Just Another Bad Day

Chapter nine

"What the hell!" Jim said backing up toward the steps.

"Get out of here!" Dean shouted to Jim as he reached down and as gently as he could helped Sam up off the floor and toward the steps.

Once they reached the top of the steps Dean slammed the door shut. He then lowered Sam to the floor then locked and barricaded the door the best he could. He then went over and knelt next to his brother.

Hearing all the noise, Frank came storming into the kitchen.

"What the hell's going on?" He asked angrily.

"There's someone in the basement!" Jim told him as he stared at the basement door half expecting it to fly open.

"What?"

"There's someone down there."

"Was it Mike?"

"I don't know, who ever it was stayed in the shadows."

"It was probably Mike you imbecile."

"If it was, then why didn't he say something?"

"How the hell do I know?"

Frank walked over and stood in front of Jim and could tell something had frightened him.

"What the hell's wrong with you? Why are you shaking?"

Jim gave a nervous laugh.

"They were trying to convince me there was a vampire down there." He said glaring at Dean as he realized how ridiculous he sounded in front of his partner.

"And you believed them? I always knew you were an idiot but…."

"He's telling you the truth." Dean interrupted him. "There is something evil down in that basement." Dean said as he gently removed Sam's bandage and could see that some of the stitches had popped. "My brother's bleeding again; I need to get Karen back in here to check him out and restitch him." Dean had stitched his brother's wounds hundreds of times before, but he knew Karen, being an operating room nurse, would do a better job, plus he wanted Karen to take a look at Sam who seemed to be running a fever.

Frank knew if something happened to Sam, even though he hadn't been injured by them, they'd still be held accountable, so he walked over to the dining room door.

"Karen! Get back in here!"

She hurried back into the kitchen and looked at him questionably wondering why she was needed but then she saw Sam lying on the floor. She quickly knelt down next to him.

"What happened?" She asked looking at Dean.

"He ripped open the incision…and I think he's running a fever."

Karen put her hand on Sam's forehead then gave Dean a worried look.

"He's burning up."

"Damn it!" Dean looked over at Frank who he hoped was the more reasonable of the two men. "My brother needs a doctor, he has a fever."

"What do you mean there's something evil down there?" Frank asked ignoring Dean's concern about his brother.

"Just trust me….you don't want to open that door."

Frank was beginning to get worried. Was there really someone in the basement and who was it? Could it be Mike? Or had the cops somehow found out about the hostage situation and had broken into the basement?

"What did he look like?" He asked his partner.

"I told you he didn't move out of the shadows." Jim said trying not to show how freaked out he really was. He had seen the blood in the basement and had no idea how it had gotten there.

Frank looked back and forth between Dean and Sam.

"Did either of you see him?"

Sam gave a little nod.

"He had blonde hair, a mustache, and sideburns….."

"That sounds like Mike." Frank looked over at Jim. "Why the hell would he be hiding down in the basement?"

"Who knows? But if it was Mike why didn't he say something?" Jim looked down at Sam. "There was blood on the floor ….maybe the kid hurt Mike, maybe that's why he couldn't talk."

Jim walked over and stood over Sam.

"You hurt Mike didn't you?" He reached down to grab Sam's arm and pull him up but Dean's hand shot out and grabbed his hand before he could touch his brother.

"Try that again and I'll break it!" Dean said as he twisted Jim's hand, his brother was already hurt and no one was going to hurt him further.

Jim yelped in pain then put his gun at Dean's head, but Dean didn't flinch

"Dean…let him go." Sam waited till Dean released Jim's hand then looked at Jim. "I didn't hurt your friend…. the thing that's down there did."

"Look I don't know what the hell's going on here but I'm going down there and find out." Frank walked to the basement door then looked back at Sam. "If you hurt my buddy, you're dead."

"I wouldn't do that if I was you, you don't know what you're dealing with." Dean warned as he stood up.

"Well you're not me." Frank looked at Jim. "Keep an eye on them." Frank opened the door to the basement. "If they try anything shoot them." He said before heading down the steps.
