The characters of Dean and Sam Winchester are from the TV series Supernatural and are owned by Eric Kripke and the CW Network. Here's the second chapter, and I hope you are enjoying the storyline so far!

"What was that all about?" Jessi looked across the table at Dean.
"Ignore him. Sam and I have a volatile relationship just like you and Nikki seem to." He said as he put a slice of tomato on his hamburger.
"Your brother seems to be crushing on my little sis." She smiled slyly between bites of her hot dog. "They look cute together, but don't tell Nikki I said that."
"Yeah, I'm glad Sam has met someone he seems to have something in common with." He smiled back at her, taking a big bite of his burger.
"Yeah, well." She replied, wiping her lips with a napkin. "I guess nerds need love too."
Dean laughed. "Yeah, to be honest I think it's been a while since Sammy has gotten laid too. But don't tell your sister that, she'll think he's some sort of sex maniac if he touches her again."
Jessi laughed at his comment, but she was secretly undressing him with her eyes. "I bet it hasn't even been 24 hours since you've gotten laid, you hottie!" She thought to herself. "Man, I bet you are a tiger in the sack."
"So what's your story?" He asked as he picked up a hot dog from the plate with a fork.
"That's none of your business!" She said defensively, wondering if he was actually asking how long it had been since she'd gotten laid.
Dean noticed her sudden change in demeanor. "Oh no! No! No! I didn't mean that! I meant what do you do for a living!"
"Oh!" She laughed. "I work here on the farm. I had to since both our parents were killed in a car accident when I was twenty. I stayed here and took care of the place so Nikki could go off to college."
"I know all about sacrifice." He replied, glancing toward the door where Sam had went to look for Nikki. "I've been looking out for Sam since we were little kids. I'm all he's got."
Jessi could sense that Dean really cared for his brother even through they seemed to have their ups and downs. There for a split second she saw his hard, bad boy exterior crack a little.
"So what do you do for a living?" She asked, interested. She was totally spellbound by him, and was dying to know more about him even though her inner voice kept telling her not to get too involved.
Dean looked up to meet her gaze. He sure couldn't tell her that he hunts demons and ghosts for a living. She would think he was crazy and run the other way, then he'd never get in her pants. And getting into her pants was all he could think about right now.
"It's not that hard of a question." She laughed, noticing how he hesitated at her simple question. "You're not an ax murderer or serial killer are ya?"
"Nah." Dean smiled a big smile. "Actually I'm a bounty hunter. I'm between jobs right now, and Sammy is taking a break from school. Then this land issue came up, so here we are." He sat there pleased with himself; he didn't really lie to her, he just didn't say what he hunted.
"Bounty hunter, huh?" Jessi eyed him more closely. She couldn't tell if he was shooting her a bunch of bull, or if he really was an actual bounty hunter. Either way she found him even more intriguing and sexy now.
She had pushed the land dispute issue to the back of her mind, but had not let herself forget entirely about it. Anytime a problem came up that affected her or her baby sister, Jessi liked to size up her competition and look for their weaknesses. She made a mental note that Sam was definitely Dean's weakness. If this guy was a real bounty hunter like he claimed to be, that meant that he was one tough customer and was prepared for anything. He didn't seem like the vigilante type though, but more like he did his hunting for a purpose and not just for monetary reasons.

Sam quickly made his way through the old farm house. He had no idea where he was going, or if he was even heading in the right direction to find Nikki. All he knew for sure was that she was upset and he had to find her to make sure she was ok. Passing by the large living room, he suddenly had a very sharp pain in the side of his temple.
"What the hell!" He said out loud as he grabbed onto the wall to steady himself against the sudden burst of pain. Looking into the dark living room, he had a sudden feeling of fear wash over him. Quickly shaking the feeling off and figuring it was just hunger pangs causing his sudden headache, he moved toward the front door.
As he stepped out onto the front porch, Atom brushed by in a flash of golden fur. Sam jumped as the dog walked two steps in front of him and looked back. He had the feeling the dog was trying to tell him where Nikki was.
"Do you know where Nikki is, boy?" He walked up to the dog, petting him on the head. "Take me to her!"
Atom barked as if to say "yes" and then jumped off the porch. Sam ran down the steps so he could keep up with his new four-legged friend. Atom led him down a small hill and stopped short of a field of wildflowers. There in the very center sat Nikki with her back toward the house.
"Thanks boy." Sam rubbed Atom's head and back vigorously. The dog held his left paw in the air and Sam shook it and laughed. "I'll take it from here."
Nikki sat in the middle of the colorful field with her head in her hands. Sam noticed that she had her laptop beside her, but it was closed. As he walked closer, a slight breeze swayed the flowers. They moved as if to motion him to come closer. Over the warm breeze he could hear her quietly sobbing, and he felt his heart drop.
"Is this a private party or can anybody join in?" He asked, standing a few feet behind her. If she wanted to be alone he didn't want to intrude and get too close. He decided he would leave if she wanted some time to herself.
"You can come sit with me if you want." Nikki turned slightly so Sam could only see the side of her face. She quickly wiped tears from her cheeks as he waded through the wildflowers to sit in the small clearing beside her. Her face was very red from crying, and Sam felt a pang of sadness for her.
"I brought you a peace offering." He said as he sat down on the cool ground beside her.
"But you didn't do anything." Nikki looked at him with swollen eyes.
"I know, but I'm sure your sister wants to apologize. Just think of this as a pre-apology. Here, this is for you." He took a bunch of daisies out from behind his back that he had picked when he was walking through the field.
Nikki felt her heart flutter. "That is so sweet!" She smiled, taking the bouquet from him. "How did you know that I like daisies out of all these flowers in this field?"
"I saw the daisy stickers on your laptop." He pointed at her laptop covered with dozens of colorful stickers. "I have that same laptop, by the way. Only without the daisies."
She laughed. "Yeah, I would be kinda worried if you did."
"That's what I like to see...a smile!" He said as he stared into her eyes. "You are way too pretty to be crying." He slowly reached up and moved a stray piece of hair that was stuck behind her glasses.
"I don't know about that." She said, wiping a leftover tear from a damp cheek. "I probably look hideous right now. You are just being nice."
