It's 7 a.m. and Dean wakes up to an empty bed. He sits up on the bed and rubs his head. He looks over to Sam's bed and sees a freshly made bed and hears the shower cut off in the bathroom.

"Wow that was a vivid dream." Dean quietly says to himself. As Dean gets out of bed, Sam walks into the motel room with three cups of coffee and breakfast pastries in tow.

"Rise and shine sleeping beauty!" Sam says with a wide grin on his face as he looks at a confused Dean.

Dean looks in the direction of the bathroom, rolls his eyes, and rubs his temples as if he just got a bad headache.

"That wasn't a dream. Jo is here."

"Yep, she sure is! You two looked pretty comfortable when I woke up about an hour ago." Sam said with a smirk on his face as he set the coffee and pastries down on the table.

"Shut up Sam!"

"No, seriously. You looked like an old married couple the way her arm was wrapped around your waist and your arm around her shoulder-cute!" Sam let out a slight laugh.

Dean looked at Sam and gave him one of those "If you say another word, so help me God, I will kick your ass," looks.

"What is she doing here anyway?" Sam asked curiously.

"She and Ellen got into a big fight last night and she needed a place to crash." Dean answered solemnly.

"They're always fighting over something. What happened? Jo wants to go off on another hunt?"

"I wish." Dean replied in a very low tone and started to rub his temples again, but low enough for Sam to hear. Sam was about to ask why when Jo strolls out of the bathroom.

Jo is wearing snug fitting low-rise jeans that are very complimentary to her figure and a white baby t-shirt showing about an inch of her bare waist and her well toned arms. Her hair is freshly washed and somewhat dried, pulled into a messy bun with some hair hanging down causing her t-shirt to be wet between her breast and her back.

"Hey guys." Jo says smiling as she looks at Sam and Dean and walks toward the table.

She grabs a coffee and sits in the chair. "Good morning sunshine." Jo says to Dean who can do nothing but look at her speechless.

"Hey Jo!" Sam greets her back. "Help yourself, I figured you would be hungry. So, what brings you here? I heard you and Ellen got into another fight. What's going on?"

Dean gets up and walks into the bathroom closing the door behind him. Minutes later you hear the shower cut on.

Jo looks at the bathroom door and hurt shows on her face. She turns and looks at Sam who is thinking a million thoughts but decides to keep them to himself.

"My old boyfriend, a hunter, proposed to me and I told her I was considering saying yes."

"Oh, wow, ok. Uhm, congratulations." Sam said. That wasn't at all what he was thinking of. "That explains a lot." Sam thought.

"So he's another hunter? What's his name?" Sam asked.

"His name is Ryan. He left on a hunt a little over a year ago. When I didn't hear from him I thought he was killed. I grieved for a few months, but then I moved on. Then I met you and Dean and . . . Dean . . . never mind. I figure why not. At least I know how he feels about me and I know the hunting life." Jo replied.

"Don't you think you're moving too fast? I mean, where is he now? Why didn't you go to him?" Sam asked.

"I thought I left my mother at the Roadhouse." Jo retorted. "He's in Minnesota somewhere hunting a doppelganger. I came here because I wanted to talk to Dean and get his thoughts on it but getting a straight answer out of him is like pulling teeth."

Sam laughed, "Yeah, it's a hard job but not impossible. If you look closely and pay attention you can get an answer out of him without him saying a word."

Jo nods her head slightly pondering what Sam just said.

"Did you say he's in Minnesota hunting a doppelganger?" Sam asked as he got up, grabbed his laptop, opened it, and started clicking.

"Yeah, why?" Jo replied as she sat next to Sam to see what he was searching.

"I was researching a string of murders near St. Paul that seemed unusual. I wonder if Ryan is hunting the same thing." Sam answered. "Dean and I were heading out there today. Maybe he can use some help, and we can grill him for you!" Sam said teasingly.

"Yeah, that would be great." Jo said sarcastically.

Dean steps out of the shower as steam escapes behind him. He's wearing nothing but a pair of white boxer briefs under faded blue jeans that aren't baggy but in need of a belt. He walks over to his duffel bag while drying his hair with a towel. Jo just stares as he throws the towel on the bed and digs in the bag to grab a t-shirt and belt. She can't help but stare as his back and arm muscles flex as he puts on his t-shirt. She quickly turns back to Sam as Dean turns around and walks towards them while putting on his belt. Sam rolls his eyes as he closes his laptop and puts it in his bag.

"So, what's the plan?" Dean asks as he grabs a coffee and sifts through the pastries with a slight disappointed look on his face as he grabs a danish. "Doesn't anyone serve pie in the morning?"

"Remember the string of murders in St. Paul I was researching last night?" Sam answered.

"Yeah, and?" Dean said.

Sam continued, "Well, after talking to Jo, it appears we have a doppelganger on our hands."

"So, Ryan's doppelganger huh?" Dean grins as he takes a bite into his danish.

"He wishes." Jo says low enough for Sam to hear. Annoyed, Sam gets up.

"Look, from what I've researched about this monster, it's pretty smart and strong. Five people are already dead and no one has any leads on this thing. I think we should go to Minnesota and help this Ryan guy. He may need it."

"He's a hunter Sam. You're not the only one who can research and properly prepare."

"What's the problem Dean? It won't hurt to check it out. Dean shakes his head. Besides, we can take Jo to her possible fiancé."

Dean takes in a very deep breath, closes his eyes and breathes out slowly looking down with a torn expression on his face. Sam looks at Jo and gestures his eyes toward Dean. Jo looks at Dean and her eyes squint as if she's trying to read his mind.

"Well, I'll go check out while you put everything in the car. When I get back I guess we'll be ready to hit the road." Sam says as he walks towards the door and off to the main office closing the door behind him.

"I'll grab your suitcase for you." Dean says as he grabs the handle of her suitcase and walks toward the door.

"Dean!" Jo says in frustration as Dean grabs the door knob and is about to walk out.

Dean turns around and looks at her but she can't find the words to speak.

"Never mind." Jo says as she watches Dean turn back around and walk out the door.
