Gordon found out the name of the owner of the private airstrip was Luke Rittenhouse. He did a search of other properties and found out the he had seven large properties all across the country. He would have to check out each one.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"Bobby, Sam's been kidnapped….again," Dean said when he called Bobby.

"Do you know by who and where he is?" Bobby asked.

"According to Bela, she sold him to a guy name Luke Rittenhouse and he's got him stashed on his estate in Colorado."

"I know of him. He's a big deal," Bobby said, not liking the sound of this. "I'll round up some hunters and we'll see if we can't rescue him."

"Thanks, Bobby. I'll meet you there."

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Sam had woken up a few hours earlier and was starving. He looked up to see the ceiling of his cage open and food dropped in. He looked down to find a chicken leg, a piece of bread and an apple. There was a hose pouring water into a bowl in the corner. He soon lost his appetite when he saw a small child thrown into the cage next to him for the Shtriga to feed off of. He remembered the cage outside labeled FOOD SUPPLY and got sick.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"I decided to come alone. There aren't a whole lot of hunters we can trust with this," Bobby explained to Dean when they met up outside of Luke's compound. "I did some research on this guy and it's kind of known among hunters that he has a supernatural zoo. They haven't bothered to do anything about it because they don't care. But this is where the zoo is which means Sam is probably an exhibit."

"OK, what does he have for security?" Dean asked, biting back all the anger he felt about his brother being an "exhibit."

"He has a dozen armed guards on patrol and motion detectors. Lucky for us, the detectors are down today for maintenance. He does it once every two years."

"Are you sure? How do you know that?" Dean asked.

"I got to one of the guards. Turns out the guy's sister was turned into a werewolf last week and Rittenhouse nabbed her for his zoo. He doesn't know that the guard's his sister, so he's trying to figure out a way to get her out. He'll help us if we help him."

"The girl will have to be killed, Bobby," Dean protested. He and Sam had avoided all werewolf cases since Madison, but it wouldn't be right to let her live.

"He knows that. He'd rather kill her quickly and gently than have her locked up in a zoo forever," Bobby said.

Dean nodded. "OK, so we're down to eleven guards that we have to worry about. No problem."

"I went over their routines and if we walk straight in starting in exactly 2 minutes and 35 seconds," Bobby calculated, looking at his watch, "we won't meet up with any of them.

"Great," Dean said. "Is it just me, or does this seem a little too easy?"

"Something has to go our way once in a while, right?" Bobby asked.

Dean shrugged. Not in his experience.

They headed in stealthily and made their way to the zoo. Dean shook his head in disbelief at all the creatures in the cages. A guard came around the corner and Dean lifted his gun. "Dean, this is Mark," Bobby said, pushing Dean's arm down.

"I got the keys," he said holding them up. He went to the cage marked WEREWOLF and opened it. She rushed out and hugged him. Dean looked away knowing this would be a short reunion.

"Where's Sam?" he asked.

"Around the corner," Mark answered, leading them.

"How do the creatures not escape?" Bobby asked.

"The glass isn't glass. It's a combination of salt, silver, and iron. No supernatural creature can penetrate it.

"That's pretty smart," Dean reluctantly admitted.

"Sam," he said when he saw Sam's cage.

"It's soundproof," Mark said as he unlocked it.

"Dean," Sam cried as he rushed out towards him.

"Let's get out of here," Bobby said.

"What about the rest of them?" Sam asked, indicating the cages.

"If we let them out, they'll devour us, Sam," Dean pointed out.

"Let's at least let Lenore out."

"Lenore?" Mark asked.

"The vampire," Sam answered.

"Really?" Mark asked.

"She won't hurt us. She doesn't drink human blood," Sam assured him.

"Uh, yeah she does. What do you think we feed her?" Mark asked.

"Well, only because you feed it to her. When it's her choice, she drinks cattle blood," Sam argued.

"Sammy, we don't know how long she's been here. She probably got a taste for human blood again," Dean said, really wanting to get Sam out of there.

They had been walking as they talked and they were now in front of Lenore's cage. "Please, Dean."

"Fine, but if she attacks us, she can eat you first," Dean said, thinking she actually might be of some help if they were caught.

Mark opened the cage and Lenore walked out. She hadn't heard their conversation, but if she had, she could have told them Dean was right. She had been drinking human blood and she wasn't going back to cows. However, she wouldn't hurt these people who were helping her to escape. She knew better than to bite the hand that fed her.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Gordon pulled up outside the compound in Colorado. He had checked a couple other of this guy's properties, but this one seemed to be his best bet. He started to look around the outside, trying to figure out what there was for security when he heard people headed toward him. He hid behind a bush.

"Where did Mark and his sister go?" Dean asked Bobby.

"I gave him a silver bullet. He wanted to do it in private."

Dean gave him a look. "I trust him, Dean," Bobby said.

"We should take care of the rest of the creatures. They feed them humans."

Gordon popped out from behind the bushes. "We'll start with you, Sammy," he said as he pointed his gun at him.

Lenore had been a little behind the others. She recognized the hunter who had killed her best friend, as well as several other members of her family. She bared her fangs and attacked. Dean, Sam, and Bobby watched the attack and did nothing to try to help Gordon. Dean snuck over to his car and got a machete. When Lenore had taken care of Gordon he beheaded her.

"I had to do it, Sammy. She would keep killing," Dean defended himself.

"I know. I hate this guy for doing that to her. She had fought her nature and won, and he turned her into an animal," Sam said. He was so mad.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" they heard from behind them.

They swung around to find Luke and three armed guards. "Take the escaped creature back to his cage and put the other two in the food bin."

"He's not a creature," Dean yelled. Sam was more concerned about Dean and Bobby going into the food bin.

"Please, no," Sam begged.

Mark came out of the compound. "What's going on?" he asked innocently.

"We seem to have had an escape. Any idea how that happened?"

"No, sir," he answered and at the same time, pulled the trigger of the gun he had hidden in his pocket. Luke went down immediately. The other two guards just looked at each other. They had never really liked the guy and they weren't going to get paid if he was dead anyway. They shrugged their shoulders and walked off. The rest of the guards came running out. When they saw that their boss was dead, they too left.

"I guess he didn't command too much loyalty," Bobby observed.

"We all hated him, but he paid really well," Mark explained.

"Let's take care of the creatures," Dean said. They drove the car right up to the zoo and dispatched the supernatural creatures one at a time. Then they came to the ghost. "We'd have to burn her bones. We don't even know who she is," Dean pointed out.

"Let's leave her. Ghosts don't eat anything," Bobby decided.

"It's not very nice to leave her here for eternity."

"Sam, our job is not to be nice. It's to protect people from the supernatural. She can't hurt anybody from in there. That's as good as we can do in this case. We killed everything else. We even exorcised a demon and the host was still alive. What more do you want?"

"You're right, Dean. I'm sorry," Sam apologized.

"That's OK. Let's get out of here," Dean said.

"You know, boys, I was just thinking. I don't think that rabbit's foot could make Sam's luck any worse than it already was," Bobby said.

Sam and Dean just smiled. They had just killed a bunch of supernatural creatures and freed some "food." Maybe their bad luck was other people's good luck.

The End
