Summary: Shortly after the events at Carthage, on a seemingly normal hunt, Dean and Cas disappear. Not knowing who else to turn to and fearing the worst, Sam asks Gabriel for his help in locating both of their brothers. In return, Sam reluctantly agrees that Gabriel can feel free to try and convince Sam to play his role in the Apocalypse, he just isn’t making any promises that he will consent to anything.
What follows next is an adventure that pays tribute to the Bing Crosby and Bob Hope Road to movies, with a trip to a carnival where Sam has to wrestle an octopus. And Dean and Cas have disappeared into a unique set of problems of their own, leaving Dean to suspect that Sam might be in more trouble than he realizes.

jaharper88 has been with me all the way as a sounding board and general all around cheerleader, while
novakev graciously agreed to come in late in the game and read the whole thing over as someone with an outsider’s opinion. I also owe some thanks yous to some other wonderful people, but to do so now who give away some spoilers, so look for an additional note at the end.
