A/N: So two updates so close together? I know I'm surprising even myself. Anyway I didn't get many reviews last chapter and I would love to see more come in.

"God I thought he would never leave." Caleb said flicking the TV on and flipped to HBO plopping down next to Dean who was starting wake up on the couch.
"Sam, Caleb will be here at three to pick you up and I'll be home at five. If you need me you know my phone number." Tony said straightening out an absent wrinkle in Sam's jacket as they stood in the lobby of Garrison Elementary School where Sam was now attending.
"Ok. Can I go now?" Sam begged bouncing from foot to foot.
"Have fun today. I expect a full report tonight." Tony said smiling and standing up.
"See you later Tony." Sam said with a smile and went with Mr. Collins his new teacher.

Tony pulled into the parking garage at NCIS just as he got a call from Gibbs.
"Winchester where are you? We got a case." Gibbs asked rather impatiently.
"In the garage boss." Tony answered stepping away from his car and walking towards the elevator.
"Meet us at the car." Gibbs ordered and hung up.
"I can tell his in a great mood today."
Walking over to the agency sedan he leaned up against it and waited for the team to show up.
"Come on McGee let me drive I'm pretty sure Gibbs wants us to get there before next week." Kate argued trying to get the keys from her partner's grasp.
"I don't think so Kate." McGee said backing up and raising the keys above his head leaving them wide open to Tony.
"Thanks Probie." Tony smiled and headed to the driver's side door with the newly acquired keys.
As they got in Tony realized they were one member short, "Where's Gibbs?"
"He said he would meet us there." Kate answered as they pulled out of the parking garage.
"Do you know where we are going?" Tony asked as he pulled past the security check point of the Navy yard and was stuck deciding which direction to go.
"Anacostia Park." McGee answered and annoyed at being relegated to the backseat.

"Thanks for letting me know Josh. Yes I'll be sure to take care of the problem. Uh huh. Yeah I'll let Tony know." Caleb said into his cell phone and hung up.
"Looks like I'm taking you to work Deano."
Dean looked away from the TV where Die Hard was playing and watched Caleb. This being the most alertness he had shown since John's death.
"Damn Martin messed up Josh's ammo order and nearly got him killed." Caleb said pulling on his jacket and got Dean's out of the hall closet for the teen to put on, "I need to go in and take care of business and your coming with."
Dean sat stubbornly on the couch and shook his head.
"Come on I don't have time for this. Die Hard will still be here when we get back. This will only take a little while and we can get pizza on our way back." Caleb bribed glancing at his watch and seeing that it was nearing noon and getting close to time for Dean to take his medicine.
Shaking his head again Dean leaned back into the couch.
"Don't make me call Tony. You wouldn't want him or maybe even Gibbs to come and make you come with me would you? Because I know and you know that they would and besides if we go now I won't make you take your medicine until we get back."
The last part caught Dean's attention and he turned to study the older man to see if he was lying.
"I'm not lying. I need to go and take care of the shop before Martin gives me a bad name and I lose any more business."
Getting up Dean made his way over to his jacket somewhat more steadily and less wheezy then he had been lately and put it on.
"Thank you Dean."

"Matthew Allen."
Sam looked up from where he was eating lunch to face one of the boys from his class holding out his hand to him, "Sam Winchester."
"Can I sit here?"
Sam laughed and looked at the empty table that surrounded him, "I don't know it looks pretty crowded." Sam joked.
"You're funny." Matthew said sitting down and throwing his lunch box onto the table in front of him, "So where did you move here from?"
"My Dad worked as a mechanic so we moved around a lot. We never stayed anywhere for long." Sam answered looking down at his pizza slice squishing on his lunch tray.
"So you're not going to be here for long?"
"I'm living with my brother now and he said that I don't have to move anymore." Sam answered opening his milk carton.
"I'm glad you're staying." Matthew said sliding over half of his chocolate Swiss roll.

"Hey Boss what do we have?" Tony yelled jogging up to where he saw his boss talking to a local cop.
"We got a hit and run. The victim is on route to the hospital but her injuries are not life threatening. What don't you and McGee head over to the hospital and get her statement. Let Kate know on your way through." Gibbs instructed as he walked over to the yellow crime scene tape.
"On it boss." Tony yelled to Gibbs's back as he grabbed McGee, "Gibbs wants us to get a witness statement at the hospital. I'll brief you on the way. "
"I guess that means I'm on Gibbs duty." Kate said slumping slightly because Gibbs didn't seem to be in a good mood when they left and she was hoping to not have to deal with a grumpy Gibbs.
"Good luck."
Walking over to the car McGee caught up and grabbed the keys that were hanging loosely from Tony's fingers, "Ha! Now you have to ride with me."
"And you say I act childish." Tony muttered under his breath but got into the passenger side.
They had just got into the heavy downtown traffic when McGee spoke up, "So how are your brothers doing? I bet Sam was excited for school today."
"Yeah the kid wouldn't stop talking about it all week and then this morning he was all worried about whether his school would have a math club. Sam is such a nerd." Tony said with a smile and checked his watch and saw that it was nearing noon and thought that he should probably call Caleb to remind him to pick Sam up at 3:00.
"Earth to Tony." McGee said waving his hand in front of Tony's face trying to get his attention.
"What?"
"I said we're here thought you might like to know."
"Thanks Probie." Tony said grabbing his bag and followed McGee in through the hospital doors. Ones they had just visited not a week before. Tony froze thinking about how just last week he and his brothers were sitting in the chairs lined up against the walls waiting for help and suffering through the fresh loss of their father.
"You ok Tony?" McGee asked noticing the halt in motion behind him and came to put a hand on the younger man's shoulder.
Shaking his head to release the memories, "Yeah I'm fine McGee now let's get to work."

"Martin get your ass out here!" Caleb yelled as he opened the door for his ammunition business. Caleb waited for Dean to trail in behind him before letting the heavy glass door slam shut behind him.
Just as it slammed shut causing Dean to jump, a mousy middle aged man stepped out from a door behind the desk in the front of the room, "Caleb what are you doing here?"
"What do you think?" Caleb growled pacing closer to the desk.
"I thought you said you were staying on the west coast until spring? I have everything under control here. Nothing to worry about." Martin nervously replied trying not look into his bosses intimidating eyes.
"Really? You have everything under control."
"Yes I do sir. No problems whatsoever."
"Then would you like to tell me why Josh called earlier today saying that the batch of ammo he picked up here last week wasn't right? Nearly got him and Oliver killed! Would you like to explain that?" Caleb threatened volume rising with each word.
"Josh who?" Martin had the nerve to ask.
"Josh who! JOSH WHO!" Caleb yelled getting right into the older man's face. Risking a glimpse away quickly he noticed Dean beginning to cower away from the two hunters and heated argument, "I'm not done with you." Caleb said pointing a finger at his soon to be former assistant.
"Hey Dean; why don't we go to my office and you can lay down until I'm done here." He asked grabbing onto Dean's sweatshirt and helping him to his office which boasted a nice leather sofa that he had taken advantage of on more than one occasion.
After he had gotten Dean settled on the couch and had time to calm down Caleb paced dangerously back out to Martin, "Your fired."
"What?"
"Don't ask again. You have two minutes to gather your crap and get out of my sight. I don't ever want to see your ugly mug again and I'll make sure Bobby knows what happened and passes the word along."
"But I don-"
"1:59." Caleb started the countdown and Martin was out of there before he finished counting.

Sam was packing his backpack for the night when Mr. Collins came over to kneel besides his desk.
"Yes Mr. Collins?" Sam questioned looking over to see what his teacher needed. Sam had really enjoyed the class today and was looking forward to see what the rest of the year would be like.
"I just wanted to see how you are doing? Do you understand everything we are doing?"
"Yeah we just started learning all of this at my last school and everyone has been really nice to me so far. I even sat my Matthew at lunch today he was really friendly."
"Well it's good to hear that." Mr. Collins said getting up and started to walk back to his desk, "Have a good afternoon Sam."
"You too Mr. Collins." Sam waved as he walked out of the classroom to the lobby where Caleb would be waiting.

"That was the easiest case we have had in like forever." Tony said spinning around in his office chair as he waited for his case report to finish printing so he could go home.
"That's easy for you to say. You didn't have to put up with cranky Gibbs all afternoon." Kate complained and was surprised when she felt a sharp whack to the back of her head.
"Ow!" Kate whined rubbing the back of her head.
"Ha! Now you know how I feel." Tony said jumping up and walking over to grab his paper from the printer and signed it before setting it on Gibbs's now occupied desk.
"Looks good Tony. Go home. The rest of you can leave when you are done with your reports." Gibbs said starting up his computer and started the dreaded typing of his case report.

Caleb was brought out of his musings by the ringing of his cell phone and picked it before checking to see who it was, "What!"
"That bad huh?" Tony asked as he drove towards the elementary school to pick Sam up.
"It's been a long day." Caleb replied trying to decipher Martin's hand writing on the order forms lying scattered on the front desk.
"I was calling to let you know I'm picking Sam up so you don't need to worry about it." Tony said as he pulled into the school parking lot.
"Shit! I totally forget about Sam. I'm sorry. I had to fire Martin today so I have been at the office trying to figure out everything and get the new orders ready. It's a mess." Caleb complained leaning back and rubbing a hand over his face.
"Do you have Dean with you?" Tony asked shutting off the car.
"Yeah. He's sleeping and I was in such a rush this morning I forget to get him to take his medicine. So he has been pretty out of it."
"As long as we don't tell Ducky about the medicine I think we should be ok. There are only a couple of more doses left anyway."
"Hey do you think you could come pick him up on your back home? I think he would much rather be in bed then here listening to me curse Martin's horrible hand writing."
Tony laughed before replying, "Sure. Did you want anything?"
"Coffee. Lots of Coffee." Caleb answered.
"I'll see what I can do." Tony said hanging up.

Sam walked into the lobby and was surprised to see Tony leaning up against the doors playing on his phone, "Tony, what are you doing here?"
Snapping his phone shut Tony walked forward to meet his brother, "Don't you want to see me?"
"Of course I do. I just thought Caleb and Dean were going to be here."
"Caleb got held up and I got done early. So we are going to pick Dean up from Caleb's office on our way home. "
When they got to the Mustang Sam got in the back seat and buckled up while Tony started out of the parking lot, "How was your day?"
"I met a new friend today his name is Matthew."
"Well maybe you can have him over sometime." Tony offered remembering his sleepovers with his friends before the fire and he hoped that maybe Sam could have something normal like that for himself.
"Really? That would be so cool Tony!" Sam yipped in excitement, "Did you know that they have a math club here? And Mr. Collins is in charge."
"See I told you they would have one." Tony said as he pulled into a McDonalds drive-thru hoping to get supper and Caleb's coffee out of the way in one stop, "What would you like for supper Sam?"
"Chicken nuggets."
Tony ordered everyone's meal and Caleb four large coffees figuring that should be enough and paid for the meal before heading back out onto the highway.
"I need to stay after school on Monday and Wednesdays for math club." Sam piped up from the back seat as they pulled into the warehouse parking lot.
"Ok I'll see what me and Caleb can come up with." Tony offered, "Wait here I'll be back in a minute."
Tony picked Caleb's bag and tray of coffee before getting out of the car and making his way into the office.
"I come baring gifts." Tony said setting the tray and fast food bag down in front of Caleb.
"You are a life saver Winchester." Caleb said taking a large gulp of coffee before starting again, "Dean's in the back room. I don't think I'll be home tonight so don't wait for me."
"Ok."
Tony left Caleb to continue his work and went into the back office to rouse Dean and get him back home. Walking into the office he knelt next to the couch and shook Dean awake, "Come on kid lets go home."
