CALM IN THE FACE OF DANGER
By: Vanessa Sgroi
Tied tightly to a chair, Dean had no luck getting free despite his continuous struggles. His assailant backhanded him again across the face. This time leaving a star-shaped impression on Dean's cheek from his ring. The blow cut the inside of his lip and Dean spit blood on the floor before sneering up at the man.
"You're gonna be so, so sorry when my brother shows up." Dean paused, shaking his head. "Man, when he gets mad—I mean, really mad—it's a sight to behold. He even scares me!"
His attacker chortled. "Boy, you honestly think your brother's gonna ride to your rescue? Why, we took care o' him before we even took you."
Dean's stomach clenched in fear. Then Sam's voice suddenly boomed throughout the enclosure.
"You call that taking care of me? Go ahead and move; it'll give me a second reason to kill you."
Sam advanced into the enclosure, gun steadily trained on Dean's kidnapper. Then he threw a punch and knocked the man out in one go.
He quickly untied Dean and helped him to his feet, steadying him when his knees wobbled.
"Sorry—just seeing a few stars, Sammy."
"You know what—me too."
