Dead In the Water pt. 2

While Dean headed back to Sam and Andrea, Lucas picked up the drawing Dean made

"Lucas hasn't said a word, not even to me. Not since his dad's accident." Andrea explained when Dean got there

" Yeah, we heard. Sorry" Dean apologized

"Agent Mill seems to be having lots of fun with the kids" Andrea pointed out, Dean looked behind him and saw Ethan laughing with the children. He hasn't seen him that happy before, it made him smile a bit.

He turned back to the two "Yeah, he's fond of cute things" Dean reasoned.

" What are the Doctors saying? " Sam asked after a moment.

" That it's a kind of post-traumatic stress" Andrea explained

"That can't be easy. For either of you"

" We moved in with my Dad. He helps out a lot. It's just... When i think about what Lucas went through, what he saw... " Andrea sadly said

After a moment of silence, " kids are strong. You'd be surprised what they can deal with" Dean said glancing at Ethan with the children then to Sam who was watching Ethan then back to Andrea who was looking at Lucas.

"You know, he used to have such life. He was hard to keep up with, to tell you the truth. Now he just sits there. Drawing those pictures, playing with those army men. I just wish-" She stopped talking when she saw Lucas walking towards them, carrying a drawing.

" Hey sweetie" she greeted. Lucas handed Dean the drawing.

"Thanks, thanks Lucas" Dean thanked him as he walked back to the bench. He looked down at the drawing, it was of a house, one that resembled the Carlton's house.

~ Motel, still afternoon ~

Dean was sitting on a bed when Sam came in the door. Ethan was nowhere to be seen.

"So i think it's safe to say we can rule out Nessie" Sam concluded

"What do you mean?" Dean asked, Sam sat down beside him.

"i just drove past the Carlton house. There was an ambulance there. Will Carlton is dead" Sam explained

" He drowned?" Dean asked

" yeah, in the sink"

"What the hell? So you and Ethan are right, this isn't a creature. We're dealing with something else" Dean pointed out

" Yeah but what?"

" I don't know. Water wraith maybe? Some kind of demon? I mean, something that controls water...water that comes from the same source" Dean theorized

"The lake"

" Yeah"

" Which would explain why it's upping the body count. The lake is draining. It'll be dry in a few months. Whatever this thing is, whatever it wants, it's running out of time" Sam explained

" And if it can get through the pipes, it can get to anyone almost anywhere" Dean stood up from the bed and sat down on a chair " This is gonna happen again soon"

"And we do know one other thing for sure. We know this has got something to do with Bill Carlton"

" Yeah, it took both his kids"

" And I've been asking around. Lucas's dad, Chris- Bill Carlton's godson"

" Let's go pay Mr. Carlton a visit" Dean stood up and walked opposite of the door "Right before i use the bathroom"

Dean twisted the door but it was locked so he knocked on it.

"Yeah?" answered Ethan from inside
