17th day.

London Chapter

MOL

Sam is awakened perforce when cold water makes contact with his warm skin. He instantly remembers where he is, and close his eyes, wanting to loose conscience again. Maybe a month ago(maybe. He only knows what years is it), when his brother was alive, he loved living the hunter life that, so eagerly wanted to run away from in the early 2000's, even if that meant having to fight monsters and sometimes, get shot.

He misses all those things that made him feel frustrated, and would do everything again, just to see his brother one more time.

- Samuel - says Antonia, interrupting his thoughts - i know that you're awake. If you're here it's because you deserve this. People like you... play with things that can't be touched. We've met people that were almost like you, and those mens and womans, now are doing the right thing.

- You've killed all of them, right? - Sam asks with a tired voice

- No. We would never do that. We are not like you. We don't have anything in common. The hunters are… apes. We are smarter. Those people that once were hunters are now working for us. They are the perfect humans, that will bring us a better future for the actual and next generations. Not only for the Mens of Letters, but also for the normal people out there all around the world. It will take us few months, or a year, but, you will be doing the same thing soon - she explains.

- I'll never do that. I'd rather kill myself before being your slave. You're not better than the hunters, not even slightly. Where were you when the angels and demons were trying to begin the apocalypse? You should have known that something wrong was going to happen when the seals were breaking, by all those books and prophecies that i've found in the bunker's books, and i suppose that you've read or know at least. Where were you when the Darkness was out there killing thousands of people? If you call ignoring all of that being better, let me tell you that you're wrong. At least we (he wouldn't say his brother's name, not in front of her), try everything to fix our mistakes. Tell me one thing that you've done and you're proud of, besides reading books, and hide underground like a rat - Sam responds, feeling rage inside him for the first time in days.

- I might have to cut your tongue, Samuel Winchester - says Antonia - You should learn some manners. Did your father and brother taught you to be like this? I have to say that i expected more of John. He was supposed to be a part of the Men of Letters, just like his father was. What a shame. He'd have been a great man. But instead, he chose to be a disgusting hunter.

- Don't talk about them. If you mention them one more time, you'll wish that you would have never been born. Wait until i can be free of these ropes and chains and you'll see what can i do - says the younger Winchester with his hands with shape of fists behind his back.

- You won't be able to do nothing, not to me Samuel. From where i'm standing, i know that you're the one that is weak here. You should quit that useless will to fight us, and admit that we are powerful - says Lady Antonia starting to loose her patience.

The conversation ends, and Sam is left alone again. He wants to cry, and also break everything. Inside his mind, he still hears the words that Dean would tell him everytime he felt like that. With a simple "Calm down Sammy. Take a deep breath and count to ten" he was alright. He tries it, and feels a Little bit better. His body relaxes without knowing it, close his eyes and sleeps in a way that he hasn't been able to do since he's been captured.

19th day.

Sam's mobile phone is given back to Antonia, without the password that locked all his contacts and information about him. She's excited and frustrated when the screen shows 41 lost calls from Dean W. He was supposed to be dead.

During tortures, they asked Sam where was his brother many times, and he'd answered everytime "You will never see Dean, because he is dead." She listens to the voice messages, and understands why her hostage believes that.

The first message says: "Answer me Sam, dammit! I am alive, please believe me. Stop doing whatever you're doing, and turn on your freaking cell phone"

The second one says: "Sammy, where are you? I've got something important to tell you man, call me. I saw blood on the floor, and Cass doesn't know where you are. If you're in a motel room getting drunk with your cell phone off i'll kick your ass, because i am still alive, Little brother. I am not that easy to kill yet. Call me, please"

She keeps listening the rest of the messages, and Dean is everytime more desperate to hear his brother's voice, she can tell.

Now's her chance to end all the humanity problems caused by Sam and Dean Winchester, this time forever. She's gonna call Dean, and will give him enough information to him to start searching about the other chapters of the Men of Letters.

With Dean as a hostage too (she'd make few of her mens stay alert for his arrival, to shoot him a calmative substance and tie him to a chair in a different room), the younger Winchester would be easier to break, and the same will happen to Dean. They are co-dependent, and that's a advantage that she will use without thinking it twice. Searching, she knew that even when they had been away from each other for few months many years ago, they'd always return to each other's arms.

She goes to the last missed call, and pressed the dial button, waiting for his next victim to answer.

Lebanon, Kansas.

MOL

Dean is Reading a book about angel's sigils, when his cell phone starts ringing. Tired, gets up ( He hasn't slept for two days, living exclusively by drinking coffee), and picks up the object without looking who's calling, clearly not expecting that person to be Sam, or whoever has him.

- Hello? - he says.

- Hello Dean Winchester - says Antonia - I am Antonia bevell. I belong to the Men of letters. I saw that you've been calling Samuel many times. I thought that you were dead. At least that's what your brother told us.

- You son of a bitch! Where's Sam? If you touch a single hair of his head… - Dean almost screams in anger, now fully awake.

- I think that it's too late to say that. We've touched a single hair of his, and also we've done so much more.

- When i find you, and i will find you, you'll see your end. I don't care who you are. I will make you suffer until you beg me to kill you, bitch - says Dean seeing everything red, no being aware that Castiel and Mary are behind him.

- Well, i guess that your brother will have to pay for your lack of manners now - she says smiling from ear to ear while she's heading to the basement.

Dean's pissed and worried, while he hears a metal door that opens, and the voices of two mens along with the woman.

He hears that one of the males that says something he can't fully understand, and the unforgettable voice of his brother screaming moments later.

His heart starts beating faster, and closes his eyes, while Lady Antonia Bevell walks away from the place where Sam is being tortured. Though, the screams continue, and that breaks Dean's heart. He's crying and he knows that, he doesn't care at the moment. He swore that Sam would not go through anything like that after he rescued him from the pit, and his memories of Lucifer almost killed him. Dean let his brother down, and hopes that Sam could forgive him. He will never forgive himself, and that's clear as water.

- Sammy - he says outloud without intention

- Samuel is having so much fun down there Dean. And soon it will be your turn too - she answers with calm

- You shouldn't have done this. Before you can know, i'll be there, and i will break every bone of your body.

- I'm counting with that. Let me tell you something Dean Winchester. Your brother gave up, becuase he thinks that you're dead. He practically offered to get shot, after he tried to attack me. I had to defend myself - says Antonia

- You came for him. We saved the damn world, and you still hurt him like that? Are you out of your mind? We should have let the world end, just to end the existence of people like you.

- Don't be mean, Winchester - answers the woman looking through the window of her office, watching how her son plays with his dad - I believe that you will be able to find your dear Sammy.

- Oh, believe me. I will - he says

- Ok, then. Good luck - she says, ending the call.

Dean turns around, and for his surprise, finds his mother and Castiel with worried faces.

Luckily (Not luckily, because thanks to Sam, that teached him, he knows how to do it), Dean has the whole conversation recorded, and plays it with the speaker for them to hear it, even if it hurts like hell. He sees Mary's face when the screams appear, watching how her eyes contain the tears that he'd never seen in his life (or he does not remember sliding down her face).

After a while, they search for the Men of Letters files, and find a secret compartment with information about the Men of Letters chapters all around the world.

All of them start to read the endless folders, with the feeling that soon sam will be saved.
