The hunt is fast. Brutal. No jokes.

Dean leads. Sam calls shots. Castiel moves like a shield. Jack holds back—too much power, too much risk.

The monster lunges for Jack.

Dean doesn’t hesitate. He takes the hit.

Castiel kills it.

Jack freezes, horror dawning. “You didn’t have to—”

Dean wipes blood from his mouth. “Yeah, I did.”

Castiel’s voice is low, fierce. “This is what family does.”

Jack swallows hard.
