[Timed to just after Sam's debut.]Cautiously opening up the door of his hut, John looked left, then right, and then left again. The boys were out of sight, which meant the coast was clear.

It wasn't that John wasn't happy to see Sam again. That wasn't the issue here.

The issue was what Sam had said and what was going on where he came from. John was tore up inside about that, knowing what was to come and that there wasn't a damned thing he could do to change it, change any of it.

"He's from the apocalypse, Bobby. The real damned deal -- and he started it," John said shortly, growing silent to let the gravity of that sink in.
