Chapter 11
Sam still wasn't sure how exactly he was standing, let alone nearly running, but he didn't really care. He was finally on his way out of his prison. They had just reached the bottom of the first set of stairs when Katie stopped suddenly. Sam felt her grip on his arm tighten and he and Racheal nearly crashed backwards to the floor.
"What's wrong?" Sam asked.
"We got company." Katie replied as she began to move again, but at a slower pace.
"Where?" Racheal asked.
"Above us." Katie replied.
"How do you know?" Sam asked as they started up the stairs.
"Dean told me." Katie answered. "There's ten of them headed for us."
"Yeah, they definitely had more than one psychic floating around this zoo." Racheal said. "So what do we do?"
"Find a place we can wait them out until Dean and the rest of the cavalry gets here." Katie replied.
The whole building suddenly shook, nearly sending them all tumbling back down the stairs.
"There they are now." Racheal said.
"Hell of a wake up call." Sam said.
"No one makes bombs like my girl Rache." Katie said.
"Remind me never to piss off your friends." Sam said with a small laugh.
They continued up the stairs and had just reached the top when a shot rang out from the outer room. Suddenly all the lights came on and Sam cried out as he was blinded. He'd been in the dark for who knows how long and the brightness hurt his eyes badly. He felt himself shifted toward his left and then lowered to the ground.
"Sam, stay here and don't move." Katie ordered. "Big brother will be here soon."
Sam nodded and kept his eyes shut. He heard several people shouting in the distance and something being dragged across the floor. The lights seemed to get dimmer through his closed eyes, so he slowly opened one. He found himself behind a desk and was about to brave a peak around it when the shooting began in earnest.
"Katie, Racheal, where are you?" Sam called over the noise.
"Sam, stay down." Racheal yelled.
Sam was a little panicked. Here he was caught in a shoot out and he didn't have a weapon. He probably wouldn't have done much good given that he couldn't see anything, but he still would've felt better with a gun in his hands. He was about to brave another look around the desk to locate his sister when Katie and Racheal came rolling around either side of the desk.
"They'd better hurry the hell up." Racheal said. "I'm almost out of ammo."
"I've got three clips left and the .38." Katie said as she tossed a clip passed Sam to Racheal.
"Let me have your .38." Sam said as he held out his hand.
"You can't even see." Racheal said as Katie handed the gun over to him.
"I know, but since you two decided to join me back here I don't have to worry about shooting one of you." Sam replied.
Sam didn't even bother to look as he raised his hand over the desk and fired. He heard a woman cry out in pain and a small thud as something hit the floor.
"Nice shot." Katie said.
"Grace, remind me not to piss your little brother off." Racheal said with a laugh.
Sam heard Katie let out a laugh of her own as the three of them started to return fire. Suddenly, Sam heard Dean's voice over the noise.
"Would you three stop shooting at us?"
"I thought I heard extra shots." Racheal said.
Sam felt each of the girls grab his arms and he stood up slowly. He had to shut his eyes again because the lights got brighter, but that didn't seem to bother him much now that both his siblings were with him.
"God Sammy, what did they do to you?" Dean asked.
"I'm ok now." Sam said.
Sam was on the ground again before his brain registered that his legs had given out beneath him. Whatever strength his body had left was now completely gone. He tried to stand himself backup, but couldn't get his muscles to obey him. He started to shake uncontrollably as the fever and wound infection made itself known, along with the rest of his injuries.
"Sam." Dean and Katie yelled together.
"I-I think I w-w-wanna go to s-slee-eep now." Sam stammered.
"Sammy, you gotta stay with us a little bit longer." Katie said. "We're almost out."
"C-can't" Sam replied.
The pain became excruciating and Sam let himself slip into unconsciousness.
