Red Sky At Morning (3x06)

November 6, 2007

The Winchesters stood in the living room at Shia's brother, Michael's, house. Dean found a case and thought it would be better if Lynx stayed with one of her uncles, only because Bobby was busy with a hunt of his own and Tanner is now located in England for her schooling. Shia gently and slowly gave Lynx to Michael's wife, Katie, so she could place Lynx in a room they have for her.

"Take care of her. Okay?" Shia told her brother. Michael nodded at her and smiled at her.

"You three have a safe hunt." He told the Winchester trio to which they all nodded and made their way out of his home.

~Six hours later.~

Dean was driving down a dark road late at night , Sam was in the passenger's seat and Shia in the backseat. There was a tense silence in the car between the brothers, which Dean broke.

"So, I've been waiting since we left fairy tale world, but then decided to wait...but had enough of waiting after we dropped Lynx off. You got something to tell me?" Dean asked as calmly as he could make himself as the spark of being upset stirred in him.

"It's not your birthday." Sam said playing dumb, he knew what Dean was talking about he just chose not to acknowledge it. Shia sat up to listen to the boys, she also knew Sam's little secret but said nothing because it wasn't for her to tell.

"No." Dean plainly said.

"Is it your 3rd year dating anniversary with Shia?"

"No, that's next week. You're getting off subject."

"... Happy Purim?" Sam asked then after a pause he laughed. "Dude, I don't know. I have no idea what you're talking about-"

"There's a bullet missing from the Colt. You want to tell me how that happened? I know it wasn't me. So unless you were shooting at some incredibly evil cans..." Dean said as he cut Sam off from his sentence. Shia sensed an argument coming so she sat back and pulled out a book about what to expect from a baby during the first six months of life.

"Dean ..." Sam said softly.

"You went after her, didn't you? The Crossroads Demon. After I told you not to." Dean asked as he looked for Sam to the road.

"Yeah, well..."

"You could have gotten yourself killed!"

"I didn't." Sam simply said.

"And you shot her." Dean said more to himself than Sam.

"She was probably being a smartass." Shia said out loud as she flipped the page in her book. Sam nodded agreeing with Shia.

"So, what? Does that, does that mean I'm out of my deal?" Dean asked almost hopefully, he tried to cover it up but he couldn't fool Sam or his wife.

"Don't you think I might have mentioned that little fact, Dean? No. Someone else holds the contract." Sam said as he looked out the window, watching the trees as they passed them.

"Who?" Dean asked.

"She wouldn't say."

"Well, we should find out who. Of course, our best lead would be the Crossroads Demon. Oh, wait a minute..." Dean smarted off with a scoff.

"That's not funny." Sam said.

"No, it's not! It was a stupid freaking risk, and you shouldn't have done it."
