THE BENDERS
Evie's POV
The boys and I were in Hibbing, Minnesota standing in front of a mother and son working a new case that sounded up our alley enough to check it out, our cover story was two state police officers and of course I was playing the trainee since I was the one that looked the part better than Dean and Sam.
"I know you're just doing your job but police have been here all week already" the mother said making me look up. "I don't see why we have to go through this again, the more he tells the story the more he believes its true"
"Mrs McKay…" Sam started as the boys removed their hats. "…we know you spoke with local authorities"
"But uh this seems like a matter for the state police, so…" Dean trailed off.
"Don't worry how crazy it sounds Evan, you just tell us what you saw" Sam added.
"I was up late watching TV when I heard this weird noise"
"What did it sound like?" I asked pretending that I was taking the notes.
"It sounded like a monster" Sam looked down at me and Dean since that wasn't exactly specific.
"Tell the officers what you were watching on TV" his mom added.
"Um…Godzilla Vs Mothra" Evan replied and I smiled as did Dean since that was the best Godzilla movie and we used to watch it all the time when they came to visit.
"That's my favorite Godzilla movie, so much better than the original huh?"
"Totally" Evan agreed.
"Yeah, he likes the remake" Dean joked nodding at Sam.
"Yuck" I couldn't help the small laugh at this kid.
"That's what I-" Sam cleared his throat cutting Dean off.
"Evan, did you see what this thing was?" Sam asked getting back to the topic at hand.
"No but I saw it grab Mr Jenkins, it pulled him underneath the car"
"Then what?"
"It took him away, I heard the monster leaving it made this really scary sound"
"What did it sound like Evan?" I asked bouncing the pen against my notepad.
"Like this whining growl" I raised my eyebrow but wrote it down anyway.
"Thanks for your time" I replied before we left heading to a bar called 'Kugel's Keg' after we changed and as soon as I spotted the dart board I headed over with the boys followed and Sam grabbed a table behind us as Dean and I played a few rounds of darts while Sam of course researched.
"So the local police have not ruled out foul play, apparently there were signs of a struggle" Sam finally spoke up just as I threw a dart towards the board hitting the outer circle near the bullseye.
"You know they could be right could just be a kidnapping, maybe this isn't our kind of gig" Dean replied tossing his shot hitting one a 17 making me smile since so far I was smashing his butt.
"Yeah maybe not except for this, Dad marked this area Dean, possible hunting grounds of a phantom attacker"
"Why would he even do that?" I asked walking over since that didn't seem like something John would normally keep track off.
"Well he found a lot of local folklore about a dark figure that comes out at night grabs people then vanishes, he found this too this county has more missing persons per capita than anywhere in the state"
"This is weird" Dean agreed after taking a swig of his beer before walking back towards the dart board. "Don't phantom attackers usually snatch people from their beds, Jenkins was taken from a parking lot"
"Well there are all kinds, spring healed Jacks, phantom gassers, they take people anywhere anytime" Sam argued as I took my shot this time hitting a perfect bullseye smirking back at Dean. "I don't know if this is our kind of gig either-"
"Yeah your right, we should ask around more tomorrow" Dean cut Sam off shooting another shot.
"I saw a motel about five miles back-"
"Whoa, whoa easy let's have another round" Dean was quick to interrupt.
"We should get an early start" Sam replied with a smile shaking his head as he grabbed his wallet throwing down cash to pay for the tab.
"You really know how to have fun don't you grandma?" Dean replied making me laugh as I shot one last dart hitting the bullseye.
"He's right besides I'm winning anyway so better save yourself the embarrassment"
"Alright, I'll meet you's outside I gotta take a leak" I nodded moving over to the table grabbing my jacket as Sam and I walked outside towards the Impala but we heard rustling making us pause and share a look as Sam pulled out a flashlight moving it around especially underneath the cars then he jumped yelling out as a cat hissed.
"Oh Sammy better be careful it looks vicious" I laughed as he stood up chuckling to himself as well, we walked to get in the Impala but that was the last thing I remember as I felt a searing pain in the back of my head before I slumped forward.
Dean's POV
I walked out heading over to Baby ready to make fun of the two killjoys but slowed seeing a cat on a hood and Dad's journal sitting on the boot of Baby and no sign of Sam or Evie in the car which I double checked opening the door but they weren't here instantly making me panic and head back towards the bar in case they were still inside.
"Hey, hey" I called stopping a couple coming out. "You guys been outside around here in…like the last hour or so?" they shook their heads so I moved around looking behind all the cars just in case they were messing with me but knew they wouldn't do this especially with this case. "Sam, Eve!...Sammy, Evelyn!" I looked up seeing a cameras overlooking the parking lot. "Shit" I cursed since this wasn't good.
As soon as morning came I headed to the Sherriff's station heading to the front desk showing the officer one of my fake badges to the lady at the desk since neither Sam or Eve had called last night and their phones weren't even ringing when I tried to call so something was definitely wrong.
"So what can I do for you, Officer Washington?" she asked handing me my badge back.
"I'm working a missing persons?"
"I didn't know the Jenkins case was being covered by state police"
"Uh no, no this is someone else, two actually my cousin and my…my girlfriend, we were having a few last night at this bar down by the highway, I haven't seen them since"
"Do your cousins have drinking problems?" she asked.
"Sam, two beers and he's doing karaoke but Evelyn she may look like a light weight but she can hold her liquor and doesn't drink to excess, they weren't drunk they were taken" she nodded.
"Alright what's their names?" she asked as I walked back when she went towards one of the computers.
"Winchester, Sam Winchester and Evelyn Singer"
"Like the riffle?" she asked and I fought the urge to scoff since I've heard that a lot growing up.
"Like the riffle" I agreed taking a seat.
" 'Samuel Winchester, so you know that his brother Dean Winchester died in St Louis and was suspected of murder"
"Yeah Dean…kind of the black sheep of the family" I replied keeping any emotion off my face as I peered at the screen. "Handsome…though"
"Uh huh" she nodded typing something into the computer. "Well he's not showing up in current field reports and neither is Evelyn Singer"
"Oh I already have a lead, I saw a surveillance camera out by the highway"
"Ahha county traffic cam?"
"Right yeah, I'm thinking the camera picked up whatever took them…or whoever" I corrected myself.
"Well I have access to the traffic cam footage down at the County Works Department but…well in the meantime let's do this the right way, why don't you fill out a missing persons report for both of them…" she turned around with a clip board in her hand. "…and sit tight over here" she pointed to some chairs in the foyer.
"Officer look, he's family and Evie she's…she's important to me, I kind of…I kinda look out for them, you gotta let me go with you"
"I'm sorry I can't do that"
"Well tell me something, your county has its fair share of missing persons, any of them come back?" I asked her. "Sam's my responsibility and I promised Evelyn's dad that I'd protect her, they're coming back, I'm bringing them back"
Evie's POV
I groaned cupping the back of my head as I slowly woke from unconsciousness feeling the remnants of dried blood matting my hair as I slowly sat up looking around noticing I was in a rusted metal cage but my eyes quickly wandered past my cell bars seeing Sam laying in one across from me.
"Sam…Sammy!" I yelled out rushing towards the gate grabbing it trying to rattle it to make noise trying to wake Sam since he was unconscious. "Sam hey!" he jerked moving to sit up with help from the wall. "Thank god" I sighed in relief as he looked over at me standing up and he had to crouch these cages were that small and my claustrophobia was creeping in but I was pushing it back since now was not the time for a mental break down.
"Evie!" he yelled rattling his own cage door.
"No shit dumbass we were both jumped at the bar, I didn't see it did you?" he shook his head before looking to his right and we saw another cage with a man laying down face first, Mr Jenkins I was presuming.
Dean's POV
"Greg, I think we got something" I turned seeing the deputy walking up behind me so I stood from the park bench and she handed me some photos. "These traffic cams take an image every three seconds its apart of the Amber Alert program, these images were all taken around the time your cousin and girlfriend disappeared"
"This really isn't what I'm looking for" I replied flipping through them not seeing anything that stuck out, this is more Sam and Eve's department.
"Just wait, wait next one" she argued motioning me to flip the page and when I did I saw a rusty beat up camper truck looking car. "This was taken right after Sam and Evelyn left the bar, look at the back end of that thing, now look at the plates" I flipped the page to a close up of the plate.
"The plates look new, it was probably stolen"
"So whoever's driving that rust bucket must be involved" she replied just as a van drove by and what drew me to notice it was the noise of the engine, exactly how the kid from earlier described it.
"Hear that engine?"
"Yeah"
"Kind of a whining growl, isn't it?"
"Sure" she agreed as I continued to stare at the van.
"I'll be damned"
Evie's POV
I rolled my eyes as Sam kicked at the side of his cage again still at it for the last hour and a half without it even buckling so I knew that wasn't going to get us out of here.
"Sam it's no use, that's not getting you anywhere"
"I don't see you doing anything to escape" he argued.
"I'm thinking!" I protested looking around again hearing him scoff as he continued kicking in the wall of his cage before finally falling in exhaustion just as we heard groans coming from Mr Jenkins as he started getting up.
"Your alive!" Sam asked him as I leaned forward in my cage to see across better. "Hey you okay?"
"Does it look like I'm okay?" Mr Jenkins spat back.
"Where are we?" I cut in making him turn to me.
"I don't know" he replied shaking his head. "Country I think, smells like the country"
"Your Alvin Jenkins, arent you?" I asked him.
"Yeah" he nodded, Sam and I shared a look.
"We were actually looking for you" Sam spoke up and I nodded.
"Oh yeah?" Jenkins asked sounding displeased.
"Yeah"
"Well no offence but this is a piss-poor rescue"
"Well my brothers out there right now too, he's looking for us so…"
"So he's not going to find us" Jenkins replied making me frown. "We're in the middle of nowhere waiting for them to come back and do god knows what to us"
"What are they, have you seen them?" I asked him since if we knew what we were up against then maybe it'd help us get out of here.
"What are you talking about?"
"Whatever grabbed us, what do they look like?" I asked rolling my eyes at him since this guy was getting on my nerves already but before he could answer me the door opened.
"See for yourself" he spat ducking down just as two things walked in and hit the cage Jenkins was in forcing him to the back before the cage door opened. "Leave me alone, don't you touch me, you leave me alone!" he screamed at it but I saw them place a plate of food making me frown since this wasn't a creature, these people were human.
"I'll be dammed, they're just people" I muttered to myself but loud enough for Sam and Jenkins to hear.
"Yeah, what did you expect?" Jenkins spat back through a mouthful of food.
"How often do they feed you?" Sam asked him.
"Once a day, they use that thing over there to open the cage" he pointed to a control box.
"And that's the only time you see them?" I asked since the more info the better our chances of getting out of here.
"So far but I'm waiting"
"Waiting for what?" Sam and I both asked him at the same time.
"Ned Beatty time" I scoffed.
"I think that's the least of your worries right now" I replied moving to get a better view of the control box before following the wires that came out of it across the beams of the building we were in to where they connected with each cage.
"Oh yeah, what do you think they want then?" he asked just as I reached up from the top of my cage and grabbed some of the wires that were connected to my cage.
"Depends on who they are" Sam replied mirroring my actions.
"They're a bunch of psycho hillbilly rednecks if you ask me, looking for love in all the wrong places" I rolled my eyes as I kept trying to pull of the wire but it wasn't giving.
Dean's POV
The deputy and I were driving following the trail of the pickup truck but I was getting more nervous as the sun went down because Sam and Eve have been missing for over 24hrs and it was killing me not knowing where they were.
"Okay the next traffic cam is 50 miles from here and your pickup didn't pass that one so…"
"So it must have pulled off somewhere, I don't see any other roads here" I replied looking down at the map in my hands.
"Well a lot of these backwoods property's have their own private roads"
"Great" I mumbled looking out the side window because it was like looking for two needles in a haystack, I'd been tempted to call Bobby and tell him about Evie but knew he'd blow up since it was my job to keep his daughter safe and I failed.
"So Gregory?" the deputy said making me turn back to her.
"Yeah" I replied still keeping my eye out for a road.
"I ran your badge number" I inwardly flinched knowing I was busted. "It's routine when working a case with state police for accounting purposes and what have you" I'd turned towards her as she went on. "And they just got back to me" she pulled over. "Says here your badge was stolen and there's a picture of you" she turned the computer and I saw the real Gregory Washington, a heavy fat black guy.
"I lost some weight and I got that Michael Jackson skin disease" I lied but knew it was useless.
"Okay, would you step out of the car please?" she asked unbuckling her seat belt.
"Look, look, look" I quickly said stopping her. "You want to arrest me that's fine I'll cooperate I swear but first please let me find Sam and Evelyn"
"I don't even know who you are or if Sam and Evelyn people are missing"
"Look in my eyes and tell me if I'm lying about this" I replied looking right at her with determination hoping she'd see the desperation in my eyes.
"Identity theft, your impersonating an officer" I sighed having no other option now.
"Here's the thing, when we were young I pretty much pulled Sam from a fire and ever since then I've felt responsible for him and Evie, I've known her since I was four and she's everything to me, it's my job to keep them safe, I'm just afraid if we don't find them fast…please…they're my family" she shook here head.
"I'm sorry you've given me no choice, I have to take you in" she replied then looked away before looking back after a moment and sighed re-buckling her seatbelt. "After we find Sam and Evelyn"
Evie's POV
Sam and I were still in the attempts of pulling on the metal coil wires attached to our cages but I was seriously not even coming loose so I gave up kicking at the cage hurting my foot since it was solid steel but this was ridiculous.
"What are your names again?" Jenkins asked making me roll my eyes since we never said our names to begin with.
"It's Sam" Sam replied still pulling on his wire.
"Why don't you give it up Sammy, there's no way out" Jenkins said making me look up with a glare since only Dean, John and I get to call him Sammy.
"Don't…call…me…Sammy" Sam replied with anger and with a hard pull finally pulled the wire loose and something fell down as I leaned forward excited as he bent down to pick up whatever fell.
"What is it?" I asked him.
"It's a bracket" I sighed as my momentary excitement faded.
"Oh thank god a bracket, now we got them huh?" this Jenkins guy was pissing me off royally but looked up when his cage door suddenly opened and he got up. "Must have been a short" he walked over and swung his cage open before stepping out. "Maybe you knocked something loose" I shook my head since something didn't feel right.
"I think you should get back in Jenkins" I replied anxiously watching the door for any movement.
"What?" he asked stupid a usual clueless person.
"This isn't right" I replied.
"Don't you want to get out of here?" he asked cautiously walking towards the exit.
"Yeah but she's right that was too easy" Sam voiced agreeing with me.
"I'm gonna get out of here and send help, okay don't worry"
"No, were serious Jenkins" I argued shaking my head.
"This might be a trap" Sam added.
"Bye Sammy" Jenkins said before disappearing out the door.
"Jenkins!" Sam exclaimed but it was no use he was gone.
"Freakin Idjit" I muttered rolling my eyes before his cage door slammed shut locking confirming that it was indeed a trap.
It wasn't long before we heard laughing as two guys with their faces still covered came back in hollering about how they just killed Jenkins making me angry but soon turned to fear as one of them stopped in front of my cage and I couldn't see his face in the shadows.
"What do you think, reckon daddy would let me have fun with this one?" I glared at him and kicked out against the door making him jump back startled.
"What he doesn't know can't hurt, she's feisty" the other said unlocking my cage and I was pulled out by my legs.
"Don't touch her!" Sam exclaimed.
"Shut up!" the one who'd unlocked my cage said hitting something against his cage.
"Let go of me!" I screamed but was knocked out and the last thing I saw was Sam frantically rattling his cage as they were dragging me out.
Dean's POV
The deputy and I didn't find any sign of Sam or Evie's location despite looking all night so we returned to town grabbing coffees before we headed back to her car to begin the search again as I tried my best to remain optimistic that they were okay.
"Okay officer, look I don't mean to press my luck-"
"Your luck is so pressed" she replied cutting me off.
"Right, I was wondering why are you helping me out anyway, why don't you just lock me up?"
"My brother Riley disappeared three years ago, a lot like Sam and Evelyn we searched for him but nothing, I know what its like to feel responsible for someone and for them…" she trailed off. "Come on let's keep at it" I didn't press her as we got back into her car and continued the search and finally seemed to have some luck as I spotted a road off to the side.
"Wait, wait, wait pull over here, pull over" she did as I asked and I got out with her following. "This is the first turn off I've seen so far"
"You stay here, I'll check it out"
"No way" I argued with her.
"Hey" she spoke up making me stop. "You're a civilian and a felon I think, I'm not taking you with me"
"You're not going without me" I argued again because there was no way I'm letting anyone else get hurt since I had no idea what it was we were walking into or what had Sam and Evie.
"Alright" she sighed after looking around. "You promise you won't get involved, you'll let me handle it?"
"Yeah I promise" I nodded knowing it was a lie but anything to satisfy her.
"Shake on it" I scoffed taking her hand but she snapped one half of a handcuff around my wrist.
"Oh come on" she walked back over to her car and secured the other side to the door handle. "This is ridiculous, Kathleen I really think you're gonna need my help"
"I'll manage, thank you" she argued walking away locking the car stopping any hope I had to find something to get out of the handcuffs.
"I gotta start carrying paperclips" I muttered to myself after feeling up all my pockets making sure I didn't have any, I looked around standing here like a complete moron before I stopped the antenna on the roof so I started reaching towards it when I heard the sound of the engine again. "Son of a bitch" I angled more when I couldn't reach it just barely touching it with my finger tips and finally started unscrewing it but in haste it dropped luckily in reach so I grabbed it and started using it to unlock the cuffs then took off as I heard them approaching.
I ran up towards the property seeing a house and a lot of cars ranging from old to new but a barn quickly caught my attention so I headed there first going in quietly and cautiously ready for anything to jump out but my eyes fell on some cages and straight away found Sam.
"Sam?" I asked rushing over to it as he smiled. "Are you hurt?"
"No" he replied.
"Damn it's good to see you" I replied with a smile of my own looking around but couldn't see Eve anywhere.
"How did you get out of the cuffs?" I turned and saw the deputy.
"I know a trick or two" I replied before looking around again definitely not seeing Eve. "Where's Eve?" I asked Sam.
"They took her last night, I haven't seen her since" that filled me with dread but I pushed it down knowing Eve was strong so I looked for a way to get these guys out first then I'd get to her.
"Whoa, these locks look like they're gonna be a bitch"
"Well there's some kind of automatic control right there" Sam said pointing at a control box.
"Have you seen them?"
"Yeah, dude they're just people"
"And they jumped you's?" I asked seeing as he shook his head. "Must be getting a little rusty there kiddo" I replied confused on how they got both Sam and Evie down. "What do they want?"
"I don't know they let Jenkins go but that was some sort of a trap, it doesn't make any sense to me" Sam replied as I tried the button but it wasn't doing anything to unlock the cages.
"Well that's the point, you know with our usual playmates there's rules, there's patterns but with people they're just crazy"
"See anything else out there?"
"Uh there's about a dozen junked cars hidden out back, plates from all over so I'm thinkin' when they take someone they take their car, too" I replied.
"Did you see a black Mustang out there, about ten years old?" Kathleen asks me.
"Yeah, actually, I did" I replied recalling seeing a mustang and she looks down sad "Your brother's?" I ask and she nods "I'm sorry" I added then looked around. "Let's get you guys out of here, then we'll take care of those bastards" I looked at the control panel again. "This thing takes a key, key?" I asked looking at Sam.
"I don't know"
"Alright, I better go find it" I start to walk out.
"Hey" Sam calls stopping me. "Be careful"
"Yeah"
Evie's POV
I screamed and kicked out again as these bastards tried holding me down and managed to kick the one by my feet right in the groin sending him to his knees holding his manhood in pain and I tried to make a run for it but was pulled back by my hair.
"You'll pay for that one bitch" they had me on the table again this time with both my hands and legs held down.
"Boys!" an older males voice called out and the two holding me stopped. "What are you doing, why is she out of her cage?"
"We wanted to have some fun, she's so purdy" one replied running the back of his fingers down the side of my face as I flinched away.
"We just want one night then we can hunt the bitch down" I glared since if that's what these sicko's do it was disgusting.
"Alright just clean up after yourselves" the older man left and the two younger ones shared a smile that made me sick.
"Let go of me!" I screamed but was cut off as the one by my head tied something around my mouth stopping me from talking but I continued to scream through it.
"Keep still!" they protested slapping me across the face as the one by my feet was reaching for my jeans trying to get them undone, in his distraction I kicked out again colliding with his stomach this time before using the distraction to jump up and throw the table up hitting the other watching him slump to the ground unconscious already before quickly spinning to the one I kicked and threw my arm out hitting the side of his head and he too fell down out cold so I wasted no time rushing out quietly tip-toeing down the hall looking for a way out but as I rounded a corner I ran into someone and started to scream but a hand quickly covered my mouth.
I looked up and saw Dean holding a finger to his lips making me sigh in relief as I wrapped my arms around his waist crashing myself to him as he held me just as tightly before looking up as he mouthed 'Are you okay?' and all I could do was nod but it didn't reassure him as his eyes dropped to my undone jeans so I quickly shook my head telling him that they hadn't although it didn't make him any less angry as he pressed forward keeping a secure arm around my waist as if he was scared if he let go I'd disappear again.
We walked down the hall with him grabbing a weapon with his other hand, a long stick with a nail in one hand as we saw the older guy from earlier in the kitchen using various knives on something that I didn't even want to think what it was before we spotted a box full of keys but Dean hesitated picking up a jar full of teeth and I shuddered looking away feeling like I was gonna be sick just as we heard the creek of floorboards underneath someone's feet behind us so Dean and I both spun but saw a little girl who jumped at the sight of us seeing her.
"Shh, shh" Dean quickly said taking a step forward. "It's okay, we're not going to hurt you"
"I know" the girl replied flipping out a small pen knife and slashed forward at Dean catching his jacket with the blade stabbing it into the wall. "Daddy!"
"Jeez!" Dean exclaimed not expecting that and tried to get himself loose.
"Daddy, Daddy!" the girl continued to scream just as Dean pulled the knife away but one of the guys from earlier emerged down the hall and I recoiled backing up but was grabbed by the other as he lifted me up.
"Let her go!" Dean yelled but was quickly in a fight with the other one as I fought with my own captor who seemed extra pissed probably for the fact I'd knocked him out with one move.
"Dean!" I screamed as he was thrown into the wall but he got back up and landed a few punches in before I was suddenly let go and the guy ran at Dean intending to tackle him but years of training Dean easily evaded it and threw him into the wall instead before they danced around each other throwing a couple punches before I ran in.
"I'm gonna kick your ass first and then yours" Dean said after getting tackled again but I saw the older guy walking up behind him and before I could yell out a warning I was grabbed and a hand covered over my mouth as Dean was hit in the back of the head and was out cold instantly.
"Dean!" I screamed with it garbled by the guys hand.
"Tie 'em up" I tried to fight but it was no use with two of them and they quickly tied me down in a chair before grabbing Dean and tying him down in another beside me.
"Let us go you sick freaks!" I yelled and was rewarded by a slap across the face. "Son of a…" I groaned blinking a blood startled trickling down my face into my eye. "I'm gonna kill you!"
"Mm keeping talking, we like 'em feisty" I spat in his face as he got close to me which resulted in another slap across my face before Dean finally started stirring.
"Come on, let's hunt him" the younger out of the two guys from earlier said.
"Yeah this ones a fighter, sure would be fun to hunt" the other added as they looked at their 'daddy'.
"Oh you gotta be kidding me, that's what this is about you…you yahoo's hunt people?" Dean replied looking around at the sick people.
"You ever killed before?" the older 'daddy' asked looking straight at Dean with a sick twisted smile.
"What…well that depends on what you mean?"
"I've hunted all my life, just like my father, his before him, I've hunted deer and bear I even got a cougar once, oh boy but the best hunt is human" he nodded as Dean and I shared a look. "Oh there's nothing like it, holding their life in your hands seeing the fear in their eyes just before they go dark, makes you feel powerful alive"
"You're a sick puppy" Dean and I said at the exact same time and the guys smile fell.
"We give them a weapon, give them a fighting chance its kind of like our tradition passed down from father to son" he replied looking back at his sons with pride as the youngest stroked the young girls hair as she stared at us with venom especially at me. "Course only one or two a year, never enough to bring the law down, we never been that sloppy"
"Oh yeah well don't sell yourself short, you're plenty sloppy" Dean replied groaning making a jab at the way they all smell.
"So what, you with that pretty cop?" he asked Dean and I saw his kids all smiling making me feel even sicker since they were all messed up even the little girl. "You a cop?"
"If I tell you…you promise not to make me into an ashtray?" Dean replied and was suddenly hit making me fight my restraints.
"Don't touch him!" I exclaimed and they all smiled.
"They sure do get angry when we hurt the other, don't they daddy" the little girl asked making me glare at her.
"Only reason I don't let my boys take you right here and now is there's something I need to know"
"Yeah how about its not nice to marry your sister" Dean replied rolling around his jaw to fight off the pain.
"Tell me, any other cops gonna come looking for you?" the leader asked holding up a hot iron poker with a red tip.
"Eat me" Dean groaned. "No, no, no wait, wait, wait you actually might" he quickly added making me roll my eyes.
"You think this is funny?" the guy asked as one of his sons grabbed Dean by the jaw from behind as the older one raised the hot end towards Dean's face.
"No please…not the face" I yelled out but was slapped by the other son and Dean glared at him.
"You brought this down on my family" Dean huffed in both anger and I could tell a little bit of fear too as he stared at the guy. "Alright, you wanna play games…we'll play some games" I frowned as he looked up at his son holding Dean. "Looks like we're gonna have a hunt tonight after all boys and you get to pick the animal, the boy or the cop?"
"Okay wait, wait, wait no, look nobody's coming for me alright, it's just us" Dean replied voice trembling in fear.
"You don't chose I will and I might just chose this little thing right here" he guy said pointing at me with the poker before touching it to my shoulder and I groaned out in pain as I felt the searing pain even through my shirt as it burnt right through it.
"Oh you son of a bitch!" Dean yelled out as he stopped but he lowered the poker again this time towards my eye and when I tried to move away the other brother grabbed my head keeping it in place the same as Dean.
"Next time I'll take her eye"
"Alright, alright the guy, the guy, take the guy" Dean yelled out surprising me but I knew his plan, Sam stood a way better chance against these assholes than whoever this cop they were talking about.
"Lee, go do it" the older one said removing a key from around his neck throwing it towards the one behind me who'd let go of me. "Don't let him out though, shoot him in the cage" my eyes widened.
"What?" Dean and I both asked them.
"I thought you said you were gonna hunt him, you were gonna give him a chance" Dean added.
"Lee" he called stopping his son. "When you're done with the boy, shoot the bitch too" the son…'Lee' nodded grabbing a riffle out of a gun rack. "We gotta clean this mess up before any more cops come running out here" the guy was gone and it wasn't long before we heard a gunshot from outside.
"You hurt my brother and I'll kill you, I swear I'll kill you all" Dean spat with anger and fear glaring at the father as he stood and started to walk away. "I'll kill you all!"
"Lee!" the guy screamed out into the night from the open front door but got no answer which gave me a flicker of hope that Sam was okay. "Lee!" he screamed again but again no answer so he turned towards the son hovering behind me giving me sick fantasy looks. "Jared you come with me, Missy you watch them now" the young girl nodded before the men left both with rifles but my attention was on the girl who raised the pen knife towards Dean's eye.
"Hey, hey" I called making her turn to me.
"Evelyn don't!" Dean said but I sent him a look to shut up and a glare for using my full name.
"I'm sure you don't want to do this, your just a kid now you let us go and we can get you away from them"
"Shut up" she said making me frown but she'd stepped into the right position just like I wanted her to.
I threw myself back despite knowing it was gonna hurt and landing on my arms but the chair broke underneath the force and kicked out with my feet knocking her over and Sam chose that moment to walk in and secured the little bitch locking her in a closet before coming over and untying us before we ran out of the house and saw a lady in police issued pants and a white top which I assumed was the cop they'd all been talking about.
"Where's the girl?" she asked looking around.
"Locked in a closet, what about the dad?" Dean asked her.
"Shot, trying to escape" she replied but I could tell that was a lie even without knowing exactly who this was so we walked away with me holding my arm close to my chest to relieve some of the pain in my shoulder.
"I think the cars at the police station" Dean said pulling me towards him by my waist and I clung to him not in fear but relief since for a minute I never thought I'd be able to hold him like this again.
"So…state police and the FBI are gonna be here within the hour, they're gonna wanna to talk to you, I suggest that your all long gone by then" the cop said coming up behind us.
"Thanks" Dean nodded. "Listen I don't mean to press our luck but we're kind of in the middle of nowhere, think we could catch a ride?" I rolled my eyes.
"Start walking" the cop replied making me smile. "Duck if you see a squad car"
"Sounds great to me, thanks" Sam cut in before Dean could but Dean just kept going.
"Listen uh…sorry about your brother"
"Thank you" she replied with a smile. "It was really hard not knowing what happened but I thought it would be easier once I knew the truth but it isn't…really" I frowned feeling sorry for her cause I couldn't imagine the pain she was in. "Anyway you should go" we nodded and finally turned walking away from her.
"Don't ever do that again" Dean spat when we were far enough away.
"Do what?" Sam and I asked him.
"Go missing like that" he replied and Sam and I shared a look both smiling.
"You were worried about us?" I asked looking up at Dean from underneath his arm which was wrapped over my good shoulder as I still held the injured one.
"All I'm saying is either of you vanish like that again, I'm not looking for you's"
"Sure you won't" Sam replied as we laughed at Dean.
"No I'm not" Dean argued but we knew it was a big fat lie.
"So you's got sidelines by a 13-year-old girl, huh?"
"Oh shut up" Dean replied as I stayed quiet thinking back to the fact I was nearly raped by those two hillbillies.
"I'm just saying, you're getting rusty there kiddo"
"Shut up" Dean repeated this time with a laugh meaning I'd missed a joke there but it didn't matter, we were all okay and that's all that mattered.
