Dean stood next to the door keeping it agape so the boy can walk in . Dean closed the door behind the boy when he walked in . Dean pulled up a chair for the boy to sit on and sat in front of him . The boy sat down and looked down at his hands in his laps . Dean waited for the boy to speak , he didn't want to upset the boy or push him into telling him information .The boy sat there , teeth chattering from the coldness and cold clothes clinging to his skin . " Sam , go get that spare blanket from the closet ."
"It's okay ." Shawn said .
"No your freezing , your parents will be mad if you catch a cold ." Dean said smiling slightly at the boy , who smiled back grateful for the nice gesture the man gave him and gave the other man the same smile when he brought him the blanket . "Thank you ." the boy said politely . When the boy had the blanket wrapped around his shoulders .
"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you at my house , tons of cops have talked to me all week , trying to get me to talk . I was just to .. I don't know what I am" Shawn apologized.
"No need to be sorry. We understand ." Sam said .
"What did you need to tell us ?" Dean asked .
"A few days before my sister died ,she was different ." Shawn said .
"Your mom said she was acting fine ." Sam said confused .
"To my mom she acted like her perfect self but when she was near it was like something switched , her personality changed . She'd look at me like I was a piece of garbage. And we've never been like that before , we've always been close . She was my best friend , she'd choose me over he friends all the time ."Shawn said emotion taking notice in his voice .
"Shawn on the night your sister died , how was she acting ?"
"Nice one minute , Mean the next . The night it happened , I was in my room .."
"Wait you were awake when your sister took the sleeping pills ." Dean interrupted .
"Yeah I was ." Shawn said .
"What happened ?" Sam asked .
"I was sitting in my room watching T.V , it was getting late and was almost asleep when my sister broke open my door ."
"She broke your door ?"
"Yeah , she kicked it open . I don't know how but she did . The door was locked , I always locked my doors at night , and they are strong , my dad installed them because when I was little used to sleep walk and my parents didn't want me to hurt my self ." Shawn paused "She could hardly open it , let alone have the strength to kick it open ."
"What happened after ?"Dean asked .
"She walked to my bathroom and went to my medicine cabinet and that was locket too , so she broke the glass that was behind it too and grabbed my sleeping pills . Then she left my room, I tried to get the bottle from her but she …. she … wouldn't listen , so I tried to grab it from her but she …" Shawn stopped and stared at his hand on his lap again .
"Shawn ? What did your sister do ?" Dean asked gently .
"She spun around and threw me against the wall and I hit … hard . I got all the wind knocked out of me ." Shawn said . "Broken glass got in my back and I had a hard time breathing . I wanted to go and help her but I was … scared ." Shawn admitted . " I don't why she would do that , she's never hit me or anything before then .She was acting almost like she was possessed ." Shawn shook his head trying to shake the images of his sister out of his mind . "Am I a bad brother , that didn't help my sister ?"Shawn asked finally looking up and looked up at Dean with tears in his eyes .
"Shawn , listen to me you did everything you could to help your sister and try to save her . She was lucky to have a brother like you ." Dean said trying to comfort the boy .He looked up at Dean smiled at him and wiped the tears out of his eyes . "Shawn we're gonna help find out why this happened to your sister , the best we can , we promise ." Sam said .
"So , you guys don't think I'm crazy ?"
"Nope , not even a little bit ." Dean said .
"Good , because if I told my parents , they'd send me to a padded room or think I was lying. Even though I would never lie about something as serious as my sister's death ."
"Why would they think you were lying or crazy ?"
"Because my sister was the good kid and I guess I was the bad kid .I get in trouble a lot and my down fall is lying ."
"I know how that is ." Dean smiled . "And if it makes you feel any better , I don't think your a bad kid ."
"Me neither ." Sam added .
"Thanks ." Shawn said . "Can you guys do me a favor ?"
"Sure ."
"If you find something about my sister will you tell me , please ?"
"Shawn , I don't know …"
"If it was your family wouldn't you want to help ?" Shawn asked .
"Of course ."
"So you understand why I want to be involved ."
"Okay , we'll keep you in the loop ." Dean agreed .Shawn smiled and leaned over and hugged Dean , which caught Dean off guard . "Thank You , Thank You ." Shawn said .
"Anytime ." Dean smiled . The boy pulled away wincing slightly . "What's wrong ?" Dean asked .
"Nothing , My back hurts from when I hit the wall , I think it's just sore ." Shawn said.
"Shawn can I ask you something ?"Sam asked .
"Sure ."
"How did you know where we were staying ?"
"Well you guys have a pretty distinct car . Probably the nicest car I've ever seen . And when you guys left my house, I saw you guy make a right off my street and theirs only two motels to the right of my house . The Blues and Green Bay Motel ." Shawn said "It took me two hours to decide to come here ."
"Well I'm glad you did because you've helped immensely with your sister's case .
"Good ." Shawn said "I guess I'll go , so you guys can have the rest of the day to yourselves ."
"Alright Shawn , thanks for all the help . Be careful going home , it's slippery . And if we find anything we'll give you a call ."
"Okay Bye guys ."Shawn said and walked out the door . Dean watched as the boy climbed on his bike and rode away . He closed the door when he knew Shawn was okay and safely down the street .
"I can't believe you promised him that we keep him in the loop ." Sam said .
"What was I suppose to do Sam ? He was practically begging us to let him help ."
"Tell him no . Dean , we don't even know what we're dealing with .We could get that poor kid killed ." Sam said .
"Well we won't let that happen now will we !" Dean said raising his voice . "Besides it's not like we're taking him to fight the thing with us . He just wants to be informed ."
"Still Dean , not knowing what is out there will keep this kid safer and I think …."
"Damn it Sam , why can you ever trust me with what I'm talking about ? I'm pretty sure I know more since …." Dean stopped , he knew he was sticking is foot in his mouth , so he stopped speaking .
"Since what ?" Sam asked .
"Never mind ." Dean said .
"No finish the sentence ." Sam said . When Dean didn't continued the sentence , Sam did . "Were you gonna say since you were here and I wasn't . That I went to college , I obviously don't know what I'm talking about."
"No I wasn't gonna say that ." Dean said .
"That's Bull !" Sam yelled . He grabbed his sweatshirt for his bed and put it on .
"Where are you going ?" Dean asked .
"Library , gonna research ." Sam replied and walked out the door , slamming it behind him . Dean sighed loudly and sat sat down on his bed . Trying to focus on the ridiculous show on the television show on the screen . But it was difficult because anger was still coursing through his veins . He couldn't understand why Sam could never listen to him . He wanted to know why Sam jumped down his throat when he says the wrong thing once because theirs been times when Sam's said shit that bothered him and Dean didn't get mad . Great now I feel like a old married couple Dean thought to himself . Dean couldn't wait for this hunt to be over .
