Chapter 9

They found the compound five miles north of town. The place was a beehive of activity as the people living there went about their daily routines, unaware that they were being watched. Katie spotted a strange building toward the back of the property that was made out of red brick.

"Sam's in that building." She whispered as she pointed to it.

"We may have to wait until dark." Bobby said. "There's too many people about now."
"NO!" Dean and Katie said together. "We go now."
"What good are we gonna be to your brother if we get ourselves killed trying to get in there?" one of the other hunters asked.

"Racheal and I will go." Katie replied.

"We can get into anything." Racheal added.

"No way." Dean and Bobby said.

"You're not going in there by yourselves." Heaven said.

"Look," Katie said. "It's the easiest way. We can go in and get Sam. You guys just need to create a diversion when we have him so we can get him out."

"Katie, no." Dean said sternly.

"Dean, it's the easiest way." Katie replied.

"There's no way I'm letting you go in there." Dean said.

"I'll be fine." Katie said. "Sam won't be if we stand here arguing about this."

"Sam's my responsibility." Dean said.

"And you're mine" Katie said. "Please trust me? Racheal and I can get him out."

The two older Winchesters stared at each other for a few minutes before Dean nodded. Katie reached out and squeezed his hand before heading back to Racheal's car. The truth was she was afraid of how Dean would react if her older brother saw Sam in that place.

"Aren't you going the wrong way?" Bobby asked.

"Just getting something out of the car." Katie replied.

Racheal tossed her the keys and she grabbed three silencers out of the trunk. She tossed one to Racheal and then attached the other two to her 9mills.

"Now why didn't we think of that?" another of the hunters asked.

"Hey Dean." Racheal said. "Think you can get close enough to the gates without being seen to set a few explosives?"

"Oooh." Katie said as her eyes lit up. "I knew there was a reason I liked you."

"Heaven, Dad, and I were already on our way here to do a little damage. We were only an hour out when I called your phone." Racheal said.
"You called me?" Katie asked.

"You were occupied." Dean answered. "So I answered your phone."
Katie shrugged, then she and Racheal headed along the fence to the back of the property. Just as Katie landed on the other side of the wall, a man came by. Katie pulled her gun, but the guy dropped to the ground with blood oozing out one side of his head before she could get a shot off. She looked up and gave Racheal a wave just before her friend hit the ground next to her.

"Thanks." Katie whispered.

"You're welcome." Racheal whispered back.

They found an entrance to the building a few feet away and proceeded to go inside. Once there, they found a set of stairs leading down so they followed them. When they got to the bottom of the stairs, they found two more guards and a locked door. The girls took the guards out easily and then Racheal picked the lock.

Inside the second room, they found two people. Katie recognized them immediately as the guy and girl that she and Dean had almost hooked up with at the bar. The girl was holding the silver boot knife Laura had made. Racheal took the guy out in one shot and Katie put a round into the girl's shoulder. Katie then walked over to the crying, writhing girl and grabbed her up by her hair.

"You tell me where my brother is or I'll slice your throat." Katie hissed as she picked up the discarded knife.

"He's, he's one level below us." the girl sobbed.

Katie nodded and then squeezed off one more round from her gun. The girl lay motionless on the ground.

"I think that was their psychic." Racheal said quietly.

"Yeah, well now she's worm food." Katie said as she headed for the next set of stairs.

The room at the bottom of the stairs was completely dark. They had just stepped off the last stair when someone screamed.

"You killed my daughter!"

Katie and Racheal stepped to the sides of the staircase and ducked down just as a shot flew past Katie's head.

"You can't hide." the woman sneered. "You can't see me, but I can see you."

Another shot rang out and Racheal ducked down just in time to keep her brains from being splattered on the wall behind her. The two hunters quickly found a spot to hide behind the stairs so they could regroup.

"Night vision?" Racheal asked.

"Yep." Katie replied.

"Flashlight?"

"In my pocket." Katie replied. "You take the shot."

The girls crossed paths and came out from behind the stairs in the opposite directions they had gone in. Katie pulled the flashlight out of her pocket and quickly started to scan the room with it. Another shot rang out, but this one caught Racheal in her shoulder. Katie saw the muzzle flash and focused her flashlight beam in that spot. Katie managed to hit the exact right spot just as the woman fired again. The woman shooting at them cried out as the beam from the flashlight blinded her. A split second later she was dead on the floor after Racheal took a shot of her own.

"Looks like there was more than one psychic here." Racheal said.

"Yeah, we could be in some serious trouble." Katie said back.

Just as Katie was about to turn and head for the next room, something caught her attention in the flashlight beam behind where the dead woman had been standing. It was the cart she had seen in one of her dreams of Sam. There were bloody scalpels on it as well as two more pairs of night vision goggles and the bag of rock salt. Above the cart was a panel with several switches on it. Katie walked over to the panel and read the labels next to the switches.

"Hey Rache?" Katie said.

"Yeah." Racheal replied.

"What do you say we turn the tables on our new friends here?" Katie asked. "There should be one more person in here somewhere and I bet the guy is in with Sam now. According to this panel the main lights are on in there instead of the green one."
"I'm following." Racheal said. "We shut off all the lights and go in with their goggles. It would definitely be a lot easier to take the guy out."

"This says that the chains around Sam's wrists have been pulled up, so he's standing. I'm gonna drop him after we kill the lights. Hopefully that will keep him out of the crossfire." Katie added.

The girls quickly put their plan into motion. They put on the goggles, made sure the door to Sam's prison was unlocked, and then killed the lights. Several gunshots rang out as they opened the door and ran in. Katie tucked and rolled, then got her bearings on the guy and put a bullet into his leg. She wanted him to suffer a little bit for what he'd done to Sam. Four more shots from her gun later, the man was dead.

Katie was kneeling by her little brother's side a few seconds later.

"Racheal." Katie called. "Go turn the lights back on."
"You got it." Racheal replied.

As soon as the lights came on, Katie went into action. Sam was unconscious as far as she could tell, which to her was a good thing. She didn't want him awake while she took out the stitches in his lips. As soon as she had that done, she picked the lock on the chain around his wrists and then tried to wake him.

"Sam, come on." Katie said as she shook Sam. "Nap time's over little brother, we gotta move now."

There was no response from Sam at all and Katie started to get a little freaked. There was no way she and Racheal could get him out if he didn't wake up.

"Sam!" Katie nearly yelled as she shook him harder. "Wake up!"

This time Sam did stir a little bit, but not enough.

"God damnit Sammy. WAKE UP!" Katie yelled as she slapped Sam across the face.

This time Sam opened his eyes. He stared at her for a second before he spoke.

"For a dream." Sam said hoarsely. "That felt pretty real."
"You're not dreaming." Katie said trying to hide the smile on her face. "I'm really here this time. Racheal too. Do you think you can stand?"

"Where's Dean?" Sam asked.

"Outside with Bobby and a few other hunters." Katie replied. "He's probably about to lose his mind right now cause he hasn't seen us come out with you yet."
"Yeah, I bet my dad had to tie him up or something after he got the charges placed." Racheal said as she came over to help Katie get Sam on his feet.

"Then let's go." Sam said as he tried to stand by himself and nearly fell.

"Easy, Sammy." Katie said as she and Racheal reached out to stop Sam's fall. "Lean on us ok. We got a lot of stairs to go up."
"You know." Sam said more to himself. "I think that's the first time I've ever heard you call me Sammy."

"We can talk about that later." Katie said with a small smile. "Let's get out of here."
