Gunfire from Dean's room brought Sam running, but bullet holes in the walls and floorboards and the sight of his brother standing on the bed were clues there was no immediate cause for alarm.

"Where is it?"

"Under the desk. It's HUGE! I heard it creep across the floor! I heard it coming, Sam!"

"You don't think trying to shoot it was an over-reaction?"

"You know the rules: nothing in this room has more legs than me!"

Sam bent down, gently scooped the terrified spider into his hand and carried it outside. It was worth it to glimpse that rare "you're my hero!" look on Dean's face.
