Thanks for the reviews. A few people have contacted me and told me that the review feature isn't always working. Sorry, I have no idea why that is happening.
The Cavern of Death
Chapter three
"So what do we do?" Sam asked.
"We go out to eat, hang out in bars, just get out there and let everyone know we're just passing through town….See if anyone seems interested."
"And hope someone, or something grabs us." Sam added.
"Well hopefully it won't go that far. We just need to try and find out what's happening to these people. If it is a robbery ring then we're out of here, but if it's something else…."
"What if it's something we don't know how to deal with? What if it's something we never met before?"
Dean got up and went over to his duffle bag and pulled out their dad's journal and turned to a section marked unexplained disappearances and began paging through it.
"There are several possibilities in here."
"But what if it's something completely new? Something Dad never even dealt with."
"Well then we improvise."
Sam gave a little laugh and shook his head.
"You know there's more stuff out there then we'll ever know about. Who knows what will kill the next thing down the line."
"Who else is going to do it if we don't try?"
"You really get off on this don't you?" Sam grinned at his brother.
"Hey, it's the thrill of the hunt. Nothing makes me sleep better then to put one of these freaks away for good."
"Yeah….well one day one of them will probably put us away for good."
"Hmmmm never thought of that." Dean got up and stretched. "Well we just got to stay one step ahead of them Sammy boy."
"They can engrave that on our tombstone 'they tried to stay one step ahead of them'."
Later that night
Dean and Sam had stopped at various bars and restaurants in the town throughout the night and decided this bar would be their last stop before heading home for the night. They hung out at the bar playing pool and drinking making sure the patrons knew that they were just passing through the town and weren't planning on staying. After a few hours they were starting to feel the drinks and decided it was time they headed home.
"Be right back, I got to take a leak." Dean said as they were getting ready to leave.
He walked into the men's room and immediately walked over to the sink and splashed some water on his face trying to sober up a little. They had a long drive back to the motel and he knew Sam was in worse shape then he was and he wasn't about to let him drive his car. But as he turned to leave a wave of dizziness hit him. Everything started spinning and he fell heavily against the sink. He could think clearly but it was as if his entire body just turned to mush. He knew immediately that he had been drugged. He had to warn Sam, but his body wouldn't cooperate and he ended up sinking slowly to the floor. It was then that three men walked into the men's room, it was obvious they were the ones who had drugged him. They reached down and pulled him out a side door and into a dark alley. So is this what happened to the other people he wondered? Had they been drugged and then kidnapped? The men then went through his pockets and removed his wallet which one of the men put in his pocket. They then removed his rings and necklace. Okay, what now? he thought. The men started dragging him toward a large truck and were just about to toss him into the back of it when he saw Sam come out into the alley looking for him.
"Hey!" Sam yelled when he saw what was happening. He had gone to check on Dean when he hadn't come back from the restroom and when he couldn't find him had gone looking for him. He ran toward the men and pulled one of them off of Dean but was then hit hard in the stomach by one of the other men. Sam cried out and fell to his knees as a searing pain shot through his wounded stomach. Dean watched helpless as one of the other men walked over and kicked his brother in the same spot. He knew Sam wouldn't have had any problem taking these men out if he had been a hundred percent healthy.
"Oh God…."Sam moaned as he collapsed to the ground rolling back and forth in agony. His stomach hurt almost as much as it had when he had been shot less then a week earlier.
He too was picked up and taken over to the truck where they both were tossed in the back. A man then crawled in the back and Dean watched as he went through his brother's pockets and removed his wallet and jewelry. By this time Dean's body felt completely paralyzed and all he could do was lay there unable to prevent what ever was going to happen to them. He could see Sam grimacing in pain as he kept his arms wrapped around his stomach. His eyes filled with tears as he watched his brother's agony knowing there was nothing he could do to help him.
They could hear the truck start up as Sam painfully managed to crawl over to his brother's side as it took off. Each one of them wondering what was in store for them.
