It breaks his heart. He survived Nam, and he survived Mary, but this, this.
Elkins had sworn up one side and down the other that he killed the last vampire a dozen years ago.
If John doesn't kill himself at dawn after burning his sons, after hunting his sons, after that fucking vampire that wasn't extinct turned Sammy and let him loose to turn Dean--if John survives till tomorrow night, he'll take a deep breath, tell Mary to wait a little longer, whisper goodbye to the best boys the world ever saw, and then he'll point his car to the north and he'll drive straight through to Colorado and the lying scum that let his boys become monsters.
If John sees tomorrow night. But Dean's out there, and Sammy, and he taught them everything they know and he loves them so much, and they wouldn't want to live like monsters, his baby boys, Mary's darlings, they wouldn't want to live like this.
He has to hunt them. He has to put them down.
And if he survives laying them to rest, then he'll go see Elkins.
And Elkins, that lying bastard--he'll pay the debt in full, for that gaping wound where the Winchester boys used to be.
