Sam and Dean got out of their suits. They were ready to go scouting out the place for anything else.

'Holly, I need you to stay here.' Dean spoke out of the silence.

I froze in the middle of my preparing to look at him.

'What?' I was confused.

'You're staying here, Holly. We need someone to be at base. I need Josh to come with me to get closer to some of the parents in this place to figure out what's going on. Sam's going to hunt for its base. It's safer if you wait here.' Dean was being deadly serious.

'Dean-' Sam started.

'No, Sammy. It's my decision. Holly, stay here. You keep your phone on and if we need help, we'll call.' Dean looked right at me.

'Do you really think I'd stay here whilst you go swanning off, Dad? If you think that you don't know me at all.' I snapped.

I picked up my backpack and headed for the door. Dean grabbed me from behind and got me sat on a chair at the table.

'Stay here before you get yourself killed.' Dean wasn't joking.

Sam looked at me apologetically. Dean led Josh and Sam out and slammed the door behind them. I then heard the lock click. I was locked in from the outside. I heard them walk away from the room. I was alone and there was nothing I could do about it.

I'd been sat in the room for about two hours when Sam called.

'Please tell me you've found something.' I almost pleaded with him.

'Yeah. I'm in a warehouse just on the outskirts. I could use some backup if you're up for it.' Sam suggested.

'Let me unpick my way out first. Text me the address.'

Sam hung up and I quickly got a text. I found a bit of paper and left a note for Dean to find. I picked the lock and got out the room. I quickly got out the hotel and I got myself a car to drive over. My driving quickly got me to the warehouse. Another car was parked outside. I walked in and drew my Automatic. The lighting was dim in the building, but I could see just about.

'Sam?' I called.

I got no reply. I kept walking through the warehouse. There was no sound anywhere.

'SAM!' I called again.

'OVER HERE!' I heard Sam call.

I sighed deeply and followed where his voice had come from. I finally found him in the main room, a chair in the middle right next to him.

'Sam, what's going on?' I asked.

Sam turned to look at me. I knew this wasn't Sam.

'You're just in time.' He smiled at me.

'You're not Sam.'

'No. He's not here.'

'What are you?'

'I'll let you guess.'

'Shifter.'

'Very good. Now, I know you looked into Dean's case in St Louis. You know about the Shifter there. I'm getting payback for my kind.'

I turned to run out the room. I didn't get to the doors. Shifter Sam grabbed me from behind and hoisted me off my feet. I screamed as I tried to escape. He got me onto the chair and tied me down, whilst also gagging me.

'How much do you really trust your family, huh? Let's see if they'll come and get you.' Shifter Sam grinned cruelly at me.

I just hoped Dean wouldn't pick up his phone.

Dean and Sam led Josh back to the room. They opened the door and saw the empty room.

'Holly?' Dean called.

Sam walked to the table and found the note she'd left them.

'Dean.' Sam gestured for Dean to take it.

Dean took the note and read it. He looked up at his brother in shock.

'You were with us the whole time. How did that happen?' Dean was confused.

Dean's phone then started ringing. He checked. It was Holly.

'Holly, where are you?' Dean asked.

'Holly can't come to the phone at the moment, Dean.' Sam's voice spoke.

Dean put the phone on speaker.

'What have you done with her?' Dean asked.

'She's secured nice and tightly here with me. I'm surprised you didn't keep a tighter grip on your daughter, Dean.' Sam's voice chuckled.

'What do you want with Holly?' Sam growled.

'Only a little bit of payback, Sammy. You killed my brethren. Now I'll kill one of yours. It's only fair. Got any last words for them, sweetheart?' Sam's voice taunted.

'Don't come down here. I'll be fine. Just keep Josh out of this. Dad, I love you and I'm sorry. Sam, I'm sorry. I guess I had more faith in you than I thought. You sounded troubled, so I came to help you. Keep Dean out of it. Forget about me and move onto the next town.' Holly's voice was shaky, but she was trying to be strong.

'Holly, don't you dare! We're coming to get you! You're my daughter!' Dean snapped.

'That's your downfall, Dean. She's your daughter and because of that, when you get to her all she'll be is a bleeding corpse.' Sam's voice laughed.

'Let her go, you son of a bitch!' Dean yelled.

The phone hung up on them. Sam and Dean looked at each other.

'Josh, we need you to stay here. Keep the door locked and only answer the door if you hear three knocks and two more after a pause, ok?' Sam looked Josh in the eye.

'Ok.' Josh tried to smile, but it was weak.

Sam gently messed up his hair before leaving with Dean. They locked the door behind them and half-ran to the Impala. They got in and sped as fast as they could towards the warehouse they suspected Holly was being held in. They pulled up to find two other cars out the front.

'Let's get my daughter back.' Dean was determined.

Dean led his brother into the building. Both of them had their guns drawn. They stuck together, covering each other's backs.

'Head for the main room.' Dean whispered.

Sam nodded and kept his sights set around them.

'Holly!' Dean called.

There was no reply. They kept walking forward.

'Holly!' Dean called again.

A scream pierced the silence. Both of them ran through the corridors to find the main room. A small shaft of light came through the ceiling onto a chair with a body tied to it. They both ran towards her. It was Holly.

'Holly, wake up.' Dean shook her gently.

Sam drew a knife and cut the rope binding her. She wasn't waking up.

'Holly!' Dean got close to yelling in her face.

'She won't wake up for a while, Dean.' Sam's voice chuckled at their efforts.

Both brothers turned around and saw Shifter Sam.

'What have you done to her?' Dean snarled.

'Chloroform, to keep her out for just a little bit longer. Oh, she had faith in you. When I told her what both of you have done over the years in this business to other people, she still believed you did the right thing. She doesn't know half of it.' Shifter Sam chuckled.

'What have you told her?' Sam asked.

'Enough for her to question your motives, both of yours.' Shifter Sam was enjoying himself.

Dean tried to wake Holly again and it was working slightly.

'Holly, can you hear me?' Dean looked into her slightly open eyes.

'You shouldn't be here.' Holly managed.

'I couldn't leave you, Holly.' Dean tried to support his daughter's body the best he could.

'You care about her now, Dean, huh? Where were you for the rest of her life?' Shifter Sam taunted.

'I didn't know she existed!' Dean barked.

Shifter Sam laughed.

'Oh, but she sure knew about her Daddy. In her worst nightmares that haunted her sleep she could scream out for her Daddy, but he never came. What kind of father are you?' Shifter Sam was getting under Dean's skin.

By Holly's state they knew she wouldn't have long.
