Carnival of Death

Chapter four

"Let it go Sam." Dean said when he looked back at his brother and saw the look in his eyes. He knew Sam wanted nothing more then to finish his fight with Jack. Sam had always been the more sensitive of the two brothers and Dean knew it was eating him alive knowing that Jack was abusive to his girlfriend. Dean himself would like to pulverize the guy but he knew they were there to do a job and knew that was their main priority at the moment.

"Let's get out of here." Sam said getting up and heading out of the tent, unfortunately they had to walk by Jack to get back to their booths.

"Punk." Jack mumbled as Sam walked by.

"Hey buddy, anytime you want to step out back and finish it just let me know." Sam turned around, walked back, and stood in front of him.

"It's you who's going to be finished." Jack said once more making the slashing motion across his throat.

"Oh you think so." Sam glared at Jack. "If I see you hurting your girlfriend again…."

"And what are you going to do about it tough guy?"

Dean could tell Sam was just about ready to grab the guy so he pushed him forward away from the man. Sam hesitated and was temped to turn back to Jack but he kept walking, he knew if he got into a fight in front of the other employees the boss would find out and he'd be fired.

"Hope you have your life insurance paid up kid." Jack yelled to Sam's back. Sam ignored him but Dean on the other hand leaned down and looked into Jack's face.

"You go after my brother, or hurt him in anyway….. You'll answer to me." Dean stated simply then followed Sam out of the tent.

As they walked back to their booths Sam looked over at Dean.

"I can handle my own fights Dean."

"I know you can Sam, but he's the type that's not going to let it rest. Just keep an eye out for him and watch your back."

"I will….but you stay out of it. This doesn't concern you."

"Hey, if it concerns my family it concerns me."

"Dean I'm not in grade school, you don't have to come to my rescue every time a bully picks on me like you used to. I can fight my own battles; I've been doing it for years."

"Hey, I used to have fun saving your butt. Don't take that little pleasure away from me." Dean grinned as he reached up and pinched Sam's cheek.

"Ahhh shut up." Sam smiled back as he pushed Dean's hand away. He knew Dean loved playing the big brother role.

"Seriously Sam, watch your back. That guys a jerk and he might come after you."

"I will." Sam patted Dean on the back as they both headed off in opposite directions to their jobs.

Later that night

After the carnival closed down for the night they met back at the trailer.

"Learn anything new?" Dean asked.

"No, not really. I talked to a few people and no one seems to have any idea what happened to those people. The guy at a stand near mine said he remembered seeing the one girl playing some of the games in the area and going into the mirror house but didn't see anything suspicious. He said the only reason he remembered her was because she had long red hair and was pretty. How 'bout you, you find anything out?"

"Nada, it's like they vanished into thin air. Why don't we take a walk tonight and see it the EMF detector picks anything up?"

"Sounds good."

2:30 AM

They walked around the entire carnival keeping their eyes on the EMF detector. A couple of times the lights went off and the needle started spiking but it was hard to tell if it was some paranormal activity or from all the electrical equipment needed to run the carnival.

"What do you say we turn in? It's late and we got an early wakeup tomorrow to check out the rides and equipment." Dean said as he stopped in the middle of the runway.

"Might as well, we were over the area four times already and can't find anything unusual. The EMF is useless with all this equipment sucking up electricity."

They headed back to their trailer and turned in for the night.

The next morning

Sam got up first and headed down to the food tent. He picked up coffee, doughnuts, and a newspaper and headed back to their trailer. By the time he got there Dean was up and dressed. He handed him one of the coffees and put the doughnuts on the table then sat down on a chair and opened the paper. He read for awhile then looked at Dean.

"Another kid's gone missing." He said as he laid the paper down in front of Dean.
