"Alright. So let me get this straight Ellen." Sam said. "Jo is on a date with a mystery guy?"
"That's right, she didn't want to tell me who it was either. That little brat said I would hate to see the two of them together. She was scared I would disapprove of it." Ellen told them.
"Right, right. At the same time though, the Impala goes missing and it's nowhere to be found." Dean added in. The three of them sat thinking over three beers, in the sweltering heat of the closed bar with the ceiling fans going full blast. They had been for about ten minutes, Dean and Sam had waited for the Roadhouse to close so they could discuss their suspicions with Ellen. Dean finally had to say it, " Ellen, we are gonna cut to the chase. We think Jo lied to you, and we also think she took the Impala to work a case." Dean told her, looking sweaty.
"I agree." She just said. "It was obvious from the get-go."
"The only thing I don't get is why go alone, and why take MY car!" Dean exclaimed pounding the table with his fist.
"Can't help you there boys, I don't know why Jo would do that, but have we got any other ideas?" Ellen asked.
"It could just be a coincidence." Sam decided to throw out into the ideas.
"Oh! Here we go again! Again, with the 'Maybe it's a coincidence' and the 'This might not be supernatural at all'! Come on Sam, haven't you realized yet? Every time we have doubts, our doubts are wrong and we always just get put back." Dean told his brother. Sam looked frustrated.
"Sorry for that Dean. I wasn't trying to help you or anything. Apparently my ideas don't matter that much. You know what? I know you are pissed about the Impala, but come on, taking it out on me Dean!" Sam shot back.
"Boys! Come off it!" Ellen roared separating the two who were now nose to nose.
"Fine, You're right, maybe I am a little pissed. It's probably because some amateur demon hunter girl just made off to do a mission we should take care of, and hey, she decided to take my ride along for the adventure!" Dean said looking more pissed. The three sat there in the static, all feeling uncomfortable. Sam was staring at Dean, and Dean was looking back and downing his beer. "I still can't believe this. Damnit Jo! I gotta get my car back." Dean said, getting up from the table. "Come on Sam."
"Yes master." Sam said sarcastically. "Thanks for the drink, Ellen, we will try to find Jo for you." .
"Find her? Kill her is more like it! If she hasn't already crashed it." Dean said walking out the door. Sam followed and they were gone.
Ellen sat there pondering where her daughter could be, and why she would take the Impala of all things. She knew she had a secret thing for Dean, but taking his car wasn't exactly the best way to pick the guy up. God, she was glad this boyfriend wasn't him though. To call Dean Son in law would be worse than death.
