CHAPTER 5
LAW AFFAIRS
The brothers heading down the silent road, when the rain finally ceased. Little by little, the sun begins to make it's apperance evaporating the rain pleasantly as they drove.
«So?» Sam asked after a few minutes. It was the first time that either of them spoke since they had left the house.
«So what?» Dean replied absently.
«What do you think about this?» the brother asked again, observing Dean's reaction.
Dean shrugged his shoulders, saying nothing for a few moments then he simply said: «We just don't know enough». He didn't seem too much worried about the question.
«And now where are we headed?» Sam asked as he seen that they headed back into town.
«To the hotel of course!» the brother replied, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. «Where do you want to go? We haven't even had dinner yet. We'll work tomorrow, Sammy.».
Sam looked at him, surprised. «But it isn't even nine yet!» he exclaimed, frowning. «We need to examine the...»
«I don't tell you what to do, but look, I'm really hungry» the brother interrupted him. «And I want to examine anything right now but a big hamburger. And then...» he suddenly stopped himself from talking. «Oh no, and now what do they want?»
«What are you talking about?» Sam asked, confused, but he undestood everything as he leaned out the window.
In front of their hotel's door, there were two police cars. Sam hoped they weren't there for something that concerned them, but he didin't build his hopes up too high. As the policemen saw them, Sam and Dean saw Redstone get out of one of the cars and gestured for them to stop.
Lifting his eyes, Dean pulled up and got out of the car with a calmness that seemed natural.
«Ehy, officer, there's a problem?» he asked calmly.
«The both of you. That's the problem!» Redstone exclaimed as he came closer to the brothers. About ten officers were in a hurry to surround them. «Who do you think you're dealing with here? Fake names! Forged ID cards! Impersonating a official!»
«Dean, I won't say that I warned you, but...» Sam started under his breath.
«...You warned me» the brother muttered. He spoke to the captain: «Listen, we can explain everything, really»
«I don't care about yours explainations! Follow me in the police station, both of you!» Redstone ordened, glaring angrily at them.
Leaving the Impala parked in the middle of the parking lot, they both got into one of the police cars, and was sriving back to the police station.
Dean seemed just bored, like he was following a daily routine. Sam couldn't stop loooking at him half-surprised, half-angry.
When they arrived at the police station, Redstone threw them into a white interrogation room, making them sit at a table as he stand there looking at them grimly. He then started to bombard them with questions.
«What is going on in your head? What business do you have in this town? Why does that house interest you so much?» Redstone had began to shout so loud that the brothers would probably no even been heard if they were inclined to answer.
Maybe Dean could remain calm and unreadable but Sam just couldn't help himself from having a guilty expression imprinted on his face. In the end, when the captain had stopped shoting long enough to catch his breath, Dean menaged to interrupt him.
«Jane Everlyne is still in that house. She's not missing» he stated calmly, like it was a well known fact.
Listening to the words Dean was speaking , Redstone seemed to deflate. «W-what?» he muttered, confused. «And how can you now that?»
«We went there» Sam said at once. «Just a few hours ago. And... we also spoke to her. She's fine. She has been living there alone since her folks died»
The policeman seemed confused and didn't know how to respond. After muttering a lot to himself, he leaned out of the door and he yelled: «Stonehead!»
A young man not much older than twenty rushed in standing to attention. «Yes Captain!» he exclaimed as he puffed his chest out.
«I want you to go immediately to the old Everlynes' place, where a girl named Jane is living, and bring her here... use force, if it's necessary!» Redstone ordered.
«No!» Sam coulnd't help himself from interjecting.
The captain looked at him furiously. «I beg your pardon?» he asked as he clinched his teeth.
Sam found himself with all eyes on him. Includig Dean's. The brother seemed to not have understood Sam's outburst either. Sam addressed himself to Redstone, looking directly at him.
«You can't send him to that house, it's too dangerous. He's going to disappear, just like all the others!» he said as he suddenly understood no one was going to believe him.
Redstone, as a matter of fact, bursted into a harsh laugh. «And could you tell me why? And while you are at it tell me why are you are still here perfectly safe?» he asked, spitefully.
Sam wished he had the answer for that. Unfortunately, he had been wondering exactly the same thing since they left the mansion.
«You know what I think?» the captain went on to say, threatening. «I think you are trying to hide something from us. Stonehead, go... and while you're at it, have a look around!»
Triumphant, he laughed again. As the young man went out, he talked again to the two brothers. «And for you, you'll stay here until you tell me the truth about you!»
Looking at the boys for the last time, Redston left closing the door behind him.
When the captain had vanished from their view, Dean leaned on the table. «Well, Sammy, it seems we're going to have a lot of time to think about it now» he said, as he closed his eyes.
«Don't joke» he answered, seriously. «We cant' waste time. It's a urgent situation! That officier Stonehead... he will be hurt if we don't stop him!»
«Well, maybe we can get Redstone to believe us» the brother calmly said.
«Dean!»
«Alright, then» Dean looked at him, attentive. «When you find a way to get out of here, let me know. Meanwhile, goodnight»
And, after saying this, Dean leaned onto the table and yawning, closed his eyes a second time.
