Dean woke up from a nightmare. We had been reading books about hellhounds

"Dean, are you ok?" I asked.

"I'm fine." he said. He cuddled me into his side. Then Sam came in.

"Dig up anything good?" Sam asked. Dean closed the book and shook his head a bit, not looking up on him.

"No." Dean said and cleared his throat. "Nothing good."

"Well, Bobby has. Finally." Sam said.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Yeah. A way to find Lilith." Sam said.

"Oh. With just uh –" Sam said and looked at his watch. "thirty hours to go." Sam said.

"Hey, why don't we just make a TJ-run, yeah? You know... some senoritas, cervezas, uh, we could... What's Spanish for 'donkey show'?" Dean said.

"So if we do save you... Let's never do that." I said.

"Yeah..." Dean said. He looked down at the books as Sam sat on his other side.

"Hey, Dean. Look, we're cutting it close, I know. But we're gonna get this done. I don't care what it takes, Dean. You're not gonna go to hell. I'm not gonna let you." Sam said. Dean looked at him "I swear. Everything's gonna be okay." Sam said.

Dean's facial expression changed as he looked at Sam. He suddenly looked very scared.

"Yeah, okay." Dean said.

We were in a cabin. Bobby had a map of the usa open. He placed an old tracking device on it.

"So you need a name, that's the whole kit and caboodle. With the right name, right ritual, ain't nothing you can't suss out." Bobby said.

"Like the town Lilith's in?" I asked.

"Kid, when I get done, we'll know the street." Bobby said. He began the ritual and started the swing for the pendulum and then chanted in Latin. As we watched, the pendulum began to search over the map until it suddenly stopped. "New Harmony, Indiana." Dean looked up from the map. "And we have a winner." Bobby said.

"Alright. Let's go." Sam said

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Let's all shut up there, Tex." Dean said.

"What's the problem?" I asked.

"What's the problem? Come on, where do I begin? I mean, first of all, we don't even know if Lilith holds my deal. We're going off of Bela's intel? Now when that bitch breathes, the air comes out crooked. Okay. Second, even if we could get to Lilith, we have no way to gank her. And third, isn't this the same Lilith that wants your giant head on a pike? Should I continue?" Dean said.

"Ain't you just bringing down the room." Bobby said.

"Yeah, well, it's a gift." Dean said.

"I'm sorry, so then what are we supposed to do, Dean?" Sam asked.

"Just 'cause I gotta die doesn't mean you have to, okay. Either we go in smart or we don't go in at all." Dean said.

"Okay, fine. If that's the case I have the answer." Sam said.

"You do?" I asked.

"Yeah. A sure-fire way to confirm it's Lilith and a way to get us a bona fide demon-killing ginsu." Sam said.

"Damn it, Sam, no." Dean said. He turned his back to Sam and walked a few steps away.

"We're so past arguing. Dean, I am summoning Ruby." Sam said.
