Work Week

It was unusual for Dean to complain of nausea, so when he did, then asked Sam to drive, his brother took notice.

Technically, this was Monday night.

And after Dean jolted awake 45 minutes later and yelled, "Pull over now!" Sam made the decision to call it a night.

Or rather, a Tuesday morning.

Dean's raging fever caused delirium and kept Sam hopping as he fought to keep it below 104. When it finally broke, Sam couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry, so he did both.

That was Thursday night.

Today, two exhausted brothers work on recovery.

Thank God for Friday.
