Chapter 3
A/N- I do not own Supernatural
"Dad went on a hunting trip… and he hasn't been home in a few days."
...
It was a long drive but we finally made it to California. Dean went inside to talk to his brother while Molly and I sat in the truck since it was a better idea to not ruin a possible brotherly moment. However, Molly was getting restless from being stuck in the truck for hours on end.
"Come on Molly." I said with a sigh. I let the dog out to do her business and get a little running in. I fished a tennis ball out one of my bags and walked onto the sidewalk to pass a little time and get Molly moving. I needed to get my legs stretched out too after the long drive.
About 20 minutes later, the brothers came out and when I saw them, I called Molly back into the truck and gave her a treat really quick. I closed the door and leaned up against it in order to be able to meet the other Winchester.
"I'm guessing you're Sammy." I said with a smile when the boys got close. Molly had her head hanging out the window to get a look at the new person too.
"Just Sam. And you are…?"
"I'm Sarah Singer, Bobby's niece. But that's a story for later."
"She's gonna help us look for Dad." Dean said.
"Awww, Dean! And here I thought you were gonna ditch me once we got here." I said with a smirk. I caught a glimpse of movement in one of the windows on the house the boys just came from. "You may want to let your girlfriend know that she doesn't have to worry about you hanging around another girl." A smirk and a wink from me caused the girl to pull away from the window and go back to her normal life.
"Huh… We may have more in common than I thought." Dean said with a smirk.
"You like both men and women too?" I asked sarcastically. This caused Dean to get a little flustered.
"No." Dean said crossing his arms.
"It's alright Dean. I know you're almost as straight as a flag pole."
"Almost?" Sam asked with a small laugh and small smile.
"Yeah. But that's also something for later. We gotta get going." I said while opening the door to the truck and hopping in, causing Molly to shuffle back over to her spot in the passenger seat. I then leaned out the window, "Speaking of, where are we going?"
"Jericho, California. That's our first lead." Dean said.
"Got it. I'll follow again. Same rules. Sammy, if you're about to kill your brother then you're welcome to come ride with me. You just have to fight Molly for the passenger seat or there's always the back." I said with a smirk while scratching the dog's ears.
"Alright." He says with a small chuckle before getting serious again. "But don't call me Sammy."
"No promises." I said with a smirk. Dean started walking to the car getting antsy to get going and was closely followed by his brother.
"Wow… He practically finished the case for us." I said while looking at the walls covered in newspapers and pages ripped out from books.
"I don't think he's been here for a couple of days… At least." Dean said while setting an old half eaten burger back on the table.
….
"That was actually easier than I thought it would be." I said while hopping into the back of the Impala to go back to the motel. Sam had crashed the car into the abandoned house so it was a little awkward trying to get in without running into the debris.
"Yeah but Dad's not here." Sam said.
"So, it's back to Stanford for you then?"
"Yeah."
The rest of the ride was quiet and most of the time spent packing up back at the motel was too. The quiet was broken once my phone started to ring.
"Hey Bobby… Yeah, I'm with the boys… No. We're taking Sammy back. He has a school thing on Monday… Yeah… Yeah… I'm sure the boys can manage on their own... Alright I'll be there as soon as I can." I hung up and turned to the boys. "Bobby needs me for a hunt. I have to leave now. So, it was nice meeting you Sammy and I'm sure I'll run into you again Dean."
"Dad?" I shouted into the house once I got to South Dakota.
"I'm in here." Bobby yelled back from the kitchen.
"Hey." I said walking next to him and giving him a hug as he stood up from the table. "I'm raiding your fridge."
"As if I didn't know that wasn't going to happen." He said with a sarcastically taking his seat back at the table. "Where's your partner?"
"She's running around the salvage yard. She's been in the car too long and needs some time to run." He just nodded at me. After I made a sandwich for me and him and grabbed a couple of beers, I sat across from him at the table and looked around at the research he was doing.
"So what do you got for me?" I asked taking a bite of my food.
"Nothing yet."
"Uh-huh…" I said flatly.
"What? An old man can't spend a little time with the little girl he's known since she was a baby and practically raised before sending her back out on a hunt?" He said with his usual amount of sass.
"Alright… I'm sorry I haven't been up here in a while. I just needed to get out and about for a bit." I said with a chuckle.
"Well you know how to at least use a damn phone."
"Again, I'm sorry." I said finishing my food and taking the last swig out of my beer. "I'll make it up to you. I'll make dinner tonight."
I took our plates and started to wash them. I heard scratching on the door and knew that Molly wanted in. I walked over to the door and let the excited dog in. I set a bowl of water and front of her and she lapped it up as soon as possible.
"There she is." Bobby said kind of as if he was talking to a little kid. The excited pup ran over to him and couldn't wait to be pet.
"I forget how much of a softy you are when you're around Molly." I said with a chuckle.
"Shut up ya idjit." He said with a serious tone now. Of course that caused me to laugh again.
"Let me know if you suddenly find a case. I'm going to unload the car and take a shower." He nodded in acknowledgement. I turned to Molly who was flopped on her back and getting her belly rubbed. "Be good Molly."
So… Fair warning… From here on out, I'm going to be jumping around from season to season… It will still be in chronological order but I may jump from the 1st episode in season 4 to like the middle of 5.
Thanks for reading y'all!
