Summery: Jared Padalecki and the case of mistaken identity.


&*&*&*&*

Jared has never met Sam Winchester, but he knows who he is.

When he was 24 he decided to go for it, and give the acting thing a try. He'd driven in to Dallas for an open call for a part in a tv commercial. He got pulled over doing 75 in a 65 and knew there was gonna be trouble the minute the sheriff put his hand on his gun and said 'Son, get outta the car.'

He's never even gotten a traffic ticket before, much less handcuffed in the back of a police cruiser, and he'll admit to freaking out a little. The Sheriff wouldn't believe him when he said he wasn't this Sam Winchester dude, check his drivers license, he's Jared Padalecki.

He was taken into the station and processed, finger prints and mug shots, and stuffed in a cell. In retrospect that part is kinda cool. They almost didn't let him use the phone though, and that part is not cool. He's not ashamed to admit that by that point he was scared outta his mind. Because, seriously, the things they were saying this Sam Winchester and his brother Dean had done was pretty damn outrageous. Bank robbery, murder, credit card fraud, grave desecration, and Jesus, they thought he was this guy!

He did get his phone call though. He got the feeling they were hoping he'd call this Dean guy. If he was Sam Winchester, did they really think he'd lead them to his brother? He, of course, called his mama. Who, bless the Lord, stayed calm and said she'd be there soon, just hold on baby.

In the end, it took ten hours, his mama, and a lawyer to convince the sheriffs he wasn't Sam Winchester. He's pretty sure it was only his fingerprints not matching that got him out of there and not anything his mama or the lawyer did. He's also pretty sure the sheriff thought he'd somehow fixed it so the prints wouldn't match.

First thing he does when he gets home, after being cosseted and coddled and teased by the whole extended family, is google Sam Winchester. He gets the official stuff, wanted in several states, blah, blah, blah, theft, murder, mayhem, he got all that when he was being held. Beyond the official sites he gets supernatural sites. Sites full of ghosts and demon possession and every damn weird thing he's ever heard of and a lot he never could of imagined.

There are testimonials on the sites too. People who say they've been saved from the things in the night by the Winchester brothers.

A girl in Colorado who says they saved her and her brothers from something called a wendigo. There are several families in Indiana who claim the Winchesters saved their children from a mad woman. A woman in Wisconsin claims the Winchester's saved her son from drowning and solved a decades old missing persons. They're even credited as consultants on a truly horrible horror film. It's all very strange.

Digging a little further gets him pictures from frat parties at Stanford of all places. And a newspaper article on a fire in an apartment and the obituary for a Jessica Lee Moore. Shit, this is all some heavy stuff he thinks. How does a person go from studying at Stanford to killing what one site said was vampires?

He knows he's become something of a stalker. He's got all the weird-o sites bookmarked and he gets updates from mailing lists that track sightings of the brothers. Jared thinks he'd like to meet Sam Winchester. Whether he kills vampires or robs banks, he'd like to meet the man who shares his face.

Yeah, Jared Padalecki has never met Sam Winchester, but he knows who he is; a hero to some and a most dangerous fugitive to others. At the very least, he's a good looking guy.
