The Winchester Three (S1): The Beginning

Ch 12 Section 2

Dean and Angel bunked together and were asleep on one bed while Sam slept on the other. John's bag was on the couch but he was wide awake, sitting at the table with a radio held in both hands listening to the dispatchers talk.

"Unit 22 let me confirm. Mile marker 41, abandoned car. You need a workup?"

"Copy that. Possible 207. Better get forensics out here."

John put the radio down, jumped to his feet and grabbed his jacket.

He walked over and slapped his kids feet as he called their name to wake them, "Angel, Sam, Dean, let's go."

Dean answered immediately, although still asleep, "Mm-hmm."

John, knowing she was the hardest to get up, shook his daughter until he saw her eyes open, "Angel."

She instantly shot up, gun in hand, "I'm up, i'm going..." Sam half sat up as Dean rubbed his eyes and Angel watched her dad as she started collecting her things, "What's going on?"

"I picked up a police call."

Sam looked up at him but didn't get up, "What happened?"

"A couple called 911, found a body in the street. Cops got there and everyone was missing. It's the vampires."

At that Sam rose from the bed, "How do you know?"

John didn't turn to answer as he left, "Just follow me, okay?"

Sam walked across the room and put his jacket on as Dean smiled still half asleep, "Huh, vampires. Gets funnier every time I hear it."

Later on...

After John finished talking to a cop on the scene he walked back to his kids who were waiting by the Impala.

Sam sulked, "I don't see why we couldn't have gone over with him."

Dean scoffed, "Oh, don't tell me it's already starting."

"What's starting?"

"Just drop the tude, Sam." Angel quipped and she pointed to him when he went to argue, "We don't need it right now."

Dean called to John as he walked up, "What have you got?"

"It was them alright. Looks like they're heading west. We'll have to double back to get around that detour."

Sam's head went up, "How can you be so sure?"

Dean scolded his tone, "Sam..."

Sam's tone turned sharp to Dean, "I just wanna know we're going in the right direction."

John stared at him, "We are."

"How do you know?"

John handed something off to Angel, "I found this."

"Uh..." Her brows furrowed, "A tooth?"

Dean gaped, "It's a... a vampire fang."

"Not fangs, teeth. The second set descends when they attack." He looked at Sam pointedly, "Any more questions?" When he looked away John nodded, "Alright, let's get out of here, we're losing daylight." They started heading for their respective cars but John's eyes raked over the dirty impala before he sent a glare to his eldest son, "Hey Dean, why don't you touch up your car before you get rust? I would've given the damn thing to Angel if I thought you were going to ruin it."

Angel gave her dad an exacerbated look as Sam gave both of his siblings an 'told you so' glare.

Dean grimaced, "Sorry."
