Chapter 9

Katie walked out of the cabin, slamming the door behind her. They had been in Kila, Montana for two weeks and John was driving her crazy. She understood that he was frustrated, but enough was enough. She had her phone out and was dialing Dean's number, before she even realized what she was doing. On the fourth ring, she realized it and then started to get worried cause Dean should have answered by now. When his voicemail picked up, she hung up the phone without leaving a message.

She thought about going back in the house, but decided to walk down to the lake and get some air. Racheal was in the house if John decided he needed something. She walked down to the lakeshore and sat on the bench that Dean had made for her 8 years earlier. She was thinking about the 3 months she and Dean had been on their own after Laura died when her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and then answered it.

"Hey, Dean. How's it going?"

"Hey. Where are you?"

Something about his voice made Katie's hair stand on end. She knew immediately that there was something wrong.

"Dean, what's wrong?" Katie said. She knew she sounded scared, but that didn't matter.

"I need to know where you are." Dean replied.

"I'm in Kila with Racheal. Dean, I know there's something wrong. I can hear it in your voice. Please, just tell me so I can help?"

"I don't think you can fix this one, Graceful. I really screwed up this time."

"You got hurt? What about Sam? Just tell me where you are and I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Sam's fine. We're in Greenfield, Iowa. I need you to come get him."

"Dean, you're scaring the crap out of me here. Just tell me what happened."

"Oh, nothing much. Just had a minor disagreement with one of my juiced up tazers and a puddle of water."

"Oh good god. How bad is the heart damage?"

"I tell you I got electrocuted and you go straight to heart damage. How does that work?"

"I graduated from med school, remember? Please, just answer the question."

"Docs say I got maybe a month."

"I'll be there as soon as I can. Just hang in there, you hear me."

Katie hung up her phone before Dean could say anything else and then ran back to the cabin. Racheal was sitting on the porch swing when Katie got there.

"Racheal. Whe- where's John?" Katie gasped.

"I gave him a sedative to shut him up for a couple hours. What's wrong?"

"I need to get to Iowa. De- Dean's hurt, bad. I- I gotta get t- to him."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down sis before you have a heart attack or something. Just breath for a minute and then tell me what you want me to do."

Katie took a few deep breaths while Racheal stood watching her. As soon as she had her breathing under control, she started again.

"Dean is hurt. They're in Greenfield, Iowa. I need you to stay here with John. Don't let him answer his phone and don't let him leave. He'll just get in the way in his current condition. I'll be back as soon as I know Dean's ok."

"Alright, take the Camero. Call me as soon as you get there and let me know if there is anything I can do to help from here."

"I will, just remember. John cannot find out about this. I don't care if you have to keep him sedated the entire time I'm gone. He will freak the fuck out."

"Oh god, it's that bad? Just go already. I'll take care of your dad."

Katie ran into the cabin, grabbed a few things, and then took off. Half way to Iowa, she got a phone call from Sam.

"Sam, are you ok?" Katie already knew the answer to that question, but she asked him anyway.
"I'm fine, Grace. Listen, I'm calling about Dean."

"I already know, Sam. I should be there in a couple more hours."
Katie heard the sigh of relief that came from her little brother.

"Sam, listen to me." Katie tried to put as much reassurance into her voice as she could, for herself as much as for Sam, "He's going to be just fine. Just take a deep breath and keep telling yourself that. I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Thanks, sis. I'll see you soon."

Katie hung up her phone. It took her a minute to realize that Sam had called her "sis" for the first time in her life. Now she knew for sure that everything was gonna be fine. That one word, coming from Sam, had given her the confidence she had tried to instill in him. She knew that between the two of them, the youngest Winchesters could save their older sibling.
