another cry and moved as if trying to escape.
"Dean, hold him," John ordered. Dean did so.
"Easy, kid. Easy. We're just tryin' to help," he soothed.
"Please. Please. Don't hurt her. Don't take her. Please. Take it out on me, not her," he said pleadingly.
"Dad, I don't understand. What's he saying?" Dean wondered.
"I don't know," John answered, shaking his head. He was as confused as his son. He didn't understand what this kid was saying. And where had these scorch marks come from? Finally, the first aid was done. John and Dean stood in a corner and watched as the kid carefully turned on the bed.
"Dad, what do you think happened to him?" Dean asked.
"I honestly don't know, son. He's obviously gone through something," John replied.
"What do you think he meant 'Take it out on me'? Think he was tryin' to protect someone?" Dean queried.
"Possibly," John answered. The hunters watched as the boy finally fell asleep.
