Room 438 Wednesday night after the party
Full of cake and good booze, Dean was feeling quite mellow when he headed back to his room. When he passed the third floor landing, he contemplated heading down to Alec's room and surprising him, but the whole roommate thing made that a little more awkward than it used to be. Better to go to his own room and give Alec a call to come up where they didn't have to worry about accidentally putting on a show.
He opened the door to his room, and bent down to greet his cat who came running over. "Hey, Hunter," he said, giving him a pet. "Guard the place well when I was gone?"
He straightened up and that's when he caught sight of the note left on his bed in Alec's handwriting.
It took several readthroughs for the words to really sink in.
Alec was gone. He had gotten wind of rumours of another X5 that shared the same DNA and might or might not be doing a good imitation of a serial killer. So he'd gone to track him down before Manticore could and deal with him one way or another. Alone. He'd asked that Dean not come after him because there were going to be enough people that looked like them running around and besides it would be easier for him to move as fast as he would need to on his own.
He did say he'd be back as soon as he had this all straightened out, but for now, he was gone.
"Well, that's just great," Dean muttered to a room that suddenly seemed emptier.
