REUNITED AND IT FEELS AWKWARD

SCENE SIXTEEN:

Inside another room, much smaller then the first the Demon that was sent to gather the boy realizes it is over and with a dagger is about to slit Derrick's throat. All of a sudden, he feels the thrust of a blade dig deep into his back, until the tip makes just the tiniest bump impression on the front of his chest without piercing the skin. He bellows from the mouth in blackish grey smoke abandoning the lifeless vessel that falls to the floor. In his place stands Dean still in full miner gear.

The boy turns and takes a step back. Fear quivering with every word, "Who are you?" Seeing the dead body on the floor Derrick turns to the dynamite cage being used to contain the victims. Inside he sees Carmella her hands bound together and a burlap bag covering her head. Beside her is another girl in the same position.

"Hold it, I am with the FBI." The two walk over and enter the cage. "Let's get out of here." Dean thinks about the scene in the front cave and realizes he can not allow that image to be etched into the two girls or Derrick's minds to haunt them for the rest of their lives. "Look, your not going to like this, but the two girls need to remain blind folded and I need to cover your eyes also. I know it sounds crazy or maddening, but what happened in the cave out there, you do not want to see."

The echo of exchanged gunfire slows down to a few pop and bangs then nothing. "What's your name?" Dean makes idol conversation trying to keep the boy calm. He answers and Dean responds, "Well hi Derrick my name is Jonas and we are going to get you out of here and back with your parents in no time." Just then four SWAT members come rushing through the entry with their guns aimed to maim or kill if necessary. "Oh yah, the Calvary has arrived." Dean and Derrick escort the girls out of the cage.

Taking charge of the situation the Swat leader orders his men to lead the children out of the mine with their sight concealed until they reach the safety room. Dean starts to follow but is stopped when the huge hand of the Swat leader presses against his chest. "Hold it I don't want the kids to hear." They walk into the large room and watch as the kids are led across and into the drift. Blood still drips from the silo with skin dangling over the barrel. "This is sick!" For a moment he watches the remaining team members and then checks for strays.

Two men dressed in full Swat gear and air mask step out from the large rock where Onyx and the other Demons disappeared, but don't seem to have found anything. They look to their squad leader who motions them to leave. Turning his attention to Dean he feels the children are out of hearing range. "We are in radio silence mode with no connection to what is going on outside. Agent Hotchner said there is a bomb but we will have no details until we get out of here as to where it is or when it will go off. But it is definitely electronic so if you have a cell phone, turn it off and let's get out of here." He gives one last look for any team member left behind then satisfied everyone has left the SWAT Leader heads across the vast room, giving the appalling sight of the barrel one grieving look, then heads down the drift.

Busy digging through his miner suit to reach his cell phone, Dean does not realize he is left standing alone. Without flipping the top open he takes the battery out and places both pieces into his jean pocket then closes the miner suit. A creepy feeling slips up his back when Dean realizes he is on his own. "Oh, this is disturbing." Reaching the entrance to the drift he calls out, "Hello, is there anyone there?" Taking a deep breath he starts to walk into the darkness. Hitting the miner's light on his hat it does not turn on, "Crap.". Trying again and receiving no light Dean takes the hat and throws it against the side wall. For a moment it glows and Dean feels a bit of relief, but only for a moment. The drift goes total dark. "This can not be happening." Then he sees the Rover Cam aimed into the large room, its small light still working. "Baby, you are the light of my life." He picks the small machine up and uses it to guide his way through the drift.
