Ghost Hunters Weekend

Chapter nine

Steve Unger, who had been sitting against the wall of the cave watching in disbelief as the Shamray managed to kill yet another person, finally got up and walked over to Sam.

"Who the hell are you?"

"What does that matter?"

"How did you know about this thing…this spirit?"

"My brother and I ran into one before."

"Where?"

"In North Carolina."

"Why didn't I ever hear of one?"

"We're in two different businesses, you try to lure spirits to you, and we try to destroy the bad ones. There's a big difference."

"So how do we get rid of it?"

"We need to draw the spirit out of the body it's possessing…we do that with a salt gun. Then we need to douse it with holy water and recite an exorcism prayer."

"Then why don't you do that?"

Sam wasn't sure whether he should tell Unger that his salt gun was gone plus his holy water, but he figured it was pretty obvious he couldn't destroy the spirit or he would have done it already.

"My water bottle was broken in the explosion, and Carol got my gun and hid it somewhere back in the cave."

"You're telling me there's no way to stop this thing."

Sam nodded.

"Yeah, that's what I'm telling you."

"We're all going to die?"

"Shhhh keep your voice down." Sam didn't want the others to hear what they were talking about, there was no reason to frighten them even more then they already were. "My brother and the others are trying their best to get through to us but….."

"But maybe not in time." Unger finished Sam's sentence.

"I'm sorry." It was all Sam could think of to say, why give the man false hope.

Dean's side

Dean worked nonstop moving rocks and trying desperately to reach his brother and the others. While others took turns resting he kept going, there was no way he was going to lose Sam again, not if he could help it. He knew that his number one priority was to get air flowing into the other side of the rock pile; he knew if the spirit didn't kill them the lack of oxygen would. One of the women in his group walked over to him.

"You need to forget trying to get through to them and concentrate on getting out of here."

"We will, but first I need to get an air hole through to the other side."

"They could all be dead by now. With all those people breathing what little air they have….."

"They're not dead." Dean interrupted her; there was no way he was giving up, not with Sam trapped on the other side.

"How do you know? I say we dig our way out of here and find help….they can dig the others out."

Dean looked around and saw that some of the others were agreeing with her.

"I can't believe you people! Some of you have family or friends on the other side and you just want to give up?" When no one said anything Dean returned to his digging. "Well I have a brother on the other side of these rocks and I'm getting him out."

Sam's side

Unger turned as if to walk away while Sam continued to look for his gun. He never saw Unger come up behind him with a rock. The blow to his head knocked him unconscious and he crumbled to the floor of the cave a pool of blood quickly pooling around his head. Unger knelt next to Sam and lifted the rock high above Sam's head ready to strike a fatal blow.
