Chapter 2
When the brothers reach their home, they saw that their dad was already there. His truck was park in the driveway with Caleb's car beside it. They found the two men in the kitchen right in the middle of a colorful conversation!
"But I'm telling John that we should wait a little more!" Voiced Caleb; trying to balance the argument his way.
"Why? We have him exactly where we want! We better act now before he realized something up and skip town!" Answered John, who looked very sure of himself.
"But we're still not 100 sure that it's him!" Replied Caleb, almost screaming, almost being not a lot exaggerated.
"Of course we're sure that it's him! We saw him in action!" Suddenly bust John before seeing his boys in the kitchen doorway.
"Hey boys! Where you're been? You're arriving later then usual it seems." John was trying to change the subject, obviously not wanting to worry his sons about the hunt.
"We gave a friend a lift home. His mum couldn't come like she usually does." Quickly answer Dean, shooting a glance at his brother.
Understanding quickly, Sam just nods to his father to support his brother.
John looks from Dean to Sam wondering if their playing a mind game with him but decide to let it pass for now.
Seeing John becoming suspicious, Caleb decides to come to the rescue of his favorite nephews. Using his favorite nickname for Dean (Deuce, devil in Latin), he call out for him.
"Deuce, I wanted to see you for a couple of days now. My car is making that weird noise and I was wondering if you could take a look?"
"Why didn't you come to the garage to see me? I'm there every day after school." Asked a curious Dean but very happy about the diversion. He had found a mechanic job at the local garage and was working there part time. He really like it; makes him learn how to take care of his baby at the same time. He had off tonight, having been working for almost ten days straight; one of the main mechanics as been sick so Dean had replaced him.
"It's just a little noise; I didn't want to bother you at work for that." Caleb replied, guiding Dean out of the kitchen into the living room of the small house they call home at the moment.
Sam was following them, having made a point a long time ago to never get involved in their friendly quarrels but enjoying them none of the less.
"You wanted me to look at it for free! That's more like it hey Damien!" Answer Dean, still smiling waiting for Caleb's reaction to the tease.
"Okay I admit it! Happy! Now, will you look at it already?" Continued Caleb; still trying to get the brothers away from John's inquiry.
John was looking at the scene folding before him with suspicion but happy that his boys were safely home. This job was really bothering him and he didn't like it when he didn't know the exact location of his family.
Finally getting outside by the cars, Caleb turned to look at Dean and decide to ask for the truth.
"So you want to tell me the real reason why you guys are an hour late?" Seriously ask Caleb, leaving no place for denying anything.
"What's with all these questions all of the sudden? We're not allowed to do a little detour on the way home? Help a friend in need?" Dean was getting pretty tired of all this protectiveness that dad and Caleb have for them since they got their jobs at that factory! Whatever they were hunting must be very nasty and out of their control for being so nervous all the time!
"Yes you are but you have to tell us in advance where you gonna be and when can we expect you guys home." Patiently answered Caleb, looking at both Dean and Sam; who stay very quiet in his corner.
"We didn't know we had to check in every second of the day! Since when do we have to?" Angrily snap Dean, placing himself between Sam and Caleb. He didn't want to involve Sam in this discussion.
"Don't get all work up Deuce! We're only worried about you guys, this job is getting very complicated and we don't want to add more worries to the mix that's all." Tried to patiently explain Caleb but he knew it was too late, they already put worries in the brother's minds.
Sam didn't like the turn of events in this conversation one bit! Here they were, hours earlier, shopping for Father's day gifts and now this was all going to Hell! This stupid new hunt was taking priorities in his family's mind all over again.
Seeing his little brother's reaction to the argument, Dean decides that a change of subject was in order, he could talk about all this later with Caleb.
"Why do I just take a look at your car? Don't want you to get stuck in the middle of nowhere with a car that wouldn't want to start won't we?" Simply tells Dean, making his way to Caleb's car.
"Huh?" A confused Caleb answered, not use to Dean dropping an argument.
"Your car? Is it really making a noise or you made that up?" Snap Dean, opening the hood of Caleb's car.
"No, it's making that weird noise when I turn the wheel too quickly; you know when I'm in a hurry to get somewhere." Explain Caleb, now understanding that Dean wanted to protect Sam like he always does. He saw Sam's look of fear disappeared the moment they all made their way to Caleb's car.
Apparently so did Dean, who was now looking under the hood of the car, smiling that the diversion worked.
"You mean all the time? You're always in a hurry!" Dean answers with a laugh.
Sam then join him and Dean started explaining to him all these weird wires and stuff that made a car work.
