Dean looks around the room. He turns on the laptop, types in Nenet, then hits the enter key to start his search. He sits back and sighs. The computer beeps and he looks at the page that the computer has found. He begins to read the page.
After an hour Dean's cell rings and he looks at the caller ID. He answers it.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Lucas? I'm Natasha Brown. I'm the nurse who is taking care of your cousin." The feminine voice announced over the phone.
"Yes. Is my cousin alright? He hasn't gotten worse has he?"
"Oh no Mr. Lucas. We removed the tube and he's doing really good. He's been asking for you."
"I'll be right there." He hangs up, turns off the laptop and walks out. He pulls into the hospital parking lot. He gets out of the car and walks into the hospital lobby, going immediately to the information desk. Two women are there. One of them looks at him and smiles.
"May I help you?"
"Yes. I need to find out what room my cousin is in."
"What's his name?"
"His name is Sam Winchester." She types in Sam's name. She reads the page then looks at Dean.
"He's in room 2005." Dean smiles at her.
"Thanks." He walks away. He walks to the elevator and sees the floor guide. He pushes the call button. A few minutes later the doors open and he steps in. The doors close and a few minutes later the doors reopen ,and Dean steps out. He begins to walk toward Sam's room. He gets to the room and walks in. Sam has his eyes closed as Dean walks over.
He pulls up a chair. Dean touches Sam's arm and his eyes fly open. He looks around and his eyes focus on Dean. Dean smiles at him.
"How are you?" Dean asks brushing a bit of lose hair. Sam opens his mouth to say something. His voice is raspy.
"I'm doing good. Did you find out what she did to me?"
"No. I do know that she drugged you but I don't know why."
Sam nods and takes a deep breath.
"We're back to square one." Dean nods. "How soon can I leave?"
"As soon as the Dr. says you can."
"I hope it's soon. I don't like this place." Dean give him a smile as the Dr. walks in.
"Good morning Mr. Winchester." Sam looks at Dean. Dean shrugs.
"How do you feel this morning?"
"I feel great. How soon can I go home?" The Dr. smiles. "I'm going stir crazy. My bro...my cousin..."
"I'll have the nurse come in with all the paper work." He walks out. A few minutes later a nurse walks in with a clipboard, handing it to Sam.
"I need you to sign where the x's are." Sam nods and signs. He finishes signing and hands the clipboard back to her. She walks out and Sam gets up. He goes to the closet and gets his clothes. He begins to get dressed. He sits on the bed and puts his shoes on. A nurse walks in with a wheelchair. Sam looks at her then at the chair.
"I can walk."
"Sorry. It's hospital regulations. I have to wheel you out to your car." Sam nods then gets in the chair. The nurse pushes him down the hall. Dean is walking beside Sam.
"I'll go get the car." He takes off as the nurse smiles and looks down at Sam. They get to the entrance and Dean is there. He opens the door and Sam gets in. They drive away. Sam looks at Dean.
"You broke Dad's rule. Dean, man you gave them our real names."
"No. I gave them your name. I didn't take time to think up a fake one. You were turning blue, dude."
"Man, where am I supposed to come up with that kind of money?"
"Don't worry. It was taken care of." Sam looks at him.
"It was done legit." Dean smirks. "I got on a lucky streak. I paid for it in cash. And I still have money left."
"Ok. Did you find out anything on Nenet?"
"No. Not yet. I tried to find her by Google. I didn't find her. I have talked to someone who can help."
"Who?"
"She's just a friend. I trust her." Sam nods. They pull into the motel parking lot and Dean parks in front of the room. Dean turns the car off and they both get out. Dean unlocks the door and opens it. Sam walks in first and Dean follows him. He looks at Dean and smiles.
"I'm going to take a shower." Dean nods. Sam opens his duffle bag and removes clothes. He walks into the bathroom and turns on the shower. He undresses and steps into the shower. Dean's cell rings."
"Hello?"
"Hello Dean. I have some interesting information for you."
"What did you find out Vala?"
"Two years ago Nenet was asked to leave our church. When she left some of our people went with her."
"Why did you ask her to leave?"
"What she was practicing was not voodoo. It was black magic."
"She was practicing Hoodoo."
"Yes. I have heard that she has declared herself the Mambo."
"She's dangerous?"
"Yes she is. If she is cornered she will not hesitate to kill you and your brother. She will not give you a second thought. What happened to him?"
"He met her at her place. I followed him because I had a bad feeling. I saw her leave by herself and I went up to see if he was alright."
"He wasn't."
"No. When I found him he was having a hard time breathing. He was starting to turn blue. I called 911 and we got him to the hospital. They saved his life."
"Is he alright?"
"He will be." He hears her sigh.
"Tell me about the room where you found him."
"It was a livingroom. She had an altar there, with candles. They were in a circle."
"She performed a ritual."
"What kind?"
"I'm not sure. Ask your brother what she did. I need to know exactly so that I may help."
"Ok Vala. As soon as I know I'll call you. Thanks."
"You're welcome." They hang up. A few minutes later Sam walks out of the bathroom. Dean looks at him.
"Feel better?"
"Yeah. Have you found anything?"
"No. Can you tell me what happened at Nenet's place?"
"When I got there we talked about Katie. Then she asked if wanted something to drink. You know water, soda, a beer. I said a beer would be good. She went and got me one. When she came back she had two glasses."
"What was the reasoning?"
"She said that she only had one and had divided between us. I took a drink. A few minutes later I felt strange. Afraid."
"Then what happened?"
"She lit candles and tried to touch my arm. I tried to get away but she grabbed my arm. I tried to get away but my body wouldn't cooperate. She kissed me then closed her eyes for a split second then she left. I never want to go through that again."
"I see. I don't want to see you like that again either." Sam shivers and looks at Dean. "Have you found her yet?"
"No." Dean looks at his watch. "Want to go eat?" Sam smiles.
"Sure. Let me finish getting dressed." Dean walks toward the door.
"Sure. I need to make a call anyway." He walks outside. He takes his cell and scrolls through the numbers. He stops then pushes the call button.
