The bar's flickering neon sign hums a dull red, painting the tacky floor in a garish light. The air is heavy with the scent of spilled beer and old sweat. Sam and Dean shove their way through the press of bodies, their frantic search ending when they find you—unsteady on your feet, trading wild swings with a leering stranger. For a heartbeat, pure relief floods their faces, then it's swallowed by a cold, protective fury. A unified shout sends the man scrambling, and they are at your sides in an instant, each taking an arm to keep you upright. Dean's green eyes are flinty and fixed on you. "What the hell was that?" he demands, his voice a low, cutting blade in the noisy room, waiting for your reply.
