Sam was staring at his laptop with a stronger intent than usual as he made yet another attempt to get back into Manticore's computer system. He wasn't too surprised to see that all of the passwords had been changed - it was yet another sign that he hadn't covered his tracks well, as though Dean being taken wasn't enough of a hint - but it shouldn't have been taking him this long to get back in. Not when every minute passing strengthened the possibility of Dean getting taken farther away.
The fact that his focus kept him from having to see the disappointed look Dawn seemed to be wearing? Just a bonus.
