(Okay I'm going to do something of a montage of the rest of the trip, because it's too boring to do each stop and I hope I can do it so it's not too boring for you.)
Chapter 17
I had asked to get a camera and Dean of course asks me why and I explained that I wanted to make new memories so that I would have something to remember my remaining time with them and the places were visiting while driving to Wisconsin.
I was able to pick out a very nice blue colored digital camera came with a starter kit and a camera bag. (Sam bought me one extra memory card that was a 16 GB card.)
It was really nice to take pictures. I took one of Dean by himself leaning against the Impala. I took one of Sam at the rest stop sitting down at a picnic table. Someone was kind enough to get one of me in the middle of Sam and Dean sitting on the hood of the Impala.
Minnesota was nice and the motel where we stayed was okay. I snapped a few pictures of Sam and Dean cleaning the weapons. Dean held up the gun and gave me a James Bond look and I had to snap a picture. Sam snapped one of Dean giving me a piggyback ride.
I did get few of them deep in thought and the look on their faces I could tell that they were thinking of something sad. They had such sad faces that I was tempted to delete the pictures, but I didn't. I saw the journal that was their dad's and they explained to me that he passed away and that they were picking up where their dad left off and I understood.
The journal was fascinating and I looked through it and was looking at all the different creatures and the different lore and of course urban Legends. "Wow, I never knew there were so many different things out there." I told them as I looked at it. "Well that's only what our dad found out." Dean told me as he took a drink from his beer.
We had stopped at another rest stop and I was at the picnic table looking at the journal. "There could be hundreds or thousands of different evil things out there right now." Sam told me as he handed me a soda. "So could one of those have taken me?" I ask as I close the journal. Dean shrugs. "We don't know." Sam sits next to me. "We may never find out." He adds.
"Well I'd rather not know and just find out who I am." I tell them as I slide the journal to Dean who's sitting across from me. I open my soda and take a long drink. "Well hopefully we can help you." Dean looks at me. "I think this road trip is going to be the only road trip I take for a long while." I drink up my soda and get up.
"I'm going to the bathroom." I tell them as I walk away. "Don't take too long we need to get back on the road." Dean yells after me. I wave my hand so he knows I heard him. I go into the bathroom and into one of the stalls.
When I'm done I wash my hands and pull out a couple of brown paper towels. I look in the mirror at my reflection as I wipe off my hands. "Who are you?" I ask the reflection in the mirror. No answer and I hit mirror with my palm and walk out. Dean and Sam are waiting in the Impala as I get into the back and shut the door closed.
"We're close to the Wisconsin state line." Sam tells us from the map he's looking at. "We'll get a room there." Dean tells me as he glances back and then back to the road. "Okay." I answer them. I take out the full memory card and put it in its plastic case and inside the camera bag in a small zipper pocket. I take out the 16 GB card and put it in the camera. I put the camera back into the camera case and stick the camera case in my duffel bag so it doesn't get stolen or lost. Dean turns on the radio and classic rock fills the car. It only takes about an hour and we stop to get something to eat at a diner. It's one of those tourist ones in a town called Marshfield, Wisconsin.
I didn't even pay attention to the name of it. It was nice and sat down in a booth. Sam was across from us and Dean and I sat together facing the door. I notice that Dean is always facing the door so he can keep an eye on who comes and who leaves.
The waitress was a tall redhead and she was very pretty with brown eyes. I look at the name tag and it says Megan. She tries to flirt with Sam, but he either is ignoring it or feels embarrassed about it. I watch as she turns her attention to Dean. I watch and then just look down at the menu.
The waitress is nice to Sam and Dean, but when she looks me up and down and then at the Sam and Dean and then back at me, she gives me this snotty look. She takes our orders and I stick my menu back in the stand. "So Sam what did you find out about me?"
I ask him. He clears his throat. "Well I found a missing person's report and you fit the description and the photo looks just like you." Sam tells me as he fiddles with the napkin. "Oh." I reply as I take a drink of the water next to me.
"Do you have a city or town where I was living?" I ask as the food arrives with the bill. Sam nods his head. "Madison." He answers as he grabs the ketchup and squirts some on the plate next to his fries. I take the ketchup from him and use it and set it down.
Dean pulls out some money and sets it on the table with a small tip after we eat. I was almost tempted to take the tip from the table and keep it, but I didn't. We leave and get into the Impala. Sam pulls out a map and uses his finger to see how far it will be. "Okay we should get there in 2 hours." Sam tells us.
Sam folds the map up and sticks it in the glove compartment. Dean turns the radio on and classic music fills the car. I lean back and look around as we drive out of the parking lot. "I hope I find out who I am." I think to myself.
The first thing we do when we get to Madison is get a room at a motel. We drop off our stuff and head to the police station. I didn't leave my camera at the motel, because I don't trust that place. I have it around my neck.
(Please note: I'm using Madison as the place I live, just because it's the place where I met Christian Bale on 5-5-08 while he was filming Public Enemies at the state capitol and in honor that this year it will the 5 year mark.)
