Thanks so much for the reviews! Here's the next chapter, enjoy!

The first thing Sam and Bobby realized when they reached the place they had left the cars was that they had a serious problem. "Damn it!" Bobby yelled angrily. "Where the hell's my truck?"

Sam stared at the empty space next to the Impala with a sinking feeling in his stomach. "This isn't happening…"

"Some of Lilith's demons must've escaped and taken it." Bobby said. "It's the only explanation."

"Yeah." Sam said bitterly, "Well that's just great. How are we supposed to track down Lilith now?"

Bobby glanced at him. "You were planning on using the device we used yesterday to track her, weren't you?"

"Yeah, I was. Looks like that idea's been shot down, though, cause I'm guessing that was in your truck."

"Yep…along with all my other equipment."

"Damn it!" Sam shouted angrily. "What are we supposed to do now?"

"Look, Sam, just calm down—"

"No, Bobby, I can't calm down, alright! Every second we waste is another second that Dean is suffering in Hell because of me! We need to find Lilith now, and we need to get him back!"

"Exactly, boy!" Bobby shouted back, grabbing hold of his shoulders, "And you flipping out isn't going to help the situation any! Dean needs you to have a cool head so that you can actually think instead of yelling every time something doesn't work!" he paused when he saw Sam's head drop and gave his shoulder a light squeeze. When he spoke again his voice was softer. "Look Sam. There are other ways out there to find Lilith. We're gonna find her."

Sam nodded and swallowed hard to try to get rid of the lump that had risen in his throat.

Bobby nodded and released Sam's shoulders. "Now…do you have a plan B?"

Sam ran a hand over his face, "No, not really. We need to think of something…is there any way to get another of those devices to track her down?"

Bobby shrugged. "Well yeah, but that depends on when you want it. It'll take at least a week for me to track one down and get ahold of it."

Sam shook his head. "Too long."

"Sam…"

"We need something faster, Bobby."

Bobby nodded. "Okay…okay." He paused, thinking. "Any ideas?"

Sam frowned and bit his lip.

"What?" Bobby demanded. "What are you thinking?"

"I was—" he paused and ran a hand through his hair before meeting Bobby's gaze. "Look, just listen for a second okay?"

"That good, huh?" Bobby said skeptically.

"A day ago…back at the house…I summoned Ruby."

"Yeah, I know. You stole her knife."

"Yeah." Sam said. "Well, when she was there…she…she suggested a way to save Dean."

Bobby's eyebrows raised. "Oh, yeah…this is gonna be good."

Sam ignored him. "She said that I could save him…and that I have powers lying dormant inside of me. She said that…Lilith is frightened of me."

"Sam, demons lie—"

Sam shook his head. "I don't think she was lying, Bobby. Why would she lie to me?"

"Oh, I don't know, maybe so that she could get you killed?"

"There's something else…" Sam said, looking away, "Something happened back in that house that I haven't told you, Bobby…something happened when her hellhounds were killing Dean."

Bobby's eyes narrowed slightly. "What are you talking about?"

"I—I'm not sure what happened…actually."

"Sam, just spit it out."

Sam nodded. "There was…this golden light."

"What? What kind of light? Where did it come from?"

"I—I don't know what it was…"

"Well then why does it matter?"

"I think it came from me." Sam said quietly, looking away.

Bobby blinked in confusion. "What?"

Sam sighed. "I—I don't know, really. It's all a blur…one second the hellhounds were killing Dean, and I was screaming for her to stop…and the next…"

"What?" Bobby prompted.

"Next thing I know this golden glow filled the room…and when it was gone the hellhounds had left, and when I stood up Lilith looked…scared. She was scared of me, Bobby. She told me to stay away…but I could move again. She wasn't controlling me anymore...and then she escaped before I could stab her with the knife."

Bobby stood there for a moment, trying to digest all the information. "Why would she have run away? She's powerful…and I thought she wanted you dead."

Sam shook his head. "I don't know, that's the thing. She could have killed me if she'd wanted to, when I was pressed against the wall. It would have been easy."

Bobby let out his breath slowly. "Okay, let's think about this for a second. Are you sure that the light didn't come from Lilith?"

Sam shrugged. "It could have, I suppose…but then why was she so scared of me when it was gone?"

"Yeah…yeah I guess you're right." Bobby admitted reluctantly. "But even if the light came from you, what does that even mean? How does that help us save your brother?"

"If Lilith is scared enough of me to run away, maybe I can make her frightened enough that she'll bring back Dean."

"Whoa…wait just a second, Sam. You're not talking about purposely using your powers—"

"Yeah, I am." Sam said determinedly.

"Sam…let's be logical for a second. First of all, you have no idea how to use your powers, and secondly you haven't even had a vision since the demon died a year ago."

"Ruby said I could control them, they're just dormant right now."

"Right…and I'm guessing Dean didn't take too well to that plan?"

Sam shook his head. "No…but I'm thinking that we should have listened to her...maybe then Dean wouldn't have died."

"Sam, Ruby's a demon—"

"Yeah…she is." Sam said simply. "And I've got demon blood."

Bobby let out an exasperated sigh, "That's not the same thing, Sam."

"Maybe not…but maybe it's close enough." Sam said softly. "Do you trust me?"

"What?"

"Do you trust me?"

Bobby rolled his eyes. "Of course I do, Sam…but damn it, I'm not going to let you lose yourself to find your brother."

"I won't, Bobby. I promise."

Bobby studied Sam hard and saw the determined glint in his eyes. "You're going to go through with this no matter what I say, aren't you?"

"Yes."

Bobby sighed wearily. "Fine. We'll do this your way."

"Thanks, Bobby."

"Don't thank me yet, I still don't agree with this idea…and if something better comes along we're damn sure doing that instead, alright?"

Sam nodded. "Sure."

Bobby wearily leaned against the Impala, and seconds later Sam joined him. Bobby cleared his throat. "We're summoning Ruby, aren't we? That's what you want to do now?"

"Yeah…I need her help so that I can unlock my powers. I don't know how to do it alone."

"I thought Lilith sent her somewhere?"

Sam nodded. "She did…but everything we need to carry out a summoning ritual should be in the Impala…what time is it?"

Bobby slowly looked at his watch. "1:23…"

Sam nodded. "Let's get started. We can just do it here, there's no time to drive somewhere else."

"Yeah." Bobby said. "Well…it's not often that we purposely summon demons for help."

"I know." Sam admitted as he unlocked the trunk and started looking for the needed materials. "Desperate times call for desperate measures."
