Lovely Δ SPN [ 1 ]

chapter twenty-four

"Deanie! Deanie!" Evie yells, jumping on her uncle's back, him groaning in pain.

"Why must you always wake me up like that?" Dean grumbles. "Go wake your dad up."

"Daddy not here." Evie says.

"What?" Dean asks, sitting up. Evie falls onto the bed beside him.

"He gone." Evie says.

"What the hell?" Dean mutters. "Come on." Dean picks her up and gets their stuff before leaving.

"I in PJs." Evie says.

"You'll live." Dean tells her, buckling her in her car seat.

Dean is under an underpass and is on the phone with Ellen. Evie is in her car seat and Dean has her window rolled down.

"Ellen, it's me again. Any chance you've heard from him?" "I swear, it's like looking for my dad all over again. I'm losing my mind here." "No, I've called him a thousand times, there's nothing but voicemail. I don't know where he went or why. Sam's just gone." Dean's phone beeps. "hang on." He looks to see an incoming call from Sam and immediately answers it. "Sammy? Where the hell are you? Are you okay?" "Hey, hey, hey! Calm down. Where are you? All right, don't move, I'm on my way."

They get to the motel Sam told Dean he's at. Dean grabs Evie and rushes inside, banging on Sam's motel door.

"Sam, it's me. Sam!" Dean calls. He walks in after finding the door unlocked and Sam is sitting at the end of a bed, not moving. "Sam? Hey."

"Hey, Dean." Sam greets.

"Are you bleeding?" Dean asks, kneeling beside him, putting Evie down, seeing the blood on Sam's hand and some on his clothes.

"I tried to wash it off." Sam says. Dean spots Sam's shirt covered in blood and grasps at it, looking for a wound. "I don't think it's my blood."

"Whose is it?" Dean asks. Evie holds her arms out for Sam to hold her, but he makes no movement. Evie settles for hugging his leg.

"I don't know." Sam says.

"Sam, what the hell happened?" Dean asks.

"Dean. I don't remember anything." Sam states, looking at his brother.

Dean walks in carrying a grocery bag, a liter of soda, and Evie.. Sam changed his clothes and seems a bit better. Evie wanted to stay with Sam, but he wasn't sure about it so he made her go with Dean.

"What'd you find out?" Sam asks as Dean puts his niece and everything else down.

"You checked in two days ago under the Richard Sambora. Of course, I think the scariest part about this whole thing is the fact that you've a Bon Jovi fan." Dean says.

"Dean." Sam sighs. Evie walks over to him and holds her arms out, wanting him to hold her. Sam debates before picking her up and she immediately hugs him tightly, resting her head on his shoulder.
