Riders of the Brotherhood
Chapter Eleven
As evening came Sam sat at the kitchen table on his laptop pretending at surfing the net. Bobby entered the kitchen pulling on his jacket as he searched for his truck keys. "Are you going to be ok Sam?"
"Go, don't worry about me" Sam replied
Bobby stood in the doorway, there was a uncomfortably silence between them, Bobby cleared his throat "It's for the best"
"I know, just go"
Bobby nodded and left the house closing the door behind him. As soon as Sam heard the truck start up and leave the junkyard he jumped up grabbing his jacket off the chair back, he picked up Bobby's car keys and he was out the door within seconds.
Bobby arrived at the Old Inn 30 minutes later, climbing out he looked around to see that there were plenty of trucks and cars parked outside the Inn as he made his way to the front entrance, once inside the first person he recognized was Helen sitting at the bar.
"Hi Helen, didn't know you were coming? Bobby asked
"Hi Bobby, yeah the hunters need support, this could be the start of the war we've all been hearing about." Helen replied
"I hope not" Bobby commented
The Inn was full of hunters of all ages. Bobby found himself a seat to sit on, he knew one or two hunters but there were many he didn't know. Sam had entered through the side door and now stood in the shadows as a man in his early fifties stood up, his hair was greying along with his beard; which covered most of his weather beaten face.
"Can I have your attention please" He spoke with authority and the room suddenly went quiet.
"For those of you who do not know me, my name is George Pearson. We all know why we're here, the murders of nine hunters and their families, they were all loyal to the Brotherhood" whispers could be heard all around the room.
"We've called this meeting tonight because we need to protect and support each other. If this is the start of the war we have all heard about then we must stick together."
There were one or two calls of "Hear! Hear!"
"We need some volunteers to protect a couple of families who have been loyal to the Brotherhood who have asked for our help, if you want to help please see me later?"
Two hunters stood up, Burt and Harry they both wore similar clothing jeans and combat jackets. Burt shouted out "what about finding out who's been giving information to demons. Somebody had to have told them where the hunters lived?" Harry joined in "We'll find out who the squealer is and then we'll hunt him down and kill him."
George Pearson replied "OK let's calm down, we don't even know if it is a demon, we need to protect ourselves and each other first, then we can search for the person or demon responsible for this."
"What about the one that's doing the killings, they were murdered by a .45; demons don't use guns and the bullets were all shot from the same gun. He's human, he could even be a hunter for all we know?" another man shouted out.
As the crowd started to get noisy George Pearson spoke calmly again "We don't know if the squealer as you call him and the gunman are the same one, all we do know is that we need to stick together, watch each other's backs"
"What about the Brotherhood aren't they going to help; it's them who they want to kill." Another man stood and yelled.
"We can't get in touch with them" Matthew Pearson replied
"How convenient, I bet they've gone back into hiding like cowards they really are" Burt shouted out
Sam clenched his fists in anger; he stopped himself from shouting out that is brother was no coward. Dean would never hideaway and do nothing while innocent people were been murdered.
The meeting carried on for another 30 minutes, it was going nowhere. There were just arguing about who was to blame for the murders.
With the meeting over Bobby stood up to leave, he waved goodbye to Helen and turned to go out the door when a man bumped into him. The man apologised and went on his way. Bobby headed around the side of the Inn and ducked into the shadows. When a tall lanky figure appeared he came out of the shadows. "Sam"
Sam headed out of the side door turning when he heard his name and saw Bobby. "I…I had to come" he stuttered out
"Kid, don't you ever do as you're told" Bobby replied exasperated with him
Sam looked down at the floor "No"
"Come on let's go home" Bobby took off towards his truck as he reached it he slid his hand into his pocket and pulled out along with his keys a note. It said
MEET US TOMORROW, SAME PLACE, SAME TIME
Signed the Brotherhood – honour and dignity
"Sam" Bobby called him over before Sam reached the car he handed Sam the note.

At the wooden cabin the drugged hunter Jeremiah Hawkins sat blindfolded and bounded to a chair. Jeremiah was semi retired from hunting, he did mostly surveillance work now. He had a big family and lots of grandchildren; he was well liked by all the hunters.
Dr Foster stood in front of him with Frank and Dean at his side.
"Wake him up" Dr Foster ordered Frank.
Frank slapped his face several times hard, Jeremiah awoke and was confused.
"What the hell going on?" he yelled out
"You will answer my questions," Dr Foster informed him,
"Where am I? Who are you?" Jeremiah couldn't hide the fear in his voice
Frank punched him "We ask the questions not you, understand?" Jeremiah nodded
"How do you contact the Brotherhood?" Dr Foster demanded
"You're the ones murdering the hunters?" Jeremiah gasped
"I haven't murdered anyone" Dr Foster replied, he continued "They were nothing, I wanted to send a message to all those loyal to the Brotherhood."
"You Bastard!" he spat out angrily
"If you value your life and your family's life's you will tell me what I want to know or you will end up like the other hunters, dead?"
"Alright, alright don't hurt my family please" Jeremiah begged
"Then tell us what we want to know?" Frank ordered
"We use a Post Office mail box, number TPR159546; I swear that all I know"
Dr Foster wrote the number down on a pad, picked up a gun; turning to Dean "shoot him!"
Dean didn't response, he was trying to fight it, the pain in his head started to build, he didn't want to kill any more but the pain was growing intense
"I said shoot him" Dr Foster yelled as he repeated himself. This time Dean took the gun and pointed it at Jeremiah.
"Please no, I told you what you wanted to know" Jeremiah pleaded, the gun in Dean's hand wavered, Dean suddenly turned the gun on Dr Foster, blinding pain shoot through Dean's skull, his eyes rolled back into his head as he passed out.
"Frank finish the job and get rid of the body" Dr Foster ordered, he looked down at Dean's half semi conscious form lying on the floor, "O Dean, I thought you had more brains than that, no normal gun can kill me and besides I built a fail safe into my mind control programme, you can't harm me, Frank or yourself."
Doctor Foster turned to Frank "Whip him, twenty lashers and make sure he understands, who's in control here. When it's over get Nurse Mia to attend to him.
After Frank shot Jeremiah in the head Dr Foster left the room, leaving Frank wondering which to do first; whip Dean or dispose of the body, he decided it would be more fun to whip Dean first.

Sam and Bobby arrived at the Old Church on Montgomery Road just before 9pm. They walked into the church, the door slamming and locking echo through the church. They stood looking down the aisle waiting for the riders to appear.
Three riders appear from the back of the church and walked down the aisle; Ethan as usual removed his helmet and greeted Bobby
"Hi Bobby and this must be Sam? Nice to meet you" Ethan held out his hand
Sam ignored Ethan hand angrily shouted "What have you done to Dean, where's my brother?"
"We have done nothing but help him and unfortunately your brother his no longer with us" Ethan replied
"What's that suppose to mean?" Sam was now fuming. "I want straight answers from you?"
"We rescued Dean from a Demon called Dr Foster, of the New Age Science Institute, he was the one who kidnapped and faked Dean's death. He brainwashed him, he has erased Dean's memory.
Sam knees felt weak at the realisation that Dean didn't remember him and he had to sit down on one of the pews. "He can't remember me. That's why he didn't get in touch?" he said more to himself than Ethan.
"With help from us, Dean as recovered a little memory but not much, we told him as much as we knew about his life and about you"
"How long ago did you rescue Dean? Sam asked
"Nearly two months" Ethan replied
Sam jumped up quickly from the pew, both Bobby and Ethan were taken aback by Sam sudden movement, his fists clenched at his sides he paced the church he wanted to hit Ethan, but instead he kicked the pew in front of him so hard it fell forward onto the pew in front which started a domino effect the noise they made echoing through the church.
"Nearly two months, you but me through hell, for two months you had me thinking my brother was dead, you son of a bitch!"
"Sam, I sorry, I thought it was for the best, you were in danger and if you knew Dean was alive they would have done anything to get to him, they would have hurt you"
Getting right up into Ethan's face "It wasn't your decision to make" Sam yelled
"Look let's calm down, what's done is done, this won't help Dean" Bobby said trying to calm the situation down
"You said he's was no longer with you, where is he? Sam asked slightly calmer.
We thought we'd rescued him in time before Doctor Foster reprogrammed him, but we were wrong. At the exchange after you and Bobby left this Doctor Foster said trigger words to start the mind control and before we knew Dean had killed two of our riders, the doctor took Dean with him and I think he made him kill the hunters and their families,"
"No, Dean's no killer"
"Dean has no choice, he as to obey the Doctor" Ethan explained
"O god, if the hunters find out they'll hunt him and kill him" Bobby said, Sam was so shocked he was speechless, his brother who had saved so many lives in the past was now been made to kill.
Ethan continued "Were taking a risk meeting here; anyone loyal to us or found to be helping us will be killed, but we need your help some of the hunters need our protection, but unfortunately at the moment were in no position to help anyone, can you help us?"
"What about Dean, we got to get him back?" Sam questioned
"I will do everything in my power to get him back and we will keep in touch with you" Ethan reassured them.
"OK, we'll help" Bobby said, Sam gave Bobby a look that told him he wasn't happy.
"We'll be in touch, this is the number of Post Office mail box, check it regularly?" Ethan replaced his helmet and walked back up the aisle with the other two riders.
Behind them they heard the church door unlock and open.
Bobby and Sam walked out into the warm night air.
"I want to find Dean not help them. Why did you tell him we'd help?" Sam yelled angrily
"So we can be kept in the loop, it's our only chance of finding Dean" Bobby replied
