I'm so sorry about your friend's father. It is always difficult to loose a parent Hope you are okay now. Don't worry about the late update, I understand. It was worth waiting for. Really nicely written. I'm glad Dean got to save Sam. But Sam sure is in bad shape mentally. And now he is in the hands of 'ghost' Jedediah. So now I wonder what's going to happen next and if Dave is going to do anything about the 'high-profile' fugitives, now that he knows. Can't wait for the next chapter. Hugs, Vonnie

Author's Response:

Thanks Vonnie. I think it was doubly hard, not just because I knew Sharyn's dad, but because my grandfather's death was not all that long ago, and it brought back a bit of my grief, too.

As for the story - yes, Sam is in bad shape, and it's about to get worse - cue scary music any time now...*hugs back* - I love hugs!...Jules

Fantastic chapter, I can't get enough of this story, Dean being all protective  an all, and now having to go and rescue Sam again, Can't wait for the next chapter Please post soon.  One of my favourites.

Author's Response: Thank you for that - hope you keep enjoying it. And hope I didn't keep you waiting too long - I went out tonight with a friend to a concert and have only just got home - naughty me, having a social life on posting night...*holds out hand to be smacked*...LOL...Jules

Awesome update and one major cliffie there - Sam stuck with a homicidal maniac and Dean faced with someone who knows who they are! You don't do things by half, do you? I feel so sorry for them both with all this tension, especially as it's making them throw out really cruel words at each other :( And now, just when Dean might have an idea, Dave thinks he knows who/what they are.. This is so not good! Even in the midst of the tension though, this made me chuckle:

"Dad didn't - do something..." Giving a snort of annoyance, Dean shook his head as he came to a halt on the sidewalk. "Come on, Dean - of course he didn't. And even if he did, it would have happened right away, not two weeks later." He suddenly stiffened, glancing around, a dull flush colouring his cheeks. And I'm standing here talkin' out loud to myself like some freakin' nut job.  That's just great.

*lol* Poor Dean, it really is driving him crazy! Can't wait for the next chapter and hope you're feeling rested now after your unfortunate trip :) 

Author's Response:

Hi, Michaela - no, I never do things by half - lol. I just jump in feet first and cross my fingers.

And yep, it's really driving Dean mad what is going on - but he's onto the things trail now, so hopefully he'll rescue little brother before Sam gets into any more hot water....hopefully....Jules

In your words, he got Daphne'd again!!!! i swear, maybe Sam needs to carry an evil-repellent or something...LOL

I hope Dean comes to the rescue and give that person a good thrashing! 

Author's Response:

He did indeed get Daphne'd! Actually, it was Catchme21's words, used long ago in a reply to one of Windyfontaine's stories. Kristen very generously let me pinch it. And I've used it a few times now. LOL - evil-repellant - wonder what it would be called? But yes, he definitely needs one - perhaps Dean should make a portable salt circle for him - what do you think?

Ahh, you are about to get your wish - pissed big brother to the rescue!...Jules

Excellent chapter. At least Dean figured out, that he needs to stay away from Sam, which is tragic, but hopefully they will find the way out soon. Bobby is on the case too, which is great. Only now Sam is in trouble again, I guess, it has to be the guy from the bar. If Sam's rage comes back, he might just kill him, unless the guy gets the better of him before that. Can't wait for the next chapter. I'm hoping for an early update, but I don't want to rush you either. Hugs, Vonnie

Author's Response: Thanks Vonnie. Yes, Dean's got it sussed that it's his presence that is triggering the rage. He just needs to track down the source. And yep, it's the bruiser from the pub. Dean better hurry back....Jules

one week Jules, ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME??!! Okay, i know Dean's on his way, i know Sam will be fine, but dammit, a whole week to wait! Well, then one week without lovely pictures for you!

Author's Response: And I have tortured you by being late, resulting in an email and a gentle nudge - LOL. Sorry hon. Real life strikes again. But I'm here, and I have another cliffie - I mean chapter, to feed your addiction. Ouch - no piccies of Dean for a week???? Oh, well...*takes deep breath*....Jules

Fantastic chapter and story, Sam does get ticked off easily around Dean doesn't he. Looking forward to your next update.

Author's Response: He does indeed - something about Dean's presence, or what he says....we find out soon what it's all about. Thanks so much for reading....Jules

Reviewer: CdeWinter78 (Signed) · Date: 18/07/08 09:38 AM · On: Chapter 5

Soooo ungentlemanly!!!!!! Great Cliffhanger - really not expecting that one!

Sam's rage is interesting - only triggered by Deans presence. The way you have both brothers secret fears woven into your plot is brilliant and adds plausibility and weight to your story. Sam's request for holy water was touching - it really is his worst nightmare isn't it? And Dean confiscating the laptop from his brother reveals his worst fear to a tee.

Dean heading back for his wallet - hope he catches the bar brawler in time. Great story - loved the way you are simmering the tension and drawing out the mystery with your perfect pace. Can't wait (but there are no more "next" buttons to click so I'll have to!!!!!! Damn!) for next chapter - thanks for the read!

Author's Response:

Definitely not the Marquis of Queensbury rules, was it?

Yes, it is Sam's worst nightmare - that, and losing his brother in a year's time. And Dean's is of course Sam fiddling with the deal and getting himself killed. Ah, there is a "next" button very soon - thanks so much for reading, and for your wonderfully insightful comments....Jules

Reviewer: CdeWinter78 (Signed) · Date: 18/07/08 08:16 AM · On: Chapter 3

OK are we to assume that mean broody, possibly psychotic killer, black alter ghost guy just let Sam go after tossing him around like a rag doll? I am betting no.

Love the spot on sarcastic tone you have going with Dean - especially when he nails Sam for lying and going on a hunt alone.

They are both getting a little hands on - crossing lines that neither probably goes near. Sam's final comment about Dean's possible alternative deal was definitely no holds barred.

On to next chapter - as I can't leave Dean this way!!!! ;-) 

Author's Response: Yes the gloves are coming off, and Sam's going for the jugular at times - but is it him, or something else? Glad you're still enjoying it...Jules

Reviewer: CdeWinter78 (Signed) · Date: 18/07/08 06:50 AM · On: Chapter 1

Your scene setting in this chapter is very good - you put us right back into that time and firmly in each of the brothers heads. The tension, between them because of the deal is made worse by the attack on Sam and you go right to the heart of Dean's tension by having Sam refuse at first to talk about it.

Loved the description of Dean waiting out his brothers silence because he can read him THAT well. The other nice touch was that there was a slight thaw in Sam's cold front when the Impala was in danger, very nicely done. You depict the bond as fluently with gestures and actions as you do with words.

I am a little suspicious of this Dave guy though - maybe just my suspicious nature though!!!

On to Ch2!

Author's Response:

Thank you for that. When I set a story, I go back to the episodes either side of it in the time frame, and watch to see where the boys' heads are and what's happening, just so I can get it right. Glad it pays off.

Ahh, Dave - well, you could be onto something there - then again, I could just be messing with your mind. I tend to do that - it's my love of Agatha Christie mysteries. Thanks so much for reading...Jules

Awe poor Sammy, sleeping pills.  Dean is now on big brother duty until he figures out what is wrong.  Great chapter.

Denise

Author's Response: Hey Denise! Yes, Dean's still on big brother duty, despite his little brother's unreasonable spikes of anger. And don't worry - Dean's getting closer to working it out...Jules

Reviewer: mymuseandi (Signed) · Date: 12/07/08 12:47 PM · On: Chapter 4

He called bobby?? isn't that going to widen the rift between them, Dean not trusting Sam enough to leave him alone? or maybe Dean just called to ask Bobby for something?? cuz i don't think it's anything wrong with Sam, but i think something's messing with his mind maybe?????

Author's Response:

Well, calling Bobby won't widen the rift - but everything else seems to be doing just that. And you're right, something is messing with Sam's mind, ramping up his anger - let's hope they find out what it is before things get worse...Jules

Loved the bar fight, really well done, and something's seriously wrong with our Sammyboy.  Great job- Kel ;)

 

Author's Response: Thanks for that Kel - aww, thank you. I do like to give Sam a bit to do sometimes. Even though in this case, it's something else pulling the strings....Jules
