Ok - I totally didn't see that coming! Although I have to say that I had a similar (if you really stretched it) kind of scenario sitting half written on my computer too! It just makes sense for Dean to remove himself from Sam if he doesn't want him to save him - sort of keep temptation out of his sight as it were. I have a feeling though that there is more going on here. So Jed's mother died when he was six months old - if Sam is so smart, why didn't he immediately ask how she died? I'm betting it was a house fire! I'm also betting that the poor sod across the road didn't kill anybody - including himself! Of course, Sam didn't find out how his mother died either! I'm thinking that Dean can't really be gone - I mean the Impala isn't fixed and he would never leave the Impala now would he??? Patiently waiting til Friday to find out...... is it Friday yet?????
Author's Response: Fooled you, eh? *pats self on head*... Oh, and I hope you got my email - you HAVE to keep going with your story idea, Lisa. I'll be looking forward to its posting with unabashed glee. Hmm, no, Sam didn't ask, did he? He was so caught up in the story, and the after-effects of what has been going on for the last few weeks, he's a bit distracted. And we all know that's never a good thing... And Dean - well, let's see if he really did leave the Impala, and his brother, behind, shall we?....Jules

Great update, as usual. You can really feel the tension escalating between the boys and it's keeping me on the edge of my seat! The old guy is slightly creepy and it's a curious story for sure. I did like the bit with the text, and the one word answer that showed all was ok with them, but poor Sam getting caught researching the deal - now Dean is really pissed *sigh* Amid all the angst and tension though, this really did make me laugh out loud; A burst of music drowned out the tall hunter's grumbled cursing as he dumped his duffle on the dusky pink bedspread. Snatching the phone from his pocket, he flipped it open without looking at the caller ID. "You over your pissy mood?" A startled grunt came over the phone. "Didn't know I was in one," Bobby's gravelly voice muttered wryly. Priceless! Looking forward to more..
Author's Response: Thanks Michaela. Lol - got to love Bobby - I just couldn't resist that temptation to have Dean really put his foot in it. Yes, they're both under a lot of strain at the moment. Both touchy regarding anything to do with the deal. Hope nothing decides to stir the pot even further.....Jules

awww no! Dean's gone! That's no good. Especially if Sam decideds to investigate that haunted house! ~Kayla
Author's Response: Definitely not - and we all know how pig-headed both Winchesters can be - lol. Stirring times ahead. Thanks, Kayla.....Jules

Wow, great chapter, I liked old Jed talking about the Larsen's story. Also, Dean's story about his adventure made me giggle. I was almost shocked about Dean's reaction though, when he found out Sam was still researching the deal. I wonder, if he will ever learn, that he can't give his life for Sam and expect his brother to do any less in return. He has to accept that Sam loves him just as much as he loves him and give him the right to do the same things as he does, no matter how difficult it is. Really excellent story. Hugs, Vonnie
Author's Response: Thanks for that, Vonnie. Dean's reaction was rage driven by fear - after all, Sam drops dead if he screws in any way with the deal, and he can't let that happen. And I know exactly what you mean by Dean not seeing how much he means to Sam. I feel they both have this blind spot not only for each other, but for themselves. They both love each other, and would willingly give their lives for each other, but their own self-worth is lower than a snake's belly. Makes you just want to give them both either a kick up the bum or a big warm hug....or perhaps both...Jules

Dave seems a litle too nice, Jed has a little too much in common and Dean is acting strangely agressive towards Sam....hmmm?? Did Dean REALLY leave? OMG, Sam always leaves its about time the tables turned. What is it about bathrooms that lend themselves to act as sanctuaries from family drama?
Author's Response: Oh, my gosh, you're suspicious of everyone! LOL! Hmm, wonder if that's a reflection on my OC's...*scratches head*... Not sure how come the bathroom is considered 'safe'. Possibly because it's handy, it has a door, and when you're in there, you really don't wish to be disturbed - it is sort of a sanctuary of sorts, isn't it? Think Sam's going to spend a bit of time in there, eh?...Jules

what...dean's gone y? This is great 10 out of 10, i love it, update soon. Danny xxx
Author's Response: Thank you and welcome, Danny. And yep, Dean seems to be AWOL at the present moment. Has he just gone for coffee, been snatched by some supernatural force, kidnapped by fangirls, or is it his turn to run away this time?...*grins evilly*...Jules
Reviewer: fredo (Signed) · Date: 04/07/08 10:48 AM · On: Chapter 2
well, it's about time. Dean was absolutely right to ditch once and for all this annoying, whining, hairy, geeky, demon-blooded, little brother. Now suck it up Sam, and get you a life!
Author's Response: OMG!!!!!!!! Poor, poor Sammy....um, hairy? But I thought you liked his lovely long locks... Oh, hon, you're going to have the Sammy girls after you well and truly - lol. Let's see how well Sam does at sucking it up, shall we?....Jules

No no way don't believe it Sammy!! He's not gone!! Dean would never walk away...he's just fixing the Impala so he can get you out of town....I promise Sammy.... Right Jules.....right!!! Come on honey don't go splitting up our boys, good things never come of it ;) Great update - Kel
Author's Response: Right, Kel...I think...*checks story notes, sits on hands and whistles*.... Now, if I didn't split them up, there wouldn't be as much fun, now would there? LOL. Thanks for that - more angst coming...Jules

I really liked this chapter. It was a bit like a rollercoaster. First it seemed like the tension was gonna ease, then they'd fight again, then they'd soften, then fight again. Which obviously is the point of the story. lol Loved that in this chapter though. I'm very curious about the ending and can't wait to see what happens next.
Author's Response: Hi, Vanessa - oh, you're first cab off the rank for the second chapter. That was fast. Yep, the boys' emotions are see-sawing back and forth, and will continue for quite some time yet...Jules

Yay for new story! Can't wait to see where this one goes. :) Great start - very angsty, but it moves along very nicely. Although, it's pretty much impossible to not have angst with this show. Keep up the great work!
Author's Response: It is, isn't it? Unless you're doing straight out humour, or sticking to stories set in season 1. I think the season 4 stories will be the darkest yet. Great to have you along for another crazy trip, hon. Hope you enjoy...Jules

Great first chapter, looking forward to the rest of the story, so I hope you are busy writing.
Author's Response: Thanks Maureen - well, I am busy writing as a matter of fact - lol. Trying to write after work, which is a bit difficult this week. Never mind. It'll all come out in the wash....hope you like the next chapter...Jules
Reviewer: fredo (Signed) · Date: 27/06/08 08:25 AM · On: Chapter 1
so tell me now Jules, were you a mechanic in past life??! Great start, but poor Impala... And Dave's a nice character, hope we'll see him more. And don't worry, not slow at all. Why rush, i like strong and detailed building ups. Although if you really are worried, then i'd suggest to switch your once a week posting by a bi-weekly updating. No? Crap, well i tried...
Author's Response: LOL - no, hon, I just had some good teachers. And I have worked on my own cars during my lifetime - put a new gasket kit in the carburettor of my six cylinder Falcon I had a few years ago. All by myself too. The only problem I had was reaching the damned thing - I'm short, and the motor was rather big, so I ended up laying across the top of the radiator and tappet (valve) cover to get to the carby. Bi-weekly posts, eh? Don't you think my beta would kill me? Or her husband would kill me..... anyway... Yes, I broke poor Metallicar - but I promise she will be back on the road by the end of the story - lol. Oh, you like Dave? That's good....I think....*grins evilly*...Jules

Already like this one and can't wait for the next chapter. I don't think it is slow, just has the proper set up. I like that in a story. Hope it will have a lot of limp Sam in it, but no matter what, I'm sure, it will be just as good as your others, maybe even better. Hugs, Vonnie
Author's Response: Thanks Vonnie - great to have you along. Um - as for Limp Sam - well, poor Sam does get a little the worse for wear by the end - lol. Hope you enjoy the next chapter....Jules

Ooohh, nice start. I love when there's a bit of tension between the boys (as long as it doesn't go on forever -- hehe). I'm definitely looking forward to the next chapter to see where things are heading.
Author's Response: Hi, Vanessa. Ahh, the tension - well, it actually does go on for a bit - lol. But not forever. And there are a couple of twists before the boys work out what is going on....Jules

Ok - you had me going as soon as they broke up at the Impala - Ithought - oh, not good when they separate... Then I thought they were safe when they got back to the motel together.... Your knowledge of cars is just plain scary! I LOVE Dean cooing over the Impala... I have to say that while Dean was a little selfish in making the deal, I really wonder if Sam ever really got it - nice to see him have the penny drop at least a little ways here. Sure Dean doesn't want to be alone, but in the end Dean's self-preservation switch was turned off a long time ago when it comes to Sam. On some level, I'm not sure if Sam can ever fully understand that...
Author's Response: Hey, Lisa - and no, they're not exactly safe at the motel - or are they...? My knowledge of cars comes from a few sources - what I have learned myself through watching my uncles and grandfather work on vehicles, 12 years working at a car parts and accessories store and the guys there answering my endless questions, and some fine-tuning by a mechanic that I used to do the books for - I asked him one day what would take down a '67 Impala automatic without too much down-time or damage, and Mick came up with the torque convertor bearing - and when one of those little buggers lets go, it's rather spectacular - lots of lovely thick white smoke and no power. Which is just what I put Metallicar through. As for the deal, I do think Sam got it. But I don't think he thinks he was worth the sacrifice. And he's terrified of losing the only family he has left. If it came down to Dean vs himself, I think Sam would rather that he died and Dean lived. Despite all their differences, Sam loves his big brother - probably even more than he did his father. And to think that in one year, Dean will die and go to hell - I think that the sheer enormity of it is overwhelming to Sam. They're both so willing to give their lives for each other, but each brother doesn't think he himself is worth the life of the other. They're a complicated pair.
Reviewer: Taliena (Signed) · Date: 27/06/08 04:59 AM · On: Chapter 1
Great first chappie, Jules! You capture Sam's mind in "overdrive" very well - loved Sam's reflection on: "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends," Sam quoted softly. "Substitute ‘friend' for ‘brother'." I look forward to where you take us next!
Author's Response: Thank you for that - glad to have you along. I'm a Dean girl, and I make no secret of that fact, but I do love Sam, and I think (hope) I understand how he ticks. He's just as complicated as his big brother, and he's fiercely passionate, which makes him quite emotional - but not in a weak or soppy way. It's quite a challenge to get inside his head sometimes.....Jules
Reviewer: SupernaturalGeek (Signed) · Date: 27/06/08 02:56 AM · On: Chapter 1
Yay! I'm very happy to see this posted as it's one of my favourites of yours. You are more than welcome btw for my 'permission', as it were, but there really was no need for you to worry - it is different enough to mine I doubt anyone would even have noticed! I loved the first chapter, even though I winced when the Impala shuddered to a halt. Despite the tension between the boys I still had to giggle at this bit, it was so Dean; Dean's grin was forced. "Yeah, sure - I'll just get my instant workshop kit out of the trunk. Better stand back when I hit the Activate button - the thing's freakin' huge. Got a working hoist and everything." "A simple ‘no' would have been fine, Dean." LOL! But now I'm sad, with Sam having stalked off and poor Dean not knowing what's up. Looking forward to the next chapter :) I'm now off to recreate scenes from Phantom Traveller at the airport *gulp*
Author's Response: Thank you Michaela - and thanks for the go-ahead. Hope your flight went well, and hope you didn't have to reach for the bourbon 40 minutes into the trip - LOL. I know, I broke the Impala - well, technically Dean broke the Impala....*whistles innocently*...but she won't be down for long - just long enough....*cue evil laugh*.....Jules
