Sam

By morning, she had calmed down.

She kept herself in check for Dean.

He knew that inside Ryce was falling apart.

She had been hit pretty hard in that town.

First learning that her friend Irene was dead then finding out Tom had met the same fate.

Being chased around by the man you loved (that just happened to be possessed by two ghosts. One that tried to kill her before and the other she had some sort of life with.) That tried to kill her more than once.

Yeah he would say that Ryce had had a ruff couple of days. The sound of Barbie girl brought a smile to her lips.

"Dean's gonna have to fix that." She said with a laugh.

He smiled at her before answering.

"Hello? Oh, hey Bobby, yeah we got him. Don't know he hasn't woken up yet." He covered up the mouthpiece.

"He wants to know if Dean remembers anything." He told her. She nodded and went back to playing with her knife at the little table.

"Yeah I'm still here. She's about as okay as she can be."

"Tell my Uncle that if he wants to know how I am he can call me." she sniped.

"Did you hear that? You did well she was pretty out of it earlier. Yeah okay, we'll head over to your house when we hear from Axel and Sarah. We cannot leave until Dean can be moved. We also need to know if the cops are looking for us. I have no idea what they told the cops other than what Ryce got them to say. Yeah pretty sure they will go along with the story Ryce trust them and that's enough. All right I'll tell her bye."he hangs up and looks over at Ryce. She looks so despondent.

"Ryce Bobby said that he loves you and to take care." her only answer was to nod.

He sighed and was ready to try again when there was a knock on the door. He pulled his gun out of his waistband notice that Ryce did the same. Looking through the peephole, he saw that it was Jake.

"Hey Sam thought that you and your friend might be hungry." He says holdin up a tray full of food.

"Thanks Jake." Ryce mumbled putting her gun away. He followed suit.

"I'll just put it on the table here." Jake says sitting the food laden tray down.

"You mind if I check your brother over."

"How did you know that he was my brother?" his tone suspicious.

"The car for one, plus your daddy was legendary. Plus I know of only one hunting duo that travel's with a pretty black haired girl with eyes like hers." Jake says nodding his head towards Ryce.

"Tell me you know what you're doing." Ryce asked putting herself between Dean and Jake.

Jake holds his hands out in a placating manner.

"I sure do, I was an army field medic for thirty years. Plus I've been stitching up hunters all my life." He said with a smile. Ryce relented and moved away from Dean but she never took her eyes of both men.

After a few minutes, Jake stood up and wiped his hands on the rag beside the bed. He noticed Dean had started to bleed again.

"Well he has some cracked ribs. Thankfully, none are broken or I would be worried about a lung being punctured. I am sorry to say that his wound has reopened. It will have to be re-stitched. Now I will leave you to your food and him. I know that if it was my brother I wouldn't want some stranger messing with him so I won't even ask." Jake says with a smile

"Thank you Jake I am glad to know that he is all right." Ryce said returning the smile.

"I will tell you this though, one sure fire way to keep that wound from reopening is to heat up a knife and to burn the flesh close." Jake stated.

"It hurts like hell though," Ryce, mused.

"Yeah it does,"

"But it's a good way to stave off infection." She said nodding her head.

Ryce

Sam looked a little loss following our conversation. It could not be helped it was definitely one-way off doing things.

"Have you done it before?" Sam asked her.

"Yeah I have, I was hunting a wendigo and got scratched up pretty bad. This one set of stitches kept popping open. It wasn't fun and it hurt like hell." she can still smell the burnt flesh.

"But it helped?" Sam stressed.

"Yeah it did no infection but one nasty scar. It may help but it can go wrong Sammy. I've seen it happen."

"She's right if there's an infection in the wound and we burn it close he could go septic." Jake said backing her up. She was thankful for that.

She watched as Sam blinked once then twice. He was a smart kid to smart but this was a lot of information to take in.

"Sam if we close the wound the infection can't seep out. It will stay in his body where we don't want it. We're keeping it clean but there still a chance." she says walking over to him and laying a hand on his shoulder."So far his blood is running clean and there's no sign of infection on the wound it's self. So were probably safe but I wouldn't risk it just yet. Tomorrow if you don't mind, I will check him over again. Then you two can make an informed decision." With that said Jake took his leave.

"One more thing if you need to go into town go to a one called Kane it's out of the way and smaller than Harmony. Also you could take my car I wouldn't drive that beauty of yours until you here from Sara." he says before walking off.

"I'm not sure how feel about someone don't know helping us out."

"I know what you mean Sam. But sometime's you have to have a little faith in people."

"Well every time I do I wind up being tied to a chair." He smile was deprecating.

"Sam why hasn't he woken up I'm a little worried?"

Sam

He didn't know why his brother wasn't waking up it could be that he was fighting off the effects of being possessed. He just wasn't sure.

"Let him sleep Ryce maybe he's just trying to recover."

She nodded her head but looked unsure.

"Fine, we need some supplies Sam were running low and we need some food. Thankfully we have a kitchen so I can cook."

"All right let's get Dean stitched up again and I'll head out to the store."
