Stronger Than Ever Δ SPN [3]

046. ZOMBIE BOYFRIEND

The three teenagers are in Ophelia's room and watching TV. Sam left in the middle of the night, leaving a note for Libby that he would be with Charlie. Part of him wanted to wake her up and make her come with him, just so he could keep an eye on her, his overprotectiveness spiking.

But he knows he can't crowd her and she'd still be safe with Ophelia and Nathan and then Dean when he got back from visiting Mary and Bobby.

Dean walks into the room.

"Hey." He greets the three. "Um... Jack and I are going on a hunt."

"You and Jack?" Ophelia asks.

"Yeah. So, uh... don't kill each other." Dean says.

"Can I go?" Libby asks, sitting up.

"You wanna go on the case with us?" Dean asks.

"Yeah." Libby nods.

"Um... sure." Dean agrees. He's not certain on how Sam will feel about it, but he agrees anyway.

Libby smiles and gets up, grabbing her phone.

"So, then if it's just you two..." Dean trails off, looking at the eighteen year olds. "Don't reproduce. And don't practice reproducing."

"Dad." Ophelia groans.

"I mean it." Dean orders.

"I-I-- we won't do anything." Nathan assures.

"Good. Cause I will shoot you." Dean tells him. Nathan salutes him and Dean leaves.

"See ya." Libby tells them.

Ophelia makes a kissy face and Libby hits her with a pillow.

The three walk into the diner, wearing FED looking outfits.

"This is Winston's favorite spot?" Dean asks.

"His obituary said he loved having breakfast here every morning, which is sort of oddly specific." Jack says.

"Yeah, when a young guy dies they never know what to put in those things." Dean says as they walk to the counter. "Hi there." He greets the waitress.

"Can I help you?" She asks.

"Yeah, Agent Barry, FBI. This is my partner, Agent Charles, and it's take your daughter to work day." Dean says. "Wondering if you could give us some details on a regular of yours, Winston Mathers."

"Sure, hon. Um, Detail one, Winston's dead. Detail two... ha, that's all the details." The waitress says.

"Winston, dead. No details." Jack mumbles as he writes in a small notebook, both Winchesters pushing his arm down.

"Uh, you know, you're gonna want to be a little more helpful than that." Dean says.

"Listen, deep state, flashing a badge might work on people who don't have a working knowledge of the constitution, but that ain't me." The woman says, getting a plate of food. "Now, I gotta go and earn some money."

"Or you can stay here and earn some money." Dean takes his wallet out, handing her some money. The waitress takes the cash and puts it in her apron.

"He, uh, came in every day like clockwork. But you really want to ask about Harper Sayles. Winston just started courting her." The waitress says.

"What's courting?" Jack asks.

"It's what you do before you start dating." Dean says.

"And that's the thing you do before the sex." Jack says. Libby snorts, covering it up with a cough.
