Toni Bevell splashes water in Sam's face, waking him up.

"Good morning, Sam. Let's start again, shall we? Take our time. I've cleared my calendar. I would like names and locations of every hunter... the passcodes to each and every Men of Letters database held in the bunker, and then -- oh, yes -- let's do discuss your relationship with the demon Ruby."

"And since none of this torture seems to be working, you take your job quite seriously, hmm?" Toni prompts. "You can let me torture you, but would you let me torture a victim?" She walks to the side, Sam's gaze finally falling onto the unconscious redhead girl that's lying on the floor, shackles around her wrists with a chain that's connected to the wall.

Sam frowns, mostly in confusion, not sure where Toni would have kidnapped a random girl. He studies her -- pale skin, so skinny it looks like a tight hug might break her. She can't be any older than fifteen.

"You kidnapped a teenager?" Sam asks.

"We found her being held captive by two vampires." Toni informs. "She wasn't easy to find, but orders were given and we followed them. The two vampires are now dead and their little personal blood bag is ours. We were supposed to take her back to our headquarters to question her, figure out if she's to be let go or not."

"She's a kid." Sam says.

"I won't do anything if you talk." Toni says, grabbing a bucket. She douses water onto the girl, waking her up. Lucy violently coughs as she shoots up. She instinctively goes to wipe her face, but her hands don't reach her face, the chains preventing her from getting far.

She looks around, internally panicking at the unfamiliar surroundings. She harshly swallows, scooting back until she's pressed against the wall.

"Now... will you finally talk or do I have to torture her more than she's already been?" Toni questions, picking up the brass knuckles.

Before Sam can protest and before Toni can do anything, her phone rings. She puts the brass knuckles down and picks it up, answering the call.

"Mick." She quietly says, walking away from Sam, but Lucy is still able to hear her. "I have Sam Winchester." Lucy assumes that's the name of the guy who's in the chair. "He's close to breaking. Just leave me be."

Toni storms out after hanging up the phone, Lucy watching her in confusion.

"Hey." Lucy jumps at the man's voice, looking at him with wide eyes. "I-I'm Sam." He introduces, hoping to calm her down from her freaked out state. She resembles a deer in headlights. "What's your name?"

"Lucy." She quietly answers.

"Okay, Lucy. Ho-how old are you?" Sam asks.

"Uh..." Lucy frowns, not even sure how she would do that math. She looks down at her body. "I don't... I don't know." She sheepishly says.

"You don't know?" Sam asks and she shakes her head. "Okay." He frowns. "Um... okay, uh, where... where did they find you?"

"I don't-- I-I--" Her voice cracks, Sam noticing how worked up she starts to get.

"Okay, okay, hey, never mind. Forget it. Don't tell me." Sam quickly tells her, nodding when she relaxes a bit. She pulls her legs to her chest, making herself appear even smaller than she already is.

Sam can tell she's struggling to process everything and not wanting to make it worse, he just stays silent, keeping an eye on her in case she starts to freak out.

The door opens and Toni steps in.

"Screw yourself." Sam says.
