CHAPTER 3
One month later…
"I don't do Canada" Dean said to Sam as they sat in a diner and ate breakfast. They were about fifty miles north of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, fresh off a hunt.
"What about Canada exactly, would stop us from going to a paid investigation?" Sam asked, looking at his brother as if he had just sprouted horns.
"Well it isn't Canada, so much as it's the people" Dean answered with a smirk. Sam rolled his eyes and swore under his breath. "What?" Dean said, defensively.
"Have you ever even been to Canada?" Sam asked him with exasperation.
"Yes, I've been to Canada" Dean answered silkily, sending a false smile his brother's way. "Too much French" he continued, looking down to his plate. Sam's eyes widened in understanding.
"Too much French or one particular French woman?" he asked Dean with a grin. Dean's head shot up quickly.
"Shut up" he said. Sam snickered. "That isn't shutting up" Dean said with a scowl. Sam burst out laughing.
"The chance of you bumping into this girl is s…" Sam began.
"No" Dean interrupted, putting his fork down and looking at his brother. "If it's in Montreal and its weird, then Justine will be there" he said, convinced.
"Justine huh?" Sam joked. Dean swore. "What happened?" Sam laughed.
"She couldn't take no for an answer" Dean said, his serious tone cutting off Sam's laugh. "That's over now. We'll head towards New York in hour" Dean got up and threw some bills onto the table. "Be ready" He walked out of the restaurant, leaving Sam alone.
"Are you finished sir?" The waitress had come up to the table as Dean had left. Her blond hair was caught in a pony tail and she smiled brightly at him. Sam smiled back at her. "Are you new here or just passing through?" she asked shyly, showing interest. Sam was about to answer, when he suddenly got a flash of her face framed by fire.
"Passing through" he said brusquely, taking out his wallet. The girls face fell and she pinkened. Sam squashed his guilt and paid his bill, leaving a big tip. He walked out quickly.
He couldn't date. As long as that thing was still out there, he couldn't risk it.
