Dean slammed the Impala door and started the old engine. He hardly waited for the other door to shut before he left the dirt parking lot, leaving a spray of rocks and dirty showering over the main road.
Jenn hung on tightly to the handle on the door as Dean sped down the dark roadway. It was now obvious to her that he was indeed pissed off. He sat next to her mumbling under his breath and flinging the car around the curves in a not so delicate fashion.
Now was not the time to be afraid to speak up. If he was mad at her it certainly wasn't justified in her eyes.
"Could you slow down?"
"Oh sure… I'll slow down… lets let the friends of the two piles of dust back there catch up!"
Jenn was flung into the passenger side door as the car took a sharp left down a back road she'd never been on before.
"Well chill out then!"
Dean pointed a finger in her face in warning.
"Don't you tell me to chill out! You shouldn't have done that back there!"
"What's that? Save your life?" She snipped back while shoving his hand out of her face.
"Oh ho sister! Don't for once thing that you saved my life! I had things under control and I told you not to get involved. You didn't listen to me and now not only am I on their hit list but you are too!"
"But they're dead Dean! How will others know who did it?" Jenn still knew very little about this supernatural stuff but at least after tonight she knew it wasn't nonsense.
"Vampires don't travel alone… they don't go into bars alone either. Two of them were killed but there was a whole goddamn table full of them that we left back there that saw the whole show!" He yelled back as he took an other sharp turn.
"Well then why didn't we get them all then!"
"We! Stop using that word! b I /b didn't get them because I am alone Jenn! I don't have my brother with me right now and I was not ready to take on all those vampires while still trying to protect YOU! This is why I didn't want you to come with me! I'm better on my own without someone else to protect!"
"But I can take care of myself!"
"NO you cant! You think you can after your stupid move tonight. So you killed a vampire. ONE! There are a whole lot more in this damn world then JUST ONE! You got lucky! You took the bastard by surprise… but this is foreign to you. You didn't even know they existed a half an hour ago! How can you protect your own damn self from something you know nothing about!"
"Then teach me…"
Dean glanced her way disbelieving what he just heard.
"What?"
"Teach me… teach me about them so I'll be better at protecting myself."
"Jennifer…"
"Dean… " She said cutting him off. "I'm going with you to help you find your brother. So you better just friggin teach me what I need to protected myself."
Dean turned to stare at her to see if she was actually serious. Her facial expression answered him and he put his eyes back on the road shaking his head.
"So after I'm done giving you a lecture on Vampires you think you'll still be safe with me?" He had stopped yelling now but his tone was still offending to her. It sounded like he actually didn't take her seriously. But she was as serious as she'd ever been.
"There are more unbelievable things out there that you wouldn't even dream of that I have to protect myself against EVERY DAY."
Dean reached over to the glove compartment and pulled out the journal again. This time he flung it onto Jenn's lap.
"There ya go… there's just a taste of the evils out there. How about you read that tonight and then you decide. Now that you KNOW I'm telling the truth about this shit that's in this world you'll take it seriously."
Jenn picked up the journal and gazed at it longingly. He WAS going to give her a chance… only… he believed she'd say no after reading what was between these bindings. Could it truly be that bad?
"Ok fine." She whispered now. The gears in her head were going at the ideas of what she'd find in this book.
"Fine… Good… Wonderful." He spat in a quieter tone. "Now… Where the HELL are we!"
Dean didn't know where the hell he was going in his haste to leave the Bar. He'd never seen these streets before but figured he'd find his way later once he felt safe enough to slow down. Now he was cruising down a street of Trees and farmland.
Jenn looked up and waited to answer him as she looked for a familiar landmark.
"Umm… We're just outside the city. If we follow this we'll come to an intersection. Take a right and we'll run into the exit for the interstate."
"Good… Then we'll find a place to stay once we're far enough away."
"A place to stay? We could have stayed at my place…"
"No… not safe now thanks to your amazing game of pool with the vampire."
"Oh… ok." She said looking back down at the journal. Well at least she was going to get her wish somewhat. She didn't have to leave Dean yet. But the task she was going to have once they got to a motel scared her a bit….
She had to learn just what Dean considered evil…
Sam ran a hand through his hair and sighed loudly. He had been looking through newspapers and searching the Internet for hours learning about Tracy's friends that had disappeared.
So far he came to the conclusion that they had all been leaving work to go home. And that it was late at night. He knew what his mission for the day was going to be seeing what routes each took home but he didn't have the energy or motivation to even get dressed.
And why should he? His brother was gone. That was the only thought that kept returning to him. It took him forever to read a simple news article because between all the lines he would read, "He's gone."
No it wasn't there…. But in his mind it was. And the last thing he wanted to do was converse with Tracy. She would look at him with pity and he didn't think he could handle that right now. Hell... Not ever.
No… he wanted to be alone. That was that.
Finally after a few minutes of reading over the notes he had written down through his research, Sam stood up and stretched his aching muscles. He had realized only an hour in early this morning that kitchen chairs were just no comfortable at all. Now his whole body was screaming at him for sitting for so long in one. But Sam would deal with the pain. Considering how much he was in emotionally right now. He could have a limb chopped off and not feel it.
Sam was almost done picking up the clutter he produced on the kitchen table when he heard Tracy come into the room.
"You want some coffee?" She questioned while sleepily reaching for the coffee pot.
"No thanks." Was her mumbled answer.
"Ok. So what are we going to do today?"
Sam stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her. Tracy was still messing around with the coffee pot unaware of his confused gaze. He expected the first thing she said to him to be the obvious "How are you". But it wasn't. She seemed to be acting like last night never happened.
"Umm… I was going to retrace their steps after they left work. Maybe there's a similar landmark or something."
Tracy turned around to face Sam and leaned on the counter. "Ok so when do we leave?"
"Uh… I was going to go alone… If you don't mind."
"Well actually I kinda do mind." She replied while crossing her arms in anger. "They were my friends. I want to help."
"I know they were but you really don't need to go with me and I prefer you don't."
Tracy glared at him for a few silent moments and then unlocked her crossed arms with an exasperated grunt.
"Fine… but I want to help you with this. I HAVE to help with this! So promise me you'll involve me."
"I promise. Just not today."
"Alright." She eyed him sideways before turning back to her coffee pot. "I'll see you later then. Oh… I left an extra key on the table by the door."
"Thanks… ya know… for trusting me and all."
"Well you are going to help me. Some people would call it blind faith. I don't really give a shit would it is but. I trust you for some reason so that should be enough for both of us shouldn't it?"
"Yea… Yea I suppose." Sam stuttered out. This woman seemed so cold and stern but a soft side hung lightly behind it all. It just barely came out to show itself to anyone.
Sam turned to walk out of the kitchen when he stopped in his tracks and looked back at the robed woman now grasping a mug of steaming liquid.
"Hey… uh… so why didn't you ask me how I was doing…? I mean. I'm glad you didn't but… I expected it to be the first thing I got this morning."
Tracy took a sip of her coffee and after swallowing gave Sam a small smile.
"If you wanted to talk about what happened earlier… about your brother…. About your feelings… you would do it on your own. When you are ready of course. There is no sense in dragging it out of you."
"Well… Thanks."
"You are welcome Sam… now be careful."
Sam nodded and strode his way out of the house and to his rental car. He had some work to do.
Dean wasn't expecting to drive all the way into daylight but a part of him was glad it seemed to take that long to find a motel with any vacancies. Daylight meant that even if the vampires somehow were trailing them their mission would have a minor glitch. Sunlight.
He was surprised that Jenn never fell asleep. She stayed awake for the going on 3-hour drive. Although they sat in silence it was still good to have someone else in the car with him even if it did make him miss his brother more and more.
He couldn't wait to find a motel and check in. More for the use of their telephone then their bed. With the events of the evening he hadn't had a chance to try calling his brother. That would be a major first step in finding him.
Finally Dean pulled the Impala off the interstate to a gas station and thankfully for Jenn, a bathroom.
"Thank god. My teeth were floating!" Jenn exclaimed with joy as she jumped out of the car and stretched.
"Your teeth were what?" Dean ask with amused curiosity as he too climbed out of the car and made his way over to start pumping gas.
"Ah its just something my mother use to say. Whenever I had to go to the bathroom when I was letter she'd ask me if my teeth were floating. It stuck with me."
Jenn gave him a smile that Dean found was slightly laced with Pain. Right then he wondered about her parents.
"Well anyways… I'm going to go in and buy something edible. Do you want anything?"
Dean flicked the little flap on the gas nozzle to pump it all on its own and leaned on the trunk of the car tiredly.
"Hmm… food sounds good. I suppose I haven't eaten real food in a while. Grab me anything that looks like a real meal. Not just chips."
"Ok can do." She replied and reached back into the Impala to get some money from her bag.
"Well… get chips too but real food also." He added sounding almost kid like at his giddiness for food. "Oh and a soda. Something clear."
"You got it." She said still rummaging in her bag. After not being able to easily pull out a $20 dollar bill, she pulled the whole bag out and sat it on the roof of the car to make things easier on herself. Her effort however caused a bit of a spill and a couple items fell to the gas-covered pavement.
Dean saw her struggling and walked around the car to help her pick up her things. One being a Cell phone.
"What a damn minute… you have a cell phone!"
"Uh… yea… why?"
"You FAILED to mention you had this after all those hours?" Dean started to look really mad and Jenn wondered just what the hell was wrong with him.
"Dean what's the matter? It's just a cell phone! Is it gonna attracted the vampires or some shit?" Jenn failed to lower her voice to a whispered tone and Dean glanced around to see if any paddy wagons were at the station gassing up.
"I can't believe you didn't mention you had one." He finally said in a MUCH calmer tone then two minutes ago. He realized this wasn't her fault.
"You didn't ask Dean."
"Yea I know. Do you mind? I'd like to try and call my brother."
"Oh my god! Of course go ahead! I'll just… go inside." Jenn now felt like utter crap! She never even thought of the phone or why Dean would have liked one. To call his brother.. damn she was an idiot.
As Jenn went into the mini mart attached to the gas station Dean started at the phone in his hand like it was a foreign object. This was it. He was going to talk to his brother and they would find each other again. Then things could start to get back to normal. Well… as normal as his life could possibly be anyways.
Dean may not have had his cell phone with all of his numbers in it but he didn't need it for this one. Dean's fingers ran over the buttons of the phone dialing the memorized number and briefly hesitated before pressing send.
He took in a deep breath as he heard the first ring echo through his ear.
"Come on… pick up Sammy." Dean whispered to himself while staring at nothing in front of him.
Finally in three rings Dean heard the other line pick up and his younger brothers soft voice filled his ears.
"Hello…"
Dean paused. The sadness that came through the phone in just one word was overpowering. He didn't want to think of the emotional pain his brother was in thinking that Dean was going to forever be in a coma. And damn it! He knew Sammy blamed himself for it! It was just in his nature.
Dean finally found his voice with his determination to get rid of his brother's pain.
"Sammy?"
Dean waited…. And waited… only there was no answer… and then…
OMG I know I SUCK how could I leave it there! I'm evil! I'm so evil! But this took me a long time to do today and I wanted to leave you wanting more! Now hopefully I'm not going to take freakin forever for MORE! LOL well its 4 am now.. time for bed! Enjoy and goodnight everyone!
