Our Journey

13

Sam had watched as Dean would constantly check in the rearview to look at Felix while driving. He never knew his brother to be so in love with someone. He knew in high school Dean was a flirt and definitely not a one-girl type of guy, but she had changed him in a good way. But when he says Dean wasn't a one-girl type, he meant he would constantly see Dean talking to another girl, kind of like searching for that special one. Sam had heard Dean mention that he was a virgin still two years ago, so he turned with a curious look,

" Did Felix take your virginity?", he asked which caused Dean to choke.

"Yo, what the hell kind of question is that?", Dean looked at his brother perplexed.

Sam shrugged crossing his arms, "So, did she?", he asked.

Dean cleared his throat with a scoff, "that's not any of your business", he muttered looking ahead.

Sam laughed holding his chest, "Dude...you soo lost your virginity to her", he said earning a slap on the head. Dean grumbled under his breath,

"We both lost our virginity to each other", they looked back to see Felix rubbing her eyes, "Why are you even asking?", she looked at Sam who smirked over at Dean,

" Oh, nothing, a little birdy told me two years ago he was a virgin, so I'm just curious", he said chuckling.

Dean had punched Sam again in the arm, "Dude, shut up. Why is our sex life something you want to know?", he shook his head.

Felix smiled pushing Sam lightly, " I wouldn't be talking Sam, I'm sure you lost your's to that sweet gal Jess", she said which caused Sam to look away with a blush. Felix smiled leaning over the chair to pinch his cheeks as he swatted her hands away.

The ride to the police station was quiet, but once they got there, Dean woke up Felix again an hour later stating he needed her charms just in case things went south. Felix smiled flashing her badge to an officer who directed them to the sheriff.

"Now, I'm sorry, but why does the wildlife service care about an accidental drowning?", he asked opening the gate and leading them to his small office.

"You sure it was accidental?", Sam asked looking at the man. Felix pushed his arm,

"Sir, Will Carlton saw something grab his sister", she said following the sheriff.

"Like what?", he motioned to the chairs, "Here, please sit", he says. Felix thanked him quietly as Sam took a seat while Dean leaned against Felix's chair, "There are no indigenous carnivores in that lake. There's nothing even big enough to pull down a person unless it was the loch ness monster", the sheriff says.

Dean and Felix gave him a blank look, "Yeah, right", he said.

"Will Carlton was traumatized and sometimes the mind plays tricks", the sheriff states, "still, we dragged that entire lake. We even ran a sonar sweep just to be sure and there was nothing down there".

Felix sighed,

"That's weird though Sheriff. I mean, that's the third missing body this year", she says staring the sheriff in the face.

"I know", the sheriff says gravely, "these are people from my town. These are people I care about".

"We know, Sir", Felix nodded at the man.

"Anyway", the sheriff leans back with his hands up, "All this, it won't be a problem much longer", he sighs.

"What do you mean?", Dean asked confused.

"Well, the dam of course", the sheriff states.

Felix nodded knowingly along with Sam before Dean blurted out, " of course. The dam, it's uh...it sprung a leak".

"It's falling apart", the sheriff stares at Dean, "And the feds won't give us the grant to repair it, so they've opened the spillway. In another six months, there won't be much of a lake. There won't be much of a town, either, but as federal wildlife, you already knew that", he explains looking at each of them.

"Exactly", Dean stated as the door opened.

A young brunette walked in,

"Sorry, am I interrupting?".

Felix stood up with a gentle smile, "It's no problem", she says as the sheriff stood up, "This is my daughter", he introduced.

Felix shook the girl's hand, "Nice to meet you, I'm Felix", she says earning a smile from the woman, "Andrea Barr, hi", she said returning the smile. Dean raised an eyebrow at that action but the sheriff spoke up before he could give a remark, "There from the wildlife service about the lake", he says to which Andrea frowned a bit shocked, "Oh".

A young boy popped out from behind Andrea, and Felix smiled instantly, "Hi, there", she says looking down at the boy, "What's your name?", she asked but the boy looked at Felix before turning around and walking back out. Andrea smiled sadly at Felix before following after the boy.

"His name is Lucas", the sheriff spoke up.

"Is he okay?", Sam asked turning to look at the sheriff.

"My grandson's been through a lot", the sheriff stated, "we all have", he paused walking out from behind his desk, "Well, if there's anything else I can do for you, please let me know".

"Thank you", Felix smiles gently giving the sheriff's arm a gentle squeeze, "But since you kindly asked, can you point us in the direction of a reasonably priced motel?", she asked looking at Andrea who smiled.

"Lakefront motel- -go around the corner, it's two blocks up", Andrea says.

"Two- -would you mind showing us?", Dean asked seeing Felix wave at Lucas who they see give the tiniest wave back. Dean was slightly jealous that his girlfriend was what he thought flirting with others that's not him. Sam smirked at his brother's jealousy, "Another one bite's the dust", he commented earning a glare from Dean.

Sam had gently pulled Felix from Lucas who waved goodbye to her, "Bye handsome", she winked with a pout.

As they were walking, Felix decided to jump on Sam's back leaning her chin on his shoulder and feeling him hold onto her tightly,

"Well, thank god you're not heavy", he says earning a pinch from Felix. Dean's eyebrows were furrowed seeing his little brother piggyback his girlfriend.

"Lucas is so cute", Felix gushed to Andrea who smiled widely at her, "Thank you. He's never really interacted with anyone, so I'm surprised", she says.

"There it is", Andrea stops pointing to the motel.

Felix hopped down as Sam thanked her, "Enjoy your stay", she says walking away.

Sam looked over at Dean, "Kids are the best", he quoted, "Do you even like kids?". Felix gazed at Dean who scoffed, "LOVE KIDS", he exclaimed defensively.

"Name three children that you even know", Sam asked as Dean licked his lips holding his hand out to name them but Sam walked off. Dean scratched the top of his head, earning a laugh from Felix who followed Sam,

"I'm thinking", Dean called out before following behind them.
