I did something a little weird in this chapter, but explain it in the next one. I hope you like it. Thanks to NIkki for her review of the last chapter and thanks to everyone else for reading.
Chapter 13
"Katie." Sam said as they watched the truck and Impala drive away.
"Sam don't. We need to get this done." Katie turned and walked into the health center before Sam could say anything else.
It took nearly three hours for Sam and Katie to get the information their father wanted. Katie had a slight headache from reading all the small print.
"Well that was lots of fun." Katie said sarcastically.
Katie looked up at her little brother and saw him start to rub his head. Sam was also swaying as if he suddenly felt very dizzy.
"Sam. What's wrong?" Katie asked.
When Sam didn't answer her, Katie started to get scared.
"Sam. Sammy talk to me. What's wrong?"
She watched him for a few more seconds and then walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder. A brief image flashed into Katie's mind and she pulled her hand away from her brother. She had forgotten that Racheal told her there would be side affects from what they had done with Sam at Stanford. When Katie looked back up at Sam, he was digging into his backpack for the map he had placed there.
"Sam, tell me what you saw." Katie said.
"The demon." Sam said as he looked at the map. "It's gonna happen tonight and I think I just found where. Come on, we have to hurry."
Sam ran off toward the park and Katie followed him. Just as they got to the other side, Sam stopped suddenly. Katie watched him start to rub his head again. She looked around the area and then looked back to her brother.
"Sam?"
"There. The woman with the stroller."
Sam jogged over to the woman they saw walking toward the white house and Katie followed.
"Here let me." Sam said to the woman as he reached out for the handle of the stroller. "Looks like you don't need that anymore."
"Oh, thanks." The woman said gratefully.
"She's gorgeous, is she yours?" Sam asked.
"Yeah." The woman replied.
Katie stood behind Sam, scanning the area. She figured it was best to let Sam take the lead because she still had know idea what he had seen in his vision.
"Oh wow, hi. I'm sorry I'm rude, I'm Sam and this is my sister Katie. We just moved in up the block." Sam said.
"Oh hey, I'm Monica and this is Rosie." Monica said. "So welcome to the neighborhood."
"Thank you." Sam said. "She's such a good baby."
"I know she never cries she just stares at everybody." Monica said. "I swear sometimes she looks at you and it's like she's reading your mind."
"What about you Monica? Have you lived here long?" Sam asked.
"My husband and I bought our house just before Rosie was born." Monica replied.
"How old is Rosie?" Sam asked.
"She's six months today." Monica replied. "Big right? She's growing like a weed."
"Yeah." Sam replied. "Monica uh…"
"Yeah."
Katie saw a look cross her younger brother's face as he looked at her. She knew Sam wanted to tell Monica everything, but the woman would have called the police thinking he was just nuts.
"Just uh, just take care of yourself ok?" Sam said.
"Yeah, you too Sam." Monica said. "We'll see you around."
"Yeah, definitely." Sam said as he turned to walk back toward the park.
"It was nice meeting you Katie." Monica called out as a horn honked.
Katie nodded and then followed Sam back across the street. They both turned to watch Monica and her family for a minute. Katie was about to grab her little brother and pull him deeper into the park when he suddenly reached both hands up to his eyes and a small cry of pain escaped him and he started to breathe heavily.
"Just take deep breaths Sam." Katie said soothingly, unsure if Sam could actually hear her.
When Sam started to lean sideways, Katie reached up to hold him steady. As soon as her hand made contact with Sam's shoulder, another image flashed into her mind. She jerked her hand away, but Sam started to fall again and he was trying to reach out to her to stop himself. Deciding to just let things happen on their own, Katie reached out for her brother and held onto him until the vision was over.
Just like the last two times, an image flashed into Katie's mind but she didn't let go of Sam. She saw the baby they had just met lying in her crib. A shadow crossed across the crib and there was a man walking around the room. The image then changed to just outside the nursery and Monica was walking into the room. Katie heard Monica say something to the man standing over her baby's crib a split second before Monica was flung into the wall. A second later Monica was sliding up the wall to the ceiling. From the look on the woman's face, Katie could tell she was in a lot of pain. Monica called out to her daughter and then blood started dripping from Monica's stomach. Suddenly the angle of the vision changed and Katie couldn't see anything but fire.
The vision ended as suddenly as it began. Sam started to slump toward the ground and Katie guided him down.
"We have- We have to…" Sam started.
"Easy Sam." Katie said. "I'll call Dean to come pick us up. You just sit there and take deep breaths."
Sam nodded and rested his head on his knees. Katie walked a few steps away from him as she pulled her cell phone out of her pocket, but she never took her eyes off Sam.
"Dean, we're at the park. Come pick us up." Katie said into her phone.
"What the hell are you doing there?" Dean asked.
"Sam had a vision. I'll let him explain, just come get us."
"I'll be there in five minutes."
Katie walked back over to Sam and sat down on the curb next to him. Dean pulled up in front of them five minutes later. Katie helped Sam up and into the car. She took one last look at Monica's house before getting into the backseat of the Impala. They were back at the motel a few minutes later.
