The Winchesters are standing in the woods watching John's body burn, Sam is near tears and Dean is staring silently at the flames

"Before he... Before did he say anything to you?" Sam asked "about anything?"

"No nothing" answered Dean

One week later, the Winchester's are at Bobby's scrapyard as Dean is underneath his car mending it when Sam and Shay approaches

"How's the car coming along?" asked Sam

"Slow" replied Dean

"Do you need any help?" asked Sam

"What?" asked Dean "you under a hood, I pass"

"Need anything else then?" asked Sam

Dean comes out from underneath the car and stands up facing Sam then looks at Shay

"Sam just stop it" said Dean

"Stop what?" asked Sam

"Daddy he not dumb" said Shay

"Stop asking if I need anything, stop asking if I'm okay. I'm okay. Really. I promise" answered Dean

"All right, Dean, it's just... We've been at Bobby's for over a week now and you haven't brought up Dad once" replied Sam

"You know what? You're right. Come here. I'm gonna lay my head gently on your shoulder. Maybe we can cry, hug, and maybe even slow dance" explained Dean

Shay giggles at the silliness

"Don't patronize me, Dean, Dad is dead. The Colt is gone, and it seems pretty damn likely that the demon is behind all of this, and you're acting like nothing happened" said Sam

"What do you want me to say?" questioned Dean

"Say something, all right? Hell, say anything! Aren't you angry? Don't you want revenge? But all you do is sit out here all day long buried underneath this damn car" Sam answered

"Revenge huh?" asked Dean

"Yeah" said Sam

"REVENGE ON THE BASTARD" shouted Shay

Sam stares at Shay in shock at his language as Dean chuckles slightly

"Sounds good. You got any leads on where the demon is? Making heads or tails of any of Dad's research? Because I sure ain't. But you know, if we do finally find it - oh. No, wait, like you said. The Colt's gone. But I'm sure you've figured out another way to kill it. We've got nothing, Sam. Nothing, okay? So you know the only thing I can do? Is I can work on the car" Dean explained "I taught Shay the bad word"

Dean crouches by the car again getting back to work

"We found something listen" said Sam

Sam hands Dean the phone "John, it's Ellen. Again. Look, don't be stubborn, you know I can help you. Call me" Sam looks at Dean and replies "that message is 4 months old"

"Dad saved that chick's messages for months" replied Dean "who Ellen, any mention of her in dad's journal"

"I ran a trace on her phone number and got a house address" answered Sam

"Ask Bobby if we can use one of his cars" replied Dean

They make their way to the car that Bobby is lending them as they park near a path

"I hate this fucking vehicle, I feel like soccer mom" whined Dean

"It's the only car Bobby had running and we even had to move Shay's car seat in this car" answered Sam
