John hadn't been able to do much the last time he met up with his boys, not with Sam right there when he was trying to decide how to deal with Dean and looking ready to strike at any second. But he couldn't leave Dean alone, not like that, not with what he was...

And not when he was feeding off his own brother. God only knew what else they were doing. He knew his fair share about vampires, had researched what he could. Mind tricks and blood addictions and so many other things Sam didn't need exposure to. Thought he'd taught his boy better than that.

Just because this vampire happened to be Dean, he didn't think that earned him a free pass just because and definitely not until John got a moment alone with him at the very least.

John should have known better, should have pieced together something before Sam. Dammit, he should have been there with Dean and maybe he wouldn't have been turned at all. He should have done something at the very least. He'd lost Mary, he'd lost Sam to Stanford and a normal life that could never pan out, and then he'd lost Dean.

Thought he had. This was more painful than just losing his son, honestly. It twisted that guilt even tighter in the pit of his stomach, made him want to seethe that it had happened at all, maybe even be a little pissed at Dean for letting his guard down and rushing off into a situation like that.

And be pissed at himself for putting his son in that position.

Either way, tonight he needed to see him and needed to work this out. Needed to handle Dean before something bad happened. So the moment he got free time between cases, he tracked down Sam and Dean to some small town where they were staying for the time being. After that, it was just a matter of staking the motel out that they were in and sending Dean a text that simply said to meet him and where to go.

He chose somewhere out of the way, secluded. Away from the road and with plenty of trees covering whatever might happen tonight.

He specified to leave Sam at the room, asleep or make up some excuse to get out. After that, he drove to the spot and got out some supplies--silver in case he had to slow Dean down if things turned in that direction. After that, he just leaned against the side of his truck, arms crossed and waiting on Dean to show up.

Hopefully, he did. He really didn't want to have to find a way to drag him out here.

This was earlier than he'd wanted to show up, too soon to contact Sam, but it was too urgent to pass up too. As much as Sam was probably sure John didn't keep any tabs on what he was doing, how he was doing, he hadn't turned a blind eye to his son. Some interesting news got back to him too... how Sam had a partner now and not just any partner, but Dean Winchester.

It had been... too hard to wrap his mind around at first. He'd spent this entire time thinking his eldest was dead, so sure he'd seen his body, so sure he'd left him. He couldn't just not check it out, not when more than one person had told him and not when there was even the slightest chance Sam might be in danger.

He hadn't raised a fool.

Or well, he hadn't thought.

It hadn't been too hard tracking down his son... his sons. It hadn't been hard to get into their room as soon as they'd left either. There was an extra duffel with Dean's clothes in it, some of his son's things... and John, admittedly, had to fight off the nostalgia and any other emotion that tried to sweep him up. He couldn't afford that right now. There was a black cloth tucked under the mattress for precaution and TruBlood in the fridge.

John was standing in the middle of the room when he heard the familiar sound of the Impala pulling up outside and all he could do was stare around the room, his mind racing. His eldest was a vampire, a monster and he didn't give a damn what the papers said or who tried to convince him you could trust a vampire. They were monsters... and he thought- God, he thought he'd taught Sam better than to risk his own ass like this, even if it was a monster wearing Dean's face, who acted like him and spoke like him.

It was still a monster who'd always have a drive to feed on human blood, who'd always be a potential danger.

He ignored the sharp jab in his own chest when he realized what had really happened to his own son, the regret and the guilt.

"Hello, boys," he managed when he heard the door open, turning to face them. John couldn't even fake a smile, a halfway pleasant look.

Dean was here, but... he didn't think he could be glad to see him, even if he'd spent every day since his son's death wishing just for that. He'd never meant like this.

He had to get answers though, figure out... just what the hell to do.
