A Mess It Grows ~ Supernatural Fanfiction

BOOK 5

Dean was driving, cursing about the fact that they were in a rental, the cars still stuck at Bobby's. They wouldn't have time to go and get it, the drive alone was a good seventeen hours or more. "-and Governor O'Malley urged calm-," a radio announcer said from the speakers. "-saying it's very unlikely an abandoned convent would be a target for terrorists, either foreign or homegrown."

"Change the station," Dean said, his mood not having improved in the last few hours.

Karoline reached out and pushed the search function on the radio. Numbers flipped through methodically before latching on another signal. "-Hurricane Kinley, unexpectedly slamming into the Galveston area-" She pushed the search again, waiting.

"-announced a successful test of the North Korean nuclear-," again, She changed the channel as Dean sighed, his eyes focused on the road ahead.

"-a series of tremors-"

"-swine flu-"

Karoline sighed and hit the power button, turning the whole thing off, plummeting the car into awkward and uncomfortable silence. Sam was sitting in the back seat, with Alayna, and he'd been mercifully quiet during the disembarking of the plane, and the application for the car rental... but Alayna knew it was stewing away inside him - that guilt eating at him with nowhere for it to be released. It would only be a matter of time before he needed to offload on one or all of them.

"Dean, look-" It seemed that time of silence was up.

"Don't say anything," Dean said, not moving to even glance at me. Sam paused, and the awkwardness simply grew. "It's okay. We just got to keep our heads down and hash this out, all right?"

Another pause as Sam thought about this. He tended to have a bit of a self-flagellation approach to his mistakes, and in this case it was the biggest screw up of all time. No way were they going to escape with a simple "don't say anything."

"Yeah, okay," Sam said finally. Dean and Karoline exchanged a glance, and she could see the uncertainty sitting there. He didn't know what to do, and she didn't have any answers to give him.
