"Okay amigos, we set up here for a few days, the bar is obviously under watch and is not safe for us to be there," Dean said opening a the door to an apartment

"This, is where we're staying?" Seth asked in disbelief, looking around the small apartment and Dean huffed

"I'm sorry it isn't a penthouse Seth! It was kinda a last minute decision," Dean said through clenched teeth and Seth shrunk back at the vein popping out of Dean's neck

"Two bedrooms, we'll share," Dean said, flinging his bag on the sofa violently and watching the three people present with him

"Who's sharing?" Dean asked looking at them and they shared a look

"Seth and I will share," Roman said to him and his bad mood lifted as he casted his gaze to Alma

"de Castillo?" He offered, gesturing to the bedroom and she grew nervous as she looked around

"I'll take the couch gracias," she dismissed and Dean clenched his jaw and turned around to go into the bedroom and slammed the door, making the three of them jump

Normally Dean loved the little cat and mouse game he and Alma played, but right now, he wasn't in the mood. His bar was his favourite place in the world and to know they could go back tomorrow and it might not be there? Made Dean shake with anxiety

He jumped slightly as the door opened and Alma looked at him with those stupid big brown eyes

"Thought you were taking the couch?" He said in a snappy tone and Alma bit her lip

"I can't change my mind?" She challenged and Dean just huffed a laugh before lighting a cigarette

"Those-"

"Don't lecture me about the cigarettes de Castillo, my job will kill me before they do," Dean said, cutting her off and she smiled at the floor before going to sit by him

"I was gonna say, that mi papa used to smoke those kinds of cigarettes," she said, plucking it from between his lips and taking a pull of smoke and then breathed out, putting the cigarette back in his mouth as he looked at her slightly wide eyed

"I'm uh, I'm gonna get us some food with the boys, you uh, you can change and stuff," Dean said and Alma nodded, as he quickly got away from her and over to the door

Alma nodded and he left the room, she sat by the window and was just thinking for a few minutes, she sat there for approximately 10 minutes and then stood up, pulling off her jeans and t-shirt

Dean walked towards the bedroom door and opened it without thinking about knocking, he had left a while ago, Alma had to have finished changing by now right?

He took two steps and froze, Alma was in her underwear and wow, Dean's jaw was on the ground, her clothes did absolutely nothing to compliment her body

Dean turned around and closed the door again, walking into the kitchen area and taking the beer Roman offered him and sat down, rubbing a hand over his forehead in frustration

"You okay hermano?" Roman asked, tilting his head

"I'm fine," he lied with a fake smile but the thing about Roman, was that, he could always see through Dean's facade, always.

That's what happened when Roman leaned over the counter he was behind and clapped a hand on Dean's shoulder

"We'll get the bar back amigo, it's just a matter of time," he affirmed and Dean nodded and cleared his throat

"Yeah, I know, I'm gonna take a shower," Dean told him and Roman sighed as he got up and walked to the bathroom

Roman knew it was bothering Dean, that bar was something very important to Dean, sure it was a building, mortar and wood, but the significance that the building had for the 3 of them. The memories they built there, were enough.

Roman sighed and then smiled as Alma walked out of the room in a pair of pajama pants and a vest. He had taken a liking to Alma

"Hola Alma," Roman greeted and she smiled at him

"Oye," she replied, sitting down where Dean had previously sat

"Donde es Seth?" She asked and Roman plated some Chinese food for her

"He went to see his mom, he should be back soon," Roman replied and looked at her

"Tu bien?" He asked and she shrugged

"The thought of parents and family and stuff makes me kinda sad, when I come to the realization that I don't have a family anymore," she told him, for some reason, she trusted Roman alot

"I get it. I mean, my family is huge and most of them don't agree with what I do, but I need to get by somehow you know? I need to send my daughter to school and provide for my wife, so I really don't have a mom or dad or brothers or sisters anymore," Roman explained

"The only ones who still got family between us four, is me and Seth," he continued and that caught Alma's attention

"Dean doesn't have a family?" She asked and Roman opened his mouth

"No he doesn't and he would appreciate it if no one talks about it," they heard and turned to see Dean leaning against the wall with a pair of sweats and a tank top and he then sighed

"Donde es hermanito?" Dean asked, looking around for Seth

"Went to see his mom," Roman replied, handing Dean a plate as well as Alma

Just as they sat down, the door opened and Seth came in looking disheveled as all hell

"Hermanito? Are you alright?" Dean asked, automatically concerned

"Si, si, can we talk in private?" He asked looking at Dean who nodded and gestured him into the kitchen

"Que pasa?" Dean asked and Seth bit his lip and looked into Dean's eyes and began explaining what he found out and by the end, Dean was speechless

"Are you sure hermanito?" Dean asked and Seth nodded, mouth dry

"She can't know, that would only put her in danger," Dean said after a few minutes of thinking, he looked at Alma who was laughing at something Roman said and his heart lurched, this would crush her.

"You can't tell her," he said, looking at Seth and he sighed

"I can't believe it, how could-" Seth was cut off by Dean grabbing his shoulders

"Seth, you cannot tell Alma about this, promise me," Dean said, blue eyes blazing

"I won't," he replied and Dean nodded

"Bueno," Dean said in relief

"We need to help her before she finds out," Dean said and Seth nodded sadly and they fistbumped before walking out to join Roman and Alma
