Hunter's Daughter

Dead In The Water

There is a mostly empty plate in front of Dean, who is circling obituaries in a newspaper. Sam was trying to feed Alexandra who was refusing to eat her oatmeal. No matter what Sam tried to do. Between eating it first or doing the airplane his daughter would not open her mouth. She just gave him a look between defiance and utter disgust.

An attractive waitress, whose nametag says Wendy, approaches the table of three "Can I get you anything else?

Dean looks up and grins around the pen he's chewing on but Sam quickly ruins Dean's suggestive train of thought. He turns and looks at the waitress all but giving up on feeding Alexandra.

"Just the check, please"

Wendy looks a little disappointed before sporting a smile and agreeing. As she walked go Dean drops his head, then looks at Sam.

"You know, Sam, we are allowed to have fun once in a while" Dean points to Wendy walking away; she's wearing short short "That's fun"

Sam looks at him and Dean hands Sam the newspaper.

"Here, take a look at this, I think I got one. Lake Manitoc, Wisconsin. Last week Sophie Carlton, eighteen, walks into the lake, doesn't walk out. Authorities dragged the water; nothing. Sophie Carlton is the third Lake Manitoc drowning this year. None of the other bodies were found either. They had a funeral two days ago"

"A funeral?"

"Yeah, it's weird, they buried an empty coffin. For, uh, closure or whatever"

"Closure?" Sam snorts "What closure? People don't just disappear, Dean. Other people just stop looking for them" Sam said his getting angrier as he went on.

Dean picked up on his hostility "Something you want to say to me?"

"The trail for Dad. It's getting colder every day"

"Exactly. So what are we supposed to do?"

"I don't know. Something. Anything"

Dean became increasingly more annoyed "You know what? I'm sick of this attitude. You don't think I wanna find Dad as much as you do?"

"Yeah, I know you do, it's just—"

"I'm the one that's been with him every single day for the past two years, while you've been off to college going to pep rallies, raising a kid. We will find Dad, but until then, we're gonna kill everything bad between here and there. Okay?"

Sam and Dean stare at each other until Sam rolls his eyes. Jessica put a hand on Sam's shoulder "we'll find him. I know we will" she told her boyfriend with a smile. Wendy walked by distracting Dean.

"All right, Lake Manitoc" Sam relented when he noticed Dean's attention was still on the waitress "Hey!"

Dean returns his attention to Sam "Huh?"

"How far?" Sam asks referring to the drive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Andrea leads Dean, Sam, and Jessica with Alexandra on her hip as she leads them along the street. Dean is doing his best to flirt with Andrea while Jessica shakes her head, she didn't know why Dean had to flirt with every pretty girl he sees.

"So, cute kid"

"Thanks" Andrea replies without looking back.

They cross a street while Dean continues to flirt.

"Kids are the best, huh"

Andrea glances at him and ignores him as they keep walking. They stop in front of a building that says Lakefront Motel. Andrea turns and looks at Dean.
