"Hey. Bobby."
"Sam, where are you?"
"I got a lead on how to find Dean."
"From who?" Bobby's voice sounded suspicious.
"Ruby."
"What? No, Sam you can't believe what she says."
"Why not? I haven't heard from you since that day. And now you call? Why?"
"Because you weren't at the motel when I got back."
"So? Did you find anything?"
"No."
"Great. Then why should I be listening to anything you have to say. I've got my own problems right now. And I don't have time to waste on listening to your theories."
"Sam?"
"No, Bobby," Sam said loudly. "I don't have the time." He slammed his phone shut.
"Sam, what are you doing?" asked Ruby, who had been listening to the one-sided conversation.
"Bobby isn't going to be any help with this."
"How do you know that?" she asked. "That is one smart man. I think he knows what he's doing. If he says he's got something, then maybe..."
"I said no! And that's it. We are going to do this my way, not anyone else's! I found a way, and that's the way this is going to be done."
"The fast way isn't always the best way," Ruby said patiently.
"I said no. And that's it."
"Fine," Ruby said. "How far is it to Montana?"
"All the way across the country. I don't know. A couple days."
Sam stopped at a gas station around noon the following day. "Hey," he said to Ruby, pocketing the car keys, "Stay in the car. I'll be right back." Sam bought a cup of coffee. When he got back out, the tank was filled. "Okay," he said. "Let's...hey, Ruby? Ruby?" He looked around. Ruby wasn't in the car, she hadn't gone inside, and Sam didn't see her anywhere.
Sam went around back of the main building to several of the smaller buildings. She'd probably gone to look for something, with her creepy mind. He had no idea what she thought, if she even could think. "Ruby?" he called again. Sam opened the door of what looked to be a pump house. It squeaked loudly.
Inside it was dusty. Shadows covered the floor. Sam looked closer at an iron gate that leaned against one wall. A twirled design was etched into it. He wondered what it was. But before he could look closer, he heard a noise behind him. Sam whirled around. He saw nothing. There was no one in this building, anyway. So he started to walk out. He heard another noise behind him and turned to look again. Nothing.
"Rub..." Sam said again. He blankly saw something fly toward him. He didn't know what it was, and he didn't have time to figure it out. Because he fell to the ground, passed out.
Ruby walked back out to the car. She held up a car key. She smiled. "Sorry, Sam," she said out loud. "You're just going to slow me down. And we can't have that, can we?" She climbed into the Impala, started the engine, and drove off leaving a cloud of dust. Ruby smiled again, an evil, twisted smile.
So please review, tell me what you think. Thanks!!
