He slows down, about to throw the scythe away and explain that he's not gonna hurt him, but... It's not right, what Sam asks him. That's not the question Sam would have asked if they had been snatched together. 'What happened?' or 'where are we?' or any variation of those two and Dean wouldn't have suddenly stopped dead in his tracks, but that question there... that makes him suspicious.
Something's wrong.
