I need you to come over. You're not safe on your own tonight. Dean is back, he's a demon. Sam's dead, and I get the feeling he's not going to stop there. Charlie is coming, and Maxine and Sam have been asked too. I know your room is warded like crazy, but I'd feel a lot better if you were where I could see you tonight. I want to make sure everyone stays safe. First floor, room 44. Please.
[For a hot second, Adam had been having an okay day. He should know by now the universe has to balance that with something shitty.
Dean coming back after being missing? That's bad enough. But Dean stepping up his asshole game by coming back with no soul and killing the brother he'd sacrificed Adam to save once is a whole new level of crap he really doesn't want to deal with. If he had a choice in the matter, though, this wouldn't be happening.
Adam allows himself one deep breath, re-reads Jo's text a second time, then replies.]
Are YOU okay?
[If anyone's high up on a demonic Dean's hit list, it must be Jo; making sure his half-brother isn't banging down her door is the first thing he thinks to do.
The second thing, he doesn't need to be asked twice about.]
Fine, I'll come. Don't worry about me, I'll be there.
[That brings Adam up short for a second or two. It also tells him everything he needs to know.
Dean had gone after her? Sam is one thing--Sam is someone who hadn't cared about Adam in his hour of need, and Adam returns the favor--but Jo is quite another. Human. Still decent. Not someone Dean has dibs to smack around while he has his... his fucking crisis of humanity or whatever.
It never takes much to kindle his temper, but he reserves a special fury for this.]
3/16, evening.
Dean is back, he's a demon. Sam's dead, and I get the feeling he's not going to stop there.
Charlie is coming, and Maxine and Sam have been asked too. I know your room is warded like crazy, but I'd feel a lot better if you were where I could see you tonight.

[Plus Cas fixed her up after Maxine had given her a once-over, so she's about as well-off as she can be right about now.]
I'll see you when you get here. Feel free to bring Cooper.

Then you can tell me what the hell happened.
