Dean paced back and forth along the balcony he couldn't sit inside anymore there were to many people just waiting for Spencer to finish reading that journal. He knew that Spencer wouldn't find much hell he had been going over in his own mind that amount of people that had seen or been left behind from hunts. That wasn't anything knew Dean had been thinking about that for some time since he had been hunted down by the son of a monster he had killed.
"Sometimes this line of work sucks" Rossi said coming out to stand beside him.
"Tell me about it" Dean said stopping and leaning against the railing. They were standing outside a dingy motel room on a balcony that connected all the second story rooms. The paint was peeling and all but two letters of the neon sign where out. It was dark out, darker than it should have been but then again half the lights in the parking lot where out.
"You know Dean, it's hard for us to accept this all. It's not that we don't believe you don't misunderstand me. We do believe you but all of this is hard to digest. What you guys do, how you guys work, it's hard for any of us to imagine the life you boys lead." Rossi said glancing sideways at the eldest brother.
"Is it really so different than what you do?" Dean asked turning to face Rossi, he leaned on the rail and folded his arms a crossed his chest. "We crisscross the country hunting monsters and taking them down. So we drive, you guys fly all over hunting down the monsters and bringing them to justice. We just hunt different monsters though admittedly some of them are probably a mixture of both our monsters" Dean said shrugging. "We aren't so different Agent Rossi. We do research and we think through our strategies, we work as a team my brother and I. Our world may be filled with the supernatural but we aren't so different."
Rossi nodded for a moment considering his words carefully. "You have a point, the difference is though is I represent the law and you break it."
"Well if you want to be technical yes, but what would you have us do? There is no supernatural police. There is no X-Files, no Scully or Mulder. Just honest people hunting down the things that have destroyed their lives. We do this so that others can live in blissful ignorance. Our experience is that most people, most normal people can't handle the supernatural and what it entails. So yes, I admit- I break the law. I break the law to protect good innocent people. I break the law so that I can get those monsters under the bed and the things that go bump in the night and if the law comes around and decides that I need to pay up while then so be it but locking me up doesn't save little Johnny and his mommy from the vampires and skin walkers."
Rossi nodded, "You're okay Dean" he said patting him on the back and turning to go back inside.
"Hi" Sam said with a half smile to Rossi as he passed him in the doorway. "Spencer's almost done but I really don't think he's going to find us a lead." he said when Rossi was back inside.
"I agree, what are we missing Sammy?" Dean asked turning back to face the parking lot.
"The Angel's, they were found going about their normal lives but it hadn't been reported to the authorities that they were back." Sammy said thinking out loud. "The hunters, they were working a case, if you know what you are looking for tracking a Hunter wouldn't be hard we go where the activity is."
Dean looked at Sam and grinned he pushed off the rail and went back inside, "Hey Hotch can you get a hold of your tech lady?" Dean asked.
"Sure" Hotch said pulling out his phone and looking a little suspicious. He punched in Garcia's number and she answered on the third ring. "Hold on Garcia" He put it on speaker and set it on the table in front of Dean.
"Hi Ms. Garcia this is Dean Winchester" he said glancing at his brother who was right behind him.
"Hello Mr. Winchester" She said a little panic came through in her voice.
"Easy Momma he's a good guy" Morgan said reassuring her.
"Right, um what can I do for you Mr. Winchester?" she asked.
"First call me Dean my dad was Mr. Winchester. Second I need you to do your tech thing for me." He said sitting in a chair. The others crowded around to listen except for Spencer who was almost finished with the journal.
"Okay Dean fire away" She sounded more confident now.
"Alright so let's start with our Angel's here can you run the names of everyone who worked the missing person's cases for them and see if any match?" He asked.
"I should be able to" he could hear the keyboard going a mile a minute in the background. "Okay I have three matching names" she said.
"Now the demon that was killed what was his name... Mario something" He said
"Right Mario Buchelli, he was reported missing, then he returned but he went from super awesome pillar of the community to a really bad guy when he came back. He has a long rap sheet and was being investigated by the FBI" Garcia said looking at the screen in front of her. "Oh, two of the agents match on the missing person's case." she said her voice getting high.
"Are both agents still with the FBI?" he asked.
"No, one retired the other was fired 4 weeks ago for trying to strangle a suspect." She replied.
"Send that one's information to Hotch." Dean said, "Thanks ma'am appreciate your help you may have just solved this case."
"Oh, um you're welcome" she said a little breathy.
Hotch pulled out his tablet and turned it on. He opened the email from Garcia and passed it to Dean. "What made you think he's FBI? Why didn't you say anything to me about it?"
"Honestly it's the only way I could think that they would be able to track all these people that were missing. Sorry for not telling you we are still working on this trust issue between us. You guys are FBI and well I didn't want you to shoot down the idea." Dean said looking over the file. "Says here he was top of his academy class, both parents were killed when he was 7 by... looks here like home invasion. Oh, damn" Dean showed the tablet to Sam.
"Those are werewolf bites. Says here they were camping and attacked the family made it out alive with minor injuries some bites but they couldn't identify it. Kid was the only one not bit. The family was killed one month later by a home invasion... Says here they were covered in someone else blood... Sounds like a hunter got them after they changed and made their first kill." Sam said reading the file.
"This is our guy" Dean said looking at Hotch. "George Jaeger"
"Are you sure?" Hotch asked.
"You said Jaeger?" Spencer asked setting the journal down. "That family is mentioned, in the journal, they assisted on a case for a hunter named Bobby. We should probably find this other hunter."
"That's not going to be a problem" Dean said looking down.
"He could be our unsubs next target" Spencer insisted
"No he's not" Dean said turning away.
"How can you..." Spencer started.
"Because Bobby is dead" Sam said looking over at his brother. "He was killed a few years ago, he was like a father to us"
"Oh, I'm sorry" Spencer said looking down.

He didn't know how long he stood there. It wasn't like he was watching the time. He had known he was being followed and now he knew for sure that damn Impala was parked outside another motel room. It had to be hunters, there was no other explanation. Sitting there watching that car waiting for them to come out. He had no way of knowing which room they where in. He saw someone come out stand braced against the rail he knew right away that he was a hunter. His short cropped hair, jeans, and utility jacket gave him away. He moved to strike to capture him but another man walked outside. They were talking and there was something off about this man, he conveyed wisdom and understanding. They spoke for a few moments but he couldn't hear what they were saying. Minutes later the older man walked back inside and a younger man walked out. This man was also a hunter, there was just some way he could feel it deep in his bones. As he moved closer waiting for the right moment they turned and went back inside. Cursing under his breath he was content to wait it out.

"Come on Dean" Hotch said gently directing him towards the door. "Why don't we go get some food for everyone, we have a lot of information to sift through" He said trying to give the eldest brother an out.
Dean nodded, "Okay"
"We'll be back guys" Hotch closed the door behind them.
"Let's take baby" Dean said walking down the stairs.
"You named your car baby?" Hotch asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well yeah, she is my baby" Dean gave a smile and a wink as they got in the car. He fired up the engine and backed her out of the spot. "Thanks for getting me out of there man, I'm not the one that's good with the research that's Sammy all the way."
"I understand, you two have a good team going." Hotch watched the road as they drove through town.
"Yeah most of the time" Dean nodded.
"You guys are brothers, brothers fight" Hotch respond catching the meaning.
"I suppose..."
"Don't move" A voice said behind them cocking a weapon. Dean could see out of the corner of his eye that there was a gun pointed at Hotch's head. The man produced a syringe and injected it into Hotch's neck. Hotch's head went forward Dean could still see he was breathing but unconscious.
"Who are you?" Dean demanded.
"You damn hunters" the man said with the gun pointed at Dean. "Pull over" he demanded.
"Not till you tell me who you are" Dean watched him in the rearview.
"Your end" the man said moving quickly and injecting Dean in the neck. The last thought he registered was 'we are going to crash' his eyes closed and he was out.
