Then
.........
"So , what happened ? " asked Bobby trying to distract Dean and himself for some minutes .
"Long story ." Dean sighed .
"We've long time ." said Bobby .
"What ? No sleep tonight ? But I wanna sleep . Tomorrow we're gonna have lots of things to do ." Dean said innocently .
Bobby looked into the first aid kit and said "I gotta take care of this wound and you know it . You can sleep after that .So , just define it as long as I'm working on you ."
Now
.........
"That sounds better , procedural story ." Dean grinned but it faded instantly when he started to think about their last day . " It should have been a ghost . I mean every omens were saying that we're facing a ghost , just that easy . But it happened to be a witch instead ."
***** a few hours earlier *****
"Whenever you're ready , Dean ." Sam said for the third time .
"OK . You said that more than 10 times in the last 5 minutes . If you really mean that , then shut up and let me finish checking my gun . " Dean said firmly .
Sam rolled his eyes , put his duffel down and sat on a chair ."Apparently we won't go anywhere sooner than tomorrow ." he whispered .
"I heard that ." said Dean without looking at Sam .
"Ok, sorry . But Dean , really , we don't need a gun , I mean not that one . It's an easy salt and burn ,and we have the rock salt bullets ."
"We never know what will happen next , we better be ready . Anyway , I'm done , we can go now , wuss ." Dean stood up and grabbed his duffel .
Sam looked confused . "What ? I'm not a wuss . You can't even use that word in this case ."
"I can use that whenever I like , WUSS . Besides , it suits you ." Dean grinned .
"And I'll Kill you someday ." Sam grumbled .
...
"In the basement ?" Sam asked as they entered the old desolate house .
"Yeah , basement Sam . You sure you're OK ? " Dean sounded obviously concernd .
Sam was irritated ."Dean Really , ask it again and I'm out of here . "
"Whoa , calm down . You just don't look fine , all I'm saying is if you have any problem , you could wait in the car . You asked about the basement like , I don't know 20 times ? And really , you look so nervous . " Dean tried to calm his brother down .
'Well , if just Ruby would answer her damn phone , or if I could find some demon blood , I wouldn't be that nervous , bro . ' Sam thought and sighed , he knew he couldn't tell Dean the reason , but on the other hand, going on without some demon blood was getting harder every second .
"You wait here and watch , I'll dig the grave ." Dean started to work without waiting for Sam's reaction , so Sam decided to just watch .But it wasn't as easy as it sounded , specially for Sam , and he understood it too late , one second he was standing by the grave , trying to focus on the situation , the next he was flying toward a wall .
"Saaaam ." Dean shouted as he heard Sam yelled and saw the impact .He jumped out of the grave , grabbed the shotgun and started shooting the spirit , but shockingly nothing happened . The spirit stopped right where she was , looked down at her chest ,then rose her head and stared into Dean's eyes. She smirked impish , looked at Dean's chest and shook her hand .Suddenly Dean felt an unbearable agony in his chest as blood soaked his shirt , but before he could find time to put the puzzle together , he flew toward a wall , hit his head hard and ended up on the ground semiconscious .
"Naughty Boy .We'll finish this later , I don't have time for you now ." she said and snapped .
..............
A groan brought Dean back to the present to make him realize it was his own groan .
"I thought you were supposed to tell me the story , not sleep with eyes open ." Bobby pushed something on his chest .
Dean looked down at it. " I thought I was defining , sorry , didn't realize when I got lost in my thoughts ."
"So ? Are you gonna tell me now ? Or I should wait another round ?" asked Bobby .
"You know , it's not really that long . We were supposed to salt and burn the remaining of a bitch , who was haunting the town .We headed to her grave . Everything seemed alright , but then .. Well it wasn't a spirit at all . It's a witch . She appeared there and threw Sam away. She got a little mad at me for shooting her , so she decided to show me how does it feel .Then I started to fly toward a wall , and though things are so blurry after that, I can remember her voice telling me 'we'll finish this later ' . I think she snapped then and everything went black .When I opened my eyes , we're still there , Sam was out and the grave was empty ." Dean shortened .
Bobby was staring at Dean ,his eyes widened " Sounds like a Professional witch , huh ?"
"Tell me about it . I guess she wanted it to be like a ghost job . My problem is why she didn't finish us right then and there ? What is she waiting for ? " Dean said and grabbed his shirt as Bobby finished the patching up .
"What happened next ? I mean after you woke up .What did you do ? " asked Bobby .
Dean shrugged "Nothing special , I brought Sam back , did the routines with wounds and his concussion , discussed with Cass and when he disappeared , I got some sleep ."
"So you didn't do any research . Well , I guess it's my turn then . You need some rest , I'll look for some information . Why didn't you call me before ?"
"Bobby , you were two states away . AND , we've stopped bothering you for just a random ghost hunt , long time ago ."
"Well it wasn't a random ghost hunt ."
"Well we didn't know that from the beginning ." Dean imitated in the exact same tone .
Bobby rolled his eyes ."Alright Idjit . Get some sleep , I'll wake Sam up ,two hours from now. "
"I think I'm good , I'm not tired ."
"You're the one who was whining about needing some sleep ."
"I wasn't whining ." Dean huffed .
"Yes you were ."
"No I wasn't . It's Sam's thing . What kind of family has two whiner ."
"Not like you're from a normal family ." Bobby noted .
"Well that's why we even have one , Winchesters don't whine ."
"Right . Just don't give me this ' we Winchesters ' lecture again ."
"You started it . Whatever , you have any plan ? Anything to start with ? Cuz I think I should take another look to everything we went through before.I mean if you don't need my help , I'll start with those pieces that we already checked once , I may find something we didn't see before . " Dean sat behind the laptop .
"Sounds good to me .You do that and I'll check my books ."
"What book exactly ? I Don't see any book . As far as I know , you're zapped here ." Dean reminded him .
Bobby cursed under his breath .
"There are some books in the trunk of Impala , they may be useful , or you can ask Cass to bring you your books here ." Dean grinned .
"What book do you need ? " Cass asked , suddenly appearing .
"Cass . Damn it ,are you gonna give me a heart attack or something ?" Bobby muttered .
"Welcome to the club ." Dean said to Bobby and then looked at Cass ."What are you doing ? Overhearing us ?"
"I needed to make sure everything is OK ." Cass looked back at Dean .
"You better try and ask next time , though the answer wouldn't satisfy you , anyway ." Dean scowled .
"Dean , you weren't listening to me , I had to bring Bobby here . You have - "
"Cass , Don't start it again . Would you please just bring him his books ." Dean said gesturing toward Bobby .
"But - "
Bobby didn't let him continue "Everything is under control Cass , here is the list of some books I may need , if you could -"
"I'll be right back ." Cass said and disappeared into thin air .
