Summary: What would you do if you woke up in a dark room?

I want to thank my Beta who helps me a lot.

"Someone is coming." These words were getting my attention immediately. I looked at Kelly and wanted to figure out how she knew that. When suddenly the door was opened. Bright white light flooded into the room blinding my eyes.

Now

The only thing I could hear was something being put down on the floor. My eyes tried to adjust to the sudden bright light but the time was to short because as soon as I had covered my eyes with my hands the door already closed again.

We stayed silent for some time. Then I felt along the floor until I got to the thing that was left by what I assumed was our kidnapper. It was a plate with some food and a bottle of water. I told Kelly and handed her the bottle. Of course I didn't miss the fact that she had some difficulties finding the offered object immediately but I thought it was because of the darkness.

I didn't know what to do. I felt helpless and the only thing I could do was hope that Dean would find me soon.

After a while I got restless. "We have to get out of here", I thought out loud. "Sure open the door and let's go," Kelly said sarcastically. I sighed. "That isn't funny! I know that there is just a massive door but we have to find a way to get out. If we just had some things to work with", I reasoned. Kelly closed her eyes and kept silent for a few minutes before she slowly felt along the walls. It was then that I realised a few things.

First of all she was way to comfortable feeling along to find her way as if she was used to it for years. Could she be blind? Kelly seemed to look directly at me when we talked but maybe I was just to focused on thinking about the reason why I was locked into that room to realise that she couldn't see. That would explain why she heard the person coming when I didn't.

Secondly she was definitely considering my suggestion.

"What did that freak give us besides the bottle? Is there any thing else we could use?", she asked as soon as she felt along the door.

I handed her the plastic plate which was the only object left in the room. "Do you have anything with you?" Kelly wanted to know. But like her I hadn't anything besides the clothes I was wearing. Silently she inspected the plate and door with her hands.

A while later she sat down leaning against the door. "It would be easy if the door hinges were inside but of course they are on the other side of this stupid door. Still I have an idea which may sound a bit crazy." Kelly told me. Crazy or not at least she had something in mind. I urged her to tell me her plan wondering how anybody could come up with a plan to escape having just a plate and water bottle.

Instead of telling me she flattened the bottle and stuck it under one of the corners. Then she told me to ram the door with my entire weight. Without asking her for the reason I did as she told me.

A few tries later she had the bottle where she wanted it to be namely directly under one of the door hinges. "Well done. That was the first part. Now you have to help me. We have to try to use the plate to unhinge the door", she explained.

Now I understood why she didn't want to tell me her plan. How the hell could we unhinge a door with a stupid plate? Not having any better options we worked together and tried the impossible.

Still it didn't work. "At least we tried", I said giving up.

"You want to give up? Forget it Sam because we are getting out of here. Ram the door again", she ordered. I knew it would be useless but I didn't want to take away her hope so I used my already hurting shoulder to do as she wanted.

To my surprise she replaced the bottle with the plate and after another shove at the door she placed the bottle under the other hinge.

Together we used our improvised levers and pushed with all our might.

Suddenly with a loud thud the door fell and we faced a dark tunnel. With a big smile on her face Kelly turned to me and said "See even the craziest ideas sometimes work." I had to laugh at that.

Cautiously we walked along the corridor. I couldn't tell how long this tunnel was because it was as dark as our cell which made it difficult not to fall. I was impressed how well Kelly seemed to get along. That of course confirmed my theory of her being blind. I knew I should ask but I didn't know how so I silently followed her lead.

It was getting colder the further we went. What first looked like a long tunnel now seemed more like a labyrinth with every turn we made. I normally would claim that I have a good orientation but due to the darkness and the complicated tunnel system caused us to get lost.

Exhausted Kelly sank to the floor. "I need a break", she said. After hours of wandering around I too was in dire need of some rest. So I suggested taking a break for a couple of minutes.

Keeping up hope was hard. I wished Dean would find us but the chance was alarming small. The area Kelly and I walked through was too big to be a cellar.

It seemed to big to hide such immense space under a lone house. I couldn't think of any kind of location where somebody would be able to hide a labyrinth.

Kelly was right we were definitely under ground. The question was how the hell could somebody dig an area like this without being noticed because there was no way this could be legal.

Never loose hope and always keep going was the motto I had lived all my life. I was often in dangerous situations but I had never lost hope.

This was the first time I wished that I would have gone back to Stanford after Jess died. Always keep your head in the game, I heard dad yell at me. Of course he wasn't here, he never had been there when we needed him but he was right.

Wherever I was now, I had to think and keep my surroundings in check if not for myself but for Kelly.

For her sake I wished she was never kidnapped but honestly I was relieved she was here. At least I could watch out for her that way. I knew she was stronger than she looked but she seemed so fragile now.

There was no noise. The only sound I could hear was our breathing. Kelly was still a mystery. She knew how to keep secrets without being suspicious and I didn't think she believed the story I told her. She was clever and I couldn't get any information from her without asking directly.

I felt her shivering. It was getting colder the longer we sat. I would have offered her my jacket but I was just wearing my boxer shorts and T-shirt I usually wore to sleep. Her silk nightgown wasn't much protection of the cold either. So I did the only thing I could to keep us warm. I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her closer to share my body heat.

At first she pulled away but I assured her that I wouldn't take advantage of the situation. She believed me because I felt her relax.

"Do you think we will get out of here?" she asked.

The last thing I wanted to do was upsetting her. So I told her, that we would find a way.

"Thank you for trying to make me feel better with such a pleasant lie" she countered.

How did she know I was lying? I was good at it. After all I grew up to pretend to be somebody else every town we passed on our way to get rid of evil creatures.

Could I be honest with her? Would she be able to handle the truth of the things that go bump in the night?

I had no idea how she would take it. We didn't even know each other but still I felt the urge to tell her about everything that I never could tell Jess which was strange.

I decided to give away a little bit of what I really did but to leave out the part of "what's really out there" and hopefully she would start to open up too.

"Kelly I know that you don't trust me. Don't get me wrong that is ok. We don't know each other and honestly this is not the place to meet friends but if we want to get out of here we have to be honest and work together. I mean we already managed to get out of the room so we aren't that bad, right?"

It took her some time to consider her answer but she finally agreed. I could tell that it was hard for her to do so. It wasn't easy for me either.

"Well, Sam. So far so good. You want me to trust you? Then give me some answers" Kelly said.

This was going to be difficult. "If you promise to give me some honest answers as well, I will" I tried to be diplomatic because I couldn't risk her knowing too much without getting information myself.

"Fine I agree. So you are not a private Investigator at least I don't think you are. My question is what do you do? I mean it probably is the reason you are here"

Great! Just fucking fabulous. Of course that would be her first question. It was clear that I couldn't tell her. It was too soon for that.

"It is complicated. Since I promised to be honest I will be but I can't tell you what I do exactly. I am something like a private Investigator. My brother and I travel a lot. We take special cases and solve them. We don't always act hundred percent legal and so we sometimes have some troubles with the feds. That means my brother will not call the cops to help him find me, he will try on his own. I can't tell you about our cases. That is too soon. You know that I can't trust you without knowing you."

Now I just hoped that she didn't misunderstand. "You sure are cautious but I understand. I am surprised you told me that much. It is a good sign meaning you are on my side. You really do want us to work together", she said. I could almost see her smile trough her words and I wised for some light to see her. People always gave away more with gestures.

"I guess you want to know about myself so what question do you want me to answer first?" Kelly interrupted my thoughts. "You are blind, am I right?" I stated.

"Yes, I am but that isn't your question" she replied.

"Why did you try to hide it from me?" I asked.

Without hesitation she answered "I am not sure I guess I didn't want to give away my weakness. Don't misunderstand. My inability to see gives me some perks you don't have", she explained.

That was exactly what I assumed. Her other senses were sharper. It would come in handy escaping this hell. Now it was her turn to ask another question. We continued to play the game of twenty questions until we fell asleep.

I got some useful information about her. The business she worked for really was checking security systems but she didn't give details about her part in the team. Her work was dangerous or so she said. Her job description sounded more like breaking into hoses than checking systems. I knew she didn't go into detail because she wanted to hide something.

Since I didn't tell her the entire truth myself it wasn't bothering me.

It seemed to be timeless. The darkness kept us from knowing if it was day or night. When I woke up Kelly was still sleeping. We must have moved in our sleep because my companion was now lying across my chest and our legs were entangled. I wasn't sure if the reason for not moving was not to wake her or because having her near felt incredibly right.

One thing I knew was that we had to keep moving without running in circles. If we had some useful things it would be easier but that wasn't the case so I had to think of something else. Maybe we could carve symbols into the earthy walls.

After all Kelly was using the walls for guidance and I was pretty sure she would feel them and prevent us from getting lost again.
