Chapter 49

The next time I woke up, there was someone holding my hand. I figured it was Dean, so I didn't open my eyes right away. When I did I got a small surprise. Dad was sitting there looking at the floor by my bed and I could see that he was really freaked. He looked up at me and I watched him relax when he saw me looking at him.

I tried to ask him if he was ok, but still couldn't really talk yet. He told me to use my signs like Caleb had taught me. Caleb had decided one day that it would be better for us to learn sign language in case we were paired up on a case and needed to sneak up on something. He taught us something that was a cross between actual combat hand signals and American Sign Language. It was right then that I realized he had gotten it from dad to start with cause that's how dad had told me to do it. He didn't want to wake Racheal up.

I asked him if he was ok and he said he was fine. I told him the boys had been looking for him and he said he knew that, but didn't want them to find him. I asked him what was going on and he wouldn't tell me, he just changed the subject and asked what had happened in Sam's apartment. I told him everything. By the time I was done he had a very sad look on his face.

He sat there for a few more minutes and then asked me if I knew about the co-ordinates he had left for Dean in his journal. I told him yes and then asked what it was for. He said it was a distraction to get the boys off his trail. He also said that he was working on something really dangerous and didn't want any of us involved.

I should have tried to get more info from him, but didn't. He asked me if I thought I could get the boys to leave me and go to Colorado. I thought about it for a few minutes and then nodded. I knew there was no way Dean was gonna leave while I was in the hospital, so I decided was just gonna check myself out A.M.A. I figured I could get Racheal to take me someplace to heal up and then catch up with my brothers later.

After I told dad I could do what he asked, he stood up, patted me on my arm, and then walked out of the room. I watched him leave and then grabbed an empty cup that was sitting on the table next to me and threw it at Racheal. It bounced off her head and she jumped up, ready for a fight. She looked around the room and then asked me if I was ok when she saw I was awake. I nodded and then told her I wanted to leave.

She looked at me like I was crazy and then nodded. She could tell by the look on my face that there was going to be no talking me out of it. She grabbed my clothes from the small closet while I removed the I.V. I was nearly dressed when the doctor chose that moment to walk in. He tried really hard to stop me from leaving, but brought me the paperwork in the end.

When we got to her car I asked Racheal if she knew where the boys were. She said they were doing a little investigating to try and find a trail for the thing that had killed Jessica. I asked her if she knew exactly where they were cause we needed to go to my apartment and get some stuff. She said she really had no idea. I just nodded and we got in the car and headed for my apartment anyway.

We decided that she would go in and get the stuff I wanted just in case the boys were there. Luckily they weren't so she didn't have to answer any questions. She also made arrangements with the building manager to get the rest of my stuff out at a later date. We were a block away when she saw the Impala park in front of the building through her rear view mirror.

We stopped at a gas station by the highway to fill up her car. When she got back in she asked me if I wanted to go home. I hadn't been back to Carlin since Laura died and still didn't want to go back there so I told her no. I thought about going back to Kila, but that was the first place Dean would look for me. We settled on going to her dad's in South Dakota.

I fell asleep shortly after we hit the highway. I woke up an hour later to my phone ringing. I looked at the caller I.D. and then handed the phone to Racheal. She answered it by turning on the speaker phone and was greeted by a rather upset Dean. He yelled for a good 5 minutes until he realized he was talking to Racheal. As soon as he did, he demanded to know where I was.

She told him I was with her in her car. He asked her where we were going and she said she didn't know yet. He told her to ask me what the hell was going on and I said that I was distracting them. I said that the boys needed to go to Colorado to find dad and that I would only slow them down. He tried to protest, but I said that I would catch up with him as soon as I was back to my old self.

Racheal relayed all this to him and added that she promised she'd take good care of me for him. He made her promise to call every couple of days until I had my voice back and could do so myself. He told me to get better soon and told Racheal to not let me do anything stupid. She said she had everything under control and then hung up the phone.

It killed me to leave him like that, but dad wanted them in Colorado. I figured I could use the recovery time to do some research and see what else I could dig up on the thing that had killed my mom and now Jessica. I also wanted my Jeep back and Bobby hadn't had time to fix it. At least I'd have something to do instead of going crazy worrying about my brothers.
