Our Journey

17

Dean stopped the Impala in the Carlton driveway, the trio stepped out of the car heading towards the house but Felix heard a boat. She turned and bolted towards the lake,

"MR. CARLTON!"

"Felix, wait", Dean shouted running after her. Felix went to dive in but Dean caught her before she could,
"NO!", he said to her.

"COME OUT OF THE WATER!"

"TURN THE BOAT AROUND!"

No matter how much they yelled for him to turn, the man just wouldn't. But all of a sudden, a force hit the boat that sent Bill flying and sucked him under the surface. Felix was shocked, her heart clenched painfully. Another life was lost......

Felix numbly got out of the Impala as they were escorted back to the police station. Dean pulled her into his side kissing her head,
"It's going to be alright", he mumbled. She nodded following after them, entering the station.

"Sam? Felix? Dean? I didn't expect to see you here", Andrea Barr says with a smile. The sheriff looked between them,

"So now you're on a first-name basis...", he asked gazing at the hunter,
"What are you doing here?".

Andrea sighed,
"I brought you dinner", she explained holding up a brown paper bag. Felix looked at Lucas who sat in a chair, his body language showed he was somewhat distressed.

"Oh, I'm sorry sweetheart, I don't really have the time", the sheriff says pulling out a file.

Felix stared at Andrea with a soft look before Andrea looked back to her father,
"I heard about Bill Carlton. Is it true? Is something going on with the lake?"...

The sheriff sighed, "Right now, we don't know what the truth is", he stares at his daughter, "But I think it might be better if you and Lucas went home", he said. Lucas abruptly looks at his grandpa before getting up moving Dean out of the way and tugging on Felix's jacket desperately,

"Handsome, hey, what is it?", she asked seeing his eyes. She caressed his cheek calming him down, "Handsome?", she called to him again as Andrea helped to ease the hold he had on her.
"Hey, it's okay. You're okay", she smiled sadly. Felix could feel it, something bad was gonna happen to his mom.

Andrea had decided it was best to leave so Felix had watched Lucas who kept staring right at her as his mom pulled him away. She could see Lucas was hesitant to leave but she smiled softly with a small nod.
Dean watches the boy who kept looking at Felix as they disappeared out of sight,
"Felix...you okay?", he asked. She shook her head turning to face him,
"No. Remember my dreams about how I sort of saw what was happening?", she looked up at Dean who frowned with a nod,

"Well, the look in Lucas's eyes...Dean, I felt it. I felt something awful was going to happen", she says softly.

Dean tucked a strand of hair behind her ear,
"I know. I could tell something was wrong", he sighed, "Nothing's going to happen babe", he said. Felix rubs her hands together,

"We don't know that Dean. Can we please check on them after this?", she questioned seeing him nod. He pulled her gently into the sheriff's office.

"Okay, just so I'm clear, you see...something attacked Bill's boat, sending Bill, who is a very good swimmer, by the way, into the drink, and you never see him again?", the sheriff says sitting on the edge of his desk.

"Yeah", Dean looks at Sam who nods, "that about sums it up".

"And I'm supposed to believe this, even though I've already sonar-swept that entire lake, and what your describing is impossible and you're not really wildlife service?", the sheriff explained.
Dean frowned while Felix looked to Sam who shook his head,
"that's right. I checked. The departments never heard of you three" he says.

Dean pointed to Sam,

"See? Now we can explain that", he says but the sheriff cut him off, "Enough, please", he sighed, "the only reason you're breathing free air is one of Bill's neighbors saw him steering out that boat just before you did. So, we have a couple of options here. I can arrest you for impersonating government officials and hold you as material witnesses to Bill Carlton's disappearance. Or, we can chalk this all up to a bad day, you get into your car, you put this town in your review mirror, and you don't ever darken my doorstep again", he glared at the trio. 

Felix nodded with her own glare,

"Door number two sounds good", Sam stated standing up along with Felix as Dean scoffed under his breath.

The sheriff still glared at them,
"that's the one I'd pick", he quietly says.
