Hey! Sorry this took so long to post. I've been working a lot and reading fan fiction haha. So here is the second chapter and I hope you like it! Review if you get a chance. Reviews mean so much to writers and it motivates me to keep going! Love you all.
Then: Dean had originally thought the store was small but as he made his way to the front, it felt like the longest run in his life. He ran past a woman carrying her baby and two carts in the empty aisles. He rounded the corner to see the front of the store and his heart nearly stopped. Two gunmen were waving around guns and had taken hostages. One was a girl about eight and the other was his brother Sammy.
Now: Sam walked out of the restroom and bumped into a man in a dark hoodie. "Sorry." Sam muttered and went to move past him. He felt a crack of pain across his left eyebrow and fell onto his knees in a daze. An arm wrapped around his neck and he was hoisted up.
"What the-" Sam tried to get the man off of him but froze as he felt the barrel of a gun pressed against his temple.
"Don't try and fight." The man warned from behind. Sam struggled to get air into his lungs and clawed at the arm. He felt a trickle of blood slip down his cheek from his head wound. He strained to look around for Dean, hoping his brother would save him.
"Dea-" Sam tried to call out, but was cut off by another voice.
"NOBODY MOVE!" The second voice from behind called out and he shot off two warning shots. Sam tried to duck, and get away but was held tightly. The other man grabbed a little girl that had been standing too close and used her as a hostage. She was small and obviously couldn't put up much of a fight with the tall man holding onto her across her waist. She began crying as he drew her away from her parents. The little girls' father held back her mother as they sobbed for him to let her go.
"Walk with me." Sam's captor said as he dragged him over to the other gunman. "Go ahead Will." Will held onto the girl as he glanced around at everyone's shocked faces. Sam searched the faces for his brother but didn't see the familiar green eyes in the crowd. He saw scared, confused emotions across the crowd but he was looking for a calm and demanding presence. One he had grown up with and would come to his rescue. Few people in the crowd looked like they even wanted to help. One man was staring at the man named Will with a courageous look and glanced over at Sam with sympathetic eyes. Sam focused back on Will as he began to speak.
"Now I want everyone to listen! We don't want to hurt anyone. Just throw your wallets to us and we'll take them, get the money out of the registers, and leave." He ordered and waved his gun at the crowd in warning. People shrank back as the gun pointed their way.
"There are only two of you." The man called from the crowd. Sam's captor turned to the voice, swinging Sam along with him. He was trying not to choke as the man's arm kept a tight grip on him. Sam prayed they wouldn't start shooting.
"Ted!" Will called out. Sam saw a cashier walk forward and pull a gun from inside his jacket. "And now there are three." People gasped and moved away as Ted made his way through the crowd. Ted grabbed a bag off of the Reusable Bag shelf and walked over to a woman. She quickly threw in her watch, wallet and even her earrings. Ted then began to make his way through the crowd, gun and bag in hand. Sam scanned through the crowd and saw Dean. Hope rose in his chest as he saw Dean's calm demeanor. A mask of terror and anger flashed in his jade eyes. Sam saw Dean take a step forward, reaching for his gun, and Sam subtly shook his head no. He didn't want Dean trying to help and for some innocent person to get hurt. Dean looked torn as he stopped reaching for his gun.
"Hurry! We need to hurry this up!" Sam's captor yelled, roughly jerking Sam to the side as he grew impatient. Sam lost his sight on Dean and willed himself not to panic. Ted yelled at the crowd to hurry it up and people scrambled to throw in their items. Once he made it around the circle, the three men made their way to the front of the store.
"Ted open up the registers and get the money!" Will ordered. Sam guessed that Will was the leader of the group. His thought was proven correct when Ted followed his orders without question. Sam wondered if Ted had military training but figured not by the way he was waving his gun around.
"Let my daughter go! Please!" The girls' mother yelled. Will looked over to Sam's captor. Will looked to be in his mid-forties while Ted looked a couple years younger. Both men looked haggard with their thick beards and blood-shot eyes. Sam wrinkled his nose as he got a whiff of his captors' breathe. Sam gazed around the crowd where he had last seen Dean and found him closer than before, as if he had slowly made his way closer to Sam. Sam found that strangely comforting.
"We don't need the boy. We'll just take her Scooter. He looks like he could put up a fight." Will said and Sam felt Scooter loosen his grip around him. Sam saw a hopeful glint in Dean's eyes but he couldn't let them take the girl. He was afraid of what they would do to her. He looked back at Dean and pleaded with his eyes to be forgiven before speaking up.
"Wait! Take me! Let her go and take me!" Sam said yelling over the frantic cries of the mother. "I won't fight I swear!" Sam glanced over at Dean and saw the panic in his eyes. In the distance, sirens wailed in warning.
"Fine! Let's just get out of here!" Will said and pushed the girl towards her parents. Ted ran from the registers with Will following close behind. Scooter gripped him tight and Sam was jerked back and pulled out of the store.

Dean stood there, mouth agape as he saw the man named Ted walk out of the crowd. Ted still had on his uniform and pulled a gun out of his jacket. Watching him make his way around the circle, Dean slowly reached for his gun. He glanced up at Sammy and froze when his brother shook his head. His heart was torn between getting to Sammy or following Sam's order. He decided to wait and pulled down his leather jacket to cover his gun.
Ted hurried around the circle as the minutes slowly crept by. Dean counted about fifteen people in the store excluding the three gunmen. He wondered why they picked such a small store to rob, the people here obviously didn't have a lot of money. This was the cheap store, hence the cash only sign. Ted came up to Dean and Dean threw in the fifty dollars and his wallet.
"The ring to." Ted said. Dean looked up at him started.
"Ring?" Dean asked, feeling sweat trickle down his back.
"Yeah, put it in." Ted said annoyed. Dean slid the silver ring off the ring finger of his right hand and carefully placed it into the bag. Ted didn't pay him much attention and walked to the last few people. If he had he would have noticed the murderous look upon Dean's face. Dean heard the mother shouting, which drew his attention back to his brother.
"Wait! Take me! Let her go and take me!" Dean heard Sam yell and stepped forward, but froze as Ted glanced his way. "I won't fight I swear!" Sirens sounded in the distance and looks of relief dawned upon the faces in the crowd.
"Dammit Sam." Dean muttered under his breath and sweat started trickling down his neck. He prayed they would take the girl. Just not his Sammy. He felt guilty but he couldn't let Sam leave with them. He watched as they threw the girl to her mother and began to drag away his brother. "Sammy!" He called desperately. He met Sam's eyes one last time before his brother was gone. He threw caution to the wind and rushed forward, shoving innocent people out of the way screaming for his brother. "Sam!"
He ran out of the doors and saw a black minivan skidding out of the parking lot. A smile spread across his lips as he knew a minivan could never outrun his Impala. Dean ran for his car and turned on the ignition. Her engine roared to life as he thrust her into reverse and then drive as he raced after the car. Turning onto the street, he saw the van turn at a red light in the distance and hoped he wouldn't lose it. Pressing against the metal, the Impala lurched forward in pursuit.
****SPN****
So… How'd you like it? : ) it was really fun to write and I would love to hear what you think! Will Dean be able to keep up with the minivan? Will he ever get his ring back? Review if you get a chance! Thanks!
