Meagan looked at Pete with worry as he finished the call. He had been like this ever since Patrick went missing. Spastic, paranoid, depressed. She didn't like seeing him like this. It gave her a bad feeling that he was going to do something stupid.

He turned around to look at her. He must have noticed the look of anxiousness in her eyes, for he softened his gaze as he took her hands. "I need to go." He told her, feeling a bit guilty.

"But, it feels like you just got back." She answered, trying to persuade him to stay.

"I know, but I need to meet Sam and Dean. We need to figure all this out, Meg."

She sighed. "Can you trust them?"

"I think so."

They both looked to the side as Pete's son Bronx walked into the room. He looked more worried than Meghan.

Pete walked to his son and knelt down, looking at him face to face. "Hey bud, I gotta go." He said guiltily. "I'll be back soon, I promise."

Bronx was young, seven, but he wasn't stupid. "Is this about Uncle Patrick?" He asked, clearly anxious. He hadn't heard much about what happened, but he could tell Patrick was in trouble.

"Yeah, bud. It is." Pete responded. He could see that his son was as worried as he was. That's why he needed to go to Sam and Dean, not bring them here.

"Hey." He said, trying to get Bronx's attention as he looked down in worry. "Everything's going to be okay. We're going to find Patrick and everything will go back to normal. I promise."

Bronx looked up at his dad. Even though this whole thing was keeping both of them up at night, he trusted his dad, and he believed him. "Okay dad." He murmured, hugging Pete as tight as he could.

Pete hugged back, sighing. He felt bad for leaving them like this. But he needed to help Patrick, no matter what. Is Patrick really worth all this? He thought to himself.

Yes.

Sam was back on his computer and Dean was back to moping when they heard a knock on the door. Sam went to open it, and sure enough, there was Pete. Sam smiled, then welcomed him in.

"Okay, you have a laptop." Pete sighed. "I need to show you something." He said as he sat down and started typing away at Sam's computer.

"Wait, why the hell are we going to YouTube?" Dean asked after a few seconds, seeing the site pop up on the screen.

"Dean, I'm sure he has an explanation, just calm down." Sam responded, defending Pete.

Pete sighed. He did have an explanation, he was just unsure if they would believe him or not.

"Okay, so, I'm in a band called Fall Out Boy,"

"Yeah, we already know that." Dean interrupted, eyeing Sam playfully. Sam rolled his eyes. Pete smirked.

"Well, in 2009 we decided to take a hiatus, and we just came back last year. For our comeback we made a music video for our new song, Light Em' Up. We liked the concept so much that we created an eleven part video series out of it. We called it The Youngblood Chronicles. I think, what happened to him there, happened to him here."  

Once Pete was done explaining, he searched up the video for Light Em' Up, and clicked play.
-----------------------------------------------------------
It took about an hour to finish all eleven videos, but once they did, the brothers were shocked at what they had just seen, their jaws hanging.

"Holy shit." Dean murmured, still wrapping his head around it. Sam had his brows furrowed in thought, not sure of what to say.

Pete shrugged and smiled in a really awkward way, not knowing what to say either. "It was a good comeback from our hiatus..." He stated, as if why they did it was the problem.

"No, no, it's not that, exactly." Dean responded reassuringly. "It's just, you got Courtney Love as the bad guy, Tommy Lee as Satan, and Elton John as God!"

Pete laughed. "Yeah, it was really fun working with them."

"Damn, if Hell was like that for me, I would have stayed there forever!" Dean exclaimed.

Pete's eyes widened in surprise at the statement. "Wait, what!?"

There was an awkward silence. Sam looked at Dean with frustration. "Oops." Dean murmured. He forgot that he couldn't say that out loud.

"Yeah, that's kind of a long story, but Dean in fact did go to Hell." Sam told Pete, trying to clear things up.

That didn't soften Pete's shocked expression, however. "I'm not even going to ask."

There was more silence. "So." Dean said, changing the subject. "You think what happened in the video series, happened to Patrick in real life?"

"Yeah." Pete responded, looking down and running his fingers through his hair. "I just feel like this is all my fault."

"Why?" Sam asked.

"Because!" Pete responded. He took a breath. "Because if it wasn't for that dumb idea, he might not be in this situation. He might be okay."

"Hey," Sam called in a soft tone. "You had no idea this was going to happen. You probably don't know what's happening to him at all! You didn't cause this, so it isn't your fault, okay? Trust me, I've been through things like this. We're going to figure it out, but just know it's not your fault!"

Pete sighed. He tried to agree with Sam, but deep down inside that terrible feeling of guilt was still nested in his gut.

"Well, where do we go from here?" Dean asked, breaking the tension.

"Well, if Patrick went for me first, he'd go for either Joe, or Andy." Pete responded.

"Do you know who?" Dean inquired.

Pete thought for a moment. He's going after each band member out of order, and he probably wouldn't go for Pete next because now Pete's tipped off.

"Wait, Joe's family is going out of town for the weekend." Pete said out loud. If Patrick is only attacking the band members, Joe has to be next.

"It's Joe, guys. It's Joe."
