While Dean's driving so far away, stalling with time. He pulled over to the gasoline station in the middle of nowhere. Sam was focused on his palm pilot while Karina was counting the strings of her hair, bored. She wanted to get out with a mission now.

"All right. I figure we'd hit Tucumcari by lunch, then head south, hit Bisbee by midnight." Dean looked at Sam whose focus was on the palm pilot, not responding to him. "Sam wears women's underwear."

Karina laughed softly and Sam replied to Dean, "I'm listening, I'm just busy."

Karina comes to the front and sees what Sam was doing, since she's bored out of her mind, "With what, Sam?"

"Reading emails."

Dean got out of the car and started to fill the tank with gas. "Emails from who?"

"From my friends at Stanford."

"You're kidding. You still keep in touch with your college buddies?"

"Why not?"

"Well, what exactly did you tell them? You know, about where you've been, what you've been doing?"

"I tell them I'm on a road trip with my big brother. I told them I needed some time off after Jess."

"Well, so you lie to them."

Sam defended, "No. I just don't tell them... Everything."

Karina looked at Sam, "I'm sorry to tell you this, but that is the definition of lying. I get it, and so does Dean. It just reacts worse when you tell them the truth."

Sam asked Karina, "What am I supposed to do? Just cut everybody out of my life?" Karina went silent and Sam looked at Dean who shrugged him. "You're serious?"

"Look, it sucks. But in a job like that, you can't get close to people."

Sam looked down at his PalmPilot, and Karina looked at Dean, "Is it just me or you're really antisocial?"

"Yeah, whatever. You're too, by the way."

"At least, I'm giving... more than you."

Sam got a beep from his palm pilot and he reacted to what he read. Karina and Dean looked over what he was reacting to. Sam explained to them, "This email from this girl Rebecca Warren, one of those friends of mine."

Dean asked, "Is she hot?" Karina glared at him, and Sam continued.

"I went to school with her and her brother, Zach. She says Zach's been charged with murder. He had been arrested for killing his girlfriend. Rebecca said that he didn't do it, but it sounds like the cops have a pretty good case."

"Dude, what kind of people are you hanging out with?"

Sam looked at Dean, "No, man. I know Zach. He's no killer."

"Well, maybe you know Zach, as well as he, knows you."

"They're in St. Louis. We're going."

Karina smiled, "Yay! Something to do!"

Dean chuckled, "Hold up, hold up. Look, I'm sorry about your buddy, ok? But it does not sound like our problem."

"It is our problem. They're my friends."

"St. Louis is 400 miles behind us, Sam." Sam gave Dean a look, and Karina looked between them.

Karina pointed out, "You did drag Sam away from Stanford, so he should have a chance to meet up with his friends. Right?" Dean gave a moment to think, but he gave in with Sam's face and Karina's point. He drove to St. Louis.
