² Deception - Dean Winchester

Forty-Two

Jenny yawned as she drove down the dark road, Dean next to her, half asleep, as Sam was passed out in the back.

"I think we should—" She yawned again. "—should find a motel soon. I don't know how much longer I can drive." Jenny told Dean, who rubbed his eyes as he tried to stay awake.

"Sounds like a plan. This case can wait until morning." He spoke groggily, leaning his head back.

Jenny blinked slowly, feeling her eyes grow heavy before snapping back open, jerking the Impala to the side as she had nearly hit a woman. "Jesus Christ!" She yelled, slamming on the brakes and causing Sam and Dean to jolt awake.

"Jenny what the fu—" Before Dean could finish his sentence Jenny was pointing, and a woman pounded on the passenger window, startling Dean.

"Does she know she's dead?" Jenny raised her brows as she whispered. The woman kept slapping the window, and Dean finally rolled it down.

"You've got to help me. Please. Please!" The woman cried as Dean raised a hand up.

"All right, all right. Calm down, calm down. Tell us what happened."

———

Jenny had parked the Impala on the side of the road, the four of them now standing around it.

"I-I swerved, a-And we crashed. And when I came to, the car was wrecked and my husband was missing. I went looking for him, but that's when the man from the road, he... he started chasing me." The woman explained as Jenny had already guessed who she was by the feeling in her gut, giving Sam and Dean that single look.

Dean shoved his hands in his pockets, sighing. "Did he look like he lost a fight with a lawn mower?"

The woman frowned at Dean, confused. "How—How did you know that?"

"Lucky guess."

"Ma'am, what's your name?" Sam asked quietly, the woman turning to him.

"Molly. Molly Mcnamara." Jenny pressed her lips together tightly, looking over at Dean again, then to Sam, who had the same look.

"I think maybe you should come with us. We'll take you back into town." Sam suggested, gesturing to the car. Molly shook her head quickly, jumping back.

"I can't! I have to find David. He might have gone back to the car." Molly turned back to the woods, worried.

"We should get you somewhere safe first. Then Dean, Jennifer and I will come back. We'll look for your husband." Sam reassured, but Molly was persistent, still shaking her head.

"No. I'm not leaving here without him. Would you just take me back to my car, please?" The three Hunters sighed quietly, nodding.

Jenny, Sam, Dean and Molly walked through the woods, Molly occasionally looking back to them as if she was afraid they would abandon her. "It's right over there."

They finally made it to the crash site, Molly pausing in confusion when her car wasn't there. "I-I don't understand. I'm sure this is where it was. W-We hit that tree right there. This... this doesn't make any sense." Molly went forward to investigate, just out of earshot.

"Guys, we got to get out of here. Greeley could show up at any second." Sam stated, noticing Jenny was staring at Molly with a strange look. "Jenny?"
