Chapter Nine
Sam had the window open as soon as he heard the door slam shut. Climbing in, he turned around quickly to help Dean, who had lost his grip on the window frame and slipped back down to the ledge.
With his back turned and the noise Dean made, he never heard the door open or saw Miss. Padalecki grab the baseball bat from the corner.
"Sam, look out!" Dean shouted when he was half in the window and saw the bat being poised to strike. It wasn't quick enough though, Sam only got partially turned around before he felt the bat connect with his right side.
Wincing, Sam tried to make a grab for the bat but a foot stuck out toward him. Blocking the kick left him open to another attack with the bat and Sam found himself on the ground, holding onto his right side.
Dean finally made it back into the room with much cursing and went for Miss. Padalecki, intent on grabbing the bat. Before he could reach her, she spun around and pulled something from her belt.
Eyeing the tranquilizer gun, Dean said, "Why didn't you use that before?"
"Because this is more fun," she said with a smirk before pulling the trigger.
Dean managed to dodge the first dart, but not the second. The dart caught him in the butt and he pitched forward, smashing his head off a table before fading into unconsciousness.
"Dean!" Sam tried to help his brother, but was knocked out by a kick to the head. They'd let their guard down and it had only gotten them hurt.
