SHOUTOUTS\ANSWERS
Nate AndJake (ch 4, 5): Sorry. I thought I had added you to the last shoutout. Don't worry about following the story. I'm just glad you're reviewing. Maybe Sam will be okay, maybe he won't. You're probably right. Thanks. I know this isn't soon enough. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. I will.

DISCLAIMER
Supernatural belongs to the WB. I only own Cassie and her minions.
The first thing Sam was aware of when he woke up hours later was the massive headach.
"Ohhhhh," he groaned.
"Sammy!" Dean cried in relief.
"It's Sam," Sam corrected with another groan.
"Whatever you want," Dean promised.
"Okay, anyone get the number of the truck that hit me?" Sam moaned.
"You weren't in control of yourself, Sam. I did what I had to do," Dean responded. Then it came back to Sam: he had been walking towards the door and Dean had knocked him unconscious.
"Thanks," the youngest Winchester said. Then, he looked at his father. "Dad, why did they bring her back?" he asked. It occurred to Dean that his brother sounded like a little boy.
"I don't know, Sam. But she's not gonna get you," John promised again.
"What I want to know is why you guys didn't salt and torch her bones in the first place," Dean stated.
"There was no time. I had to get your brother out of there," John responded.
"I don't get it. I mean, you dusted her. Any connection between her and Sam would've been gone," Dean persisted.
"Not with what she did to me," Sam stated.
"What are you talkin' about?" Dean wondered.
"Rememember the Hall of Mirrors? When she---" Sam trailed off, unable to say it.
"Yeah," Dean nodded. He remembered Buckuss' little mind game all right. However, he was still a little confused. What was his little brother getting at?
"Well, one of the times she was gettin' in her kicks, she did somethin'---I'm not sure what. She like---mixed our blood or something. Not like a change, but---"
"They were linked," John interrupted. "And I had to get Sam as far away from Santa Cruz as I could. I didn't have time for a salt and torch," he continued.
"And now that they've brought her back..." It was Dean's turn to trail off.
"The link's been re-established," their father finished.
"Oh, man," Dean sighed, blowing out a breath.
