The diner’s fluorescent lights hummed a dull, electric drone, painting the checkered linoleum in stark contrasts. Dean fidgeted in the cracked vinyl booth, his gaze slicing through the crowd in search of a waitress. Beside him, Sam sat with a forced calm, a low murmur meant to steady his brother’s simmering irritation. The bell above the entrance jangled, and a boisterous group by the counter pivoted, their loud conversation lapping at the edges of the brothers’ space. Dean’s shoulder tensed, his hand drifting toward the concealed weight inside his jacket. Sam’s fingers closed around his wrist in a silent, urgent grip, the air between them growing taut and heavy.
