"What the hell?" Darren wondered, looking fearfully at the sky above him. A black cloud had just materialized just a few hundred feet above his rig. Strong gusts already started whipping his rig around from side to side.
He double clutched, dropping a few gears, allowing him to slow his massive bulk down. Water gushed down from the sky in buckets. He cranked the wipers on as hard as they would go. Perhaps it was time to look for a place to stay for the night. It was already pretty late anyway.
It might screw with his schedule but screw that, this was one hell of a storm! Better safe than sorry.
He drove for quite a while through the storm before he even found a place to pull off the road, nevermind a motel. His aching hands were gripped to the wheel in a deathlock. The punishing wind was constantly trying to yank his rig right off the road.
Finally he saw the lights of an inn up ahead. He gratefully pulled over and parked his rig. Normally he would sleep in his rig, but tonight he was going to need a shower immediately. He was okay with grabbing a room for the night.
He grabbed his bag and exited the truck. Rain and wind both pummelled him hard. The inn's sign--a giant bucking horse with the word "Bronco" emblazoned on it in neon red--was constantly in motion from the wind.
Inside it looked as though they might be able to outfit a rodeo, from all the riding accessories on the walls, and the ceiling. It wasn't overdone though.
The place was almost completely empty tonight. He could see one lonely soul sitting at the far end, hiding under a baseball cap pulled down low. He walked over to the counter where a friendly-looking woman smiled at him. "Dinner?" she asked.
"And a room, if you have one," he replied.
"Sure thing," she agreed. "I'm Rita."
"Nice to meet you Rita, I'm Darren."
After showering in his nicely appointed room Darren came back out to have dinner, and while what was left of the evening away at the bar. Eventually he was completely alone in the place, except for the lady behind the bar.
The door swung open admitting another great gust of wind, and a rather late customer in another baseball cap; they were only open for another 30 minutes. He walked right over to where Darren was sitting; by his walk he could tell he was at least 220 lb of pure muscle.
"That your rig out there?" the man asked in a smooth voice that seemed to carry. To Rita he wondered, "Have you got a room left?"
After getting a positive answer from Rita he sat down next to Darren.
"I noticed you got a pentagram painted on your truck; is that the Supernatural pentagram or something completely different?" he asked. "I'm only wondering because look at this..." He took off his hat and turned it so Darren could see the logo. It was the Supernatural pentagram, the official logo of the show.
Darren was floored, and excited to meet another fan. "You called it. You know, you look a little bit like Jared Padalecki."
"I get told that a lot, well by fans anyway. No one else knows who the hell Jared is anyway. I'm Peter," he said.
Peter had long brown hair that fell naturally onto the nape of his neck. He pierced Darren with animated brown eyes, in a high-cheekboned face. Holy shit this guy is good looking, Darren told himself.
After Darren introduced himself they started yakking naturally.
"I still can't believe they cancelled the show," Darren said.
