"Sammy!" Becky exclaimed. She knelt down and helped steady him.

"Oh, no. Dodger," Sam whispered. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe this was happening. Not to her. Not to Dodger.

"Sammy, you okay?" Dean queried.

"I should've been here. I should've been here to protect her," Sam murmured. He should've felt something sooner. He should've known.

"Sam, there's no way you could've known," Dean stated. He didn't get it. Why was Sammy beating himself up over this? The girl named Dodger moaned, causing Sam to rise to his feet and walk up to the cot.

"Don't worry, Dodge. I'm here," he assured, as he sat next to her.

"Sammy?" she queried. Had she heard right? Was Sammy really here?

"Yeah, Dodge. Sammy's here," came the assurance. Then, "Why Dodger? Why'd you take the bullet?"

"They were gonna shoot Becky," Dodger answered. Sam's throat muscles constricted and he looked at his friend, mouthing the word 'Hunters?' She nodded.

"Why would they wanna shoot Becky?" Dean wondered. Sam shot Becky a pleading look. Instantly, she knew he was asking her not to say anything. He obviously wasn't ready for his brother to know the truth. Not that she could blame him.

"Uh...I don't know," Becky answered. "They were acting really crazy. I think they were on drugs," she continued.

"Thank you," the younger Winchester mouthed. Her only answer was a reproving look. Dean looked at the group. What was going on? Why was Sammy acting so strange? Why was he so tense?

"So...how's your friend doing?" Dean asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence.

"She's stable...for now. But..." Becky trailed. Sam's eyes clouded worriedly.

"Sammy, you okay?" Dean queried.

"I can't believe I let this happen. I should've stayed close," Sam stated.

"Sam, you were doing...stuff. We understand that," Becky carefully responded. No need to give away Sam's other secret to the pack.

"Stuff doesn't matter! I should've been here!" Sam yelled. "I never should've left," he continued angrily.

"Sam---" Zach began to say.

"Just leave us alone," Sam snappishly interrupted. Everyone stared. "You heard me. Just go---now." With that, one-by-one, Sam's friends left the cave. Sam looked at Dean, the only one who hadn't left. But being the big brother, he had figured Sammy ahdn't met him.

"What are you waiting for? Get out of here," he snarled.

"Sammy," Dean said in surprse. He scoffed inwardly. He didn't really mean that. No way.

"Just leave!" Sam yelled. Dean stared. He couldn't believe it. Sammy was serious. With a defeated sigh, Dean walked out to join the others. Then, the young hunter sat down beside the cot, wrapped his arms around himself, and cried.
