Let Me Down Slowly Δ SPN [ 2 ]

chapter twenty-six

The four are at a restaurant and Kevin proposed going to check on his mom.

"Are you kidding me? You're kidding me." Dean says with his mouth full of burger.

"What? Is it too much to ask if we can swing by and check on my mom?" Kevin asks.

"Swing by? It's a day's drive in the opposite direction. You know that, right?" Dean asks.

"Yes. I understand we're in a hurry." Kevin says.

"Okay, well, then, what's the problem?"

"Channing's broken neck is my problem! As in I'd rather not see my mom twisted into a corkscrew."

"Kid's got a point, Dean." Sam sides with the prophet.

"Stay out of this." Dean tells his brother. "Kevin, your mom is fine."

"How can you possibly know that?" Kevin asks.

"Because Crowley needs her to be, okay? In fact, he's probably got the place stacked with bodyguards right now, protecting her so that when you do show up, they'll pounce on you both." Dean says.

"is that supposed to make me feel better?" Kevin asks.

"She's bait, man, plain and simple. And you want to swim right up and bite the hook? Look, we have got Crowley by the short and curlies, okay? All we need to do is find the tablet, whip up the sell, and-- boom!-- sunshine and sandy beaches."

"Dean, my mom's all alone. She's surrounded by demons. Can you really not understand why I want to make sure she's okay?"

Dean looks at Sam who shrugs.

"I would wanna check on daddy if I had to deal with that." Evie says, eating her french fry. Dean sighs, slightly rolling his eyes.

"Son of a bitch." He grumbles. "Fine. Let's go."

They get to Kevin's house and are parked across the street. They're looking at the house, Sam having binoculars, but Evie is coloring.

"Tiger mom, 9:00." Sam says.

"Where?" Kevin asks, grabbing the binoculars.

"Left window." Sam says and Kevin looks.

"She seems okay. Sad... but okay." Kevin says.

"Check out the mailman." Dean says.

"Yeah, that's Carl. So what?" Kevin asks.

"Yeah, well, Carl's filled your mom's mailbox three times since we've been sitting here." Dean says.

"He's a demon?" Kevin asks.

"And see the gardener?" Dean asks. "Think that plant needs any more water?"

After killing the demons before having Kevin knock on the door. It opens to reveal his mom.
