Summary: Sam meets someone unexpectedly.
Sam had been researching the past few hours on the computer and was coming up with absolutely zilch for their next job. He felt frustrated and exhausted; it was time for a break. He checked the time on his watch and saw it was 11:00 pm. He glanced over at Dean and saw that he was fast asleep.
He grabbed his jacket and closed the motel door silently behind me. He mindlessly walked until he found himself at the entrance to a bar. As he reached the door, he heard peals of laughter and cheering. It appealed to him, so he decided to enter to check it out. As he made his way towards the bartender, he stopped in his tracks. He knew it was Jo by the long, blonde hair cascading down her back. His first thought was to turn and walk away because the last time he had seen her, was when he tortured her.
Against his better judgment, he approached and sat down on the empty barstool beside her.
"Sam," she said, "What are you doing here?"
"Taking a break," he replied as he signaled the bartender. "I could ask you the same thing."
She tilted her head to one side and bit her lip as she responded. "Well, I heard there were some mysterious killings happening, so I thought I would check it out."
"So where is your mother?" he inquired. "Does she know...."
"No!" she said cutting him off. "And I don't want her to," she answered softly.
"Oh," he sighed. They sat there in awkward silence, not really knowing what to say to each other.
"This is awkward," he thought as he sipped his beer. Jo was staring into space as he turned towards her.
"Jo, I'm sorry about what I did to you when I was possessed. I never meant to hurt you."
"I know."
Sam felt like a weight was lifted off his shoulders.
