The motel turned out to be a bust. Gordon had checked out and his room was already rented out, so they couldn't even search the room. Sam was pissed. He had really been hoping that Gordon would still be there and they could end this now.
"Well I guess should head back to the bookstore and figure out our next move." said Dean. He had no clue what to do next, but he knew Sam would want to check on Madison
"Good idea." Sam knew Madison was safe at the bookstore, but he'd feel better when he saw it with his own two eyes.
oooooOOOOooooo
Sam walked into the store and almost immediately got this feeling that something was wrong. He noticed a pair of legs sticking out from behind the counter. He rushed over to find Lindsay unconscious on the floor and Sid struggling with the ropes tying him up.
"Oh my god Sid, Lindsay!" shouted Sam. After removing Sid's gag, he quickly untied him.
Dean begin looking around the store to see if whoever did this was still around. And where was Madison he wondered.
"Sid where's Madison?" Sam's heart was in his throat as he asked this.
"I'm sorry Sam. He took her," said Sid as he scooted over to Lindsay's side. She was starting to regain consciousness.
"WHAT?" shouted Sam.
"Sam, I checked the store. There's nobody else here," said Dean as he walked over to the register.
Sam finished untying Sid and helped him over to a chair to sit down. Lindsay was awake now and tried to stand up. She was a little dizzy on her feet, so Dean helped her over to the sofa in the reading area to sit down.
Sam felt sick to his stomach at the thought of Gordon having his wife. He wanted to stand up and scream at the top of his lungs. He felt an urge to grab the heavy oak coffee table in front of him and throw it through the front glass window. However, he knew that wouldn't help the situation at all.
"What happened here?" asked Dean.
"The girls where in the stockroom. I was arranging a display of books when I heard the front door open. I thought it was a customer, so I went to see if they needed help. Next thing I know he has a gun on me asking where Madison was. I said she wasn't here, but he didn't believe me. He told me to call her up front, but I refused. Then he grabbed me and started to tie me up. I struggled with him, but he was too strong for me. He gagged me and put me behind the register. I heard him say that she will have to come up front eventually, then he disappeared from my sight. I think about ten minutes passed before the girls came up front." Sid paused to catch his breath.
"Madison and I decided to get something to drink." Lindsay picked up where Sid left off. "When we came up front we didn't see Dad anywhere. I thought that was odd. After checking behind the counter I found Dad bound and gagged. I start untying him and next thing I know some guy is grabbing Madison. I tried to help her and that's the last thing I remember," said Lindsay as she reached a hand around to feel the lump on her head.
"That bastard shoved Lindsay and she hit her head. Madison was still struggling with him when he slammed her head into the wall and knocked her out. Then he gagged me again and left with Madison in his arms. I'm so sorry Sam." Sid was angry with himself for letting things get so out of hand.
Sam was trying to process everything he just heard. That bastard Gordon now had his wife. An image of Gordon torturing that vampire Lenore flashed through his mind. There's no way he could possibly know Maddy's a werewolf thought Sam. Is there?
oooooOOOOooooo
Madison woke up tied to a wooden chair in a brightly-lit room with white walls. The only other furniture in the room was another wooden chair with two pairs of handcuffs on the seat. She had no clue where she was and her head was throbbing. She struggled against the ropes holding her, but they wouldn't budge. If I was in wolf form, I could easily break them; however, the full moon is over a week away she thought. She noticed that she wasn't alone in the room. Gordon had been standing on the opposite side of the room, but walked over when he realized she was waking up.
"Hello Madison." Gordon leaned in her face.
"Hello Jeff or should I say Gordon." Madison couldn't help but try to back away even though she knew that was not possible.
"So Sammy figured out it was me. Did he ever tell you about me? I can't imagine he would want a woman as lovely as you to know about all the things he's seen and done," said Gordon looking into her eyes.
"Sam doesn't keep secrets from me. He told me all about how you tortured that woman Lenore and killed that boy Scott," said Madison as she turned away from Gordon's intense gaze.
"Scott deserved to die for what he was going to do," hissed Gordon.
"Is that what you told his grieving father, that his son deserved to die? Is that what you were telling Dean when you tried to kill Sam?" said Madison with a glare.
"You weren't kidding Maddy. Sam really did tell you everything about me," chuckled Gordon.
"Why are you doing this? In case you hadn't heard the demon is dead." Maybe he really doesn't know she thought.
"You know after two and a half years in prison you find you just don't care about certain things anymore. Right now my only goal is too make Sam pay for sending me to jail. I'm sorry you had to get caught in the middle, but you are his wife Maddy." Gordon patted her on the arm as he said that last part.
"Stop calling me that." Only Sam gets to call me that she silently added.
"Oh Maddy, Maddy, Maddy. You are a feisty one aren't you," said Gordon as he walked behind Madison and whispered in her ear.
Madison had twisted her hair into a bun earlier too keep it out of her face while she took inventory. She would wish she hadn't. As Gordon moved back from Madison he noticed a scar in the shape of a bite mark on the back of her neck. It looked familiar to him.
"Madison, how did you get this bite mark on your neck?" asked Gordon as he traced it with his index finger.
Madison flinched when he touched her. Oh God, he knows I'm a werewolf she thought. How? That bite mark could be from anything she reasoned.
"A dog bit me" answered Madison calmly.
"Dog bite? Do you really think I'm that stupid? I've been hunting long enough to recognize a werewolf bite when I see one." Gordon continued to stare at her neck. Sammy's married to a werewolf. Well I guess I can kill two birds with one stone he reasoned.
Madison was forcing herself to remain calm. He figured out her biggest secret. Oh God I just want Sam to find me she thought. Please don't let me die.
"I can't believe Sam's married to a werewolf. What did he bring you on a hunt and let you get bitten? Were you used as bait?" asked a curious Gordon.
"You don't know what you're talking about," hissed Madison.
"Wait don't tell me you were a werewolf already when he met you. Is that how you met? He and Dean were on a hunt for a werewolf and Sam found you. One look at your beautiful face and Sam couldn't bear to kill you. Am I right?" taunted Gordon.
"Shut up!" yelled Madison. What happened between her and Sam that first weekend together was none of Gordon's business.
"Once again, Sam has a week spot for an evil creature. So Madison how many people did you kill before Sam found you?" One look at a Madison's face and Gordon could tell he hit a nerve.
oooooOOOOooooo
"So what, we sit around and twiddle our thumbs. He has my wife," growled Sam.
Dean was trying to convince Sam that they couldn't go off half cocked looking for Gordon. They had no clue where to start looking.
"I'm not saying that, but we have no idea where to even look." Dean didn't bother with that crap about I know how you feel, because being unmarried he didn't know how one would feel if a lunatic grabbed your wife.
"Dean what are we going to do?" asked Sam.
The phone began to ring, but Sid ignored it. Now was not a time to deal with customers. It would stop ringing eventually. However, Sam thought it might be Gordon, so he decided to answer it.
"Hello Martin Books," answered Sam trying to remain calm.
"Hello Sammy," You could practically hear Gordon's smile through the phone.
"Where is she?" demanded Sam.
"Now Sammy, is that how you greet an old friend?" admonished Gordon.
"We're not friends, now where the hell is my wife?" growled Sam.
"Sammy, I'm calling the shots now, not you. If you want to see Madison alive again, then you'll do what I say, understand?" asked Gordon.
"Yes" Sam hated agreeing, but he knew for the moment he had to do what Gordon said if he wanted to see Madison again. After she was safe, he would make Gordon pay.
"I'm going to give you an address. I want you to meet us there," instructed Gordon.
"I want to talk Madison first." Sam needed to hear her voice.
"Sammy remember what I just said. Oh well, I guess it can't hurt," said Gordon as he put the phone to Madison's ear.
"Sam," cried Madison.
"Oh Maddy, baby are you okay?" Sam was grateful to hear her voice.
"I'm fine. Gordon…" She was about to tell Sam that Gordon knows she's a werewolf, but the phone was pulled away from her ear.
"That's enough. Now Sam you'd better come alone. If I see your brother anywhere near here, Madison will be the one that pays." Gordon knew better than to tangle with Dean, after trying that twice already and failing both times.
Sam quickly wrote down the address that Gordon gave him. Hanging up, he turned to face everyone. His face was one of sheer anger. It was time to go rescue his wife and make that bastard suffer for hurting her.
"I have to go now. Dean, you stay here with Sid and Lindsay," instructed Sam.
"No way I'm letting you go alone. I'm coming with you." There was no way in hell he was going to let his brother face Gordon by himself.
"You can't. Gordon will hurt Madison if he sees you." Sam hated letting Gordon call the shots, but he had no choice.
"Damn it!" growled Dean. "I don't like this Sam. It could be a trap"
"I know, but until Maddy's safe, I have to do what he says," answered Sam.
"Okay, but I want that address. If I don't hear from you in two hours, I'm coming after you." Dean's tone left no room for argument.
After downloading directions to where Gordon was holding Madison, Sam said goodbye and headed out to go rescue his wife. Sid locked the door after him and put up the closed sign. Then he joined Dean and Lindsay to play the dreaded waiting game.
oooooOOOOooooo
"Madison your knight in shining armor is coming to rescue you, too bad it will be the last thing he ever tries to do," Gordon whispered in her ear.
Madison blinked back her tears, refusing to give Gordon the satisfaction of watching her cry. God, please don't let Sam die she silently prayed.
