Case 3: Saving Private Cas

[a_righteous_man]

Dean, Sam, and Xander had run out of Los Angeles like a bat of out of hell. No time to say goodbye to friends and no time to really get their shit together. They simply leapt into the Impala, put the pedal to the floor, and were gone.

Dean didn’t want to leave, but knew it was wiser to run than fight an angel of the Lord right now.

Sault Ste. Marie, MI

(OOC: It's a 15 hour hour drive from Lawrence to Sault Ste Marie. If the boys left that night, it's about mid afternoon the following day)

"Money, get away." Dean crooned, his hands beating against the steering wheel. "Get a good job with good pay and you're okay."

Pink Floyd belted out of the Impala's traditional radio and cassette player, loud enough to be heard over the engine's roar, the wind whipping around the windows, and Dean's singing. They sped down I-75 North, blowing out of Drafter, Michigan at a steady 80 miles per hour.

A sign whipped pass the black Chevy declaring that they were fact approaching the International Bridge to Canada and Sault Ste. Marie (USA).

"New car, caviar, four star daydream," Dean carried on. "Think Ill buy me a football team!" He turned his sun glassed gaze to his brother and flashed him a disarming smile and nodded his head back to Xander

"Oh. My god. Dean, please shut the hell up." Sam looked over at his brother from the passenger seat and gave his shoulder a shove. "A: you are terrible. B: we've listened to this album twice already. C: please shut up."

But, despite his protests, Sam was glad to see his brother looking so calm and so Dean again, that he'd put up with anything.

Dean's lower lip jutted out in a bit of pout as he reached for the radio and ejected the table. "You're bossy." He whined and flicked it into the back where Xander would undoubtedly be smacked with it.

"Alright." Dean sighed and cleared his throat. "Fingers crossed that Cas didn't ended up in freaking Canada...just where are we going to start looking for him?"

"Lemme look at the map again." Sam spread it out on his lap, tracing the river with his forefinger, and then looking up at downtown. "Along the water? There's a lot of shipping traffic here, so they're probably got a warehouse district, and a warehouse is nice and anonymous." He frowned. "There's gotta be something missing, here. Cas isn't an idiot; he wouldn't just, sit, waiting in some warehouse for anyone to show up. Can you like, have one of your weird dream meeting with him again."

"Sure Sam." Dean grumbled. "I'll just doze off right here and hope Cas is in the mood for a pow wow." He knew Sam couldn't see his eyes through his sun glasses, but he glared anyway.

He turned off the I-75 exit into Sault Ste. Marie. "What's the name of the motel again?"

Sam sighed and made a face at Dean. "I didn't mean right this second, asshole." He refolded the map and picked up the note he'd written. "The Laker Inn. Our host is 'Jerry.' Make a right up there," he pointed, "and it's on the left."

Dean followed Sam's directions, pulling out and waiting at a light before coming up to the intersection. "Our host is 'Jerry'?" He muttered under his breath and pulled into the motel parking lot.

"Place looks surprisingly tame." He mused from his seat, looking around the town. "Then again...all these places are until you get inside." Dean killed the engine and climbed out of the Impala, rising to his feet and stretching his arms above his head. His back and neck popped in about three places, much to his comfort and delight.

Thirty is not what I expected it to be. He thought, pulling the sun glasses off and scanning the streets. "So. What should we do?" He asked, leaning against the driver's door. "I need a shower and food that didn't come from a Micky'Ds." He declared, looking over his shoulder to Sam and then to Xander.

Sam climbed out and stretched, leaning on the car. "Agreed. I don't think the motel has a kitchen, go figure. What're you in the mood for? Xander, any thoughts? I'll make a run, as long as you don't use up all the hot water."

Xander had been staring out the windows, drowning out Dean's singing with practiced skill. This was nothing compared to having to listen to Spike singing along to the Sex Pistols.

When they came to a stop we got out with the two brothers and stretched his cramping muscles. "Yeah, I can live the rest of my life without seeing another giant yellow M. As for food...hm...who's up for some chinese?"

"Sounds good," Sam said. "This looks like a busy, downtown area, so I think I'm just going to walk, see what I can find, get acquainted." He pocketed a hex bag and pulled out his phone and waved it in Dean's direction. "If you die, call me, otherwise I'll be back in an hour or two."

Re: Sault Ste. Marie, MI

[a_righteous_man]

Dean nodded in agreement. "Chinese sounds awesome." He pushed himself off the car and proceeded to walk towards the main office to find this 'Jerry'.

"How am I going to call you if I'm dead?" Dean called after Sam jokingly. He looked over to Xander and waved him along. "Come on man. Let's get some rooms and you can find us some food. Gotta earn you keep."

The elder Winchester brother stepped into the motel's main office and rang the waiting bell. A cute co-ed appeared from the back, tawny hair in a pig tail and wearing shorts and flip flops. Dean laid on the charm, all smiles and rightly placed comments to get them two rooms, a single and a double with queens.

He had the girl's phone number on the back of a business card by the time he was done.

"Let's go get our stuff." Dean clapped Xander on the shoulder and lead him back to the Impala to unload the car.
