"Ditto Sweetheart"

You walked from the car, your head held high and a serious expression had replaced your bright one.

Sam took a look at you in shock. He had never seen this side of you. You grew up together but I guess he missed you growing up into a woman.

He broke his stare from you and continues his walk alongside his brother and you.

You got up to the abandoned car and were inspecting it. The authorities came and spoke to all of you.

"Any theories?" Sam questioned the man. "Serial murder, Kidnapping Ring." the man answered Sam politely.

Dean opens his mouth and speaks. "Well, that is exactly the kind of crack police work I'd expect out of you guys."

Sam stepped on his foot, and you looked at him with your jaw clenched. "Sorry to bother you officer thank you for your time." you politely expelled yourselves from the conversation.

As you were walking away, you notice Dean smack the back of Sam's head. He flinched and looked at his brother in annoyance. "What was that for?" Sam huffed.

"Why'd you gotta step on my foot like that?" dean shot back.

"Why do you gotta talk to police like that?" Sam questioned right back.

"Boy's stop let's just get out of here for now ok," you told the boys with a stern look. They both looked at you. "Oh, come on (y/n), they don't know what's going on." Dean tries to reason with you.

"That doesn't make it right to do that Dean." you scolded him a bit.

He sighed and shook his head. Sam smiled a bit at the way you were acting. It was like you were a mom.

You got back to the Impala and slid into the backseat once again.

You rested against the seat and let out a small breathy laugh. "What's so funny back there mother hen?" you heard Dean ask. You laughed at the name he called you. "I was just thinking it's nice to have the gang back together. I've missed it," you said and rested a hand on each of their shoulders.

They both smiled, "I have too." Dean expressed. Sam just smiled and nodded at you both. "Yeah... me too." He said.

You got into town and went to find the boy's girlfriend. She was putting up missing flyers along with her friend.

You and the girls walked to the diner and sat down.

They told you about the story of the woman who supposedly haunts the bridge. You thank the girls and leave to go to the library.

--

There you stood next to Dean on his right side with Sam sitting to his left. Dean sat in front of the computer trying to find any info he could get on a woman who may have died on the bridge.

He typed into the Jericho Herald search bar "Female murder Hitchhiking" as soon as he hit enter nothing came up. He tried again this time with "Female Murder Centennial Highway" once again he came up with nothing. Sam sighed and reached forward

'Let me try it." he said before his brother swatted his hands away. "I got it," Dean stated. Sam then pushed Dean aside. "Dude." he protested. Without realizing Sam had pushed Dean's chair a bit too hard and it almost knocked you over. You stumbled with a yelp of surprise but didn't hit the ground as you expected. Dean had caught you just in time and held you steady.

"Damn it Sammy be more careful would ya? You almost knocked her over." Dean lightly snapped at his brother. Sam looked over at you, you could see that he felt bad. "I'm sorry (y/n), I didn't mean to. I guess I just pushed his chair too hard." He apologized. "It's ok Sammy, I know you didn't mean to," you said in reassurance.
