Chapter 4"Dean, calm down! It's not what you think! I'm not leaving – I would never leave you like this! You know that," Sam insisted.
"Something is going on. I'm not stupid," Dean declared, obviously hurt.
I know that you aren't stupid more than anyone else would, but I just need to take care of something and I didn't want to bother you," Sam explained.
"Not bother me!" Dean exclaimed. "Now you're just being stupid! I'm the big brother around here. I can take care of my own problems. Are you already writing me off Sam? I still have five weeks left!"
Sam walked over and put his hand on Dean's shoulder. "I have a way to break your contract!" he exclaimed joyously. "I was about to go to the crossroads now, and I am not going to make any deals."
"Break my contract?" said Dean in a small, wondrously disbelieving voice."Yes," Sam said comfortingly, glad that Dean seemed to finally be coming around.
"It's not possible," dean said, his voice stronger now and filled with a disappointed conviction.
"Yes it is!" Sam insisted.
"H-how?" Dean stammered.
"Demons have rules! Isn't that odd?" Sam exclaimed.
"What do you mean, demons have rules?" Dean said sceptically.
"You got cheated on that contract," Sam explained. "I did some research and I found all the information in some old book on the rules of demons."
Dean looked disappointed. "Book? Sammy, That's the most ridiculous thing that I've ever heard!" he walked over to the bed and sat heavily down on it, putting his head in his hands.
"I knew you'd say that! That's why I didn't tell you in the first place!" Sam announced dramatically.
"Well, you were right, Sammy. It's just a waste of time," Dean said with a sigh.
Ignoring this last comment, Sam said, "Bobby thinks this is a good idea. I'm going to do it."
"You can't!" Dean gasped, horrified. "You'll die! This – this book is probably just a bunch of made-up junk! Let me see that book!"
"Be careful with it… it's so valuable," said Dean.
Dean's face changed from sceptic disappointment to wonderment faster than a set of traffic lights. "This can't be real," he said, but this time his voice was laced with amazement rather than sceptism.
"It is. All my research proves that it is," Sam said gently. "The crossroads are only ten or so minutes away. I'm going to go now. Are you coming?"
"Do you really think that I'd wait here for something like this? Of course I'm coming!" Dean said, laughing. The two brothers climbed quickly into the car, Dean in the driver's seat and Sam beside him, to drive to the crossroads and set Dean free.
