If Natalie hadn't dropped that bombshell, Ben would have already been back at the door by the time it swung open. As it was, he was only halfway there, already cursing beneath his breath about whatever situation he was going to be in because of his big-mouth baby sister, when it swung open to reveal their dad
And he looked pissed.
"You are in so much trouble," he said severely in Natalie's direction over the sound of her shriek, then turned to glare at Megan. "And you were supposed to be watching her, you know she's the fu- freaking weakest link!"
He should have known that his dad wouldn't accept the fact that he'd showed up at the house, only to keep leaving for huge chunks of time at a time. Maybe, deep down, he'd wanted just that, because while he could refuse to answer people's questions until he was blue in the face and try to keep his secrets, he really couldn't help it if he dad came barging into the place of two of those secrets, right?
God, he looked so pissed. This was not going to be fun.
"Hey, Dad, how's it going?" he said, slumping back against the closest wall as though he hadn't a care in the world. Acting cool, that was the way of this Winchester when he was pretty sure his dad was going to rip him a new asshole and he had no idea how much said dad knew about the topic about to be yelled about.
