John's Lock-up
In 3.03 Bad Day at Black Rock, a call comes to John's Cell Phone, which Dean has kept charged. The caller informs them that there has been break-in at a lock-up, located somewhere in upstate New York (in 5.01 Sympathy For The Devil the address is revealed as Castle Storage, 42 Rover Hill) belonging to "Edgar Cayce," an alias of John's. Upon investigating, the boys find the storage area guarded against demons with a Devil's trap, and a trip wire which fires a rifle (propped up on a warthog's skull).
In the lock-up is an extensive weapons cache, including a landmine. They also find mementos from their childhood. There is also a collection of Curse Boxes, built by Bobby.
In 5.01 Sympathy For The Devil, Zachariah lures Dean and Sam here by implanting a fake vision in Chucks head. Chuck then sends one of his fans Becky Rosen out to tell Sam & Dean about his vision, that the "angels have lost the Michael Sword" and that it is to be found "in a castle, on a hill made of 42 dogs" (Castle Storage, 42 Rover Hill). Zachariah tries to coerce Dean into becoming the Archangel Michael's vessel.
Items in the lock-up
- Sam's 1995 Division Championship Soccer trophy
- The first sawed-off shotgun Dean ever made (in 6th grade)
- Curse Boxes
- A coffin draped in a flag
- Michael's Sword - At first, Dean determines that Michale's Sword is somewhere in John's Lockup - But Zachariah later disproves this when he reveals that Dean himself is the angelic weapon and that his purpose is to become Michael's Vessel.
Michael's Sword was said to be located at John's Lock-up, however this notion has been proved to be incorrect. Some time after Michael’s fight with Lucifer he lost his sword, this sword fell to Earth. Dean has been referred to as being Michael's sword, his weapon, his...Vessel.
