Reckless and Brave

XIII. Live and Let Die (Part II)

Sam shook the boy and he immediately freaked out. "Hey, Gavin. It's okay. We're here to help."

Gavin's eyes narrowed. "Who are you two?"

Holly smiled. "My name is Holly, and this is Sam. We found your girlfriend."

"Kat?" Gavin asked as he stood up. "Is she alright?"

Sam nodded. "Yeah. She's worried about you. Are you okay?"

Gavin frowned. "I was running. I think I fell."

Holly tilted her head slightly. "What were you running from?"

"There was...there was this girl. Her face. It was all messed up."

Sam and Holly exchanged a look before he said, "Okay, listen, did this girl...did she try and hurt you?"

"What? No, she...uh..."

"She what?" Holly pressed.

"She...kissed me." Gavin answered, looking ashamed and disgusted.

"Uh...um...but...but she didn't hurt you physically?" Sam asked.

"Dude! She kissed me. I'm scarred for life."

Holly sighed. "Trust me, it could have been much worse. Do you remember anything else?"

"She uh...actually, she tried to whisper something in my ear."

"What?" Sam and Holly asked.

Gavin shook his head. "I don't know. I ran like hell."

They ran down the hall to hear Kat screaming and Dean banging on the door. "What's going on?" Sam asked.

Dean looked at them with wide eyes. "She's inside with one of them."

Kat screamed, "Help me!"

"Kat!" Gavin cried.

"Get me outta here!"

Sam stepped up to the door. "Kat, it's not going to hurt you. Listen to me. You've gotta face it. You've got to calm down."

Dean's eyes widened, turning to Sam. "She's gotta what?!"

Holly placed a hand on his chest. "Trust him. He knows what he's doing."

Dean glowered at her as Kat shouted, "I have to what?!"

"These spirits, they're not trying to hurt us, they're trying to communicate." Sam explained. "You gotta face it. You gotta listen to it."

"You face it!" Kat retorted.

"No! It's the only way to get out of there."

"No!"

Holly walked up to the door. "Kat, you can do it."

It fell silent and Gavin asked, "Kat?"

Dean frowned at his siblings. "Man, I hope you two are right about this."

Sam nodded. "Yeah, me too."

The group waited outside the door for a few tense moments and the locked clicked. The door opened and Kat stood in the doorway.

Gavin let out a relieved sigh. "Oh, Kat."

Sam walked inside the room to check it out and walked back out, shaking his head at his siblings.

"One-thirty-seven." Kat said.

Dean frowned. "Sorry?"

"It whispered in my ear. 137."
