The Curious Case of Dean Winchester (Part 3)

Trigger Warning: towards the end of this chapter, there is mention of suicide and depression if these are triggers for you then skip the bold words.

Sam, Dean, Maia, and Bobby sat in the Singer's van, stalking Patrick. Right now he was standing at the curb, looking back and forth between the passing cars. He checked his watch and walked onto the road, keeping his gaze straight ahead.

A car's headlights grew brighter as a car drove closer to Patrick who turned facing the car, pretending to be frozen from fear. The driver didn't stop in time and hit him head-on.

The poor man climbed out of his car in a panic. He ran to the construction workers a few feet away for help but while he was trying to explain what happened, Patrick drove by in his car.

"I got to say, I kind of like the guy." Dean laughed.

Bobby started up the car, following Patrick. He made sure to keep some distance so that Patrick wouldn't notice. They followed him to a luxurious penthouse.

The four watched him go in and waited till he came back out and drove away to make their move. 

Sam pushed Bobby up to the door while Dean held it open. Inside, the elevator had a note explaining that it was out of order and that everyone had to use the stairs.

"Well, I'm out." Bobby sighed.

Sam, Dean, and Maia ran up the cement stairs with Maia in the lead, Sam in the middle and Dean in the back.

When Dean finally reached the top of the first flight of stairs, Sam gave him a look. "Dean..." The taller Winchester pointer to the floor two sign. Dean rolled his eyes, wanting nothing more than to be back to his old self.

Sam continued up and Dean slowly tried to catch up.

Finally reaching the top floor, Maia waited in the doorway for her uncle and father. Sam came up not too far behind.

"Where's Dean?" Maia walked with Sam to Patrick's apartment door, panting slightly.

"Somewhere down there." Sam dug through his pockets for his lock pick.

A couple of seconds later Dean came through the door, looking about ready to drop dead from exhaustion.

"You're not tired?" Dean asked Maia in amazement as she wasn't trying to catch her breath like Sam and Dean.

"Nope. My volleyball coach used to make us run the bleachers at a local high school until we passed out from exhaustion." Maia answered.

Sam shared a look with Dean, pulling his lock pick out.

"Is that how you two always break into places?" Maia questioned.

"Yeah, how would you do it?" Sam asked.

"Step aside." Maia waved the younger Winchester off. When he moved, she placed a hand on the doorknob, closed her eyes and pushed the handle down. The door slowly swung open.

"How-"

"Magic." Maia cut Sam off, stepping inside.

Sam and Dean followed her inside. Dean closed the door and the trio split up.

Dean made his way over to a cabinet, searching the insides for the chips or maybe even a secret storage place.

"Sam? Maia?" Dean called when he found a hidden safe. "Dime-store model. Piece of cake."

"It's like 'Mission: Pathetic.' Watch out." Sam made Dean move out of the way after he tried and failed to open the safe. The younger Winchester opened it in two seconds.
