Author's Note: I'm going to start putting in the year for which universe is taking place so no one won't be confused as to which universe is happening.


Chapter 12: Taken

[2014]

Five days had passed and they were nowhere close to finding any clues as to what had happened. Dean, Cas, and Sam were all frustrated and out of patience. They had no idea, not even a theory, as to how the switch was made. Sam left the bunker and went out for a walk. It was the only time he could think and clear his mind. Of course Dean didn't know about Sam leaving the bunker (or else Dean would have argued with Sam for leaving) because Dean and Cas had gone off to another library or something to look into more books.

The sun had set and the full moon was out, lighting Sam's way. It was a warm night so Sam wasn't too concern about not having a jacket with him. A strange feeling had suddenly washed over Sam. He started to feel lightheaded, dizzy, and short of breath. He went over and sat down at a near by bench to try and steady his breathing. Sam started to hear voices but when he looked around, there was no one near him. Just as suddenly the strange feeling had came, it soon was gone.

After that weird experience, Sam walked back to the bunker. After he made himself a sandwich, Sam got a call on his cell.

"Hello?"

"Sam," Charlie had said through the phone.

"Hey, Charlie. What's up? Did you find anything?"

"That is a definite yes! I just couldn't believe I didn't make the connection before!"

"You did?! What connection did you find?"

"Well, it's more of a theory, but it totally makes sense. I mean, everything that happened and how it did... are you at the bunker?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, I'm getting ready to leave my apartment right now. I'll tell you when I'm at the bunker. And make sure Dean and Cas are there, too. I'm pretty sure they'll want to hear this too."

Sam nodded his head. "I'll make sure they'll be here. Thanks, Charlie. I'll see you soon."

"Yeah, see you soon, Sam."

Once Sam and Charlie said their goodbyes and Sam got off the phone, Dean and Castiel walked in.

"Hey," Sam said as he headed over to meet Dean and Cas at the end of the stairs.

Dean noticed Sam's excitement. "Did you find any leads?"

"Not me, but Charlie did. I just got off the phone with her and she said that she has a pretty good theory to what happened. And she also said to make sure that the both of you are here when she comes."

"So, Charlie's on her way," Sam nodded his head to Dean. "Then hopefully she has the right answers or at least a lead to what happened." Sam and Cas agreed with him.

~~~...JustADream...JustADream...JustADream...~~~

Sam, Dean, and Cas were still waiting in the bunker for Charlie to come. Two hours had passed since Charlie had last called Sam.

"Maybe she's lost." Sam offered to Dean, who paced back and forth.

"No," Dean said as he shook his head. "She knows how to get here."

"Then there must be really bad traffic?" Sam was trying to get Dean to stop worrying. In all honesty, Sam was starting to worry, too.

"I'll try calling her again." Dean said.

~~~...JustADream...JustADream...JustADream...~~~

Three and half hours later and the three boys were beyond worrying for their redheaded friend. Dean wanted to drive in the Impala around and see if he could find her but Sam argued that Dean wouldn't be able to know where to look. So instead of doing that, Dean sent Cas out to see if he could find Charlie.

Within a couple of seconds later, Cas was back.

"She's gone."

"What?" Dean asked and Cas was almost afraid to answer back. Cas noticed that Dean didn't look like himself.

"I couldn't find her." Cas said, "But I did stop by her apartment and found this." Cas took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket. He unraveled the paper and handed it to Sam, who had his hand out to take the note from Cas.

Sam read the note out loud. "'If you want to see your friend again, meet me by the phone at 10 AM' ... Someone took Charlie?" Sam thought aloud.

"It would appear that way, yes." Cas said. He looked over to Dean and was really starting to worry about his lover. "Dean,"

Dean busted out and said, "I can't just sit here and wait for someone to call! I need to go and find Charlie!"

"We don't even know where to look!" Cas tried to reason with Dean.

"Well, then we try her apartment. That's where you found the note, right?" Cas nodded his head. "Good. I'll go and check it out. You stay here with Sam."

"Why don't we all just go?" Sam suggested.

"Because we don't know what we're dealing with and it could be dangerous for you."

"I can handle myself." Sam insisted.

After many arguments later, Dean said that Sam could come. "It's 1:30 right now. We have 9 hours before it hits 10 AM, which means we have plenty of time to look for her, but we're not going to waste any of it. We need to be back by then."
