The next day, Sam hesitated before he rang Kia, he liked her, but he wasn't entirely sure if she liked him and if he was honest with himself, Alyssa's warning scared him. He knew that if he got too close to Kia she might get hurt and he had no doubts that Alyssa would waste no time in hunting him down. Eventually, and with some goading from Dean, he dialled the number written on the scrap of paper.

"Hello?" Kia answered on the fourth ring.

"Hey, Kia, it's Sam."

"Oh, hey, do you want your hoody back?"

"Yeah, if that's O.K."

"Sure, how about you meet me at my apartment in half an hour?"

"Alright, I'll see you then." Sam smiled as he put his phone back on the table, he didn't know why, but something about this girl was captivating. He saw Dean looking at him and shook his head, exasperated at his brother.

"What did she say?"

"I'm meeting her in half an hour."

"And…?"

"And nothing, I'm gonna pick up my hoody."

"Sure, I believe you." Dean smirked as Sam rolled his eyes and picked up his phone before leaving the motel.

Kia was leaning against the wall outside the apartment block when Sam arrived. When she saw him approaching she smiled and pushed away from the wall, slowing as she approached him.

"Hey." She smiled up at him and Sam realised that she could be no taller than about five foot four inches. The full foot difference in their heights only served to impress him more when he remembered how she had silenced Dean the previous evening.

"Hey." Sam smiled back at her.

"Um, here's your hoody." She held it out and he took it, pulling it on over the T-shirt he wore. "I would invite you in, but Alyssa's going at the punch bag, it gets kinda noisy in there when she does that."

"Well, do you wanna go for coffee or something?"

"Sure."

Sam swirled his drink, watching as Kia brushed a lock of dark hair away from her face.

"So, your sister's pretty protective huh?"

"Alyssa? What gave you that impression?" Kia looked amused.

"My brother told me that she um…mentioned what she might do if I upset you." Sam smiled, feeling slightly foolish.

"Let me guess, she threatened to rip your nuts off?" One corner of Kia's mouth had lifted in a half smile.

"Yeah." Sam could not help but laugh; Kia rolled her eyes and nodded her head slowly, still smiling.

"Yep, that sounds like Alyssa's usual way of going about things. She decided a long time ago that I needed looking after."

"That sounds like Dean with me."

"Typical older sibling, although Alyssa seems to forget she's older by maybe ten minutes." She looked at her phone, checking the time. "Wow it's like six thirty, do you wanna go get something to eat?"

"Sure, where do you wanna go?"

"There's a pizza place down the street."

Outside the sun was just beginning to set casting long shadows across the ground, they had just turned up the street when Kia stopped. Sam turned, confused.

"Kia? What's wrong?" She was staring at a blue car parked outside a bar across the street her breathing shallow and fear in her dark eyes.

"He's found us, I…I'm sorry I have to go." She turned away but Sam caught her arm.

"Kia what's wrong? Who's found you?"

"Someone who's been hunting us for a year, I can't explain now. Sam you have to run, he will kill anyone and anything that gets in his way." She turned again and began to walk briskly away from the busy street.

"Let me help you." Kia turned towards him.

"I don't want you to get hurt."

"I don't want you to get hurt either, me and my brother can help you, please let us."

"Alright." She looked past him at the car again, fear on her face. "Run."

Sam turned to see a man walking out of the bar, he was short and stocky with close cropped hair; he looked over and saw them. When his eyes rested on Kia he smiled and moved quickly towards his car.

They ran.

Kia led Sam through the streets, heading away from any people they came across. They ran down a back street away from a crowded nightclub, they headed towards another street, passing an alley on the way. As they neared the end of the street the blue car skidded into view and turned up the street towards them. Sam grasped Kia's hand and they ran back towards the alley, ducking behind a large dumpster as gunfire blasted out from behind them.

Sam pulled out his phone and peered round the dumpster. The guy was sitting on the hood of his car, the gun in his hand gleaming in the lamplight.

"Who are you calling?" Kia's voice was panicked.

"Dean, he'll be able to help us." The phone rang. "Come on Dean pick up."

"Hey, Sammy, so much for…"

"Dean, shut up and listen, there's someone hunting Kia and Alyssa."

"Wait wait, how do you know that?"

"Because he has us trapped in an alley hiding behind a dumpster."

"Where?" All jest had left Dean's voice as he realised his little brother was in trouble.

"Um…" Sam looked at Kia who reached out and took the phone from him.

"Dean? Pick up Alyssa, tell her the warehouse behind the Blue Ice club, she'll know where."

"Alright, I'll be there soon, stay hidden."

"I intend to." Dean hung up and Kia pulled out her own phone. "Alyssa? He's found us; Dean is coming to pick you up…the warehouse behind Blue Ice." She put her phone away and froze as a voice rang out through the alley.

"You know, Kia, this could be a lot easier. You could come out here and make it easy for me and I'll let the boy you're with go. I must say, it was very selfish of you to bring him into this."

"Then why not let him go now?" Kia's reply echoed along the alley.

"Sorry, honey, he's helping you. For all I know he could be a freak like you and that makes him fair game."

The next sound they heard was the squeal of tyres and Dean's voice.

"I think you better drop that gun, dude." They heard the clatter as the gun hit the floor and the slam of car doors.

"Kia?" Alyssa's voice sounded from the direction of the street.

Sam and Kia stepped out from behind the dumpster, both glad to see their respective siblings. Alyssa ran to her sister, her knee length leather coat flying behind her. Dean stood pointing a gun at the man who had chased them, as Sam and Kia came into view he swung his fist, knocking the man to the floor. Satisfied that the man was unconscious he turned to his brother.

"You alright?"

"Yeah." Sam looked at his brother's raised eyebrows. "What?"

"Dude, you ran down an alley while being chased by a guy with a gun, talk about dumbass Hollywood victim." Kia heard him and took a pace towards him.

"It was the only thing we could do, Alex has no care for anyone or anything except catching who he's hunting; he would have pulled the gun out in the street and anyone could have been caught when he fired."

"Yeah well we gotta figure out what to do with him and I think you two need to explain what's going on." The words were barely out of his mouth when gunfire sounded and Alyssa's coat flapped, a large hole appearing in it level with her leg. They turned, Dean raising his gun once more. Alex had regained consciousness and ducked behind his car firing a shot at them as he did so. As they moved another shot sounded, the bullet flying past them. Dean returned fire, the bullet missing Alex by a hairs breadth.

"Move!" Dean's command was not questioned and they ran back down the alley, Dean keeping his gun trained on the car.

"Into the warehouse, come on." Alyssa led the way towards the wooden fronted building, kicking the door open. The others followed her inside, Dean entering last.

Once inside they hauled a large crate across the door and looked out through a small gap between the wooden boards of the door. Alex had not moved. The brothers pulled torches out of their pockets and looked around; there were old crates and some scaffolding nearby along with other rubbish scattered around.

"Alright, so what now?" Sam ran his hand along the rusty scaffolding as he spoke.

"There's another door on the other side of the building, we can get out there."

"Damn, I gotta leave my car."

"Dean, there is a man outside with a gun who will waste no time putting a bullet in your head. Now is not the time to be worrying about your car." Alyssa shook her head and Sam was sure he heard her mutter "boys" under her breath.

"No, but it may be time to worry about Alex's car." Kia was looking out into the alley.

"What is it?" Sam moved to look through the gap. "Oh crap." Before they could ask what was wrong, the roar of an engine reverberated through the warehouse and the glare of headlights shone through gaps in the planks.

They ran further into the warehouse as the car came crashing into the building.
