Prompt: Sam, Dean & Henricksen, caught
The brothers are tried separately. Convicted apart. Sent to prisons on opposite sides of the country, just in case.
Victor attends both trials and escorts both men to their new homes, what should be their final resting places.
Dean gets the death penalty. Sam gets life in solitary.
As Victor watches the guards lead the brothers down the halls, Dean smirks over his shoulder and Sam doesn't look back.
A month later—a goddamned month—both brothers somehow escape.
Victor sleeps with a gun under his pillow and stashes a weapon in every room, but he knows it won't matter. Before, when he hunted them, the Winchesters underestimated him. They won't make that mistake again, and he'll be dead soon, since he's the only man who ever caught them.
All the greatest predators hate being caged.
