Sadie and Ruby walked slowly through the cornfield, heading to the exact spot Sam had pointed them to. Sadie had insisted on Sam staying with the car on the highway. There was no sense in risking losing him as well. Sure, the demons had let him go once, but that didn't mean that they wouldn't take him again if they could get their hands on him. She felt confident enough that they wouldn't take Ruby considering she knew nothing about John and his destiny.

"What's to make you think they won't take you the second they realize you're here?" Ruby asked as she walked beside Sadie.

Sadie took a deep breath and looked around at the corn stalks around them. "They need me out here. They know that if I disappear before they get John, he'll disappear, too, and they'll never find him."

Ruby nodded, but it was clear by the look on her face that she didn't totally buy it. "So what's to keep us from leading them straight to him when we leave here? We need to call the hotel, get him out of there."

Sadie's expression turned sad and she frowned. "He's already gone," she said emotionlessly. "I talked to Bobby before we left. He's taking John somewhere safe, somewhere I don't know. That way, even if they did try to take me, I can't tell them anything because I really don't know."

Ruby looked at Sadie. Wow... "So you have no idea where your son is right now?"

Sadie raised her eyes to Ruby and all the sadness, worry, and fear she felt in that moment was reflected in her eyes. "No, I don't," she said quietly.

Sadie's eyes scanned the ground beneath her feet as they walked. She had already seen the imprints Sam had referred to. Despite the prairie wind that blew pretty non-stop, the prints were still present in the loosely packed soil. She could even still see Dean's bootprints. The pattern was so familiar to her and it brought a pang to her heart as she thought about what they must be doing to him down below.

Sadie tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear as they got closer and closer to the point of contact. Without warning, Sadie stopped dead in her tracks and reached out to Ruby, grabbing the girl's arm. "He's here," she said definitively.

Ruby stopped when Sadie grabbed her arm and looked over at Sadie expectantly. When Sadie's steady voice stated that Dean was at this very spot, Ruby looked at her like she was crazy. "How can you tell?"

Sadie dropped her hand from Ruby's arm, but made no attempt to move from the spot where she stood. "I just know it. He's here. I can feel him." Sadie's head cocked to the side as if she was listening for some faroff sound that only she could hear. "He's broken. He's sad. He has no faith in anything anymore." Tears filled her eyes as the emotions that were coming from Dean hit her in waves. She had never felt the connection to him like she did now, not even when they were in London together. She'd never felt this connection with anyone, ever in her life. Not with Dean. Not with her brother, the only demon in existence that shared her demonic bloodline. Not even with her own son. But right now, she could feel Dean's emotions and mental state as clearly as if they were her own. She could distinguish his from hers, but his were overwhelming her. Tears slipped from her eyes as she felt even the physical pain he felt.

Ruby scanned the area around them, unsure what it was that Sadie was picking up on, and even more unsure why Sadie could feel it when she couldn't. If Sadie had truly given up her demonic powers, she shouldn't be able to feel or sense anything beyond what a normal human would. This was definitely not normal, though. Ruby turned her dark eyes back to Sadie. "Where is he, Sadie?"

Sadie still hadn't been able to move. The emotions that ran through her had her paralyzed where she stood. She realized she had stopped breathing and suddenly sucked in a heavy deep breath. She blinked rapidly and looked at Ruby. Her vision had gone blurry and it was taking a minute for Ruby to come back into focus. "He's below us. The tunnels run right through here. I can feel it. We have to find the entrance."

Ruby again looked around the area. "There's nothing out here but corn. What if there isn't a humanly accessible entrance?" Ruby asked. She looked back to Sadie and took a small stepped closer to the woman, just in case.

"There is one," Sadie said quietly, her voice slightly slurred as she found herself slipping back into another trance-like state. She let her eyes relax and go blurry as she tried to focus her mind on Dean. A vision inside her head showed her a type of grid, a virtual map to the tunnels running miles beneath her feet. She again stopped breathing and her eyes rolled back in her head, showing nothing but white orbs. Her head rolled back on her shoulders until she was facing straight up.

Ruby watched Sadie with a veiled expression. What the hell was happening? She'd seen psychics act this was when channeling things they shouldn't be, but she'd never seen this kind of behavior without that situation being present.

Sadie stayed that way for several minutes as images assaulted her mind. She caught glimpses of Dean being beaten beyond recognition, demons moving freely within the tunnels, Dean laying unconscious on the floor of a locked room. The images kept coming at an unimaginable speed until finally Sadie couldn't take anymore. She screamed out as her head and body pitched forward and she fell to her knees on the hard ground.

Ruby rushed to her side, grabbing Sadie by the arm. "Hey!" she shouted as she tried to keep a hold on Sadie. "What the hell was that?"

Sadie couldn't speak as she gasped for breath. She had no idea what that was. She'd never experienced anything like that before. Not that she could remember, anyway. She felt as though her head were going to explode, and her throat was parched beyond belief. "I don't know," she squeaked out. "But I know where Dean is, and how to get to him." Her voice was a mere whisper, the sudden dryness in her throat preventing any actual sound. "We have to get back to the hotel."
