"That looks like the van," Kubrick said pointing to a van pulling up to a warehouse in front of them.
"Why is he just getting here? This isn't that far from where he started," Dean wondered.
"No idea, but that is definitely our guy," Kubrick said as Dixon got out of the van and walked into the warehouse.
"Show time," Dean said as he pulled the Impala up behind the van and he and Kubrick got out, both pulling their machetes out.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Dixon walked into the warehouse to see Gordon going at it with some girl. She couldn't be human and taking on Gordon so evenly. He wondered if she was a vampire, a demon, a shapeshifter, or what? He didn't want Gordon to die, though. That would ruin the whole concept of eternal punishment, so he attacked Ruby from behind. Ruby was caught off guard and Dixon sunk his teeth into her. Demon, he realized, with his first taste of blood.
Sam realized it was time he got into the game. He needed to save Ruby. The blood was starting to take effect anyway. He felt strong, invincible, like he did every time after he fed. He jumped up and pulled Dixon off of her. Just then, Dean and Kubrick burst into the room.
Dean saw Dixon and Sam fighting and he rushed up and decapitated Dixon. Kubrick rushed over to Gordon. "Gordon, are you OK?"
"No, I'm not," Gordon answered. He knew that he was going to have to allow Kubrick to kill him, but he wanted to make sure Sam Winchester died first. He got away too many times.
"What's wrong?" Kubrick asked.
"He turned me," Gordon answered.
Dean looked over at him. Vamped out Gordon. That's just what they needed.
"You know what that means?" Kubrick asked softly. He couldn't believe it. Gordon was his idol. He couldn't believe he was going to have to kill him.
"You have to kill me," Gordon answered simply. "But not yet."
"What do you mean, not yet? You're always the first one to say that monsters have to die. You killed your own sister when she was turned," Dean pointed out.
"I know, and I do have to die. But first I need to make sure Sam dies."
"No way," Dean said.
"Just hear me out," Gordon said.
"Are you really going to listen to him?" Ruby asked. She was nervous. She knew that Gordon had seen Sam drinking her blood and Dean might be scared enough of that to kill him. She couldn't let that happen, but she would have trouble fighting two seasoned hunters and a vampire. Sam would probably help with the other two, but Dean…she wasn't sure. Sam still felt guilty about the time that Dean had spent in Hell. The demon blood was making him more selfish and arrogant, but she wasn't sure how far he had come.
"I guess if Sam can listen to a demon, I can listen to a vampire," Dean said bitterly.
With lightning quick demonic reflexes, Ruby grabbed the machete from Kubrick and dispatched Gordon.
"Guess you can't," she said as she was finishing the job.
Dean figured this would be the best chance he would get. He pulled Ruby's knife and plunged it into her back. She glowed red several times before collapsing into a heap next to Gordon.
"NO!" Sam yelled.
Dean had no idea what Gordon was going to tell him, but he knew they were better off with Ruby dead. He just knew it. "Come on, Sam."
"I can't let him walk out of here," Kubrick said.
Sam walked up to him and broke his neck. He felt nothing as he did it. He momentarily found that odd. He remembered the horror he had felt when Jake had done the same thing to Ava. But now? Now, he felt nothing.
"Sam?" Dean asked.
Sam looked at him. He was mad at him for killing Ruby. He was mad at him for going to Hell for him and putting all this blame for him being tortured on him. He was mad at him for breaking the first seal and starting this whole mess. He was mad at him for not being Dean anymore.
Sam took one last look at Dean and ran out into the night. He would find some demon, somewhere, and find some way of keeping him or her captive so he could feed whenever he wanted to.
Dean looked after Sam as he ran. He knew he would never catch up, Sam's legs sometimes seemed as if they were twice as long as Dean's.
Sam wasn't the only one who was mad. Dean was mad at Sam for turning his back on Jake. Had he not done that they wouldn't be in this predicament. He was mad at him for trusting Ruby. He was mad at him for not understanding him. He was mad at him for not being Sammy anymore.
