Summary 

A rash of mysterious sightings of an equally mysterious person, a shocking family secret, and the realization that there is more to the world than he first realized all lead to the most intense Halloween Jimmy Novak has ever had in his entire life.

Teaser:

There it was again.

Jimmy’s head whipped around but it was already gone. His feet stuttered to a stop, his arm pulling and moving without it him until Dean, too, stopped and turned to look at his boyfriend in concern.

“Jimmy? What’s wrong?” Dean walked back, still holding Jimmy’s hand.

“I…I don’t know. I thought I saw…never mind.” Jimmy shook his head and laughed a little, the sound of it odd to even his own ears. “I think all the spooky decorations going up are starting to get to me. Tell me again why Halloween is your favorite time of year?”

“Free. Candy.” Dean stated with a grin.

Jimmy laughed again, the sound freer and more real this time. “Dude, you can’t even go trick or treating. How are you going to get free candy?”

“Easy. I’m gonna steal it from Sammy,” Dean’s grin got even wider and Jimmy’s laugh grew more boisterous.

“You are ridiculous. And a horrible older brother,” Jimmy teased as they started walking again. What he’d thought he’d seen completely forgotten.

Until a couple of days later as he stood waiting to cross the street. He glanced up from his phone to check the road – needlessly, as the cars were still whipping past at what he was fairly certain were over the limit speeds – only to see it again.

Him.

But it couldn’t be. It just wasn’t possible. Right? Dark, messy hair, blue eyes, a little scruffier looking than Jimmy was but it was still him. Jimmy felt like he was looking into an odd mirror. The clothes were different, and the man across the street staring at him had a sad, soulful gaze. But it was him . It was Jimmy. Except that he was Jimmy, so how could the stranger also be Jimmy?

They stared into each other’s eyes, Jimmy gaping as he tried to figure out what was going on, until a semi rumbled down the street amidst the other cars, temporarily blocking his view of the stranger.

When the truck was gone, so was the doppelganger.

The light changed and Jimmy shook his head and crossed the street, pushing the incident out of his mind.
