The Winchester Three (S1): The Beginning

Ch 2 Section 2

The group hiked through the forest quietly. Roy led with Dean, Angel, Haley, Ben, and Sam following. The Winchesters were armed and ready as well as Roy.

Dean eyed the man, "Roy, you said you did a little hunting?"

"Yeah, more than a little."

"Uh-huh. What kind of furry critters do you hunt?"

Angel threw him a look but he waved her back, "Dean."

Roy was oblivious, "Mostly buck, sometimes bear."

Dean passed him, "Tell me, uh, Bambi or Yogi ever hunt you back?"

Roy grabbed him by the collar and yanked him back earning a glare. Sam and Angel each tensed as well. Angel was about to go separate them but Sam stopped her as Dean glared down at the man.

"Whatcha doin, Roy?"

Roy grabbed a stick and poked a bear trap Dean had almost stepped in.

He looked up and gave him a sarcastic smile, "You should watch where you're stepping... Ranger."

Dean laughed tightly, looking at his sister, "It's a bear trap."

"I see that." Angel shook her head as Roy walked away, she motioned, "I don't like him."

Dean laughed and repeated her words, "'I see that.'"

They hiked on but Haley soon hurried up to Dean, an annoyed look on her face as she grabbed his coat and twisted him to face her, "You didn't pack any provisions. You guys are carrying duffel bags. You're not rangers. So who the hell are you?"

Ben walked past Haley and Dean gave Sam and Angel an expression to go on by; to which they listened.

Dean watches them go for a moment before turning back to Haley, "Sam, Angel and I are siblings, and we're looking for our father. He might be here, we don't know. I just figured that you and me, we're in the same boat."

She frowned, "Why didn't you just tell me that from the start?"

"I'm telling you now." He shrugged, "'Sides, it's probably the most honest I've ever been with a woman... ever." He grinned, "So we okay?"

Haley paused but smirked, "Yeah... I guess."

"And what do you mean I didn't pack provisions?"

Dean quickly pulled out a big bag of peanut M&Ms and munched on them as he hiked on.

Later on...

Roy turned to the group as they came up on a small clearing, "This is it. Blackwater Ridge."

Sam kept walking, "What coordinates are we at?"

Roy pulled out a GPS, "Thirty-five and minus one-eleven."

Angel walked to her brothers, "This is weird... not a peep in the middle of the wilderness? Not even bugs?"

"Yeah." Dean listened as well, "Eeery."

"I'm gonna go take a look around."

Angel quickly intercepted Roy, "Not a good idea to do alone, friend."

"That's cute, sweetheart." He smiled earning a glare from her and the boys, "Don't worry about me."

Roy waved his gun and pushed between the boys and past Angel to retake the lead.

Angel shook her head, "I'll go with him." She motioned, "You two babysit."

"All right, everybody stays together." Dean instructed the others as Angel and Roy walked off, "Let's go."
