Father and Son Outting

When word had come along that there was a werewolf terrorizing local folks in a small Nebraskan town, Sam realized he had still yet to teach Michael about hunting werewolves. Michael had wanted his training to come from his father, and Sam actually enjoyed the outings.

Now that Michael was older, it was a bit harder to find things in which there both connected. It wasn't like how Sam had been with his own father, it was just that Michael was making his own path in the world, and Sam had chosen to take a step back and let his son make the choice on inviting his father into certain parts of his life.

Sam hoped it was the right choice. Fatherhood didn't come with an instruction manual, after all.

He just treated Michael how he had wanted to be treated growing up. It was the best option, and really the only thing he could think of as being the fairest way to do it.

So when the werewolf case came across his desk, Sam went up to their suite level and knocked on Michael's door, offering him a chance to do a bit of training. Michael had jumped at it, so they made plans to head out that night.

As Sam was packing, his eyes fell on the weapons safe. He remembered Dean and him talking about passing down the guns, and Sam remembered that he still had a box of silver bullets for them. It was probably the best time to do this and have it mean something more than just a gift.

He packed the guns and the rounds in his bag, then packed it all into the car to go.

Nebraska wasn't that far away, but it would involve them having to get a place to stay and setting up a post. Sam found it amusing that 200 years later, the crappy motels still existed with their bad designs, ugly wallpaper, and questionable sheets.

But it was familiar, and unless Michael had an objection, it was where they would end up staying while tracking this werewolf.

Michael didn't really have an objection, per say. He and Devon had stayed in crappier places. That didn't change the idea that the places were crappy, though. His nose wrinkled slightly as he made his way inside, but that was the end of it, dropping his gear down in the corner of the room, before crouching down and starting to go through this stuff.

"So a werewolf, huh? Do they pop up often?"

"So we have to pay a visit to the coroner's office then, to make sure," Michael nodded, before heading over and dropping down on the motel room bed, reaching for the remote for the TV. "Cool."

Michael bit his lip as he flipped through the channels, sorting through the possibilities as he went. "FBI? Figure they might know all the local PD, but they won't know the feds?"

"Oh." That was a point. He paused for a minute, before tilting his head to the side slightly. "Feds would care about a dog fighting ring, though. If the coroner's already confirmed that the marks were canine in origin, and locals could have called up to see if here were any people under suspicion in the area."

"Oh." Another point. This was hard. He hadn't had to deal with animals before. "I guess you're right."

Michael shifted slightly so that he was resting on his elbows over the articles. "All women. Does that mean anything, or is it just a coincidence?"

[identity profile] herecmestrouble.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
He considered that for a moment, before tipping his head to the side slightly. "Okay. So at least that's a clue. And at least we know we won't be considered 'prey' should that happen. Though I have a feeling that the idea that we're trying to kill it won't go over too well."

"I can imagine," he sighed. "I still have a hard time trying to explain it to people who haven't grown up in it."

"Lucky for me I live in a whole building full of them," Mike smirked, before starting to look over the articles again.

"Mickey Mouse is creepy, Dad," Michael made a face. "Seriously."

Michael squirmed slightly, before flipping through the articles. "He wasn't a kid, he was a grown man. And grown men shouldn't spend their lives dressing up as giant mice. Besides, mice shouldn't even be that size."

Michael shot his father a look, before looking over the articles again. "Nothing more than the usual weird. Is there something specific I should be seeing?"

[identity profile] herecmestrouble.livejournal.com 2009-05-16 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Michael nodded for a moment, before going over the articles a little more carefully. He looked over the pictures of the scene as well as anything else he could see, trying to find the links.
