Let Me Down Slowly Δ SPN [ 2 ]

chapter three

Dean had Bobby pick Evie up from Lisa's a little while ago and she's been at Bobby's since. The older man informed her that Sam came back without a soul after she overheard a conversation between Bobby and Dean on the phone.

Evie hasn't seen her dad or uncle in about a month or so making her sad because she misses them. She gets her dad doesn't have a soul and realizes that's why his hug was different. Bobby said her and soulless Sam wouldn't get along very well.

The brothers are now at Bobby's house and Dean just informed them about his plan with Death on how to get Sam's soul back. Evie and Bobby are sitting on the couch. She's cuddling her dog while cuddling into Bobby's side.

"You what?!" Sam asks after Dean finishes explaining the plan.

"Just hear me out." Dean says.

"I heard Cas and Crowley when they said it would either kill me or turn me to Jell-O, Dean! I heard enough!" Sam exclaims.

"Death said that he can put up a wall." Dean says.

"A wall?" Sam asks.

"Yes, yes, a wall that-- that basically, you wouldn't remember Hell." Dean says.

"Really?" Sam asks.

"Really." Dean nods.

"For good? Like a cure?"

"No, it's not a cure. It... he said it could last a lifetime."

"Great. So, playing pretty fast and loose with my life here, don't you think, Dean?"

"I'm trying to save your life!"

"Exactly, Dean! It's my life! It's my life, it's my soul. And it sure as hell ain't your head that's gonna explode when this whole scheme of yours goes sideways!"

"Just curious." Bobby speaks up, standing up. "I presume Death's not doing this out of the goodness of his heart. So what's your half of the deal?" Dean is evasive. "I'm sorry. I didn't get that."

"I have to wear the ring for a day." Dean informs.

"Why the hell would he want you to do that?" Bobby asks.

"Get his rocks off, I don't know. But I'm doing it." Dean states, looking at Sam. The younger brother starts to leave. "Where you going?"

"Look, I hear you, all right? I get it. I just need a minute to wrap my head around it, all right?" Sam leaves.

Dean and Bobby follow him, Bobby telling Evie to stay inside.

"So, is this the part where you pull a gun on me and lock me in the panic room?" Sam asks Bobby as they walk inside without Dean.

"Do I have to?" Bobby asks.

"No. I guess Dean's got to do what he's got to do." Sam says, walking into the kitchen.

"Guess we all do, kid." Bobby mumbles to himself.

"Bobby?" Evie asks, walking over to him. "Will daddy be okay?"
