Chapter 31

"Got any idea's," asked Tony. Bryan looked at his partner and nodded.

"Care to share," said Tony sarcastically. Bryan grinned and said, "You're not going to like it."

"Sure I will. Try me," said Tony. Bryan took a deep breath. "Okay. I need you to create a diversion."

"Yeah, and just how do you suggest I do that?"

"Surrender to the man that's shooting at us," said Bryan and continued to grin.

"Excuse me," said Tony. "Did I hear you right?"

"Yes," said Bryan. "Look, the guy doesn't want to kill us or we'd be dead already. He's too good of a shot. It looks like he's placing the bullets right where he wants them to go, so I was thinking, if you surrendered it would give me time to get to the drivers side of the car, hotwire it and then come and get you." Tony raised an eyebrow at his partner.

"What do you think?" asked Bryan.

"I don't like it," replied Tony.

"Oh. Why?" said Bryan.

"Because if you don't succeed, I'm going to be captured again. Why can't you surrender and let me hotwire the car?"

"You can't hotwire a car Tony. It takes you to long," said Bryan. "We'd both be captured again."

"I can hotwire the damn car," said Tony. Bryan shook his head and argued with his partner. "You can but it takes you forever. I'm not going to let them keep you. Come on, What do you say? We can't stay here forever. Eventually there going to come and get us. We need to make a move now. Dean and Sam are in trouble. Okay?"

"No," said Tony.

"Come on Tony. I won't let him capture you. It's the only way." Tony sucked in a breath and looked at Bryan.

"Okay fine," said Tony, "but if I get captured again,;….."

'You won't, I promise," said Bryan. Tony shook his head and turned toward the woods.

"Okay!" he yelled. "I give up!" He looked at Bryan who nodded. Slowly and carefully he raised his hands above the level of the car. When no shots were fired, he stood to his feet.

"Don't move!" yelled the gunman.

"Don't worry," said Tony. "I won't."

"Where is the other one?" said the gunman. Tony looked down at Bryan who had made his way under the car and was currently scooting to the other side, on his back.

"I don't know," yelled Tony. "He made his way into the woods."

"He's not going to leave you here alone Tony, do you think I'm and idiot!" said the gunman.

"You really want me to answer that," said Tony under his breath. Bryan grinned at his partner.

"He's not here," said Tony. "He's probably going to get help." The gunman didn't say anything for a few minutes and then said, "Get over here." Tony kept his hands where the gunman could see them and walked over.

"Stop!" the gunman said. Tony stopped where he was. Bryan finally got over to the other side and wondered how he was going to get the door open without the gunman knowing. Tony thought too. When the gunman walked out of the shadows, Tony positioned himself on the other side of the car. The gunman had his back turned to Bryan.

"He's not a very good friend is he," said the gunman. Tony didn't answer. The gunman grabbed his arm and spun him around. He was forced to place his hand on a large bolder while he was searched. Bryan opened the door of the car and lay down in the seat to begin working on the wires. After several minutes the car roared to life. The gunman, startled, turned in the direction of the sound; Tony took the chance and hit him in the face, knocking him down. He reached down, but the man hit Tony back, snapping his head. He fell. Blood poured from his nose.

"You son of a bitch!" yelled the gunman and got to his feet before Tony could. He placed his gun right between Tony's eyes and cocked the hammer. Tony froze. "I'll kill your ass," said the gunman. "Say goodbye to your partner."

Bryan hurriedly put the car in gear and raced over to where the gunman had Tony. He hit him with the car. The gunman flew over the hood and fell unconscious to the ground. Bryan jumped out and ran to his partner's side.

"Tony," said Bryan nervously. "Are you okay?" He helped Tony to his feet, when he found out that he was and winced at the look his partner was currently giving him.

"Next time, I will hot wire the damn car!" yelled Tony and jerked away. Bryan grinned. "Deal," he said. "Are you okay?" Tony nodded. "Yeah," he said. "Are you?" Bryan said he was and they both climbed in the car to go get Sam and Dean. Tony had picked up the gunman's gun and checked the barrel. It was full. The man must have just reloaded it.

"How far is Nemesis house," asked Tony.

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be far. I just thought of something though."

"Yeah, what's that," said Tony.

"What if this is a trap. I mean Nemesis is supposed to be able to hear and see everything. He 's supposed to be watching, so what if he's waiting for us when we get there."

"I don't know. All I know is that we have to get Sam and Dean," replied Tony.

"I agree, but what if it's a trap?" asked Bryan again. Tony didn't answer, but he was thinking the same thing.

"I don't know," he said finally. We'll just have to watch each others backs. I'm not leaving Sam and Dean there," said Tony.

"Me either," replied Bryan. "I have tno intentions of leaving them there. I just want us to be careful."

"We will," said Tony. "We will." About an hour later they pulled up into the dirt road that led to Nemesis's house. Bryan pulled off to the side. "Let's walk from here," he said. Tony agreed and they both got out and made there way toward the house. All was quiet. Too quiet, they thought, and neither one of them liked it.

They made their way to the corner of the woods and saw the house looming in the distance. There was only one light on in the house that they could see and none outside. It was like the dead lived there. There was no sound. No crickets or birds or frogs. It was deathly quiet.

"I don't think I like this," said Tony.

"Me either," Bryan agreed.

They made their way slowly and carefully to the back of the property and cautiously entered the house through the back door. Bryan went first because he had the gun but there was no one around.

"I really don't like this," said Bryan. Tony agreed. "Just stay close," he said. They made there way to the hallway and saw a guard sitting outside a locked door. He appeared to be dozing so they slowly approached. The guard sensed somebody around and jerked awake just as Tony hit him in the face, knocking him out. Bryan looked inside the small door and gasped when he saw Dean. Tony got the guard tied up and looked also. Quickly Bryan took the keys that Tony had retrieved from the guard and unlocked the door,

It was 3 am. There was still no sound. It was too quiet. Tony and Bryan were both very nervous because this seemed too easy. Tony watched for trouble while Bryan rushed over to Dean.
