A man walked into the building. He headed towards the elevators. "Where are you going?" Sam asked him.

"I'm looking for my girlfriend, Jenny Silvers. We were supposed to meet last night, but she never showed and she isn't answering her phone. I'm worried about her."

"She's in the basement," Sam said.

"Why?" the man asked.

"Because," Sam said. "Sit down a minute. I need to think."

The man started to sit down where he was. "No, not over there. At my feet," Sam said.

The man started to stand back up, but again Sam stopped him. "Crawl over here like a dog," he said.

The man crawled over and Sam laughed. The power was intoxicating. A demon came up and brought him some blood. They were all rotating bleeding themselves, so that Sam could stay nourished. Sam drank greedily.

"Now, we were trying to decide what to do while the seals were being broken," he said thoughtfully.

SSSSSSSSSSSSS

"Demon omens are all centering around this building," Bobby said and pointed to it on a map.

"Well, let's go there, then," Dean said, grabbing holy water.

"You know that won't work on Sam, right?" Bobby reminded him.

"No, but this will," Dean said and he pulled out his gun. He knew now that he had failed both Sam and his father by not killing him. Sam had actually begged him to. This was all his fault and he would never forgive himself for it. He only hoped that when Sam died that his soul would revert back to his pre-demonic state.

They entered the building to find several demons in the lobby. They launched an attack, but Dean was quick with the holy water and Bobby recited an exorcism faster than anyone in the history of the world. "Four down, 296 to go," Dean lamented.

"Let's go straight for the leader. Sam's probably on the top floor," Bobby said.

They got in the elevator and headed up to the Penthouse. When the elevator opened, they saw Sam and a blonde girl snuggling on the couch. "Dean, Bobby, good to see you," Sam said, standing up.

Dean pulled out his gun and brought it up to shoot. "Put that down," Sam said, and Dean immediately dropped it to the floor.

"You've got the Andy thing going on," Dean observed.

"Andy's dead. Now it's my thing," Sam corrected. "Bobby go down one flight and tell the guards I'd like them to accompany you back here.

"Yes, Sir," Bobby said. That rankled. He just called a kid half his age Sir. Bobby couldn't help himself. He went to carry out the instructions.

"What are you going to do with us?" Dean asked. He wanted to pick his gun up and shoot, but he didn't see the point. He could never be faster than Sam.

"That's right, Dean. I'm faster and stronger and I've always been smarter. You're nothing, now. But to answer your question, I haven't decided yet. I think I'd like to keep you as a pet."

"That's a good idea," Ruby said. "He can fetch your slippers."

Sam turned dark eyes on her. "I can be mean to my brother. You can't. Got it?" His tone was dangerously low.

"Yes, I'm sorry," Ruby said and cast her eyes down.

"Good girl," Sam said, as Bobby entered with the two demons.

"You wanted us, Master?"

"You know what I was just thinking? You're my army. You should have uniforms. Better yet, you guys should all leave your bodies and go possess a bunch of marines. There must be a base somewhere. Spread the word, but be back before dark. And make sure you are all in uniform."

"Yes, Master," the demons said and stepped out.

Dean and Bobby traded anxious glances. Sam whispered something to Ruby and she laughed and left.

"Where's she going?" Dean asked.

"Getting a little present for you two," Sam said ominously. "Sit down and shut up until she gets back."

They sat and were silent. Dean realized that the building was demon-free. If they could just get free of Sam's control, now would be the time to strike.

"But you can't get free of my control, can you?" Sam taunted.

"This mind reading thing really sucks, Sam," Dean thought.

"Not for me," Sam answered back. Sam went into the other room leaving Dean and Bobby alone. They found that even with Sam gone, they still could not disobey his orders. He was definitely very strong.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Lillith decided the first seal she would break would be killing two reapers. Easy. There were tons of reapers in New York and the time of month was right. She sent half the demons to go kidnap one reaper and took another crew to get another. They had the reapers on the floor of a church in no time flat. "It's time to perform the sacrifice."

"I don't think so," she heard from behind her. She spun around and saw a vessel occupied by an angel.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"My name is Castiel and I am not going to let you break this seal."

"You can't stop me," she said and nodded to two of the demons to do their thing. Before Castiel had time to react, the reapers were dead and the second seal had been broken. The demons disappeared.

Cas tried to decide whether he should go after them or Sam Winchester. He decided the demons could wait. Sam Winchester must be stopped.
