Chapter ten

"Sammy….Sam…." Dean called to his brother. Sam's face was lying in the pool of blood and he was worried that if Sam was unconscious he could actually drown in his own blood. "Come on Sammy….wake up for me buddy…."

Sam moaned and slowly rolled over onto his back. He lay there breathing heavy as he tried to regain some of his strength. After a few minutes he slowly got to his knees then finally managed to stand up. He walked painfully over to Dean and cut him down.

"Those bastards I'll kill each one of them!" Dean said as he glanced at the door as he helped Sam sit down and once more wiped the blood from his face. Sam looked pale and sweaty and Dean knew being forced to use his power was taking its toll on his brother and he wasn't sure how much more he could take. The men were hurting him also, but he knew they'd end up killing his brother if this continued.

"Dean I'm sorry…" Sam said softly.

"What? Why?"

"I tried to stop them before they hurt you but….I can't control it…I tried but…" He shook his head sadly his eyes filled with tears.

"Sam, it's not your fault. I know you can't control it….there's nothing you could have done." Dean reassured his brother.

"What am I going to do Dean? What if I do learn to control it? What if they make me help them rob a bank?"

"If you learn to control it Sam and you get the chance, you take them out."

"What if I can't? What if they still have you?"

"You take them out anyway Sam. If you get the chance …you go for it."

"No, not if they have you, no way." Sam shook his head, there was no way he was going to risk his brother's life.

"Sam, if they force you to help them rob a bank an innocent person could get hurt and you can't let that happen. If you're outside with any of them, and you can control your powers, you take them down."

"Not if you're still with one of them…..No, I can't take that chance….and damn it don't you ask me to Dean."

"Sam if you don't, innocent people could die."

Sam looked down and shook his head.

"Sam that's the whole purpose of what we do, try to save innocent people. If you don't stop them….people could die. We can't let that happen."

"You could die if I do…If one of them gets away or if one stays with you, they'll kill you if I don't do what they say."

"I'll take that chance."

"Well I won't, no way."

"Sam, we do what we've been trained all our lives to do, save lives and take out the bad guys."

"And risk losing your life?"

"If it comes down to that, yeah."

Later

The door opened and the men once more entered the room.

"Okay boys, we're going to try a little experiment." Keith said.

Jerry then held a gun on Dean while Keith attached a narrow collar around Sam's neck then pushed a wire under his skin at the base of his neck. Sam gave a little gasp of pain as the wire was pushed through his skin.

"What the hell are you doing to him?" Dean took a step forward.

"Easy Dean, we're not hurting him." Keith said. "Now let's see if this thing works." Keith looked at Jerry then nodded toward Dean. "Shoot him."

Jerry pointed the gun at Dean's head.

"Noooo!" When Sam shouted Keith pressed a device in his hand and the collar delivered a small electrical shock to the base of Sam's neck. He gave a little cry of surprise and pain. "Don't!" He shouted as he watched Jerry raise the gun. The gun flew out of Jerry's hand just as blood once more run out of Sam's nose, he fell to his knees his eyes squeezed shut in pain.

"You son of a bitch what are you doing to him?" Dean asked as he watched Sam grimace in pain.

"We're just conditioning him."

"Conditioning him? What the hell are you talking about?"

"It seems every time you're threatened with death your brother manages to release this power of his to save you. So we're going to condition him to release his power every time he gets a shock… it will be an automatic reaction. When he gets a shock the conditioning, or brainwashing, or whatever you want to call it, will kick in and his subconscious mind will think we're going to hurt you and his power will be released."

"This isn't TV you jerk! This isn't like the movie Carrie! My brother isn't going to be able to shut doors and windows plus control people. His power isn't that strong."

"Oh I think he'll come in handy, I'm counting on it. He'll keep everyone under control while we get the money, and no one will get hurt."

"Things could go wrong and a lot of people could get hurt. If that happens and someone dies you're looking at murder in the first degree."

"Contrary to what you might think I'm not a murderer, I just want the money. I'll even release you once I know I can control your brother's powers."

"What about Sam, what are you going to do with him?"

"Oh you're brother will have to come with us. We'll hit a few more banks with him, and then when I'm happy with my take, I'll release him."

Keith could tell Dean didn't believe him.

"Your dad and I used to be friends and I know him pretty well. He'll hunt me down if I seriously hurt one of his boys. I just need to hold onto you till I'm certain I can control your brother then you'll be released and your brother will be released some time later. But if you come after me or if your dad does I can't be responsible for what happens to your brother."
