After spending the day with Dean coming up with a plan, John pulled up to the museum at 5 till midnight. Burt arrived 3 minutes later.
"Where's Dean?" he asked.
"Dean's not coming. It's bad enough you have one of my sons, but I won't put the other one in danger."
"Well, I'll have to make Sammy pay for that disobedience before I let him go," Burt said matter-of-factly.
"Let's just do this."
Burt and John broke into the museum to complete their job, while Dean snuck out of the shadows, and attached a tracking device to Burt's Jeep. He went back to his hiding and waited for his father and Burt to emerge from the museum, which they did 15 minutes later.
"You'll let Sam go?" John asked.
"I will," Burt lied, "I will have to hurt him for your disobedience, though."
"Please don't," John begged.
Burt laughed. "If I see you trying to follow me, I won't go back to him and he'll starve to death," Burt warned.
"I understand," John acquiesced.
As soon as Burt had left, John ran to join Dean. They followed using the tracking device and stayed far enough behind to avoid detection.
"He's turned off into the woods," Dean announced a few minutes later.
"We'll have to get out and hike in, we'll never make into these woods without four-wheel drive," John lamented.
