Half an hour later, Dean, Sam and John are sitting in Detective Goren's office. Eames is there. She smiles at them. Bobby looks at Sam. He's frowning.
"So what happened to you, Sam?" Sam looks at John. He nods.
"After we left her apartment, dad and I went to his friend's place. I laid down and the next thing I knew it was this afternoon. I didn't move." Alex looks at John and Dean.
"That's right. He passed out, and we couldn't wake him up. Isn't that right Uncle John?" John nods.
"I tried, also, because I was worried about him because he didn't open his eyes or move."
"So it's a safe bet he wasn't at the hospital today."
"No. He wasn't anywhere near it." Bobby smiles at them. He walks over to a TV and turns it on. He pushes a tape in. On the screen, they see John and Vala enter the hospital corridor and begin to walk. Alex looks at John.
"Mr. Winchester is there anything you'd like to tell us?" Sam stares at the screen then looks at John. "Well?"
"I took that woman to the hospital. I walked with her and she went in the room by herself. Twenty to twenty-five minutes later we left."
"You didn't see Nenet?"
"No. When she came out she said that Nenet had told her that she had drugged Sam." Bobby looks at them.
"What did she use?" He holds an evidence bag up. In it is an empty
bottle. "We found this. It had Trazadone in it."
"Yes. That was what I was told she used." Sam looks at Bobby then at John.
"So that let's me off the hook for her murder?"
"Yes." Bobby looks at John. "But that leaves us with two suspects. Your dad and the woman. Mr. Winchester where can we find this woman?"
"I don't know." Alex frown at him. "I really don't know."
"Let me get this straight: You picked her up and drove her to the hospital, waited for her, and then left with her. Then you drove away by yourself. Is that what happened?" He looks at John, an accusatory tone in his voice.
"Pretty much. Except I stopped and picked up food for us." Bobby nods and looks at Alex. "Sam, we need you to go with detective Eames to give your statement."
"Okay." His voice is meek and mild, submissive. Sam stands and Alex leads him out. Bobby looks at Dean and John. He smiles at them.
"Would you like some coffee?" Dean and John both nod. He walks out. Dean looks at his dad, but John shakes his head. After a few minutes Bobby walks in with three cups. "I forgot to ask you how you take your coffee. I brought in sugar and creamer." John and Dean both take a cup.
"I take it black." Dean takes a sip. John does the same.
"So are you going to arrest me?" Bobby looks surprised.
"I hadn't thought about it, John. When we finger printed the room we found some unknown ones but looking at your hands they're too small to be yours. The guys figured they were female."
"So after Sam gives his statement, we're free to go?"
"Yes." A half an hour later, Sam walks in. John looks at him and smiles. John and Dean stand. All three walk out. Sam looks at Dean and John. They walk into the parking lot and get into John's truck.
"What's going on?" John starts the truck and they drive away.
"We're free to go. Dean, keep an eye out behind us. I have a feeling that we'll have a tail very soon." Dean is watching out the side mirror. He sees a car three cars behind them. He looks at John.
"Hey, Dad. We have one. Three behind." John nods and looks around. He sees a market and pulls in. Dean and Sam look at him as he gets out and follow him, walking in behind John. Sam stops to look at some magazines when his cell rings. He looks at the caller ID.
"Dude, you see anyone?" Sam looks up.
"Yeah. They're parked by the truck. Two in the front. So, how are we getting out of here?"
"I don't know. I think Dad's got a plan. I'll get back to you." They hang up. Sam frowns and goes back to looking at magazines. He walks over to the candy and his cell phone rings. "Sam, come back to the cooler." They hang up and Sam walks to the back. John hands the keys to Dean.
"Thanks." Sam looks at John. "Dad's going out the back while we go out the front." Sam nods. Dean takes the food. They walk up to the counter and pay for it. They walk out front and get in the truck. They start it up and drive away. Sam is looking in the mirror. He sees the car as it pulls out behind them.
"We've got company. So what's the plan?"
"We're going home." He replies, cocky. Sam stares at him. "No, I'm not crazy. This is what Dad said to do. He has a plan. He said to drive back to the house but before we get there our friends will be gone." Suddenly, Dean pulls the truck over to the shoulder and stops. He gets our and Sam follows. Dean takes out a small flashlight. He gets down on his knees and begins looking under the truck. Sam looks at him.
"Dude, give me a hand." Sam kneels on the other side. "Dad said to keep them here as long as possible." He smiles at Sam, but Sam frowns.
"Sammy, you're the quieter one. Besides you're the one who messed with Caleb's car." He reminded his little brother.
Sam grins, remembering the incident. "Yeah. I paid for that one. Extra training and Dad gave me dirty looks for almost a week."
"Well, the dirty looks were for Caleb's benefit. He always told me I'd better not make you mad." They both smile. They see two pairs of shoes. Dean looks at Sam and he nods. The two men walk up to Dean.
"You got a problem?" Dean looks at them and shrugs.
"It started running funny so I decided to check it out." They look around. "What?"
"Where's the other guy?" Dean looks around.
"He said he needed a few minutes alone." Dean smiles and returns to the truck. "Son of a bitch! I don't believe this." The two men kneel beside him. They stare at a small box.
"What is it?" Dean looks at them and frowns.
"It's a tracking box. Someone is going to a lot of trouble to keep an eye on where my uncle is going." Sam walks up and taps Dean on the shoulder. Dean looks at him.
"What's wrong."
"Someone put a tracking box on Uncle John's truck." Sam stares at him then kneels and looks for himself.
"Who would do this?" He stands and looks around. "I guess I'd better talk to my dad and let him know." He looks at Dean. "You ready?"
Dean kneels down and removes the box. He places it in front of the back tire. He looks at the two men and smiles.
"Thanks for stopping, but I think we've got it now." They get into the truck. Dean starts it up and drives away. He looks at Sam. "No problems?"
"No." They smile. The two men walk back to their car and start to get in. One of the men looks at the tires. "Dammit!" The other one looks. They stare at two flat tires.
"We'll just..." They bend down. "I don't believe this. What happened to the valve stems?" They stare at each other.
Dean and Sam are still laughing as they drive. They pull in front of the house and turn off the truck. They get out and walk tot he house. Sam looks at Dean.
"Where's Dad? Did he come back here?"
"Yeah. He wanted to get back here and keep an eye on Vala. I just hope that he's all right." Sam looks at him.
"Dean, do you think she'll hurt him?"
"No. She'll keep him alive until she gets what she wants."
"Which is me." Dean nods. He opens the door and they walk in. They looks around. "I'm going to get something to eat."
"Sure." Sam walks into the kitchen as Dean looks around. He walks to the basement door. He opens it and walks down the stairs. He stops at the bottom and stares. John is sitting in a chair. He's bound and gagged. Vala is sitting on his right and smiling.
"Hello, Dean. I'm glad you made it back. Where's Sam?" Dean stares at her. He sees a man there.
"He's here to insure that you cooperate fully."
"What do you want from me?"
"Nothing. We just need to make sure Sam will listen to me." The man grabs him. He sits Dean in a chair and handcuffs his hands behind him. "Now where is Sam?"
"I don't know."
